Cannabis Banking Bill is Included in the NDAA

Cannabis Banking Bill is Included in the NDAA

If there’s one thing that can get marijuana hopes moving, it’s the realization of hope of legalization or some sort of reform in the industry. Unfortunately, up until now, that’s all there has been — hope. But with a Democratic-controlled Senate and House, plus a president who is in favor of decriminalization, there’s reason to be optimistic that change could be coming sooner rather than later.

And that change could come in the form of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill has passed for 60 years in a row, and heading into the final month of the year, it’s a significant piece of legislation that is still outstanding that will likely be a key priority for lawmakers this month. It also includes a cannabis bill.

The cannabis banking bill is included in the NDAA

In September, the NDAA passed the House, and included in the bill was the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the SAFE bill has now passed the House five times but has failed to progress any further.

The NDAA is often referred to as being “must-pass” legislation and so the big question may not be if it passes but if in its final version, whether the SAFE Banking Act is still in there. If it is, that would be a huge win for Cannabis!

Why does SAFE Banking matter?

The SAFE Banking Act won’t legalize marijuana, nor would it even decriminalize it. But what it will do is make it easier for banks to work with the cannabis industry. Although it’s not impossible for cannabis companies to obtain bank accounts, it’s definitely not easy.

Happy Sativa Saturday, Indica, and Ruderalis HEMP? – Just What is Up?

As you dive deeper into the hemp world, you may encounter terms like cannabis strains, sativa, indica, or hybrid.

There’s a lot to know about this powerful plant, and we’re here to help educate you about the ins and outs of indica vs. sativa so you can make informed decisions about what you’re consuming on your wellness journey. The reason the different strains matter is because the indica vs. sativa effects vary due to the chemical makeup of those strains. We’ll go deeper into these differences in the section below. Are you curious about which strains are right for you? Continue reading to learn more. Some of the things we’ll touch on in this article are: Indica vs. sativa: What are they?

Indica effects Sativa effects What is cannabis ruderalis? Common Indica vs Sativa strains Choosing between Indica vs Sativa edibles. When most people think of indica vs. sativa, they think indica equals couch potato and sativa means energy. This isn’t always the case, especially as everyone’s body chemistry is different. Some indicas may be uplifting for some while some sativa strains may cause anxiety. There’s no “right way” to consume the different stains. It’s all about understanding the differences between the indica vs. sativa leaf so your approach to the plant is more well-rounded. You may be surprised to know that those terms don’t actually determine the effects, and are rooted in botany — the cannabinoid makeup and terpenes are what determine the effects of the strain. While this is true, the stereotypes about these different strains exist for a reason. If you’re ready to learn more about indica vs. sativa effects, keep reading. Indica vs. Sativa: What Are They? The terms indica and sativa are used to describe the different types of cannabis plant, along with cannabis ruderalis (which we’ll talk about a little later). The hemp plant is traditionally found in different parts of Europe and Central Asia. There were geographical barriers like the Himalayan Mountains that allowed for two different populations of the hemp plant to flourish — indica vs. sativa. When referring to indica vs. sativa leaf, people often mean the kinds that have a THC content above the federal legal limits. This is a narrow view of cannabis and hemp because products ranging from cannabidiol to any other hemp-derived product also comes from a specific strain. They often just get lumped into the category of “industrial hemp.” Indica vs. sativa is a way to help organize the thousands of different strains ranging from “Hindu Kush” to Maui Wowie. Now that you know a little about the origins of these types of hemp, let’s take a look at the indica effects, sativa effects, and their differences.

Facts About Cannabis Ruderalis cannabis ruderalis plant leaf

1) There’s A Reason It’s Named Cannabis Ruderalis If Cannabis ruderalis (C. ruderalis, or just ruderalis for short) were an animal, we’d call it feral — as in, living in a wild state. For plants, however, feral doesn’t apply. Instead, botanists use the term ruderal . Ruderal refers to a plant growing on waste ground, among refuse, and in extreme environments found in colder, more elevated climates. Essentially, ruderal describes a weed that grows where it’s not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants. So it’s not the slang sense you’re used to, but the actual scientific definition of a pesky, unwanted plant. Cannabis ruderalis commonly grows near roadsides, on agricultural land that is fallow, or on other land that humans have disturbed and then left alone.

2) Grew Originally In Russia And Adjacent Areas Cannabis ruderalis predates pretty much all of the countries you’d recognize on a map — meaning it was there before man put name to place. Scientists agree, though, that ruderalis was common in what is now Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and specifically Russia. In fact, ruderalis probably originated in Russia and then spread east, west, and south into countries such as: Mongolia China Pakistan Afghanistan Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Kazakhstan Ukraine Slovakia Romania And others In many of these areas, ruderalis continues to grow as a weed in competition with more domesticated cultivars such as corn, wheat, and oats. Cannabis ruderalis isn’t very common in the Western Hemisphere because, as we’ll discuss, it’s only got one or two specific uses. For that and other reasons, humans didn’t go to the trouble of planting ruderalis here in the states.

4) The Smallest Of The Cannabis Plants Cannabis ruderalis is the smallest of the cannabis plants. While sativa strains grow up to 20 feet tall and indica strains grow up to six feet tall, ruderalis grows between one and two-and-a-half feet tall. Botanists attribute this small height to the fact that ruderalis needs to thrive in harsh and varied conditions, such as areas with poor soil, no shade, and exposure to winds and pests. A small, sturdy plant is much better suited to this type of environment than a tall plant. Because of its small stature, ruderalis is often referred to as dwarf cannabis or bonsai cannabis. Ruderalis produces only a few branches that contain wide, fat-bladed leaves. Ironically, the stereotypical pot leaf that has become a symbol of cannabis culture most nearly resembles the Cannabis ruderalis leaf. It’s ironic because ruderalis doesn’t get you high like sativa and indica.

5) Doesn’t Depend On Light Exposure To Flower Marijuana plants outdoors One of the most unique and valuable traits of the Cannabis ruderalis plant is that it doesn’t depend on light exposure to flower. Of course, ruderalis needs light to grow — as all plants do — but this strain doesn’t depend on the ratio of light to dark hours (the photoperiod) to switch from vegetative growth to flowering growth. Instead, the switch depends on age (i.e., number of days). Scientists call this trait autoflowering. What that means for the average grower — or the person who stumbles upon ruderalis in the wild — is that autoflowering strains don’t require varying the amount of light the plant gets the way you do with photoperiodic strains. Just to clarify, photoperiod-dependent strains (or photoperiodic for short) are your classic indica, sativa, and hybrid strains with names even the newest of noobs is probably familiar with (like Blue Dream, Sour Diesel, and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies). These strains respond to changes in light (i.e., the length of exposure) to “know” when to produce flowers. To better explain, think about the summer and fall seasons. During the longest days of summer, an outdoor plant might get 15 hours or more of sunlight. After the summer solstice, the number of hours of daylight decreases. This is usually the “cue” for plants to begin flowering. It’s the basic growing cycle that farmers have been dealing with for 11,000 years and that you probably learned about in kindergarten (only without the big words like photoperiod-dependent). The autoflowering ruderalis strain will grow for a certain number of days and then flower regardless of the amount of light it gets (as long as it gets enough to thrive, of course).

6) Grows Fast Cannabis ruderalis grows very fast. The typical lifecycle of a ruderalis plant — from seed to flower — is as low as 10 weeks (though 12 to 14 weeks is more typical). Compare that to the much longer grow times of indica and sativa — anywhere from four to six months — and you can see why breeders value this little plant.

7) Contains Very Low THC Levels The question on most people’s minds when it comes to Cannabis ruderalis is, “How much THC does this baby have?” Unfortunately, the answer is very little. How much is very little? It helps to compare ruderalis to hemp. To qualify as hemp — which is basically just a foodstuff and an industrial product — the plant needs to contain less than 0.3% of the cannabinoid THC. Cannabis ruderalis, on the other hand, typically exhibits less than 3% THC. That small amount is not enough to produce anything akin to a body or head high like indica and sativa (which can get as high as 28 or 29%)

8) Contains Some CBD Cannabis ruderalis does contain a bit of CBD, so you can use it to experience some wonderful medicinal benefits. The beneficial effects of CBD are legion, and more are being discovered every day. Here are some things CBD can do: Promote bone growth Inhibit growth in cancer cells Kill or slow bacterial growth Reduce risk of artery blockage Treat psoriasis Prevent degeneration of nervous system Reduce blood sugar levels Aid sleep Reduce seizures and convulsions Suppress muscle spasms Relieve anxiety Lessen the severity of psychosis Reduce nausea and vomiting Stimulate appetite Reduce inflammation Decrease pain For many patients, achieving these benefits without the psychoactive effects normally associated with marijuana would be like the holy grail of medical treatment. That’s one of the reasons Cannabis ruderalis is still used by many breeders: because mixing its genes with indicas and sativas is an easy way to increase CBD count without also increasing THC count.

9) Cannabis Ruderalis Is Not The Same As Hemp A bud of cannabis ruderalis Earlier in the article, we touched on one of the main differences between Cannabis ruderalis and hemp — THC levels. But there are many more differences between Cannabis ruderalis and hemp. Hemp is a relative of the sativa and indica plants that get you high, but growers have bred it in such a way that it’s extremely low in THC (0.3%). That’s so low you won’t feel a trace of psychedelia no matter how much you take — that’s why it’s been grown legally for decades. Similarly, hemp contains very low levels of CBD (0.5 to 2.0%) and other cannabinoids, such as CBG and CBN. So why grow it? Because it’s great as a foodstuff and an industrial product. Check any health food shop, “big box” grocery store, or corner bodega and you’ll likely find hemp seeds in there somewhere. Hemp seeds are high in polyunsaturated fats (omega-3 and omega-6), vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins B1 and B2. This makes them a healthy addition to any balanced diet. We love sprinkling them in soups, salads, and smoothies for a delicious and nutritious kick. But the benefits of hemp don’t stop with the seeds. Manufacturers use hemp in everything from shampoo to plastics to paint to rope and clothing. It’s a very versatile plant! Cannabis ruderalis, on the other hand, is not a nutritionally dense plant, nor can it be used as an industrial product like hemp. Cannabis ruderalis is really only good for its genetics and its growing properties.

10) Doesn’t Need Your Help One of the nice things about Cannabis ruderalis is that it doesn’t need a lot of help from humans. As we touched on at the beginning of this article, it’s basically a weed (in the botanical sense) that’s going to grow despite your best efforts to the contrary. It’s very much like a dandelion in that regard. Have you ever had to feed and water and care for the dandelions in your front yard? Heck no! Those suckers just grow wherever they want. In fact, they’ll grow despite what you, mother nature, and even weedkillers thrown at them. Cannabis ruderalis exhibits many of those same characteristics. In fact, that’s one of the things breeders love about the plant — it exhibits a more laissez-faire attitude than some other, more needy and hands-on, strains of cannabis. Cannabis ruderalis is hearty, resistant to disease, grows in a variety of climates, and isn’t overly picky about the soil in which it lives. Sure, it’s got very low cannabinoid content, but its growing properties are extremely desirable.

Will Cannabis Ruderalis Get You High? Unless you’re an absolute newb and you’ve spent your entire life avoiding stimulants and psychoactives of every kind (including coffee, tea, pop, and high fructose corn sugar), Cannabis ruderalis will not get you high.

That said, we recommend taking things slow. Don’t jump from “never done it before” directly into the deep end. Increase the THC content slowly so you’re familiar with the feelings and know how your body will handle the high. To help you in this regard, here’s an incremental guide to help you answer the question, “Will get me high?” If your cannabis product contains one percent THC or less, you won’t feel a thing (because, most likely, this is hemp). I f your cannabis product contains one percent to five percent THC, and depending on your pot experience, you might start to feel something (Cannabis ruderalis falls in this category). If your cannabis product contains five percent to 10 percent THC, you’ll probably hear a shape or two. If your cannabis product contains 10 percent to 15 percent THC, you’ll be well on your way to your HIGH. If your cannabis product contains anything above 15 percent THC, kiss reality goodbye.

If your cannabis product is (made from) a CBD-dominant strain used for medicinal purposes, you will not get high. So, again, will Cannabis ruderalis get you high? It will not. You might feel some medicinal effects (as in relief from anxiety or a decrease in pain if you have either) thanks to the CBD, but the very low THC content won’t be enough to give you the high that you’ve heard all your canna-pals talking about. Talk to the budtenders at your local dispensary and they can recommend a product with just the right amount of THC to keep you from getting too high. Is Cannabis Ruderalis Legal? A blunt with cannabis ruderalis In order to be completely, 100% legal, Cannabis ruderalis would have to exhibit the same traits as hemp. Specifically, that means that, in the United States, it would have to contain less than 0.3% THC (0.2%-0.3% THC in Europe).

As we discussed, Cannabis ruderalis typically contains 3% THC, which puts it well above the legal threshold. But, again, is Cannabis ruderalis legal? The answer is a bit confusing. Cannabis Ruderalis Is Not Legal At The Federal Level At the beginning of 2021, all cannabis is illegal according to the federal government. Currently, the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) of 1970 classifies cannabis as a Schedule I drug along with Heroin, Ecstasy, PCP, LSD, Psilocybin, Mescaline, and Peyote. Schedule I classification means that those substances have no defined medicinal purpose, have a lack of accepted safety under medical supervision, and have the highest potential for abuse. So, even though Cannabis ruderalis is about as harmless as you can get without becoming hemp, the federal government still lumps it in with much stronger drugs.

Cannabis Ruderalis Is Legal In Many States As of this writing, all 50 states have addressed the use of cannabis and cannabis-derived products (including Cannabis ruderalis). H ere’s how it breaks down state by state. Legal Recreational And Medical Use Washington Oregon California Nevada Arizona Montana Colorado South Dakota Illinois Michigan Alaska Maine Vermont Massachusetts New Jersey Legal Medical Use Utah New Mexico North Dakota Minnesota Oklahoma Missouri Arkansas Louisiana Mississippi Florida Ohio West Virginia Virginia Pennsylvania New York Maryland Delaware Connecticut Rhode Island New Hampshire Hawaii

If the limit is below 3% THC, you’re golden and can partake of the Cannabis ruderalis with impunity. Cannabis Ruderalis Hybrids Are Perfect For Monster Cropping Weed plant

You’ll notice we didn’t say Cannabis ruderalis is perfect for monster cropping. It’s not.

First and foremost, it’s autoflowering.

Second, it doesn’t grow very tall and monster cropping works best on medium-height plants. Cannabis ruderalis hybrids — ruderalis mixed with an indica or sativa strain — however, are a different story entirely. If your hybrid fits the following characteristics, give monster cropping a try: Grows quickly and vigorously in the vegetative stage

Grows quickly and vigorously in the early part of the flowering stage

Grows lots of stems and bud sites

Grows to medium height Is not of the autoflowering variety Monster cropping is easy to do, doesn’t require a lot of plants to start, saves you money, and results in more flowers. An abundance of flowers, then, gives you more opportunities to toke with friends, to experiment with making your own cannabis products (e.g., hash, Thai sticks, cannabis coffee, cavi cones, and so much more), and to perfect your growing process so you can produce the best buds for recreational or medicinal use. Despite those benefits, monster cropping with Cannabis ruderalis hybrids is not without its drawbacks.

You’ll definitely need more space — one for the parent plant and one for the new plant(s) — and the ability to regulate conditions such as humidity, airflow, temperature, and light in each. Y

ou’ll also add two to three weeks to the grow cycle so that the plants can revegetate. If you’re in a terrible rush, you may want to buy your weed at a dispensary while the plants grow, or skip monster cropping altogether until you’ve got more time to spare. It’s also worth noting that not every cutting (clone) will grow.

No one knows why and it’s one of the great mysteries of the universe (right up there with a unified field theory). It’s just something you have to accept if you venture down the monster-cropping road. When it comes to cannabinoid content, Cannabis ruderalis is close to the bottom of the barrel. C. ruderalis is very low in THC — so it won’t get you high — and, though it does have some CBD, you won’t feel the same quality of medicinal effects because the concentration is lower than high-CBD indicas and sativas.

Unlike hemp, ruderalis isn’t high in vitamins and minerals. And manufacturers can’t use it to produce chemical or textile products like shampoo, lotion, soap, plastic, paint, rope, or clothing.

The true value of Cannabis ruderalis lies in its abilities to autoflower and to grow quickly. For years, breeders have crossed common cannabis strains with C. ruderalis to improve growing time and flowering without decreasing cannabinoid content. So, while Cannabis ruderalis is pretty much just a weed, the fact that it will grow nearly anywhere — and do so quickly and without a lot of human interference — makes it a valuable member of the cannabis family.

What Is Delta-8-THC?

Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol (commonly known as Delta 8 THC) extracted from the hemp plant has been shown to have many therapeutic effects including…

What Is Delta-8-THC?

Delta-8-THC is similar to both delta-9-THC and CBD, the non-intoxicating cannabinoid. D8 shares many of the same medicinal benefits of both D9 THC and CBD.

Moreover, its intoxicating effects lie somewhere in between those of D9 THC and CBD.

Like these other more well-known cannabinoids, D8 is excellent for reducing inflammation, relieving pain, taming anxiety, preventing nausea, and much more.

But the thing about D8 THC is there’s not really enough of it to go around. While cannabis flower can consist of up to 30 percent THC and CBD, D8 THC is usually produced in quantities of less than a fraction of a percent. This difficiency of D8 makes it economically unfeasible to produce in mass quantities.

Or does it…. Interestingly, CBD can be converted to D8 THC after extraction. And CBD oils can be legally mass-produced from hemp (non-intoxicating strains of cannabis). Now you’ve got an intoxicating (albeit mildly) compound without having to grow marijuana, which, as we all know, is federally illegal.

Is Delta-8 THC Legal?

If there’s one thing the government doesn’t like it’s when people figure out ways to get around their rules. So, when D8 started becoming the new rage, the USDA decided to make it clear that all synthesized cannabinoids are Schedule I controlled substances.

So now the question becomes, what exactly does “synthesized” actually mean. And therein lies the D8 debate. While the feds say D8 is synthesized, the National Hemp Association, begs to differ. The group claims that because D8-THC is made from natural CBD, it does not qualify as “synthetically derived.”

The jury is still out on the legality of D8 and D8 still out on the open market. So far, you don’t need a medical marijuana card. You can buy delta-8 THC online. So far as we know, no one has been arrested for producing and selling D8. While it’s looking more and more likely that the federal government will either legalize or decriminalize marijuana, the question remains as to whether or not the feds will consider D8 to be a synthetic cannabinoid and choose to continue to regulate it.

. The Importance of Delta-8-THC In Medicine Aside from wielding an array of medicinal benefits, one thing that makes D8 THC so valuable as a medicine is that D8-THC is highly stable and has a long shelf life, whereas D9 THC does not. D9 oxidizes over time converting into cannabinol (CBN) which is not as medicinally useful as D8 THC.

So, the short of it is that D8 can hang around in the pharmacy or medicine cabinet a lot longer than D9 while providing many of the same benefits and lowering the risk of excessive intoxication. In various studies, D8 has emerged as a safe and effective pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-nausea treatment.

All of these claims are also made about CBD, however, D8 offers that little bit of an uplifting effect which might make it better for treating depression than CBD. One of the most promising uses of D8, however, might be as an adjunct in the treatment of cancer.

A clinical study done in 1995 explored delta-8 THC’s efficacy in reducing or preventing nausea in children diagnosed with cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy. Data showed that D8 did, indeed, safely and effectively reduced the side effects of chemo.

Many D8 users claim that it is more effective at reducing nausea than common pharmaceutical medications. We expect to see a lot more of this interesting cannabinoid compound in the future — especially in states where marijuana is legal for recreational or medical use where officials are far less likely to care about one more cannabinoid.

Legalization of hemp

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp products as long as they have less than point three percent of delta-9 THC, the compound in marijuana that causes a high. But the bill doesn’t address delta-8. “It lives in that gray area,” attorney Bill Roark said.

Roark, who teaches cannabis law and regulation, said people may believe delta-8 is legal because it is derived from hemp. “I don’t think anyone can say that the intent of the Farm Bill was to find another way to create a legalized psychoactive drug,” he said. The Food and Drug Administration recently issued a warning that some delta-8 THC products can have serious health risks.

It said there have been adverse event reports in the last year involving 22 patients. They experienced vomiting, hallucinations and other issues. “You don’t know what you’re getting.

You’re getting an adulterated hemp material and so it really needs to be buyer beware,” said Dr. Kent Vrana, a pharmacologist with the Penn State College of Medicine.

When Reisinger was asked whether people are using delta-8 THC to get high, he said, “Not in our experience. I can’t say for every single person. Nine times out of 10, there’s not a psychoactive element that’s hit.

While there’s the potential, we want to be more safe than sorry.” Nineteen states have regulated, restricted or banned the sale of delta-8 THC products. Pennsylvania is not one of them.

Cannabis Freedom Alliance Releases New White Paper on Federal Regulation of Cannabis in a Legalized Environment

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2021 – Today, the Cannabis Freedom Alliance (CFA) announced that it has endorsed the States Reform Act.

The Act strongly aligns with CFA’s vision of ending prohibition in a manner consistent with helping all Americans achieve their full potential and limiting the number of barriers that inhibit innovation and entrepreneurship in a free and open market. The States Reform Act is the truly principled vehicle for conservatives, libertarian, and all who value limited government to support cannabis reform.

See the source image — Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC)’s team in crafting this legislation and to lend it our future support. The Act creates a bill that keeps Americans and their children safe while ending the federal preemption of and interference with state cannabis laws

Cannabis Freedom Alliance

Monday, November 15, 2021

CFA was proud to work with Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC)’s team in crafting this legislation and to lend it our future support. The Act creates a bill that keeps Americans and their children safe while ending the federal preemption of and interference with state cannabis laws.

The States Reform Act: Federally decriminalizes cannabis and fully defers to state powers over prohibition and commercial regulation Regulates cannabis products like alcohol products Institutes a 3% federal excise tax on those products to fund law enforcement and small business programs. Ensures the continued existence of state medical cannabis programs and patient access while allowing for new medical research and products to be developed Protects our veterans by ensuring they will not be discriminated against in federal hiring for cannabis use or lose their VA healthcare for following their doctor’s advice to use medical cannabis Protects children and young adults under 21 from cannabis products and advertising nationwide

Weldon Angelos, co-Coordinator of CFA’s Steering Committee and head of Mission Green/The Weldon Project, said: “The States Reform Act represents exciting movement towards compromise on the cannabis criminal justice issue and progress-building on the First Step Act. Representative Mace is bringing constructive solutions that promise to bring more Republicans to the table to end an unjust root cause of mass incarceration.”

Weldon Angelos was sentenced to a mandatory 55 years in prison for selling a few pounds of marijuana while possessing a firearm “As cannabis use continues to grow throughout the country, this legislation is a good first step at striking a regulatory balance between the federal government and states,” said Jillian Snider, R Street Institute Criminal Justice & Civil Liberties Policy Director and retired NYPD officer. “It provides a comprehensive framework for federal decriminalization, including updating laws that help guide our criminal justice system.

One crucial change would allow certain non-violent federal cannabis convictions to be expunged, freeing up those resources to protect public safety in other, more valuable ways. We are thrilled to see a Republican-led effort to bring federal cannabis laws into the modern age and applaud Congresswoman Mace for her leadership.”

Cannabis Freedom Alliance Releases New White Paper on Federal Regulation of Cannabis in a Legalized Environment Cannabis Freedom Alliance (CFA), a coalition of prominent national advocacy and business organizations seeking to end the prohibition and criminalization of cannabis in the United States, released a White Paper that provides an overview and general recommendations to help guide the effort toward federal legalization of cannabis. CFA Steering Committee Membership includes prominent national advocacy organizations Americans for Prosperity (AFP), Mission Green/The Weldon Project, the Reason Foundation, and the Global Alliance for Cannabis Commerce (GACC), and Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP).

The CFA White Paper, available for download at cannabisfreedomalliance.org, provides analysis and makes recommendations on a variety of topics–from criminal justice reform to the mechanics of federally-regulated interstate trade–that help ensure a free, fair, open, and equitable cannabis marketplace for all Americans. Specifically, the aim is to achieve the following goals: Establishing a regulatory framework that promotes public safety while allowing innovation, industry, and research to thrive. Ensuring individuals previously involved in the illicit market can effectively secure a second chance and contribute to the legal market. Creating low barriers to entry and non-restrictive occupational and business licensing so that large companies and new entrepreneurs can compete on a level playing field. Imposing a total tax burden – federal, state, and local combined – that does not incentivize the continuation of gray or black markets and ensures competitive global footing for a vibrant, novel U.S. industry.

UPDATED NEWS ON Pennsylvania MMJ Cultivation Two state senators announced plans this week to introduce legislation that would allow Pennsylvania medical marijuana patients to grow their own plants at home. Sens. Dan Laughlin, R-Erie, and Sharif Street, D-Philadelphia, said they will co-sponsor legislation to allow Pennsylvanians in the state’s medical marijuana program (MMJ) to cultivate a limited number of cannabis plants from their home for personal use. “Pennsylvania’s MMJ Advisory Board and the state Health Department have mounting data illustrating significant disparities in accessibility,” Laughlin said.

“Cost has likewise been a big burden for patients for quite some time.” Pennsylvania approved medical marijuana with Act 16 in 2016, but patients in some rural counties must travel more than two hours to purchase flower at a dispensary. Patients also have complained products at the dispensaries are very expensive, particularly for cancer and terminally ill patients who do not have insurance coverage for the medicine they need. “It is critical that policy meet people where they are, and by allowing medical marijuana patients to grow cannabis plants at home, we can help ease the cost and accessibility burdens for this important medicine,” Laughlin said.

“This legislation would go a long way towards helping everyday Pennsylvanians meet their health needs and ensuring everyone is treated equitably and fairly under Act 16.” Laughlin and Street posted a memorandum Wednesday on the Pennsylvania state Senate website to solicit co-sponsors for the legislation. The Marijuana Policy Project, a nonprofit that advocates for marijuana policy reform, reports about half of the states with medical marijuana programs, and 15 of 19 states that have legalized adult-use cannabis, currently allow for personal cultivation. The Marijuana Policy Project contends in states with safeguards in place, such as a limit on plant numbers and requirements to keep grows out of public view, there have been no serious issues. No states have repealed home cultivation, and none is attempting to do so, according to the nonprofit.

The senators’ announcement came just over a month after Laughlin and Street introduced legislation to allow for adult use of marijuana in Pennsylvania. Senate Bill 473 would allow for personal use of marijuana, establish a Cannabis Regulatory Control Board, provide for regulating marijuana businesses, help those convicted of marijuana related crimes to expunge their records and incorporate the changes into current laws regarding driving under the influence. SB 473 is awaiting a hearing in the Senate Law and Justice Committee.

Laughlin and Street said more than 60% of Pennsylvanians support adult-use marijuana legislation, which the Pennsylvania Independent Fiscal Office estimated would generate between $400 million and $1 billion a year in new tax revenue for the commonwealth. Pennsylvania State Police arrested more than 20,000 adults for marijuana-relation violations in 2020, an increase from 2019, the senators said. Federal lawmakers, meanwhile, also have moved to decriminalize marijuana nationally.

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced legislation Monday to decriminalize marijuana and allow states to pass laws and regulations without fear of federal intrusion. Mace told reporters at a Washington news conference a half-dozen of her Republican colleagues plan to co-sponsor the bill she said would regulate marijuana in the same way as alcohol, prohibiting use for anyone under 21, The Associated Press reported. If approved, Mace said, the measure would not change local marijuana restrictions and regulations already adopted by states. “It protects each state’s unique laws and reforms,” she said.

“It takes into account at the federal level that every state is different.” The National Conference of State Legislatures has reported 36 states and four territories have approved medical marijuana use. Eighteen states, two territories and the District of Columbia.

Dipping From The Same Pot. Federal Legalization Of Cannabis Will Shake Up Florida Structure

Florida is a fully vertically integrated state, and this has had some pretty massive impact on the way the legal cannabis market has grown in the state.

Florida, long thought known to have a Medical marijuana policy which would make sense have instead, implemented a system in which all cannabis companies are their own grower, processor, and distribution channels under one corporate entity with zero allowance for cooperation or subcontracting outside of some very special cases of outside products being licensed for production with one of the currently licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTC, Florida’s term for these vertical cannabis companies).

Evidence of the system’s shortcomings can be found in a number of places and has permeated every corner of the “green rush” here.

Licensing – The first place to look for a clue as to the effects of a government-forced cartel system is in the market itself, based on the numbers available from the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use.

The numbers tell us two different stories: one of a stifled market with little incentive for innovation or growth, and one of an industry held back by regulations.

When looking at the effects vertical integration has had on the market itself, the most glaring thing is the limited number of licenses.

Florida started with only eight licenses, then approved four more, then another four, and eventually culminating in the 22 currently licensed operators.

Of those 22, only 13 are currently producing and dispensing products.

This is nearly four years after 71.3% of Floridians voted for Amendment 2, legalizing medical cannabis here in the Sunshine State.

This is fewer license operators than states significantly smaller, and newer to the legal market.

Vertical Integration has created a government-regulated monopoly virtually free from competition, entrepreneurship, and many of the jobs and opportunities normally associated with a growing industry.

Brian Vicente of Vicente Sederberg LLC said in an interview for Cannabis Business Times, “By mandating that anyone that’s allowed to do either of those activities needs to own both, you’re basically limiting yourself to rich people that can enter the market. I think that’s a negative thing in terms of promoting economic and racial diversity in this new industry.”

The point was further evidenced with the original licensure requirement of 30 years in business as a commercial nursery, which has since been ruled unconstitutional.

Product availability –

The second major effect that can be seen from these numbers is the lack of product availability and the slow rollout of normally available delivery methods.

Recreational Delivery Companies in Most States Deliver From A Local Dispensary.

Federal Legalization will allow delivery from Cannabis Depots where shipments

will be tracked into Depots from around the country.

Florida started with only CBD available. When dispensaries first began opening a few months later they could only sell CBD over the counter and had to sell THC by delivery only.

For the first three years of legalization, Floridians were only allowed concentrates and tinctures. It took a lawsuit from Cathy Jordan to get Floridians the right to use whole flower cannabis, which also led to a near doubling of the market.

In case it didn’t jump out immediately, yes that said Florida was legal for three years before whole flower medication was available, and further cements the first downside by being the largest and most blatant constraint on the industry.

The industry was effectively kept at 50% of its capacity for the first three years.

Florida still has edibles only for those who seek Medical Approval for this delivery method and even faced a push this year by state legislator Gayle Harrell to cap cannabis products at 10% total THC.

As Of September 2, 2021

Limitations of vertical integration Outside of the industry in nearly every state. Cannabis titan MedMen has been one of the most successful marijuana firms to date, pushing the vertical integration model for the last several years.

In the last 18 months though, they have been among the hardest hit by a trend of market corrections, culminating in Interim CEO Ryan Lissack telling CNN that, “While vertical integration has been a big focus in the industry, our growing belief is that cannabis is evolving like every other consumer vertical: with a fragmented value chain and specialists at each layer.”

As other states are legalizing cannabis for medical and adult-use purposes across the country, Florida is still dragging its feet on things that should be a given when discussing medical marijuana.

As the major players nationally, and internationally, are moving away from the large mega-corporations and vertical operations, Floridians are still stuck with limited product options from a state-mandated oligopoly.

While there is nothing wrong with successful businesses diversifying into other segments of the supply chain, the evidence suggests that forcing this model onto the industry at large creates a stifled industry that lacks competition, small businesses, and the need for innovation. Specialization is the future, and it’s currently the one thing Florida lacks.

While the National Legalization undergoes it own legalization pains, we must look to states that have “moved the chains of aftermarket legalization”. In California, movement of cannabis products in the State and Subsequent Move to outlying areas are being utilized to help satisfy the recreational market. We in the USA who are interested, involved, curious and betting on the right way to proceed, need to take a step back and LOOK at The Bigger Picture.
