Minorities for Medical Marijuana

Dr. Lance McCarthy works as a board advisor for Minorities for Medical Marijuana, Inc. M4MM is a non profit organization with its corporate office based in Orlando Florida. It was established to focus on on providing advocacy, outreach, research, and training as it relates to the business, social reform, public policy, and health /wellness in the cannabis industry.  They actively connect people to opportunities in the marijuana industry for minorities.  The difficulty in the industry has always been the lack of access to capital, even when one has the skill set and is able to work in the industry.  M4MM is backed by many corporate donors as it facilitates progress and change, but disparities in the legal system and other challenges reveal how we need to make more inroads to open doors.  Government support happens on the state level, not federal, but many states give extra benefits to those who have a social equity or minority partner in their application.   Knowing the playing field and catting through the red tape help reveal opportunities that many do not know exist.  That is where M4MM clears the smoke.

Market Analysis

John Kagia joins us from New Frontier Data, a leading research organization, as we continue our Discovery, Engage & Compete series into the world of cannabis.  What can intelligence and analysis do in the cannabis market.  Mr. Kagia tells us how product development is changing in the cannabis market.  Reasearch shows that consumers are not just interested in raw materials, such as cannabis flour, for making marijuana-based baking and such.Now, more buyers are interested in finished, premade goods, so they don’t have to do the work.  Dispensaries are changing the product placement in their show rooms to put raw materials and the back, and new finish goods out in front.  This demand is expanding the product base lines and marketing approaches.  So, it seems, it is time to expand thinking in the marketplace.

Pandemic Patterns

Charles Butler ​is a talk show host, based in Chicago, in the third largest market in America. His podcast program, ‘The Reality Check with Charles Butler’, addresses cultural issues and current topics of interest.  Now that the pandemic has spread around the world, we are seeing patterns in how is spread across the nation.  Consequently, cultural differences have apparently played a role in the susceptibility to this contagion.  African American communities tend to have a more social closeness in communal gatherings which are often more intimate than many European American activities.  Unfortunately, closeness in family gatherings and social affairs hastens the spread of the disease.  Statistics show that Africans Americans have be hard hit by the pandemic because of this and other reasons.  We focus on these issues as all Americans must continue to modify habits and not get over confident.

The Problems of Legalization

Andrew Kline is the Director of Public Policy for the National Cannabis Industry Association.  Burgeoning freedom for cannabis created confusion in legal states over regulating, who is going to regulate and how to handle licensing.  At the same time, other new problems developed as the illegal marketing of cannabis continued even after legal sales were open.  Those who market illegally do not have to comply with to the same production standards and rules as the legal producers.  Neither do they have to pay for the licensing and the taxes imposed on the legal trade.  These issues and more are examined in this conversation now that the industry is forced address in them in afterthought because they were not considered before they arose.  While the cannabis market can follow some traditional business models, it has challenges that are found in no other industry.

This is a monumental and history changing proposal in the works that could change the world in some ways.

What About Patients’ Rights in New Legislation?

Dr. Jordan Tishler addresses the cannabis bill that was drafted by Senators Schumer, Wyden and Booker.  Nowhere in the entire draft of this bill are patient’s rights even mentioned.  Dr. Tishler offers the perspective that legalization of cannabis should include some provisions for the proper care of people who are actually sick and whose needs are not well served by a purely recreational oriented market.  With a proposal as sweeping as this, now is the time to consider all of the needs and ramifications.

Future Outlook on Legislation

Morgan Fox looks ahead on the issue of the Schumer/Wyden/Booker bill draft for marijuana legalization.  The prospects for this becoming a bill passed by Congress is a real possibility in his opinion.   Prevailing winds suggest that enough Republicans in the Senate may come on board for this, and not too many Democrats will resist.  Passage of this bill will clear the way for bringing up the Safe Banking Act which will greatly ease strain on businesses that needs to properly and legally manage their earnings.   Hear a ‘finger on the pulse’ view from someone who always has an inside perspective.

The Future of Dispensaries

Michael J. Regan & Colin-Ferrian join us from MJResearchCo which conducts investment analysis and valuation of the cannabis industry.  Prior to the pandemic, the model used for building a dispensary was the Apple store.  Depending on the size of sophistication of these dispensaries, one could spend anywhere from one half million to a million dollars on construction.  However, in the pandemic, cannabis was determined to be an essential product in some areas, so buying methods and delivery systems of cannabis suddenly changed.  Home delivery quickly became a huge business in California and Colorado.   Other states may follow.  They may also develop online purchasing and drone delivery.   What does this mean for the brick and mortar store and conventional dispensaries?

Legalization Pioneer and Martyr Eddy Lepp

Eddy Lepp is on the ‘Mount Rushmore’ of legalization pioneers. If you are one of the many who enjoy recreational marijuana in 17 U.S. states and medical marijuana in 37 American states, then you owe a huge debt of gratitude to an iconic figure in the movement, Eddy Lepp. Despite having a body now riddled with the cancer he has fought, Mr. Lepp (joined by his wife Sandra) speaks candidly with our correspondent Rich Walcoff in what may be his last interview.

He tells the heroic journey he went through that began with helping someone in need by providing them with medicinal marijuana.

This led to a vast grow in response to the need and demand of those around him. This also led to his arrest and incarceration with a 10-year sentence.

Although he was offered no jail time in return for turning in his buddies, Eddy Lepp chose instead to serve almost 9 years of his sentence.

Nonetheless, conviction by the state could not match the convictions of a true pioneer who helped pave the way for the legalization we see today. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) called him a ‘marijuana martyr’. Numerous law enforcement figures, including those on the prosecution side, now lament the treatment that Mr. Lepp received. In the end, Eddy Lepp’s dedication and determination was one of the keys that turned the legal battle of legalization in a new direction.

Cultivation Tips: What You Don’t Know

Ryan Douglas authored ‘From Seeds to Success: How to Launch a Great Cannabis Cultivation Business in Record Time.’ This revealing work shows how the business model for cannabis dispensaries has changed. Now, the better profitability lies in cultivation. The cost of building dispensaries averages a half million to a million dollars, and some of these expensive endeavors would up being sold at a loss by to the owners. Educated consumers are now researching product on their own without turning to dispensaries to help them make up their mind. Mr. Ryan points out that there is a plethora of literature on how to grow cannabis, but very little to nothing that spoke to any industry on how to lay down a clear path for planning and launching cannabis cultivation. His book provides a step by step method for researching, planning, raising funds, designing, launching and expanding a successful cultivation business with a goal of coming to market as quickly as possible.

Investing in Cannabis Equity

Michael J. Regan is a generalist equity analyst for consumer durables & cyclicals, industrials, chemicals, aerospace, media, telecom, tech, and REITs.  Shortly after a cannabis boom in the market, we found that cannabis had not done as well as the broader market indexes.  Now the market is changing again.  That leaves, the question, if cannabis is not in one’s portfolio, where should one be buying?   Mr. Regan explains why the US operators are more attractive than the Canadian operators at this point.  New investors tend to lump the entire traded sector into one, but cannabis in general has sub-markets.  This and other observations bring light to things that investors often do not discover until after they are in the market.  Listen in!  Certainly, we need to maintain our state of being psychologically.  Mr. Regan addresses these issues point by point.  What can you do for yourself and your children?  Even more important than this is – what should we do for our physical health?  Easy to overlook basics are ever more important now.  Listen to a good doseof common sense mixed with detailed research as you contemplate your defense and wellbeing in the days ahead.

Federal Declassification Laws – What’s Happening There?

Morgan Fox is the Media Relations Director for the National Cannabis Industry Association.  As such, he has his finger on the pulse of what’s happening with proposed and pending legislation regarding cannabis.  Rapid change is in the works for declassifying cannabis at the federal law.  Cannabis is still a ‘Schedule 1’ drug under federal law which makes violation a serious charge.  Conflicting with that standing law is the fact that so many states have legalized medical and even recreational use of marijuana.  The new administration seems favorable toward changing this, and it has a like-party Congress that could back up any move in that direction and new bills are on the way.  Mr. Fox brings us the latest on what is happening in these exciting potential changes in our near future.
