420 with CNW – Marijuana Legalization Bill Introduced in Pennsylvania

Just a few days after Gov. Tom Wolf (D) announced that he was now in support of legalizing recreational marijuana, a bill has been filed in the state Assembly seeking to create a state-run system through which recreational marijuana can be brought to the state.

Under the legislation introduced by Rep. David Delloso (D), adults 21 or older can possess, consume, purchase and even cultivate marijuana through a stores system run by the state through the Liquor Control Commission.

The text of this proposed law states that the legalization of marijuana is being sought in order to enhance the best use of law enforcement resources, promote personal freedom and avail more revenue in the state purse.

The proposal also includes suggested tax rates for recreational marijuana products. The 19 percent tax collected on sales would be put in the general fund of the state, and a separate regulatory program would be established to oversee industrial hemp.

One notable provision of this draft law seeks to create an avenue through which Pennsylvania would import recreational marijuana products from other states or even countries. However, the existing federal law regards marijuana as a controlled substance that cannot be moved across state lines, which is why companies that operate in different marijuana markets in the U.S. build entirely new systems instead of moving products from one state where they operate to another.

The import provision also creates a condition that other states or countries must meet if they are to engage in recreational marijuana trade with Pennsylvania; those jurisdictions must accept marijuana exports from Pennsylvania.

Oregon was the first to pass such a law providing for interstate commerce in marijuana, but their law had a provision that this mechanism could only be triggered once the federal government changed its laws on marijuana.

In June, Rep. Earl Blumenauer and Sen. Ron Wyden, both Democrats from Oregon, filed similar bills in Congress and the U.S. Senate respectively that would make it possible for states where marijuana is legal to trade in the substance with each other. However, these bills have never been scheduled for hearing.

If this bill is passed, the Liquor Control Commission would be given up to July 1 next year to have regulations ready for the implementation of the recreational marijuana program.

It isn’t yet clear how much support this proposal to run the marijuana program using a state cultivation and distribution model would work since it could put state employees directly in conflict with the federal government that would regard them as “drug traffickers.”

Experts are of the view that industry actors like VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) and VPR Brands LP (OTCQB: VPRB) will be watching to see whether Pennsylvania becomes the first state to run a recreational marijuana system.

420 with CNW – Five Reasons Pennsylvania is Experiencing a Medical Marijuana Drought

A 21-year-old Dalton Hunsberger, who has Perkasie man’s epilepsy, uses medical marijuana to treat his seizures, nausea, and anxiety. However, according to his mother, it has been a challenge accessing the medicine for the past two months, because it sells out the minute it gets to the dispensaries.

According to several dispensary owners, Pennsylvania is on the brink of medical marijuana drought, which has prompted dispensaries to ration marijuana sales. A dispensary in Fishtown, Restore Integrative Health Care, has issued a limit of 7g limit per patient every day, 14g limit per day at Keystone in South Philadelphia and 28g in TerraVida Holistic Centers in Abington caps.

According to the CEO of Keystone Dispensaries, rationing was instituted so that more people could get access to medicine. The Department of Health in Pennsylvania is responsible for overseeing and regulating marijuana markets. Nate Wardle, the spokesperson of the department of health, say that Cannabis shortage is due to the ever-growing state medical marijuana program.

In Pennsylvania, there 60 plus cannabis retail shops which cater to more than 200,000 registered patients. According to the patients and patients’ advocates, the Department of Health which regulates marijuana markets is to blame for not anticipating the rise in demand; and for not ensuring that there are enough marijuana growers to meet the patients’ needs.

According to industry observers, medical marijuana drought is not only as a result of lack of expertise in regulating the fast-growing industry by state officials but also because;

  1. Some Marijuana Growers are not Cultivation the Crop

The number of growers in the state stays constant, while the number of patients and dispensaries continues to increase. In a state where there should 25 medical marijuana growers, only ten growers are active two years after attaining grower permits.

Pennsylvania awarded the first 12 permits in June to farmers, but only a few were qualified to proceed as some lacked the expertise while others did not have the financial capability to maintain plant growth.

Agrimed LLC was among the first to get the permit; however, the state has no plan of renewing the license because the company has not supplied the state with marijuana citing theft of the marijuana plants. Another company was Readings Franklin Lab who immediately after getting the permit tried to flip it for $20 million. Currently, the two companies are controlled by Harvest Inc. of Arizona, a beleaguered marijuana company.

The second round of permits was issued in July 2018, where the awarded companies promised to start supplying in a period of six months. However, none of them has shipped marijuana in over a year.

  1. Increased Number of Dispensaries

The number of approved dispensaries continues to skyrocket from the initial 43 at the beginning of the year to the present 67 of which 60 are fully operational. All dispensaries must be stocked with all the medicines from buds, vapes, oils, and concentrates. The dispensary owners are struggling to maintain inventory due to the increased competition.

  1. Increased Number of Registered Patients

When medical marijuana was approved, there were 17 qualifying conditions, but currently, there are 23 conditions. Among the qualifying conditions added are anxiety, opioid-use disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome. More than 3,000 patients registered when anxiety was approved. This put pressure on the existing supply of medicine.

  1. Patients are Ordering More Buds Instead of Vapes

Patients are ordering buds since they are cheaper than vapes. More so, because vaping has been linked to a lung ailment, even those who could afford the vape products are switching to dry flower, a reality that has caused a supply shortage.

  1. Presence of Mold, Microbial Spoilage that Results in no Harvest

In the months of July and August, Pennsylvania experienced a sudden onset of humidity which affected their crop significantly, resulting in little or no product to take to the market due to the damage by mold.

Experts believe that experienced marijuana industry players like Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FRA: 38G) and The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) may have solutions to the medical marijuana production challenges being faced in Pennsylvania and the players there could do well to consult.

MCTC Holdings (OTC: MCTCD, MCTC) on Monday announced details on its efforts to advance cannabinoid delivery science via polymeric cannabinoid nanoparticles and nanofibers. According to the update, the company is collaborating with two Contract Research Organizations (“CRO”), which continue to make advances in both cannabinoid nanosciences and toward productization of these and related technologies. MCTC plans to market and license numerous products that will offer superior bioavailability, sustained release properties and customization of cannabinoids combinations. “Our R&D program is squarely focused on developing improved methods to deliver cannabinoids to the human body through the use of nanoparticles, nanofibers and unique formulations, some of which will include TPGS,” MCTC Holdings CEO Arman Tabatabaei said in the news release. “Even though we are a small company, some of the developments are on the cutting edge of cannabinoid delivery research. We plan to aggressively expand our intellectual property portfolio over the coming weeks and months via multiple additional patent filings.”
