420 with CNW – First Marijuana Wedding Expo to Showcase How Marijuana Can Be Part of Your Big Day

Phillip Wolf developed the Cannabis Wedding Expo after noticing that there was little or no exposure for cannabis services. The expo was started in Colorado in the year 2015 after noticing that young entrepreneurs were interested in the hospitality and service side of marijuana, but they did not have a clue on the ways to market themselves.

The 12th edition of Cannabis Wedding Expo will Debut in Toronto Canada this Sunday. It will be showcasing hemp gowns, bouquets made of buds, and flower vases that also serve as bongs.

The Cannabis Wedding Expo caters to couples who are looking for an alternative way to incorporate marijuana in their wedding in a tasteful manner. There will be 50 wedding experts, exceptional cannabis sellers, and bud-tenders.

According to Wolf, weed can be incorporated in other events, and they aim to show people different ways to do it. He further says that he intends to show people that apart from alcohol, weed can also be used at social events.

Wolf said, recently, there is a shift where people are seeking different options when they are out having fun. If someone does not want to have a drink, he or she can opt to smoke weed.

Clayton Armstrong is a bud-tender and co-owner of Bud Buffets says he aims to end the negative stigma linked with marijuana. Citing one of his company slogans, Armstrong said that we are past the days when people smoked weed in hiding.

Bud buffet works with events planners to make sure that they offer their clients luxury smoking and vaping accessories at their special events. The planners also make sure to moderate weed intake to the last gram.  However, the best thing for people is to bring your bud (BYOB), said Armstrong.

Jonathan Sora owns Higher Knowledge Company. The company conducts training sessions for wedding bud-tenders, teaching them how to pair a three-course meal with the three strains of marijuana. “Just like food is paired with wine,” said Sora. Sora said that the interest in his company has been soaring, and people have been very supportive.

It is a little over a year since Canada legalized marijuana; however, the means of distribution are still undefined.

Naz Neufeld, who is the co-founder of Thyme Studio, a floral design company, said that adding buds to bouquets could be termed as distribution when it’s just that, a bouquet.

According to Magnolia Pancorbo, her wedding guests are interested in the recreational nature of marijuana, so they are considering doing a weed wedding.

Wolf said that as laws regarding marijuana become more defined, people are going to incorporate weed into their events in different ways and the wedding expo is one way of showing them the possibilities of doing just that.

It would be interesting to get an honest opinion from longstanding marijuana companies like Youngevity International Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) regarding whether they ever imagined that marijuana-themed weddings would be a reality at this point in time.

420 with CNW – Marijuana Toothpaste Will Soon Debut on the Market, Says Belgian Dentist

According to a dentist from Morsel Belgium, Dr. Veronica Stahl, cannabis has antibacterial factors that help in fighting dental diseases. This knowledge has resulted into the formulation of a new marijuana toothpaste to be known as Cannabite Lifelong, and it has a painkilling effects perfect for alleviating toothache. Cannabite Lifelong can also serve as a pain reliever after root canal surgery.

Although research on marijuana is still ongoing in the UK and other parts of the world, the treatment of chronic pain using marijuana extracts is backed up by existing research.

Dr. Stahl is licensed to practice dentistry in the UK, but she hails originally from Israel. She said that products that are infused with the healing compounds of marijuana, the cannabinoids, are capable of helping millions of patients. Such products include the marijuana toothpaste, which will help patients maintain their natural teeth in the face of gum diseases, cavities, and other soft tissue diseases.

Dr. Stahl said that with Cannabite Lifelong, the number of people suffering from gum diseases and pain would reduce.

The development of the Cannabite Lifelong toothpaste is based on emerging medical research, which relies highly on the healing properties of the marijuana plant’s extracts and their interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system.

The process of producing the toothpaste is exciting, said Dr. Stahl.

Dr. Stahl has been practicing dentistry for the last 23 years. She said that the public is still stigmatized and harbors a lot off misunderstanding when it comes to applications of medical marijuana.

She further said that during the toothpaste development, they did not use THC, which is responsible for the high effect. The toothpaste is therefore not for recreational purposes; so, you cannot just mix marijuana into a toothpaste.

According to Dr. Stahl, the CBD compound in marijuana is suitable for medicinal purposes, and they are carrying on with the research to help improve the healing processes.  For instance, in a root canal surgery, amputating the nerve does not cure that nerve, researchers are looking to bring a revolution in the root canal surgery where the nerve can be maintained and cured with cannabis.

According to Dr. Stahl, the marijuana toothpaste, and other marijuana products will be launched in the European market in the next few years.

Marijuana is classified as a class B drug in the UK, and possessing it in any form is illegal. However, CBD oil, also referred to as cannabidiol, is legal in the UK.  CBD oil is popular because of its medicinal properties.

Experts think that marijuana industry players like Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) and IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) are also frequently surprised by the seemingly endless ways in which marijuana can be used.

420 with CNW – Finnish Government to Consider Petition to Decriminalize Marijuana

Possession and cultivation of marijuana for personal use is being considered for decriminalization by Finland’s government after marijuana advocates collected the 50,000-plus petition signatures required to prompt the parliament to review the measure.

The proposal stipulates that people found in possession of 25 grams of marijuana or farming a maximum of four plants would not face criminal charges.

The yields of a single marijuana plant are equivalent to the 25 grams permitted under the proposal; therefore, people are urged to dry one plant at a time.

According to Yle, the collection of signatures was started last month by a group called Kasvua Kannabiksesta. Most of the signatures were gathered last month by the Kasvua Kannabikseat group. And, they credited their success to their social media campaigns.

The activist Janne Karvinen said that it is natural for people to do things at the last minute. Recently the group has been promoting the measure through social media. She believes that there are more than 50,000 people in Finland supporting their proposal.

According to the measure, people who consume marijuana in a public space would be charged under new penalties.

A translated explanation of the petition states that the current policy goal is harm reduction, but it has not succeeded. The anti-drug policy is the motive behind the prohibition of marijuana possession and consumption. The ban only targets the minority, and it is harmful to people, and a big waste of law enforcement resources.

The advocates said that imposing criminal charges on marijuana consumers is harmful because no matter how minor the charges are, the misdemeanor offense stays on the person’s records. The advocates also cited the decriminalization model in Portugal, which helped in reducing the number of drug overdoses and people infected with HIV.

The group said that instead of legalizing marijuana, Finland’s government should decriminalize it, as this ensures that it is still adhering to the United Nations rules that stipulate that member countries should not allow marijuana to be legally regulated and sold. However, this has not hindered member countries such as Canada and Uruguay from legalizing cannabis.

According to the proposal, decriminalization is the process of abolishing the criminal aspects of an act that is illegal and punishable by law. The abolished criminal sections may be transformed into a minor offense punishable by a fine.

The Finnish lawmakers will formally debate and consider the decriminalization proposal, but it is still too early to predict whether they will approve or reject the petition.

Analysts think that industry players like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) and VPR Brands LP (OTCQB: VPRB) may be watching the proceedings in Finland closely in order to see whether that part of the continent will eventually allow its citizens to benefit from the jobs, tax revenues and other benefits brought by a regulated marijuana market.

420 with CNW – University of Maryland Mulls Offering a Master’s in Marijuana

Summer Kriegshauser is a Washington DC denizen studying for her second master’s degree online. Each day before she goes to work, she logs in to a website and goes through her lectures and classwork. She is hopeful that she will be able to change careers with additional qualifications. She is studying for a Masters of Science in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics.

Kriegshauser is one of the 150 students who are the pioneers of the marijuana masters graduate program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, in the U.S.

This is a standalone program. However, some universities are providing students with one-off classes on marijuana, and two others have created an undergraduate degree in medicinal plant chemistry, but none has gone as far as Maryland by offering a master’s degree in cannabis.

The program is carried out over a period of two years, and the highest percentage of the courses are online-based. The program comes at a time when the number of states legalizing marijuana for both medical and recreational use is on the rise.  This is creating ever-expanding opportunities for people looking to grow in the cannabis industry, and given the dynamism of the marijuana industry and laws related to weed, the possibilities are bound to keep expanding.

Expertise in marijuana is gained through experience as the industry continues to grow. Those looking to make a career in the marijuana industry are taking a risky gamble because the likelihood of finding a job can be tasking in such fluid circumstances.

Kriegshauser says that she loves everything marijuana, but quitting her job to work at a marijuana dispensary to learn about marijuana was out of the question. She wanted to learn the properties of cannabis, all the compounds such as CBD, and how they interact with the body. She also wanted to learn about dosing and medical marijuana qualifying ailments.

According to the program director Dr. Leah Sera, the university officials at the school of pharmacy noticed that most of their graduates were entering a professional world where marijuana was viewed as an alternative medicine used for treating several illnesses.

Studies show that there is an educational gap when it comes to medical marijuana. Health professionals are requesting that more education on marijuana be availed since patients turn to them when they have a question related to cannabis and therapeutic uses, said Dr. Sera.

Several cannabis programs are being launched in different states across the U.S, and it would be irresponsible if the pharmacy professionals do not act on it.

The idea for the program was first conceived by the school’s dean, Natalie D. Eddington. She received the go-ahead from the Board of Regents and the state’s higher education authorities in May and June, respectively. The Attorney-General gave his go-ahead after he was assured that the students would not be handling marijuana in the school compound.

The university intended for the inaugural class to consist of 50 students, but they were forced to increase the number to 150 after an overwhelming number of 506 individuals applied. The class has students from different states and countries such as Hong Kong and Australia. The required number of courses is four and some electives.

Kriegshauser said that although there is much uncertainty when it comes to getting a job, she is confident that her master’s degree will enhance her professional career.

Industry watchers and the entire cannabis industry, including players like MustGrow Biologics Corp. (CSE: MGRO) and Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) are glad that higher education institutions are taking the initiative to bridge the knowledge and skills gap existing in the marijuana industry.
