A recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center reveals that an overwhelming majority of Americans, nine out of ten, support the legalization of cannabis for either medical or recreational purposes. Further, most respondents believe that legalizing cannabis enhances local economic growth and promotes fairness within the justice system.

Released on March 26, 2024, the report indicates that 88% of Americans endorse some form of legalization, with 57% advocating for both medical and recreational use accessibility. Only a small fraction, 11%, opposes marijuana legalization entirely. The survey identified consistent patterns among various demographics. Democrats showed higher support for complete legalization (72%) compared to Republicans (42%). However, the vast majority of both parties, 94% and 82% of Democrats and Republicans, respectively, support legalization for medical use at least.

The poll highlighted ideological differences within parties, noting that liberal and moderate-leaning Republicans are more likely to support full legalization (57%) compared to conservative Republicans (34%). Respondents were also asked about their opinions on the societal effects of legalizing cannabis for recreational use. A majority, 52%, believe that legalization benefits local economies, while 42% think it leads to a fairer justice system.

Divergent opinions emerged on how legalization would affect drug use and public safety. While 27% believe cannabis legalization decreases the use of other drugs, including fentanyl and heroin, 29% think it increases their use. Similarly, 34% believe that legalization makes communities less safe, while 21% argue it improves safety.

The poll highlights partisan and age differences, noting that older adults are less likely to support legalization compared to younger adults. For instance, only 31% of adults aged 75 and older support legalization for both recreational and medical use, compared to 50% of adults aged 65 to 74.

This survey is part of a series showing growing support for ending cannabis prohibition. A Gallup poll conducted last year found record-high national support for legalization, with seven out of ten Americans backing it. Moreover, a recent survey revealed strong bipartisan support for congressional legislation protecting states’ rights to set their own cannabis laws.

According to a different Pew study published last month, eight out of ten Americans live in counties with one or more cannabis dispensaries. The data also showed a large number of cross-border purchases from jurisdictions where cannabis was still illegal, with outlets frequently clustered along the borders of states with stronger marijuana regulations.

Paul Armentano, NORML deputy director, commented on the recent findings, stating that public support for legalization has surged as more states adopt it. Armentano noted that voters prefer regulation and legalization over the failed prohibition policy.

For cannabis companies such as Software Effective Solutions Corp. (d/b/a MedCana) (OTC: SFWJ), federal policy reforms that recognize the marijuana industry as a legitimate form of business at the federal level would address many of the hurdles that these entities face in their bid to serve the growing consumer base across the country.

• MedCana adds to portfolio with strategic acquisition of two cannabis companies
• First acquisition represents “leap forward” in SFWJ’s commitment to innovation, excellence within the cannabis sector
• Second company holds key production, processing and exportation licenses that will strengthen MedCana’s operational chain

Software Effective Solutions (d/b/a MedCana) (OTC: SFWJ) is growing its footprint in the cannabis space through savvy acquisitions. In the past few months, MedCana, a leading holding company in the cannabis industry, has announced two new acquisitions as the company keeps its eye on making strategic additions to its portfolio.

Last month, the company announced that it was in the final stages of negotiations to acquire its sixth cannabis company in Colombia (https://cnw.fm/iPY1a). This strategic acquisition is extremely significant because the targeted company holds a unique cannabis genetics license, which MedCana believes will revolutionize its potential to create and register unique cannabis genetic varieties for production and commercialization.

“The addition of this new company to MedCana’s portfolio represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to innovation and excellence within the cannabis sector,” said MedCana CEO Jose Gabriel Diaz. “By integrating this company’s cutting-edge genetics capabilities, MedCana will be poised to develop proprietary cannabis strains, enhancing the diversity and quality of our product offerings to meet the evolving needs of consumers and medical patients alike.”

Earlier in March, MedCana completed the previously announced acquisition plus the acquisition of a second company, bringing the number of companies in MedCana’s portfolio to nine (https://cnw.fm/P9n9N). The second company holds key production, processing and exportation licenses that will strengthen MedCana’s operational chain, supporting a seamless integration of supply from cultivation through to global distribution and ensuring the company’s position as a fully self-sufficient entity in the cannabis market.

“These acquisitions represent a monumental step towards our vision of becoming a world-leading integrated cannabis company,” said Diaz. “With seven cannabis-producing companies, one agriculture technology and infrastructure company, and one software company under our belt, MedCana is exceptionally positioned to innovate, produce and deliver high-quality cannabis products globally.”

MedCana is committed to developing clients and companies in Latin America, initially in Colombia, and partnerships with laboratories, research facilities and hospitals throughout the world. These recent acquisitions reflect the company’s focus on scientific advancements and sustainable practices as it works to achieve the broader goal of leading the cannabis industry through strategic growth and pioneering research. The company is excited about the future prospects these new assets bring to its operations and the vast opportunities for innovation they unlock.

Software Effective Solutions/MedCana is a holding company focused on developing companies in the agricultural technology and cannabis industries. As MedCana moves forward with its expansion plans, the company remains committed to delivering on its promise of building a solid foundation for future growth of its holdings.

• Research forecasts global medical marijuana space will see CAGR of 22.32% over the next decade
• Several key factors contribute to double-digit growth
• MedCana has assembled a team of pharmaceutical scientists who are some of the world’s most respected chemists

Recent forecasts for the global medical marijuana sector indicate significant growth, a trend that Software Effective Solutions (d/b/a MedCana) (OTC: SFWJ) is paying close attention to. A global infrastructure and holding company in the cannabis industry, MedCana is on a mission to become the world’s premier resource for pharmaceutical cannabis products.

The recent ResarchAndMarket.com article reported that the global medical marijuana market size was estimated to be $16.88 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach at $154.83 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 22.32% during the 2024–2034 forecast period (https://cnw.fm/ON1OY). “Growing awareness regarding various therapeutic applications of the marijuana, a surge in permitting the usage of medical marijuana, increasing adoption of cannabis in therapeutic applications, rising research and development activities, growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and increase in acquisition of market players for the manufacturing of advanced medical products are some of the key factors boosting the market growth,” the article stated.

“The North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period, owing to the surge in cannabis legalization and increasing product launches by major market players,” the article continued. “Increased launch of advanced medical products is predicted to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Medical marijuana, also known as medical cannabis, is a marijuana plant extract utilized to alleviate symptoms, illnesses, and various health conditions. Numerous North American states have relaxed laws regarding cannabis use, both for medical and recreational purposes.”

The article also noted that many other countries worldwide are following North America’s lead by legalizing cannabis. “The increasing trend of cannabis decriminalization is expected to significantly boost the development and launch of medical marijuana,” the report concluded.

With this backdrop of growing awareness and acceptance of medical cannabis, MedCana is well positioned to become an industry leader. The company has assembled a team of pharmaceutical scientists that are some of the most respected chemists in the world (https://cnw.fm/tPBhw). These experts work closely with MedCana partners and customers to create premium pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts that will meet the growing worldwide demand for high-quality products.

MedCana has established five companies focused on pharmaceutical cannabis production, as well as a software company focused on managing processes for plant-to-patient operations. In addition, the company recently rounded out its portfolio of holdings with the acquisition of an irrigation and greenhouse technology company.

The company’s focus is on developing clients and companies in Latin America, initially in Colombia, and partnerships with laboratories, research facilities and hospitals throughout the world. MedCana is building the technology, laboratories, growing facilities and scientific teams to provide premium pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts globally.

Software Effective Solutions (OTC: SFWJ) is among companies in the cannabis space paying close attention to the mounting calls for the rescheduling of cannabis to a Schedule III from a Schedule I substance per the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). “The call for cannabis rescheduling on the CSA list is not new, but it has gained momentum since the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (‘HHS’) sent a brief letter to the head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration… ‘HHS is believed to have advised DEA to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), and the law enforcement agency is now carrying out its own review before making a final determination,’” reads a recent article, which contains excerpts from an report in Marijuana Moment. “A change in the rescheduling would almost certainly benefit Software Effective Solutions, a global infrastructure and holding company in the cannabis industry. Operating as MedCana, the company currently has five divisions focused on pharmaceutical cannabis production, as well as a software company focused on managing processes for plant-to-patient operations. The recent acquisition of an irrigation and greenhouse technology company has rounded out MedCana’s portfolio of holdings… The company is committed to building technology, laboratories, growing facilities, and scientific teams needed to provide pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts to the world.”

• A recent study shows that medical cannabis treatment may be associated with improvements in health-related quality of life
• Study data indicated that chronic noncancer pain was the most common indication for treatment, followed by cancer pain, insomnia and anxiety
• MedCana is building the technology, laboratories, growing facilities and scientific teams needed to provide premium pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts to the world

Cannabis, long shrouded in controversy, is stepping into the limelight of scientific inquiry, revealing a complex tapestry of potential benefits. Software Effective Solutions (d/b/a MedCana) (OTC: SFWJ), a global infrastructure and holding company in the cannabis industry, is paying close attention to growing data showing the power of the natural substance.

One recent study, conducted by postdoctoral research fellow Thomas Arkell, a PhD at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, suggests that medical cannabis treatment may be associated with improvements in health-related quality of life among patients with a range of health conditions (https://cnw.fm/3kvjz). The results of the study were published earlier this year by JAMA Network Open.

“The use of cannabis as a medicine is becoming increasingly prevalent,” the report stated. “Given the diverse range of conditions being treated with medical cannabis, as well as the vast array of products and dose forms available, clinical evidence incorporating patient-reported outcomes may help determine safety and efficacy.” According to the report, this case series study was conducted at a network of specialist medical clinics and included patients who received treatment for any indication between December 2018 and May 2022.

Results of the study, which included 3,148 patients, were noteworthy. Study data indicated that chronic noncancer pain was the most common indication for treatment, followed by cancer pain, insomnia and anxiety. “After commencing treatment with medical cannabis, patients reported significant improvements relative to baseline on all eight domains of the SF-36 (the 36-item short form health survey questionnaire), and these improvements were mostly sustained over time,” JAMA reported. After controlling for potential confounders in a regression model, treatment with medical cannabis indicated marked improvement.

This is just one of innumerable studies focused on cannabis. Recently, NORML, a nonprofit organization that represents the interests of the tens of millions of Americans who use marijuana responsibly, reported that there are more than 36,000 peer-reviewed papers in the scientific literature referencing the cannabis plant and its cannabinoids, according to a keyword search on the search engine PubMed Central, the U.S. government repository for peer-reviewed scientific research (https://cnw.fm/R8w0G).

“In recent years, this volume of research has grown exponentially, with more than 20,000 papers published just in the past decade,” the report noted. “Much of this more recent research has been dedicated to exploring and verifying cannabis’ therapeutic activities in various patient populations – including in FDA-approved gold-standard clinical trials. A summary of this clinical trial data concluded: ‘Evidence is accumulating that cannabinoids may be useful medicine for certain indications. . . . The classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug as well as the continuing controversy as to whether or not cannabis is of medical value are obstacles to medical progress in this area. Based on evidence currently available, the Schedule I classification is not tenable; it is not accurate that cannabis has no medical value, or that information on safety is lacking.’”

This is positive news for MedCana, which has five companies focused on pharmaceutical cannabis production, as well a software company focused on managing processes for plant-to-patient operations. In addition, the company recently rounded out its portfolio of holdings with the acquisition of an irrigation and greenhouse technology company.

MedCana’s focus is on developing clients and companies in Latin America, initially in Colombia, and partnerships with laboratories, research facilities and hospitals throughout the world. MedCana is building the technology, laboratories, growing facilities and scientific teams needed to provide premium pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts to the world.

• A coalition of military veterans’ organizations is joining a growing number of entities encouraging the U.S. DEA to reschedule cannabis
• The call to reschedule cannabis has gained momentum since the U.S. HHS sent a letter to the DEA supporting the change
• Operating as MedCana, Software Effective Solutions has five divisions focused on pharmaceutical cannabis production

A growing number of organizations are calling for the rescheduling of cannabis from a Schedule I substance per the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”) to a Schedule III substance. The most recent group to voice is support of the change is a coalition of military veterans (https://cnw.fm/rbI0F). Companies operating in the cannabis space, including Software Effective Solutions (d/b/a MedCana) (OTC: SFWJ), are paying close attention to the mounting demand because the rescheduling would significantly change the landscape.

“A coalition of military veterans’ organizations is pushing President Joe Biden to ensure that the ongoing administrative review into marijuana’s scheduling status is completed in a ‘timely manner’ and also take steps to ‘counter’ misinformation while pursuing broader reform,” reported a recent Marijuana Moment article. “In a letter sent to the president last week, multiple veterans-focused groups expressed appreciation for his directive initiating the marijuana review last year, which led the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (‘HHS’) to recommend that cannabis be moved from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.”

The article quoted a letter from the group noting that “this process represents a significant opportunity for our nation to lead with science over fear, and begin righting the wrongs of prohibition. . . . The actions taken by your administration and HHS have been historic, and lay the groundwork for the significant work ahead, including the need to ensure that the Drug Enforcement Administration (‘DEA’) expeditiously accepts the scientific and medically founded recommendation.”

The call for cannabis rescheduling on the CSA list is not new, but it has gained momentum since the U.S. HHS sent a brief letter to the head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. “The letter, obtained via Freedom of Information Act (‘FOIA’) request by Law360 reporter Sam Reisman, confirmed certain previously reported details such as the date of the correspondence, August 29, [2023,] and the author, HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine,” reported Marijuana Moment (https://cnw.fm/GSapR).

“But it was redacted to exclude the substance of the message such as the scheduling recommendation itself, as well as the scientific review portion that was attached to the letter,” the article continued. However, “HHS is believed to have advised DEA to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (‘CSA’), and the law enforcement agency is now carrying out its own review before making a final determination.”

A change in the rescheduling would almost certainly benefit Software Effective Solutions, a global infrastructure and holding company in the cannabis industry. Operating as MedCana, the company currently has five divisions focused on pharmaceutical cannabis production, as well a software company focused on managing processes for plant-to-patient operations. The recent acquisition of an irrigation and greenhouse technology company has rounded out MedCana’s portfolio of holdings.

MedCana’s focus is on developing clients and companies in Latin America, initially in Colombia, and partnerships with laboratories, research facilities and hospitals throughout the world. The company is committed to building the technology, laboratories, growing facilities and scientific teams needed to provide premium pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts to the world.
