420 with CNW – 3 Marijuana Trends Likely to Manifest in 2020

Marijuana consumers can attest to the fact that the modern marijuana experience is changing at lightning speed since they are experiencing the speedy growth firsthand. This is seen from the increased marijuana products being displayed on the shelves in dispensaries and the spread of marijuana reforms throughout the U.S. states, as well as the establishment of consumption lounges in selected locations. Besides, people should expect more changes in the marijuana sector in the near future.

This year, some of the changes that will take place include the presidential elections and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) colossal duty of regulating CBD for human use.

We are optimistic about the 2020 trends because marijuana is developing into a designated commodity crop, and the cannabis sector is sort of similar to other traditional industries as legalization and commercialization of the plant continues throughout the nation.

Discussed below are some of the changes to expect in 2020.

More emphasis on quality and accountability

The legal marijuana sector started with low expectations where people were expected to cultivate marijuana flowers or develop infused products that meet the state’s quality standards and then sell it to the consumers. However, this year people should expect to see drastic changes in the quality and accountability of marijuana products — because farmers have realized that growing better pot flowers gives them a competitive edge.

Marijuana edibles and topicals will also experience changes because brands will start investing in better, healthier, sustainable, and more luxurious ingredients, especially after the recent vaping illness outbreak.

Favorable federal amendments

Although marijuana is still federally illegal, many pot fans are not affected by federal marijuana policies in their daily lives because cannabis is available in many U.S. states, making it possible for the majority of Americans to access legal marijuana.

In the U.S., every plant used for commercial purposes, through the dispensaries, cultivation facilities, manufacturers, pays a fee to the state. Acquiring a business location is very costly because of the restrictive zoning requirement and the stigma surrounding marijuana. Also, taxes imposed on pot are off the charts because of the IRS tax code 280E. Due to the difficulties of accessing financial services from the banks, licensed marijuana businesses are faced with the challenge of handling capital.

However, some of these challenges will change this year, and the consumers will experience the change because the U.S. Congress passed legislation that authorizes marijuana businesses to operate as any other business as well as the SAFE Banking Act.

Enhanced marijuana technological discoveries

In the last few years, there have been remarkable innovations in the canna-tech space, such as the hypur and Eaze delivery app, and we have also seen some failed tech innovation.

However, in 2020, we expect to see more canna-tech innovations because of the increased market confidence, funds availability, and the lessening of the stigma against weed. Besides, consumers are demanding heightened marijuana experiences.

Therefore, people should expect to see game-changing extraction pieces of machinery and consumption devices such as vaporizers. Farmers should also expect to see technological equipment that will make a significant impact on breeding and farming programs, and such technology will be on humidity control and decontamination. These technological improvements will be vital for companies that are considering exporting large shipments of marijuana around the globe.

Analysts posit that marijuana companies like The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and Youngevity International Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) expect the issues above to have a strong bearing on the development of the industry in the coming years.

420 with CNW – Why Law Enforcement May Not Be Ideal for Stamping Out the Marijuana Black Market

The illicit marijuana market is still thriving in California. A recent audit conducted by the United Cannabis Business Association in California showed that the number of illicit marijuana businesses is approximately 3,000. In June, Griffen Thorne wrote a post on the several ways the state can fight the thriving black market, which is a problem for the state economy as well as a threat to people’s health.

However, the state did not initially acknowledge the suggested methods of fighting the illegal market since, recently, the state announced a tax increase on marijuana products, which in turn raised the cost of legal marijuana and thus forcing consumers to turn to the illicit market where marijuana is cheap. But, now, the state seems to be adopting the marijuana policies used by other states such as regulating its marijuana market and improving its enforcement efforts.

Last month, search warrants were served on 24 unlawful businesses, and the Bureau of Cannabis Control, working in collaboration with Los Angeles officials, raided the said businesses and seized marijuana buds and marijuana products worth about $8.8 million. They also impounded 9,885 illegal vape pens and $128,742 in cash. Previously, the bureau had issued landlords whose buildings were being used by illegal marijuana businesses in the state with notice letters notifying them that they could be subject to criminal and civil liability. Previously, the BCC randomly raided and closed such companies, and the action of raiding and seizing products is a significant improvement in their enforcement protocols.

Apart from BCC, other agencies such as the Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in California have also upped their enforcement activities. For instance, on December 13, CDFA, through California’s Attorney General, sued several persons and entities who, according to CDFA, had cultivated and processed marijuana without permits. According to the lawsuit, the lawbreakers are liable for maximum civil penalties of about $10,000 license fee per violation, which is three times the amount of CDFA’s license fees.

The risk of being charged with marijuana law violations in California isn’t something to joke about. Under California law, marijuana agencies are authorized to seek fines of up to $30,000 per day/per violation of any unlawful marijuana activity. Now that the government is taking action by fighting against the black market, people operating illicit marijuana businesses are at high risk because the penalties could quickly get to millions of dollars due to the number of days it takes to grow and harvest the crop. Stanislaus County announced that people growing marijuana illegally would be subjected to a fine of $1,000 per plant per day.

This enforcement trend is likely to spread to other states grappling with the same problem. For instance, Washington has a mature and well regulated adult-use marijuana market and marijuana lawyers in the state say that the regulatory agency shifted from focusing on compliance to full-on enforcement such that the lawmakers had to force the agency to turn their attention back to compliance through legislation.

Many experts are of the view that the illicit marijuana market cannot be eliminated through enforcement because you will always find people who are willing to take on the risk and ignore the law. Even during the years, marijuana was prohibited in the U.S., there were still people ready to grow, process, and sell marijuana irrespective of the risks. However, if the government wants to eradicate the black market, they must lower the taxes, introduce fewer regulations, and expand access to marijuana, such as more dispensaries and cultivation licenses so that more legal players are within reach of consumers.

It would be interesting to hear what specific measures marijuana industy actors like Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) and Hemptown USA recommend for dealing a decisive blow against marijuana black market operators.

420 with CNW – 5 Mistakes Commercial Cannabis Producers Should Avoid

Marijuana is a profitable crop that is highly regulated, and growers must avoid the mistakes discussed below when establishing their commercial operations. This will enable them to produce high-quality yields and still adhere to the evolving regulations.

Installing a growing system using equipment from various suppliers.

Setting up your commercial marijuana facility will be difficult if you are ordering the equipment, such as benching, irrigation systems, and lighting from different suppliers. As a grower, you should make sure that your benches are well coordinated with your irrigation system. Similarly, the cooling system should be designed in a way that takes into consideration the lighting details. Commercial farmers should take advantage of the automated growing equipment available on the market because when it is appropriately designed as an integrated system, it provides better traceability and uniform quality of the crop. It also increases crop yields.

Fitting your commercial marijuana facility with systems meant for small scale operations.

The facility and systems needed for small scale farming are different from those required in the industrial production of marijuana. And to ensure that commercial growers maintain consistent quality control in their facilities, they not only have to invest in systems and equipment capable of handling large operations but also ones that are capable of adapting to expansion plans in the near future. Growers should also work with experts who are experienced in designing top-notch marijuana facilities. The experts can also provide consultation services to the growers to ensure long-term growth.

Failing to develop reliable connections with your suppliers.

Before growing marijuana in your commercial facility, you should make sure that the facility is built to code by people who have the expertise and experience in building marijuana facilities. Before choosing the supplier, perform due diligence. Ask for references, and also visit their manufacturing factory and offices to ensure that their products and services are up to par. Their product must be of quality because it is a significant factor in the marijuana sector. Do not take shortcuts because it will only delay your license approval or cultivation of cannabis; therefore, ensure that your supplier will not fail you in any situation.

Failing to automate the growing process.

In order to adhere to the regulations stipulated by health departments and maintain a competitive edge, growers should be consistent in their quality control and compliance in their day to day operations. Their facility should be fitted with integrated growing systems, light levels, timed irrigation systems, specific fertilizing mix, air filtration, cooling, and heating system that can be adjusted automatically depending on the plant’s needs. This makes it easy to monitor and record the details on the environmental computer; thus, any unnecessary changes can be easily identified and corrected.

Postponing urgent orders until the last minute.

Some suppliers say that sometimes, they receive calls from growers who need benches and irrigation systems manufactured and fitted in their commercial facilities because they are being inspected in a few days. Although they have been in a position to meet the urgent orders, it is not advisable to rely on this method. The costs of setting up commercial marijuana facilities are substantial but entirely necessary for passing the inspection; therefore, growers should plan and get set up ahead of the scheduled inspection.

Industry watchers believe that experienced marijuana entities like Neutra Corp. (OTC: NTRR) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) know all too well the importance of avoiding the mistakes highlighted in the discussion above.
