Grapefruit USA (OTCQB: GPFT), an innovative California-based cannabiotech company, today outlined its optimism for the new year, execution of existing plans and new initiatives as the company evolves in response to constant, rapid changes in the cannabis sector on its path to becoming a leading multinational cannabiotech. Among the highlights, the company reported that it expects to file for approval of its Notice of New Cannabis Product (“NNCP”) with Health Canada later this week. NNCP approval is a mandatory prerequisite to the launch of sales of Grapefruit’s patented Hourglass time-release, technology-powered THC+CBD-infused topical delivery cream in licensed retail outlets throughout Canada. “2021 was a very complicated year for Grapefruit as we struggled with the difficulties engendered by the simultaneous glut of cannabis flowers, reduction of demand and logistical disruptions caused by the worldwide pandemic,” said Bradley J. Yourist, Grapefruit’s CEO and co-founder. “Nevertheless, the company exhibited its fundamental value and resilience by emphasizing further development of our disruptive Hourglass technology and line of Hourglass-based products. Recently, we have been very busy organizing our strategic corporate plans and initiatives for the new year and beyond. We have put in place foundational initiatives that will transform Grapefruit into a multinational cannabiotech company. While we recognize that our share price has softened over the last few months, we made a conscious decision to not issue any press releases until we felt the time was right. However, now our new initiatives have been formulated and have commenced, our corporate plans are in place, and we will be updating our shareholders with respect to the above articulated points on an ongoing consistent basis so they can share in the excitement and growth of Grapefruit throughout 2022.”

Grapefruit USA (OTCQB: GPFT), a premiere California-based cannabis and hemp company, today announced the official launch of the world’s first patented time-release, hemp-based CBD topical cream with boosted bioavailability, made possible by its proprietary Hourglass(TM) technology. Hourglass, a unique method for topical delivery of CBD, leverages a proprietary process that involves the grinding of CBD into nano-sized particles, substantially smaller than the width of a human hair, which allows for significantly higher bioavailability and absorption. “Over the last several months, our Hourglass product team has received extremely positive product feedback and internal reviews from our product testers and retail customers after their regular use of our hemp-based CBD Hourglass topicals, which is extremely gratifying for the company and at base shows that the technology works,” said Bradley Yourist, CEO at Grapefruit USA. “Grapefruit’s Hourglass Topical Delivery Cream will fundamentally change the way individuals use CBD and other cannabinoids to obtain their holistic benefits.”

Yourist. “We now expect to bring the process forward to the point of making a decision in the next 30-60 days. Once again, that being said, we wish to emphasize that the discussions reported here, although substantive and largely positive, remain in the MOU and pre-definitive agreement stage as a result of the delay from April 2021 to the present and may be subject to termination at any time.

Grapefruit USA (OTCQB: GPFT) understands that humans aren’t the only ones who may benefit from all that cannabidiol (“CBD”) has to offer and is positioning in a rapidly growing market. The pet CBD industry has experienced significant growth over the last several years, with the Brightfield Group projecting an expected market valuation of more than $1.7 billion by 2025 (https://cnw.fm/drv6i). Grapefruit is leveraging its expertise in the space with the launch of a new USDA-certified organic CBD pet tincture. “We understand that pet owners are now demanding organic, plant-based, natural remedies to keep their furry family members calm and in good health, and avoid the potential negative side effects of generic, synthetic pet medications,” a recent article quotes Bradley Yourist, co-founder and CEO of GPFT, commenting on the product launch. “Grapefruit’s new Pet CBD Tincture meets this pet-owner market demand because it is derived from hemp grown right here in the U.S., and each batch is lab tested for purity. . . . Our commitment to obtain the USDA-certified organic seal clearly demonstrates GPFT’s continued commitment to creating the best high-quality, safe and effective CBD products for our customers, be they human, feline, canine or otherwise. Our pets deserve the same relief that their owners have experienced with our other CBD products, such as our THC-free, hemp-derived CBD Hourglass time-release topical relief cream.”

The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) is funding a project to develop hemp fiber insulation, which in comparison to traditional preparations, is said to be better for both public health as well as the environment. In addition to awarding almost $200,000 to facilitate research, the department granted Hempitecture’s COO Tommy Gibbons a yearly stipend of $90,000.

The DOE is especially interested in the firm’s HempWool product, which is said to be a high-performing and extremely sustainable insulation material. The hemp-based product, which has a low carbon footprint and strong thermal resistance, is a nontoxic alternative to conventional insulation.

In an interview, Gibbons stated that the Department of Energy was interested in the insulation’s potential for decarbonization as well as that of other building materials that have been manufactured using hemp fibers. The company is planning to carry out research and test proprietary blends of its insulation material in an attempt to enhance its fire resistance and insulation value. This is in addition to improving onshore manufacturing of insulation products that use industrial hemp waste obtained from farmers in America.

A description of the project notes that the emphasis on low-carbon, healthy building materials has prompted a search for solutions from the government as well as consumers to reduce the huge footprint of the built environment and reconstruct better infrastructure. The department’s Innovation Crossroads program is also working to fulfill a goal set by the Biden administration that would reduce carbon emissions and increase the use of clean energy.

With the grant awarded to Hempitecture, the DOE appears to be recognizing what experts and stakeholders have previously stated: hemp is an environmentally friendly and sound investment.

In other news, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) had announced earlier this year that it would be awarding a grant of $100,000 to a company headquartered in Washington state. The agency stated that the grant would help support the development of more sustainable bricks manufactured using industrial hemp.

Among the companies to receive the grant under the agency’s innovation research program was Earth Merchant, which produces OlogyBricks. OlogyBricks are considered to be an alternative to construction bricks manufactured from concrete and other materials as they are carbon negative, lightweight and durable, in addition to being hemp based. In a notice, the EPA stated that the hemp-based product would improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency in single-family homes, among other architectural applications.

Nearly three years ago, the agency also awarded a $12,000 grant to a research team from the University of California to facilitate research on how to use hemp as a renewable fiber in construction. The success of this hemp insulation research would unearth an economically viable use for the hemp waste left after companies such as Grapefruit USA Inc. (OTCQB: GPFT) have extracted CBD from hemp biomass.

It seems like the wave of cannabis reform that has been sweeping through America is not going to stop any time soon. More than 30 states have already allowed the consumption of cannabis in one form or other within their borders, and this year at least four states have passed cannabis reform legislation. With lawmakers considering federally rescheduling cannabis, activists in several states are also working on putting cannabis legislation before voters next year. The following are some of the states that will likely vote on cannabis legislation measures in 2022.

Arkansas will likely vote on cannabis legislation next year if activists are able to collect enough signatures for a recreational cannabis proposal. Prepared by Arkansas True Grass, this bill would allow adults aged 21 and older to purchase and possess up to four ounces of marijuana as well as grow up to 12 plants at home for personal use only. Additionally, qualifying adults would have no limit on possession as long as the cannabis is kept out of public view.

Idaho officials recently gave activists the go-ahead to start collecting signatures for a cannabis legalization initiative that would legalize the purchase and possession of up to three ounces of cannabis on private property. However, since the initiative doesn’t create a system for cannabis sales and taxation nor does it allow home cultivation, consumers would be expected to buy cannabis from neighbor states with legal markets and bring it back to Idaho. Activists are also collecting signatures for a separate measure that would legalize medical cannabis and allow patients to possess as much as four ounces of cannabis.

Maryland House Speaker Adrienne Jones recently said in a press release that early next year, state lawmakers will pass legislation to put the question of whether or not to legalize cannabis before Maryland voters as a referendum. In February, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on a cannabis proposal, while in March, a separate cannabis legalization measure sponsored by top lawmakers was subject to a Senate Finance Committee Hearing. Despite these hearings, the legislature didn’t hold a vote, and the two chambers are hoping to reconcile the differences between the two bills and send a bill to Governor Larry Hogan’s desk.

In Missouri a group of cannabis activists is working to put cannabis legislation on next year’s ballot via a number of initiatives. Fair Access Missouri, for instance, has filed several proposals that would allow adults aged 21 and older to purchase and possess cannabis as well as modify Missouri’s existing medical marijuana program.

Nebraska voters will most likely see two complementary medical cannabis initiatives on the 2022 ballot after the state Supreme Court voided an initiative that qualified for the 2020 vote. Senators Adam Morfeld and Anna Wishart are known to support medical cannabis reform, and they have previously said that they would work to put the question of legalizing cannabis before the voters in 2022.

If the states above start implementing legal marijuana programs, the people and companies in those states will potentially see the kind of growth that entities such as Grapefruit USA Inc. (OTCQB: GPFT) enjoy in California, one of the most mature marijuana markets in the country.
