Weekly Legislative Roundup 11/16/18

Welcome to the latest edition of NORML’s Weekly Legislative Roundup!

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued a “guarantee” that hemp legalization will be in the finalized Farm Bill. “If there’s a Farm Bill, it’ll be in there, I guarantee that,” he told reporters.

Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) has introduced a series of bills aimed at addressing the therapeutic use of marijuana among veterans.

Incoming U.S. House Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) says he will allow floor debates and votes on marijuana amendments, “unlike his predecessors.”

At the state level, Utah lawmakers are expected to consider a compromise medical cannabis bill during a special session beginning December 3.

New Jersey’s Assembly speaker and Senate president said they expect committee votes on legalizing marijuana by the end of this month. The Republican Assembly leader said legalization is “inevitable.” And a key state senator who was once opposed to ending prohibition is now expressing support.

A spokesperson for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said the governor plans to “introduce a formal comprehensive [marijuana legalization] proposal during the 2019 legislative session.” A New York senator said she believes Cuomo and lawmakers will legalize marijuana in the state via the 2019 budget.

It’s possible that Massachusetts recreational marijuana sales could begin on Sunday. The state’s top regulator said sales will likely start in “a week plus or minus maybe a couple of days longer than that.”

The Vermont marijuana legalization study committee’s taxation and regulation subcommittee plans to recommend a 26% or 27% tax rate on sales.

An Indiana state senator plans to file several marijuana reform bills, including decriminalization and medical marijuana legislation. A North Dakota representative plans to file a marijuana decriminalization bill. A Wisconsin state senator also plans to introduce a bill in 2019 to legalize marijuana for adults.

Minnesota Gov.-elect Tim Walz (D) and the incoming House speaker said that the state will consider legalizing marijuana in 2019.

At a more local level, the Jackson County, Missouri prosecutor said she will stop pursuing most marijuana possession cases. Similarly, Albany County, New York’s district attorney said that starting on December 1, he will no longer prosecute simple marijuana possession cases.

Muskegon County, Michigan’s prosecutor is dropping some pending marijuana charges in light of legalization and is considering expunging past convictions. Separately, some Michigan municipalities are already moving to opt out of allowing legal marijuana sales, at least temporarily.

Following are the bills that we’ve tracked this week and as always, check http://norml.org/act for legislation pending in your state.

Don’t forget to sign up for our email list and we will keep you posted as these bills and more move through your home state legislature and at the federal level.

Your Highness,

Indiana NORML: Midterm Elections Shakeup State Legislature

On Tuesday, November 6th, Indiana voters took their final opportunity to vote in the 2018 midterm election. While Indiana did not have the opportunity to vote directly on cannabis propositions as in other states, there were numerous candidates on the ballot supportive of reforming our cannabis laws. Many of them did not win their races, but this election was not without wins for cannabis reform in Indiana. Here are some highlights and some races we’re still watching:

JD Ford: State Senate District 29

During the 2018 session, state senator Mike Delph (R) voted against legalizing CBD products in Indiana, an issue widely supported by Hoosiers. JD Ford (D), on the other hand, actively campaigned on the issue of cannabis. “I believe that it is time to work with law enforcement agencies, healthcare groups, and other stakeholders to legalize medical cannabis and decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cannabis,” Ford told us in response to one of our candidate survey questions. Delph responded to the same question about decriminalization by stating that, “This is not our most pressing area of criminal law. From a practical standpoint, we really need the federal government to address its position before we can meaningfully do so at the state level.”

JD Ford won his race and will be a new voice for reforming our cannabis laws in the Indiana Senate, where the sentiment on cannabis legislation is thought to be more even more hostile than in the House.

Chris Campbell: Indiana House District 26

Chris Campbell (D) ran against incumbent state representative Sally Siegriest (R), and won with 57% of the vote. In response to our candidate survey, Campbell said she was supportive of implementing a medical cannabis program in Indiana, decriminalizing cannabis, and allowing retail sales of cannabis for personal use.

Chris Chyung: Indiana House District 15

In house district 15, Chris Chyung (D) won his race against incumbent Harold Slager (R). “The federal government also needs to set clear guidelines on the legality of cannabis,” Chyung said in response to a question posed by NWI Times about issues that required action from the federal government, “Colorado has benefited to the tune of over half a billion dollars in revenue alone, and more in jobs growth and economic development. I will never allow Indiana to leave that kind of potential money on the table.”

Other races with supportive candidates remain to be called. Due to widespread issues at polling locations, results for Indiana’s 4th house district might not be available until November 16th, although candidate Frank Szczepanski (D) supports implementing a medical program, decriminalization, and the legalization of retail sales for personal use.

NORML Chapters Participate in Las Vegas’ First Business-to-Consumer Cannabis Conference

Members of the Nevada NORML chapters, alongside representatives from Denver NORML, Arizona NORML and the National NORML Board of Directors, participated in Las Vegas’ first Business-to-Consumer Cannabis conference this weekend at the Rio Hotel & Casino.

The Herban Expo opened its doors Friday as a free convention available to the public. While there are a vast array of emerging expos and shows within the cannabis space, Herban Expo’s unique focus on consumers and free entry certainly set it apart. With nearly 50 vendors from across Nevada regions and nationwide, the show floor remained a steady source of valuable education and networking all weekend.

It was a great honor that Las Vegas NORML was asked to organize the panels and educational content, for all three days on the main stage. The Las Vegas NORML stage ended up featuring almost 30 panels and presentations, composed of over 60 experts! The feedback from attendees regarding their experiences were overwhelmingly positive. Topics of panels included, “CannaParents”, Criminal Justice Reform, Cannabis is Medicine, Social Use Lounges, How to Start a Cannabis Support Business, and more.

As part of NORML’s call to action over the weekend, members from the various chapters led efforts to collect letters to Congress in support of marijuana reform. Though the goal for the weekend was 500, nearly 600 letters were signed to demonstrate support for the STATES Act, SAFE Banking Act, the Marijuana Data Collection Act and expansion for Veterans’ Access! Attendees of the event were eager to participate in the letter writing campaign and found it to be a great opportunity to familiarize themselves with current federal legislation.

This past weekend hundreds of marijuana related businesses arrived early in Las Vegas for MJ BizCon, the largest Marijuana conference to hit the states, but entry costs nearly $700 for the general public. Herban Expo will return again in 2019 and NORML chapters are excited to remain an active part in the educational aspects in order to bring consumers the most valuable experience possible. 

More about this year’s expo and upcoming info for future events can be found at www.HerbanExpo.com. Thank you everyone that attended! See you in 2019! Follow Las Vegas and Nevada NORML on Instagram (@lasvegasNORML & @NevadaNORML) for more information about upcoming events.

Joy Beckerman: Hemp Industries Association Evangelist

You can’t take the hippie out of Joy Beckerman. The Hemp Industries Association (HIA) president became a canna-activist in Grateful Dead parking lots in the early ’90s. “I learned about the social and political injustice of marijuana and of industrial hemp on Grateful Dead tour,” she tells Freedom Leaf.

With her busy schedule, Beckerman doesn’t have the time to attend Dead & Company shows these days, though she did go to the Fare Thee Well concerts in 2015. She has a trade organization to run and presentations to make. Just days before this interview, Beckerman spoke to a large group of attendees at the CannaGather event in New York. At warp-speed, she discussed every aspect of hemp, from science to laws to investment possibilities.

Several days later, Beckerman tells me why she decided to make hemp her life’s work. “If you’re going to be a professional, you’re going to have to specialize and serve your clients and the needs of building either the hemp economy or the marijuana economy appropriately,” she says. “I chose the former.”

Back in her Deadhead days, Beckerman opened a hemp store, Heaven on Earth, in Woodstock, NY. She proudly recalls that “we got a cease-and-desist letter for stamping ‘I GREW HEMP’ on dollar bills.”

After closing up that shop, Beckerman moved to Washington State, where she immersed herself in the new legal marijuana economy there. Unfortunately, the state’s hemp program proved to be a disappointment, and she returned to New York last year. “It doesn’t allow for extraction and there’s no infrastructure to process the seed or the fiber,” she says. “In many ways, extraction is bringing people into hemp.”

“I’m a grassroots activist, that’s what I’ve always been and what I continue to be.”

On the other hand, New York, which she dubs the “Hempire State,” has a robust program. “They put $10 million into the program,” Beckerman explains. “The New York Department of Agriculture is very receptive and wonderful to work with.”

It’s a good time for hemp and CBD production. The 2018 Farm Bill, when it’s passed, will remove hemp from the Controlled Substances Act and place it under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture, no longer the DEA.

“It brings hemp up there with other crops and allows it to have federal crop insurance,” she reports. “It expands the definition of hemp to include derivatives, cannabinoids and extracts.”

It will also mean the end of the many state hemp pilot programs. Currently, hemp is legal in 42 states, but remains prohibited federally. The best programs, she says, are in New York, Oregon, Colorado, North Carolina, Kentucky and Montana.

Beckerman credits Jack Herer, who wrote the hemp manifesto, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, as her primary inspiration. “He exposed this massive truth about this plant,” she notes. “The knowledge of it was being hidden from us. The Emperor turned my life around. He’s larger than life in my mind.”

Herer would be proud of Beckerman’s dedication to hemp. No one has synthetized his work and beliefs like her. Herer famously would hold court for hours on the subject, that hemp, among other things, could “save the world.” Beckerman channels that energy whether she’s talking to a crowd or conducting a one-on-one interview.

“I’m reaching out and being proactive, as is my nature,” she says. “I’m a grassroots activist, that’s what I’ve always been and what I continue to be.”

On Jack Herer: “The Emperor Wears No Clothes turned my life around. He’s larger than life in my mind.” 

Though there’s some confusion about hemp and CBD, Beckerman embraces both. “I’m so grateful for the energy of the CBD community,” she relates. “The industry leaders for CBD are doing a tremendous job educating. They’re helping to fund a lot of the boots-on-the-ground lobbying to move this plant forward and to clear up ambiguity in laws and regulations around CBD. The citizens of this country deserve to have access to this safe plant.”

The CBD boom is benefitting the HIA, which has grown from 200 members to 800 since the passage of the 2014 Farm Bill. Beckerman’s also on NORML’s Board of Directors and likes the new direction the organization is heading.

“Due to the tools and resources that we now have in place and the expanded staff NORML has, we’re kicking ass and taking names,” she boasts. “People want to be card-carrying members of NORML. They’re really starting to come out of the closet. It’s a different time now.”

Next for Beckerman is “to continue doing presentations and seminars, more speaking and more education and outreach, and teaching people about manufacturing and good agricultural practices and compliance.”

She’ll bring her considerable speaking skills to MJBizCon at the Las Vegas Convention Center on November 16 for “The Future of Hemp” panel. Expect a fast-paced, good-natured presentation from an industry veteran who got her start on “Shakedown Street.”

New Legislation Aimed To Reduce Veterans Medical Marijuana Confusion

Just two days after Veteran’s day Day, Congressman Seth Moulton has introduced a flight of three bills aimed at chipping away the needless confusion of therapeutic marijuana use among veterans.

Post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, and other medical issues can be a matter of life or death. Moreover, failure of VA policy to allow physicians to openly talk about cannabis or recommend it has a deleterious effect on the doctor-patient relationship and on the well-being of our veterans.

While Rep. Moulton’s bills do not address the core issue of the inability for VA doctors to fill out state-legal medical marijuana recommendations, the mere uncertainty of VA policy when it comes to a veteran’s ability to have an honest conversation with their doctor has a deleterious effect on the doctor-patient relationship and dishonors the promise that America made to those who put on the uniform to protect our nation’s freedoms.

The three bills are as follows:

The Department of Veterans Affairs Policy for Medicinal Cannabis Use Act of 2018. This bill would amend and codify a medicinal cannabis policy the VA has but is not widely disbursed. As more veterans turn to medicinal cannabis to more effectively treat their various service- and non-service related injuries, the relationship with their healthcare providers is becoming ever more important. The VA has a policy protecting a veteran’s benefits if they discuss their medicinal cannabis use with their health care provider; however, not all healthcare providers respond in a standard way and veterans still fear and experience repercussions of some kind. This bill clarifies and codifies patients’ and healthcare providers’ roles and responsibilities in incorporating medicinal cannabis into a patient’s treatment plan and requires the policy to be prominently posted in all VA facilities.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Survey of Medicinal Cannabis Use Act of 2018. This bill would have the VA conduct a nation-wide survey of all veterans and VA healthcare providers to learn about how veterans are using medicinal cannabis. From the American Legion’s survey on medicinal cannabis, “22 percent of veterans stated they are currently using cannabis to treat a medical condition and 40 percent of caregivers stated they know a veteran who is using medical cannabis to alleviate a medical condition.” With the growing use of medicinal cannabis among veterans, the VA needs a better understanding of what veterans are doing to self-medicate various conditions.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Medicinal Cannabis Education Act of 2018. This bill would partner the VA with medical universities who have incorporated medicinal cannabis education into their curriculum to develop continuing education programs for primary healthcare providers.

Upon introduction, Rep Moulton said “Our veterans are seeking alternative options to opioids and we should be supporting their desires not to be addicted to painkillers. Let’s not kid ourselves, people are using marijuana – including our veterans. We have an obligation to regulate it and make it as safe as possible. We also have an obligation to make sure our veterans are getting the best healthcare in the world. We have a long road ahead of us until medicinal cannabis is fully researched and legal but we can take a few steps now to start figuring that out. As someone who still receives healthcare from the VA, I see no reason why veterans healthcare should be behind the eight ball. These bills are an important first step towards finding out what can be most successful as treatment options evolve and change.”

While commendable advances if passed, these bills fail to include the fix needed most swiftly of VA policy, which would be to allow VA doctors to fill out the necessary state-legal medical marijuana recommendation form in the 33 states that now have laws governing the therapeutic use of cannabis.

There are two pieces of legislation currently pending which would address that currently pending in the House and Senate. They are The Veterans Equal Access Act in the House carried by Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and The Veterans Medical Marijuana Safe Harbor Act in the Senate carried by Senators Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Brian Schatz (D-HI).

Congress: New House Rules Chairman Pledges To Allow Floor Votes On Marijuana-Related Amendments

Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern says that he will permit federal lawmakers to debate and vote on marijuana-related amendments when he assumes control of the House Rules Committee in 2019.

“Unlike my predecessor, I’m not going to block amendments for marijuana,” he said. “Citizens are passing ballot initiatives, legislatures are passing laws, and we need to respect that. Federal laws and statutes are way behind.”

Representative McGovern replaces outgoing Rules Chair Pete Sessions (R-TX), who lost his re-election bid to Democrat Colin Allred. Representative Sessions used his position as Chairman of the House Rules Committee to block House floor members from voting on over three-dozen marijuana-related amendments during his leadership tenure. His actions single-handedly killed a number of popular, bipartisan-led reforms — such as facilitating medical cannabis access to military veterans and amending federal banking laws so that licensed marijuana businesses are treated like other legal industries.

“Representative Pete Sessions was the single greatest impediment in the US House to the passage of common-sense, voter-supported marijuana law reform measures,” NORML Political Director Justin Strekal said. “His departure opens the door for the possibility of House lawmakers in 2019 enacting a number of significant, NORML-endorsed policy changes.”

Representative McGovern indicated that he would prioritize legislative measures to limit federal interference in legal marijuana states, to expand medical cannabis access for veterans, and to amend federal banking restrictions on the legal cannabis industry.

“This just seems like common-sense stuff,” McGovern said. “Especially on the issue of medical marijuana — people who are opposed to that are just on the wrong side of public opinion, overwhelmingly. It’d be nice if, every once in a while, Congress acted in a way that people wanted. I know that may seem like a radical idea, but come on.”

Freedom Leaf Dives Into the Hemp-CBD Market

Freedom Leaf Inc.’s bid to diversify into an industrial hemp cultivator, CBD producer and formulator drew support with a $3 million investment from Merida Capital Partners in October, capping off a busy year of deal-making for the Las Vegas-based company.

While Freedom Leaf (OTCQB: FRLF) has been traded on the Over-The-Counter markets as a fully reporting and audited public company for four years, the transaction with Merida Capital Partners marks the first time it has sold equity in the company to a venture capital firm. Merida Capital is not just any venture firm. It already commands a high profile in the cannabis business as a backer of KushCo Holdings Inc., New Frontier Data, Grow Generation, Emerald Scientific and many others successfully participating in the cannabis and hemp sector.

Freedom Leaf CEO Clifford J. Perry says Merida Capital’s long-term view on its investments reflects the firm’s name, taken from an area in Spain where the Romans built aqueducts that have stood for some 2,000 years: “They stay with their companies and promote acquisitions and synergy in their portfolio. So far, they’ve been tremendously successful.”

Perry likes to call Freedom Leaf the “little train that could” since it started out as a publisher of a magazine and is now branching out into hemp cultivation and full-spectrum CBD extraction businesses in a flurry of transactions.

FREEDOM LEAF’S CLIFF PERRY: “In two to three years, the market will consolidate. By then, we’ll have market penetration.”

In one of its more high-profile deals, in June, Freedom Leaf acquired a 430,000-square-foot greenhouse nursery for cultivation and production of legal industrial hemp in Valencia, Spain, including light deprivation throughout the greenhouse and a 43,000-square-foot indoor growing research facility, which Freedom Leaf operates under the name Leafceuticals Europe, S.L.U. Among its other transactions, in August, Freedom Leaf agreed to pay $2.2 million for Tierra Science Global, a health supplements firm that generated more than $500,000 in revenue in the first six months of 2018.

As part of the deal, Freedom Leaf plans to manufacture a number of hemp full-spectrum CBD oil products, including two skin serums created by Beverly Hills anti-aging practitioner Dr. Naina Sachdev. Freedom Leaf hired biomedical engineer Purdue graduate, Nicholas Shi to optimize the extraction and distillation processes of Leafceuticals Inc. Shi is focusing on improving hemp CBD oil yields, fractional distillation of other rare cannabinoids, terpenoid processing time and product quality at the Leafceuticals Inc. extraction lab in North Las Vegas.

Freedom Leaf also, in March, purchased Irie CBD, a CBD product company that generated $1.5 million in revenue in 2017, and is manufacturing products under the Hempology brand as well.

Merida Capital and its affiliates acquired $3 million worth of Freedom Leaf stock through a private investment in a public entity for a significant minority stake in the company. Merida Senior Partner David Goldburg will be joining Freedom Leaf’s board of directors as part of the deal.

That’s hemp growing at Freedom Leaf’s Leafceuticals Europe, S.L.U. property in Valencia, Spain.

Mitch Baruchowitz, managing partner at Merida Capital, says the firm was drawn to the Freedom Leaf’s acquisitions in the CBD space, among its other properties: “It seemed like they’d rolled up some interesting CBD products and brands which could be expanded quickly, including a stable consumer CBD business, Irie. Plus, they’ve made some inroads in Europe where we’re interested in making investments. We invest in companies that are growing fast. Freedom Leaf has done a good job of finding assets in a frugal and responsible manner.

“Merida’s investment is a validation of Freedom Leaf’s aggressive efforts to build a high-quality family of cannabidiol-based products, but it’s also an acknowledgement of the potential for the Valencia, Spain cultivation facility to become a significant supplier of both hemp and cannabis to European markets in the immediate future.”

Merida invested in Freedom Leaf Inc. from Merida Capital Partners LP II, which has deployed $40 million thus far since February.

To be sure, the acquisitions and a focus shift from license sales to product sales have weighed on Freedom Leaf’s bottom line. For the 12 months ended June 30, the company reported a net loss of $4.6 million, compared to a loss of $910,000 in the prior 12 months when revenue fell to $411,272 from $817,457. The company cited a decrease of license sales offset by increases in product sales. Management has indicated that its increased expenses to support its acquisitions and additional product sales already is bearing fruit in terms of increasing revenues.

But the CBD opportunity remains huge, with interest from a wide variety of industries and the expected passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which will reclassify hemp as an agricultural commodity regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

MERIDA CAPITAL’S MITCH BARUCHOWITZ: “Freedom Leaf has done a good job of finding assets in a frugal and responsible manner.”

Industrywide sales in the global industrial hemp and CBD market will total about $3.9 billion, with a compounded annual growth rate of 14% by 2025, according to estimates from Grandview Research. In the U.S., Frontier Data forecasts CBD sales will hit $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2 billion by 2022. The market for CBD, an ingredient for food, beverages, beauty and medicine, is projected to grow at a rate of 39% through 2021, according to estimates from market re-search firm Technavio.

Perry sees Freedom Leaf as a potential beneficiary from mergers and an acquisition in the CBD space with winners emerging as the industry grows. “In two to three years, the market will consolidate,” he predicts. “By then, we’ll have significant market penetration.”

Freedom Leaf continues to seek whole-sale buyers for its CBD products as it works on setting up its infrastructure and production in Spain and Nevada with backing from Merida Capital.

Perry has met with many executives and entrepreneurs that are formulators and suppliers of nutritional products to health food, big box stores and others. These companies are setting up labs around the country for CBD extraction, part of an expected wave of production. Pharmaceutical companies will also be on the hunt for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Perry said the company is in talks to potentially supply them with APIs from its European hemp facilities.

With Freedom Leaf’s roots in cannabis/hemp activism, the company is now positioned as a major player in the hemp and CBD markets. “We didn’t get into this yesterday,” Perry explains. “The secret sauce of Freedom Leaf is that we’ve become a fully vertically integrated hemp CBD company. We’re doing genetic research to develop high-CBD, low-THC strains of cannabis. We also do formulation and processing and have retail brands selling CBD products to consumers. We’re a brand you can trust.”
