2 New States Voted to Legalize Marijuana in the 2022 Elections.

Maryland and Missouri.

Alaska, Now Lighting Up

Adults 21 and over can light up in Alaska. In 2015, the northernmost US state made it legal for residents to use, possess, and transport up to an ounce of marijuana — roughly a sandwich bag full — for recreational use. The first pot shop opened for business in 2016.

Alaska has pounced on the opportunity to make its recreational-pot shops a destination for tourists. More than 2 million people visit Alaska annually and spend $2 billion.

Tuesday was a good day for stoners in Maryland and Missouri, as voters approved legalizing recreational marijuana in both places. The two states, which had already legalized medical use, join 19 other states (and D.C.) in making recreational use legal.

In Maryland, there’s a bit of a transitional period (which the Associated Press runs through here). Adult recreational marijuana use will not be legal officially until July 1, 2023, pending the General Assembly passing laws about how to appropriately distribute, regulate, and tax the plant. The Washington Post also notes that effective July 1, adults can grow up “up to two cannabis plants in their home, out of the public view.”

Past marijuana charges in Maryland will also be expunged, thanks to a companion bill passed in the spring that included both a provision to automatically expunge all cases in which possession was the sole charge. It will also allow individuals incarcerated for possession to petition for resentencing. At the time, many local politicians criticized the bill, emphasizing it would do little to nothing to prevent and reduce racial disparities and arrests in marijuana possession.

Bud was on the ballot in three other states. Voters in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Arkansas said no to the drug.

In other news, Coloradans voted on the decriminalization and regulation of psychedelic mushrooms. It’s still too close to call—with 80 percent of votes counted as of this writing, decriminalization leads 51-49 percent. Colorado would be the second state after Oregon to do so. One could say the state is leaning [looks up the color of magic mushrooms] brown?

Thank you for consideration.

Global Hemp Fiber Market Rising at an Annual Rate of 6.9% YEARS after its Legalization in 2019.

The demand for natural organic products over pharmaceuticals among customers across the globe acts as one of the major factors driving the growth of the hemp fiber market. The increase in demand for hemp fibers in various industries such as automotive, construction, food and beverage, personal care and textile, especially in emerging regions and the rise in the investment for the production of hemp-based products, is accelerating the growth in the hemp fiber market. We are just now beginning to realize the long time known for centuries along with the influence of ongoing scientific research that continually shows long term benefits of therapeutic use.

Global awareness, as it relates to the therapeutic properties of the product and the low prices of hemp, is encouraging farmers to diversify their crop options, which ultimately influences the hemp fiber market. Additionally, the increase in use for numerous food applications, the rise in the legalization in the cultivation of hemp, emerging consumer trends, the surge in the number of social media influencers, is promoting the benefits of the product, the prevalence of chronic diseases and mergers and acquisitions among key players, is positively affecting the hemp fiber market. Furthermore, research and development activities and product development are extending the profitable opportunities to the hemp fiber market players in the forecasted period from 2022 through 2028.

Global Hemp Fiber Market Rising at an Annual Rate of 6.9% Digital Journal’s recent article from Data Bridge Market Research, which claims that the global hemp fiber market is rising at an annual rate of approximately 6.9% in the forecasted period of 2022 to 2028.

Data Bridge Market Research is a multinational management consulting firm, with offices in India and Canada. The Company provides a variety of services such as market verified industry reports, technology trend analysis, formative market research, strategic consulting, vendor analysis, production and demand analysis and consumer impact studies.

Data Bridge Market Research notes that the rise in the awareness regarding the benefits of hemp is escalating the growth of the hemp fiber market. Hemp is utilized in the processing and manufacturing of various products such as paper, textile, insulation and construction material, personal care products, nutraceutical, bio-plastics and bio-fuel. Hemp is also used in food and beverage products, as it is primarily grown organically, with no use of toxic chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers or herbicides.

It is definitely an exciting time to be in the hemp market.

Thank you for consideration.

Renovation of the American Dream - Inspirational Technologies

What I have in one hand acts as an anti-inflammatory. 💊🔥 What I have in the other hand has many anti-inflammatory 🌿🔥properties. What I have in one hand is a drug. 💊 What I have in the other hand is a natural remedy.🌿

And I bet the vast majority of you have already guessed the drug in my hand. And if you guessed Ibuprofen?

Ding Ding we have a winner!

I was actually prescribed to take ibuprofen even after mostly recovered from my tendinitis around 6 weeks ago.

But considering I’m the type of person, who considers pharmaceutical drugs as a last resort, I opted out instead for the natural remedy instead.

Now don’t get me wrong, Ibuprofen is an effective drug that does exactly what its intended to do. And it definitely helps when you’re looking for a quick relief from pain. But of course like any pharmaceutical drug it comes with its own list of possible side effects such as but not limited to:

Heartburn🔥❤️ Nausea🤢 Vomiting🤮 Gas😨 Constipation😫 Diarrhea😬 Leaky gut/stomach ulcers👎👎 Most of these side effects can be avoided by taking it with food. But the consequences of either taking too much or too often can be much worse. I spoke with a person at my doctors , who said because of a bleeding disorder , they could not take blood thinner medication s. What can People Do?

Which is why I opted out for the more natural remedy of

full-spectrum 🌿CBD oil🌿 for my own personal rehabilitation.

It’s been doing the job for me without the possible risk of any unfavorable side effects. (Of course , consult you General Practitioner .)

I’ve always been a huge advocate for the more natural side of medicine as I never wanted to rely on over the counter drugs to treat any ailment I had.

So if you happen to rely fairly often on over the counter drugs to help with pain, perhaps it might be a good time to give the alternative a try! 😁

Thank you for consideration.

Will the Cannabis Industry Ever GET HIGHER OPPORTUNITY?

There is a perception that licensed legal cannabis businesses are essentially printing money.

Year after year, mainstream news articles tout the exponential growth of the industry, the record-breaking sales figures each 4/20 and the increasing number of states enacting or considering legalization.

However, these reports exclude how increasing competition, festering federal uncertainty, a prospering illicit market and crippling taxes and regulations chip away at profits.

In fact, due to 280E, a typical multi-state operator is paying an effective tax rate of more than 60% each year, while Amazon’s effective federal income tax rate was 6.1% in 2021.

2022 Will Be a Regulators Recognition Day to the Majority

Although the cannabis space is still growing and will only increase in size, the sad truth is a reckoning is coming.

The realities of the macroeconomic conditions impacting every other industry cannot be avoided and are an increasing drag on an already overburdened industry.

Rising inflation rates and concerns over political uncertainty are taking a toll.

And the cannabis industry has its own unique problems that keep real progress at bay:

A high taxation rate pushes many consumers away from the regulated market and to illicit dealers where products aren’t guaranteed to be tested and safe.

3rd Party Certificates Of Analysis (COA) determine what is in the sample tested. Look for the Good and the Bad. *Pesticides, Heavy Metal or Added Toxins

Falling wholesale prices and increased competition force discounting that flatten margins.

The lack of federal legislative action on banking issues continues to weigh the industry down. Forces are combining to create the industry’s first sustained downturn, which is already underway.

There have been layoffs at high-profile cannabis tech companies. Shares of some publicly-traded cannabis companies have plunged more than 70% since February 2021.

Sales are off from projected levels. And merger and acquisition activity will continue to force rightsizing.

Price wars drive down revenue; social equity efforts stall Development of industrial agricultural processes in cannabis has led to commodification of the crop, pushing wholesale prices down by 18% year-over-year.

In the meantime, increased competition is leading some less sophisticated cannabis retailers and brands to dramatically discount products, relinquishing millions in bottom-line revenue in the process.

While price compression was expected, it arrived sooner and has been more formidable than anticipated.

And there’s little chance price compression will reverse on a commodity crop.

As states expand their markets by adding licenses for more dispensaries and producers in an effort to maximize tax revenue, the problem is exacerbated.

More outlets equal more taxes but also increased competition which has ignited a race to the bottom in discounting.

Progressive state laws embolden the illicit market.

The cannabis industry and many recent states legalizing adult-use cannabis have made it clear that cannabis policy is also a social equity issue.

But the progress of awarding licenses to social equity applicants is stymied by the industry’s ongoing lack of financing options.

It is laudable to award 50% of adult-use cannabis licenses to social and economic equity applicants as New York requires.

However, if these businesses cannot access necessary capital to stand up an operation, they will never succeed.

Until the industry’s longstanding banking problems are resolved at the federal level, social equity efforts are bound to fail.

Federal Policy: Dead on Arrival

Like everyone else, I was hopeful 2020’s ‘Blue Wave’ was going to be beneficial for the cannabis industry. But we were all bamboozled by politicians who lied to get the job and have not followed through on their empty promises.

Even despite the watershed moment of Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer placing the full backing of his office behind cannabis legalization, midterm-election-year politics doom any real federal legislative progress this year.

As congressional minutiae around state protections and safe banking for cannabis continues, we are watching the slow-motion decimation of a powerful job-creating industry, hamstrung due to ineffective leadership that is over-regulating and overtaxing on a state level and completely disregarding and obstructing on a federal level.

President Biden ran on his support of the cannabis industry, yet continues himself to manufacture roadblocks against legalization while the country experiences an eye-popping 25% increase in federal cannabis arrests under the Biden regime.

Senator Schumer has been completely ineffective introducing legislation that overreaches and is DOA by the time it hits the floor.

While cannabis receives 92% approval at some level from bipartisan constituents, these voters’ representatives continue to work to override the will of the people.

The time to receive clear and defined guidance on banking issues from the federal government is now.

Our federal representatives must level the playing field for the cannabis industry and allow the same participation in corporate banking and taxes granted to every other regulated industry, from pharmaceuticals to the alcohol industry.

All is not lost:

What’s going right Despite the industry’s current ongoing challenges, growing pains should be considered as the natural lifecycle of a nascent industry certain to experience continued long-term growth.

Although layoffs are personally painful, eliminating redundancies and reducing costs are beneficial to a company’s health and necessary for rightsizing an organization for the long haul.

Rightsizing an organization demonstrates responsibility and accountability from senior leadership in an industry that often sees more ego-driven, inexperienced decisions.

Bottom-line: duplication and wasteful spending are just as bad in a good economy as one under pressure.

Smart reductions re-set the table for stability and long-term growth. Then it’s go-time for material progress, otherwise perhaps we need to see some change at the top.

In the end, long-term growth is the ultimate goal, particularly for an industry that is still in its infancy.

And the prospects for long-term growth are overwhelmingly positive.

In January, U.S. employment in the cannabis industry stood at nearly 429,000 full-time jobs and growing.

Even as the country went through the second year of the pandemic, the sector saw a 33% increase in new careers, creating more than 107,000 jobs thus far in 2022.

That’s about 280 new jobs per day. Of course, there will be tough decisions to be made in the near term. But industry job growth is expected to continue, especially as new markets come online.

In essence, the cannabis industry is not immune to the current economic instability impacting every other facet of the economy. But combined with the industry’s other unique challenges, this turmoil provides an opportunity to course-correct for the next stage of growth and the eventual reform at the federal level.

As cannabis industry leadership steps up to make the tough decisions, we can only hope – and demand – those political leaders do the same.

‍

1 – Change is coming in the world of banking.

A lack of access to banking is not new news for the cannabis industry, which faces significant roadblocks in operation. But there are two potential beacons of hope for cannabis companies — the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act and changes to the IRS Code 280E.
‍

The SAFE Banking Act sets out to protect access to banking by members of the cannabis industry. It was passed in the House in 2019 but died in Committee. Since then there has been ongoing debate but its passage has been hindered by Republicans in the Senate. It was passed again in the House earlier in 2021 and is back at Committee stage.
‍

There are also ongoing discussions about changes to IRS Code 280E. This specific section of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits the deduction of several business expenses on federal taxes for businesses presently engaged in trading controlled substances, like cannabis.
‍

While these two pieces of proposed legislation are still being debated, there are signs that momentum is building for change, and we predict that big things are coming soon.

‍

2 – 2022 cannabis trends show that federal legalization is closer than ever.

It’s no secret that the legalization and decriminalization of cannabis are trending favorably. Even before the Presidential election of 2020, members of Congress had introduced several bills aimed at loosening federal restrictions or decriminalizing cannabis.

‍

MORE Act

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, which would have decriminalized cannabis and expunged criminal records for nonviolent cannabis offenses.

‍

STATES Act

The Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States (STATES) Act would have prohibited federal enforcement actions against cannabis conduct that is otherwise compliant with state law.

‍

The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act

The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act only complicated the legalization landscape even more in 2021. This comprehensive bill would significantly change how cannabis is regulated by the federal government, enable interstate commerce in cannabis, and decriminalize cannabis.
‍

As with the banking situation, there is no clear and direct path to any of these bills becoming law. Regardless, it’s clear that Congress continues to push forward in favor of the cannabis industry.
‍

Surprisingly, it’s not just the Democrats in Congress making moves. U.S. Republican Nancy Mace from South Carolina just introduced a new bill to decriminalize cannabis, promoting each state’s individual preference for treating cannabis. Again, while this bill is still some distance away from becoming law, this new and refreshing energy from a Republican in a red state could help thrust the ongoing debate forward.

‍

3 – Integrated technology in cannabis is ever-evolving.

The cannabis industry is no stranger to integrated technology. To help evolve and refine the cannabis experience, we’re expecting a growth in the number of cannabis products and consumption tools that harness data and new technology emerging in the upcoming year.

From vapes that developers can routinely update to QR codes on product packaging, cannabis tech will continue to get more intelligent and innovative, on a par with all other smart household devices.

Cannabis is quickly embracing the Internet of Things, which will prove to be a benefit to producers and consumers alike. With the data this technology provides, marketers will begin to gain insight into what effects people are experiencing and how they are enjoying their cannabis.

Take, for example, the latest technology for being able to test potency from the comfort of your own home. How potent is your cannabutter? Are you tired of guessing when it comes to dosing? The Check Potency Testing Thank you for consideration.

Now, for both THC and CBD, always check their COAs!

4 – Say hello to consumption lounges.

One of 2022’s cannabis trends we’re most excited to see is the rise in the number of consumption lounges and, as a direct result, the growing profile of cannabis in the tourism sector.
‍
Because of the legality concerns of using cannabis in many states across the country, consumers have mostly been forced to indulge in private. But, as the market continues maturing and decriminalization gathers steam, consumers will begin pushing for more elevated experiences.
‍
The solution to providing an elevated cannabis experience will be the introduction of consumption lounges.
‍
Nevada has passed legislation allowing adults to eat or smoke cannabis in consumption lounges and in doing so has become the eighth state to legalize pot lounges. In mid-2022, we can expect to see the first Vegas consumption lounges opening.

While consumption lounges are mostly rarities and tend to be slow to open, they will set the stage for breaking down some of the boundaries the industry faces today. Consumption lounges will be sure to help with boosting cannabis sales, de-stigmatizing the plant, and potentially supporting social equity.

Consumption lounges will create another venue for industry leaders to connect directly with their customers. In addition, they will open up endless possibilities for experiential marketing. As consumers return to public life with the ever-present craving for novelty, this segment is primed to become even bigger post-pandemic.

As cannabis tourism continues to trend favorably, we can only anticipate seeing more growth in this area, including things like cultivation classes, cannabis-spa packages, dispensary and farm tours, and even cannabis hotels and restaurants.

5 – There will be new cannabis products to look out for.

With a new year comes the emergence of new product offerings. The cannabis flower will continue its reign as king in most markets. Again, touching on the post-pandemic market filled with consumers looking to socialize in large groups once again, we’ll see the rise of new cannabis products that accommodate this lifestyle.

‍

We expect to see canna-beverages exploding in the next year. Innovative technologies in the cannabis industry continue to improve emulsion techniques and nanotechnology. At the same time, more and more Americans are seeking out non-alcoholic alternatives. It’s the perfect time for something like canna-beverages to enter the market, filling that void as a lower-calorie, non-hangover-inducing option.

‍

6 – Celebrities setting the trends in investing.

A growing number of sports stars, musicians, and actors, including some of Hollywood’s biggest names, are trying their hand at investing in the cannabis industry. As cannabis continues to trend in the mainstream, many famous folks are hopping into the business. Here are just a few noteworthy celebs and their brands:

Snoop Dogg’s Leafs By Snoop

Martha Stewart’s Martha Stewart CBD

7 – Cannabis technology will make growing accessible to anyone with the time and patience’

One of the primary benefits of hydroponics is that it eliminates the guesswork from crop maintenance.

8 – Cannabinoids and psychedelics will begin to diversify.

Not surprisingly, THC and CBD will remain on top of everyone’s list, but some of the 100-plus lesser-known cannabinoids are going to start to become more and more popular.

Be on the lookout in the upcoming year for some of these less common cannabinoids:
‍

Cannabigerol (CBG)

Cannabinol (CBN)

Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP)

Tetrahydrocannabinol-O-acetate (THC-O)

Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

‍

These compounds, that can be used to achieve new highs and treat various conditions, will be continuously studied to determine their specific benefits.
‍

In the world of psychedelics, cannabis is also moving mountains in terms of paving the way for the legalization of psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelics. Using cannabis’ path as a guide, many have already started exploring the therapeutic potential of these plants, and grassroots organizers are pushing for decriminalization and legalization.

‍

9 – Things will heat up in the kitchen with more cannabis cooking.

Cannabis is booming —so much so that this period we’re currently in is referred to as the Green Rush. Everyone is getting on board with cannabis, which is why we’re not too surprised to see it in the heart of the home, the kitchen.
‍

It’s incredible to see how far it’s already come. Even the notable Food & Wine released an article this year titled The Food & Wine Guide to Culinary Cannabis, with everything including the basics, how to make your own cannabutter, and some drool-worthy recipes.
‍
Don’t just take our word for it. Check out some of our top picks:

Cannabis-Infused Brioche French Toast

Cannabis-Infused Pasta with Clams and Green Chiles

Cannabis-Infused Citrus-Caramel Blondies

10 – Investment opportunities will be on the rise.

Investors are growing more confident as the cannabis industry continues moving towards federal legalization. These investors will continue to use the same tactics they have in the past for more traditional businesses but instead pour their money into cannabis brands. 2022 cannabis trends suggest that the funding drought will be over for many.
‍

Cannabis marketing departments will be messaging not only B2B or B2C but also digging deeper into market segments and B2I. We’ll be watching cannabis founders become experts at raising capital in both maturing and newly approved markets, with more Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC) and venture capital funds getting involved in the cannabis space.

‍

11 – Global growth of cannabis will bring broader branding and marketing efforts.

The largest and oldest trade show in the cannabis sector is MJBizCon. At this year’s conference, we are likely to see an increase in global growth with contributing countries beyond the United States, including Paraguay, Germany, and Argentina.
‍

We are expecting to see the largest national companies in the United States start gearing up for importing and exporting. With it will come a better positioning in a future global market for cannabis.
‍

Comply Bag Technology

This growth will open up an international approach to cannabis branding and marketing and show us what it might look like as more cannabrands reach a global scale and achieve international recognition.

‍

12 – Cannabis and wellness will become synonymous.

Cannabis isn’t the only industry that’s booming right now. With it is the wellness market, which is currently measured in the trillions of dollars. Cannabis brands are leveraging their messaging to be more wellness-centric, promoting things like personal optimization to reach new prospective consumers.
Companies can use that familiar shorthand to introduce their products and tout their benefits because consumers are fairly well versed with the language and ethos of the supplement industry. We’ll see more cannabrands educating customers that are curious about cannabis products in the upcoming year. A prime example is how they can incorporate products like concentrates or tinctures into their self-improvement, wellness, and workout routines.

Final thoughts.

So, there you have it. Thank you for the Internet’s top 12 predictions for the cannabis industry in 2022 show that there are exciting things ahead..

2022

cannabis trends are favorable as we move towards federal legalization and, with it, uncharted territories.

Thank you for consideration.

“Happy National CBD Day!” to all those who are inspired! from “Inspirational Technologies” 8/8/2023

August 8, 2022 Inspirational Technologies 1stHempUSA

The Story of Why There is a National CBD Day

National CBD day is a relatively new holiday. It is perhaps inevitable that advocates of the cannabinoid would look to celebrate it. After all, there are many other days throughout the year associated with cannabis.

These include April 20 (the famous 420 Day) and National Cannabis Oil Day, which falls on July 10. It is also called 710 Day.

It seems that 4-20 4:20 4/20 (MJ) and the Storyline behind it’s origin are all in everyday 420 News “High” lights.

On the the other side of our cannabis culture , did you know that the popular Marijuana’s’ co-species counterpart, Cannabinol or “CBD” has itself a National CBD (Hemp) Day?

August 8th. 8/8

Hemp or Cannabidiol, Has A Happy CBD (Hemp) Day

SO – Let’s Get “Flower Power Education” Today

Happy 420 and Happy CBD DAY!

Just how did there become a National CBD Day?

Well, a North Carolina CBD company CbdMD

achieved that in 2018.

In fact, the company also successfully lobbied for a National Hemp Day, which just saw its inaugural celebration on February 4.

CbdMD president Caryn Dunayer says both efforts were inspired by the lack of marketing and advertising available to hemp and CBD companies, which can be ostracized by media platforms and regulators because of their association with marijuana.

“We’ve tried to be strategic and creative in the marketing side,” Dunayer says. “In the cannabis industry, it’s extremely challenging to find traditional marketing. We can’t do SEO [search engine optimization] and social media, so we’ve kind of taken a guerrilla marketing approach. It started with that approach, and then the whole methodology after was trying to get attention to the education side.”

If it’s on a hot dog, then it’s American.

The CBD industry seems to agree with the marketing-before-education approach, with a mountain of deals and promotions offered today,

August 8, in honor of National CBD Day.

However, CBD’s legal status with the federal government isn’t solidified yet, and hemp was just legalized federally in late 2018.

The United States Food and Drug Administration still keeps CBD derived from hemp in a gray area, but considers ingestible products containing CBD illegal, including edibles, drinks and vaporizers.

CBD products face heavy scrutiny outside of states like Colorado, which have legalized recreational marijuana and hemp-infused foods, but that hasn’t stopped companies from making and marketing them, and those companies generally remain out of trouble as long as they don’t make any unsubstantiated health claims about the products. “We try to be as conservative as possible with claims and testimonials, and let real stories talk for themselves,”

Dunayer says. “We saw the value in how much creating a day like this could help the industry. And on the marketing side, selfishly, we can take a little credit.”

For Anderson and his organization, most of the criteria for adding a day comes from society’s acceptance, though he insists that the National Day Calendar committee did its due diligence when considering CBD’s medical efficacy and the reputation of the petitioner, CbdMD.

His organization has only created 200 days during its six and a half years, he says, so it didn’t take adding CBD or hemp lightly.

“There are about 20,000 applications for new days every year. Then there’s a committee of four people who review them, and that needs unanimous approval. Socially, it’s all becoming more accepted, even THC.

But CBD has additional purposes, so it was more about bringing about the awareness,” Anderson says, adding that he looked into National CBD Day’s application himself.

“They do tend to end up where the money leads, but it’s not always that way. Some of them are for the good for the world.

With that said, if you’re going to celebrate a national day about something, then celebrate with it.” Along with celebratory product promotion, Dunayer says that CbdMD will post educational content on its website and social media as part of its National CBD Day campaign.

Colorado companies are doing much of the same. In fact, they already view other national days as opportunities for connecting with customers. “We’re always looking for ways to amplify the message and reach different people to expand the education of CBD,” says Stratos CBD branding executive Kate Heckman.

Stratos has also looked at National Grandparents Day and National Massage Therapy Awareness Week to further promote the brand, she notes, suggesting that other companies in the CBD space should do the same.

“It’s sort of an American thing to commercialize it, but it’s also a reason to educate,” she concludes

August 8th – Happy CBD Day 2022

Welcome to Inspirational Technologies 2022.

Hi, My name is Steven Smith

Steven M Smith –

owner “Inspirational Technologies“

It has been 2+ years since my initial run in with the topic of CBD, and with that, IT, became a pursuit.

My wife, Janet, and I were en route from Florida (January 2020) to California for a planned 2 months stay. We were to attend a funeral and visit relatives. Then drive the west coast. What began as a call to me became a call to help, both for my wife and forothers:

After that 2 months visit, ours lives are now and forever changing daily.

See Our Story on this link.

Thank you for consideration.
