420 with CNW – Virginia Governor Wants Marijuana Decriminalized in the State in 2020

On Friday, Virginia’s Gov. Ralph Northam announced that on top of his agenda for the 2020 General Assembly session is criminal justice reform and marijuana decriminalization. While listing his legislative priorities, the governor featured a decriminalization measure. Northam intends to make low-level marijuana possession punishable by a fine of $50 without additional jail time; however, his proposal does not specify the exact amount of marijuana that falls in this classification.

His proposal also includes a provision seeking for expungement for people previously convicted of marijuana possession.

In a press release, Northam said that residents of Virginia deserve to have access to a criminal justice system that is fair and equitable. He further said that his proposed legislation and the budget measure would help in fighting mass incarceration, increase support for former convicts and make sure that they are given a second chance after serving their time.

The governor further said that the criminal justice reform agenda is a daring move towards a just and an all-encompassing commonwealth. He also said that he is looking forward to working with the General Assembly to pass the legislation into law. In 2017, Northam made marijuana decriminalization the centerpiece for his gubernatorial campaigns.

It is yet to be specified if the governor is urging the legislature to approve a decriminalization bill that is yet-to-be introduced or if he is supporting one that has already been filed because in November of 2019 after the Democrats regained control of both chambers of the General Assembly, the lawmakers pre-filed a measure seeking to make simple marijuana possession punishable by a fine of $50.

Some legislators in Virginia said that decriminalization and expungement would serve as a gateway to broader marijuana legalization. Last month, Attorney General Mark Herring (D) hosted the marijuana summit whose purpose was to provide information on future marijuana legislation. Herring is vying for the position of governor in 2021, and he plans on supporting total marijuana legalization.

In a press conference, the governor said that although Virginia is not ready for recreational marijuana legalization, he noted that decriminalization is a step in the right direction. He further said that even though his criminal justice plan does not feature broader marijuana legalization, there is a filed legislation seeking to legalize the adult-use cannabis market during the 2020 legislative sessions in Virginia.

The state prosecutors are also considering marijuana reforms, and on Thursday, the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s attorney, Steve Descano, announced that his office would not be pursuing simple cannabis possession cases.

During a phone interview with an online publication, Descano said that it is the duty and responsibility of the prosecutors to ensure that justice is served. He also added that he does not plan on participating in passing the decriminalization bill.

On Thursday, Arlington County Commonwealth attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti said that her office would not be pursuing cases based on marijuana possession from that moment onwards.

In his reform agenda, Northam is seeking to cease the policy of suspending a driver’s license once he or she is convicted of drug offenses or failure to pay jail fees. Experts think that these proposed actions in Virginia are a welcome development in the eyes of marijuana industry players like Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) and IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) who have for long felt it was unjust to punish people for punishing people for using a product that is now seen as beneficial.

420 with CNW – A Primer on Medical Marijuana Products and Dosage Tips

There is a variety of medical marijuana products used to treat various diseases and conditions in the world today. People can use these products through various modes of delivery such as:

Ingestion of liquids such as oils, tinctures, and drinks infused with medical marijuana;
Intake of solids such as capsules or tablets, edibles, and regular foods mixed with medical marijuana oil or powder;
Topical administration directly on the skin. The products include creams, salves, balms, ointments, and transdermal patches;
Suppositories such as tablets or capsules;
Inhalation, which is achieved by smoking dried buds, vaping, or dabbing; and
Insufflation through the use of nasal sprays.

No method of delivery can be termed as perfect because each of the methods has its pros and cons. For some, the relief may be instant, while others take longer before they can feel the effects of weed, while others react with a specific area of the body.

The ability to prescribe the correct dosage of medical marijuana products to treat a medical condition is a vital element when choosing the mode of delivery. Doctors should also consider the patient’s lifestyle as well as their ability to consume drugs reliably and effectively. For example, a strong THC dosage may be effective in treating illness, but it may end up impairing drivers or people operating heavy machinery. Therefore, doctors should advise patients to take small doses at intervals during the day, which will ensure that they get all the benefits required to treat the condition.

Another factor affecting the delivery of medical marijuana is the ‘first pass effect.’ The first-pass effect is the process where enzymes found in the liver breakdown CBD and THC before they are absorbed in the brain or other body organs. This means the dosage getting to the intended location is a smaller proportion than what was ingested.

Patients should note that CBD and THC are not water soluble and that the cannabinoids mix well with fats and oils. For this reason, it is best to consume them along with a fatty meal. It is also important to note that cannabinoids are sensitive to light and oxygen; that is why weed is stored in dark bottles or shelves.

It is recommended for patients to start with low doses and see how it affects the body before increasing the dosage; this method is referred to as dose titration. It is suitable for taking THC medication.

Patients can also take minute doses of the medicine to get the positive benefits without experiencing the adverse side effects of a large dose. This method is referred to as microdosing. Patients can take a small dosage, such as 1/20 of the total dose. It is ideal for anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Tablets and capsules are an accurate and precise method of dosing. They are easily portable and discreet as you can take them in public. They also have a long-lasting effect.

Due to technological advancements and innovations, in the future, patients will have the opportunity to choose products designed to suit their specific needs as well as advanced methods of delivery such as nasal sprays or transdermal patches capable of increasing or lowering dosages automatically.

Experts believe that marijuana companies such as Grapefruit Boulevard Investments Inc. (OTCQB: IGNG) and IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF), are working round the clock to perfect their products and develop novel delivery systems.

420 with CNW – Marijuana Production Legalized in Zambia

The Zambian government has approved a proposal seeking to legalize marijuana production in the African country. The marijuana cultivated in Zambia would be strictly used for medicinal purposes and exportation.

Annual license fees for companies looking to operate marijuana businesses in Zambia will be $250,000. Only those whose bids are successful will be awarded commercial permits to grow and export cannabis.

According to the Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya, the government would issue medical marijuana licenses once companies have presented evidence and assurance of their cultivation process to the point where patients can use the end product without inducing the psychoactive effect of adult-use marijuana. This is due to the large number of unsolicited proposals for cultivation licenses for medical marijuana received by the government.

Before legalization, a multi-sectoral team was selected to research the process of marijuana production from the farm to the lab, to the manufacturing plant, and finally to the end consumer who utilizes the products for medicinal purposes. Chilufya further said that the DEC and the Zambia police would be working together to punish people using marijuana illegally.

The Ministry of Health in Zambia would also be tasked with the responsibility of issuing licenses while the Zambia National Service would be strictly supervising the growth of marijuana crops.

The legislation legalizing marijuana production was passed on Wednesday during a cabinet meeting at State House. Several top officials at the Cabinet Office confirmed the passing of the bill, although they could not be identified since they were not allowed to speak to the media.

The unidentified officials further said that the Cabinet Memo seeking for marijuana legalization for medical purposes submitted by the Minister of Health, Dr. Chilufya, was approved by the Cabinet. Interestingly, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Commerce were all working together in an attempt to take over the process of issuing permits from the Health Ministry during the cabinet meeting. The Ministry of Health has been pushing for medical marijuana legalization for some time.

The reason why many Departments were interested in being assigned the responsibility of issuing the licenses is that the whole process was sponsored by wealthy organizations and companies that were initially promised permits, and after the final vote, the Health Ministry won.

Research conducted by The African Cannabis Report revealed that by the year 2023, the legal marijuana industry in Africa could be worth more than $7.1 billion annually. This is the first thorough report on the legal marijuana sector in Africa.

Despite the potential of African marijuana industries, apart from Lesotho, marijuana is prohibited in all the other African countries.

It looks like Zambia is paving the way for Africa to open up to the immense medicinal and economic potential of cannabis, and experts believe that this development is a welcome one to sector players like No Borders Inc. (OTC: NBDR) and IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) who may be quick to see the offshore opportunities opening up.

420 with CNW – Minnesota Expands Medical Cannabis Program

On Monday, the Health Department in Minnesota announced that come 2020, residents of the state suffering from chronic pain and age-related macular degeneration would be qualified to register for the medical marijuana program.

The Health Department also approved two delivery methods to give patients the option to choose from. The two systems include water-soluble cannabinoid multi-particles such as powders, granules, and sprinkles, and orally dissolvable products such as gums, mints, lozenges, buccal pills, and sublingual tablets.

Earlier this year, the lawmakers passed a law permitting the medical marijuana manufacturers for the program to double the number of marijuana treatment centers accessible by patients. The number of centers will be eight, making medical marijuana products more accessible to patients.

One of the medical marijuana manufacturers is Leafline Labs, and they suggested treatment centers to be set up at Willmar, Mankato, Golden Valley, and Rogers. Minnesota Medical Solution is the other manufacturing company, and it has proposed centers to be located at Woodbury, Blaine, Duluth, and Burnsville.

The Health Commissioner in Minnesota, Jan Malcolm, said that the increase in treatment centers and delivery methods would give patients more options, especially with the potential health impact of vaping.

In a statement, Malcolm further said that she is hopeful that with the new delivery methods, patients will have an alternative way of using medical marijuana, and the treatment centers will be easily accessible. The state’s program is a bit strict as it does not allow patients to access cannabis in leaf form or consume it through smoking. And before, patients could only access weed in the form of liquid gel, topical ointment, pills, and vape products.

Malcolm also said that the department added chronic pain to the list of qualifying conditions after reviewing the positive evidence where people have been using medical pot to treat intractable pain. She also noted that the age-related macular degeneration was added to the list after the agency found no other viable options for managing the symptoms.

The policy director for Sensible Change Minnesota, Maren Schroeder, said that doctors have been slow in certifying intractable pain since it carries a particular legal definition whereby it should be pain that cannot be cured but only managed, and other treatment options have failed to relieve the symptoms.

Patients identified to be suffering from chronic pain or age-related macular degeneration qualify to register with the medical marijuana program come July 1, 2020. They will be able to access medical marijuana treatment from manufacturers in the state on August 1.

The medical marijuana program in Minnesota started in 2014, when the state’s Department of Health approved only nine qualifying conditions.

In October 2019, approximately 18,000 patients were registered with the state’s medical marijuana program. The expansion of the program is seen by analysts as a move that will address some of the concerns of the entire industry, such as IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), since the expanded program allows more patients to benefit.

420 with CNW – Why Humidity Matters During Cannabis Cultivation

For centuries, wine merchants have been cognizant that sticking to every step of the winemaking process is crucial in ensuring the quality and value of the end product. So, they have to be cautious from cultivation and harvesting techniques to fermentation, aging, and packaging of the wine. This strict process of winemaking is now being adopted in the production of marijuana.

Professionals who have worked in the consumer-packaged-goods (CPG) sector for several decades have been interested in finding out how the quality and value of marijuana flower is affected by post-harvest storage and packaging. After conducting research, it was found that the most significant issues affecting quality and value are storage conditions and humidity levels, as well as the challenge of preventing mold.

Researching about what happens to marijuana once it is harvested is the Boveda research team, which previously studied humidity control in manufactured and CPG products. What prompted the research is the fact that there wasn’t much information on marijuana storage. The most surprising finding is the impact of evaporation on the quality and sale of weed.

The loss of moisture in marijuana affects the overall product.

Profitability is equated to the weight of the cannabis flower in the industry because the weightier the harvest, the higher the market value. The results of the research showed that if the storage environment’s optimal relative humidity (RH) drops by 5%, six-pounds are lost for every 1,000 pounds of cannabis buds. If the wholesale price of a gram of marijuana flower were $5, the loss in revenue would be $13,500. The established humidity levels by the ASTM International ranges from 55%-65%. ASTM is an independent industry standards organization.

For testing humidity levels, the Boveda research team purchased cannabis flowers from retail stores in multiple states, which showed that most of the strains sold today in the retail outlets are below the established relative humidity levels. This means that thousands of dollars in revenue is being lost despite the frequent changes in the wholesale price of the flower.

When we look at the history of marijuana flower, growers, processors, and packagers always insisted on storing the bud at a specific level of humidity ‘ceiling.’ This is because when the flower is stored at high moisture levels, it is prone to mold development or growth of microbes. That is why some people tend to dry the flower beyond the recommended levels.

Some people excessively dry the bud because they believe in the fallacy of rehydrating the cannabis flower; however, this method damages the trichomes, which in turn destroys the quality of the flower — trichomes house the plant’s resins, cannabinoids, and terpenes. Thus, when trichomes are damaged, the flower loses its aroma, taste, scent, and appeal, all of which are very important because it’s what customers look for when purchasing weed — preserving these elements when drying and packaging is therefore vital because rehydration cannot restore them.

Cannabis growers can use desiccants for absorbing moisture, mechanical equipment that alters relative humidity, or two-way moisture control sachets that are designed for packaging containers to control humidity.

If you are venturing into marijuana processing or cultivation, experts advise that you take the cue from established cannabis businesses like IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) which have mastered the delicate balance between keeping humidity high enough so that product weight remains optimum while also keeping it low enough to prevent mold and other such problems.

420 with CNW – What You Need to Know to Grow Marijuana in a Greenhouse

Growers considering to enter into marijuana production are presented with several possibilities of where to grow. The options include indoors, outdoors, or greenhouses, which is a combination of indoor and outdoor.

There is an increase in popularity for greenhouse farming among marijuana growers. The efficient means of production has forced many cultivators to switch to greenhouse farming of marijuana. Greenhouses offer farmers the ability to control and protect their crops. It is also cost-saving. Besides, it provides the plants with the natural light of growing outdoors.

Marijuana produces high quality and quantity yields if efficient and sophisticated systems of cultivation are in place. Farmers need to consider several factors when planning a commercial marijuana operation in a greenhouse. These include the structure, roofing, and the equipment, which are discussed below.

The Structure Of The Greenhouse

The structure of your greenhouse is the most critical decision you will have to make when choosing a greenhouse for marijuana production. The gutter-connected greenhouse is a versatile option suitable for any grower, especially marijuana growers. Gutter-connected greenhouses are well ventilated, and it can be connected to other standalone greenhouses. They are economical for growers because they are designed to make maximum use of the available farming space. The ability to combine several individual greenhouses makes it easy to integrate service buildings such as mixing areas for fertilization, conditioning, and packaging, as well as the offices and employee lounges.

Another famous greenhouse structure amongst cannabis growers is the ground-to-ground greenhouse. It does not require as much initial investment as the gutter-connected greenhouse. They have a gothic shape that ensures the crops are exposed to a bright environment, thus promoting the uniform growth of plants. They also have a well-ventilated system with a stable climate.

You will have to establish the number of growing zones and square footage you want before choosing your structure. The method you are using to plant your marijuana, such as on the ground, double benches will determine how tall your plants will grow. Your greenhouse structure should be high enough to accommodate your crops.

Your Greenhouse Roofing

When it comes to choosing the roof for your greenhouse, you are presented with several options such as ETFE film, acrylic, polyethylene film, or glass. Apart from the unique characteristics of each option, they all provide excellent conditions for the optimal growth of the crop and access to light and UV rays. Higher UV levels help in increasing the THC levels in your plants.

Equipment for the Greenhouse

Choosing the right material for your greenhouse is as essential as selecting the structure and roofing. When selecting equipment, go for a company that has a reputation for creating the ideal conditions for quality yields. When setting up your greenhouse for operations, you will need to have equipment for heating, cooling, supplemental lighting, irrigation, light deprivation, ventilation, and pest control.

It is essential to consult a seasoned professional if you want great products and services for your greenhouse operation. Industry experts believe that established cannabis companies like Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) and IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) can point interested growers in the right direction so that they avoid making costly mistakes.

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.
