SAFE Banking Passes House

SAFE Banking Passes

SAFE Banking Passes The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, sponsored by Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), currently has 206 cosponsors, including 26 Republicans. It would shield banks that take on marijuana business clients from being penalized by federal regulators. Perlmutter moved to add amendments to the legislation last week—clarifying that the protections extend to hemp and CBD businesses and prohibiting regulators from targeting certain industries such as firearms SAFE Banking Passes dealers as a higher risk for fraud—in order to bolster its GOP appeal. The SAFE Banking Act is the first piece of standalone cannabis reform legislation to get a House floor vote. Advocates and lawmakers have emphasized that this bill represents the first in a series of reform moves Congress will take, with the ultimate goal being to end federal marijuana prohibition.

“I support legislation that de-schedules marijuana federally, requires courts to expunge convictions for marijuana-related offenses, and provides assistance such as job training and reentry services for those who have been disproportionately affected by the war on drugs,” she said.

The comments come after several advocacy groups including the ACLU, Drug Policy Alliance, and Human Rights Watch sent a letter to House leadership urging a delay on the banking vote until broader reform passed.

The second-highest-ranking Democratic in the House said on Wednesday that the House should take up comprehensive marijuana legalization legislation after the passage of a bipartisan cannabis banking bill. Hours before the House voted in favor of the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act by a significant margin, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) released a statement saying that while he is “proud” to have put the bill on the floor, “I believe it does not go far enough.”

“This must be a first step toward the decriminalization and de-scheduling of marijuana, which has led to the prosecution and incarceration of far too many of our fellow Americans for possession,” he said, adding that a number of legalization bills have been introduced that could be advanced.

Waters said “I have long fought for criminal justice reform and deeply understand the need to fully address the historical racial and social inequities related to the criminalization of marijuana.

LARIBA – Sharia Finance

LARIBA – Sharia Finance

LARIBA – Sharia Finance – we hope that some of our readers enjoyed our initial attempt at explaining the basic principles of Sharia as applied to both Medical Cannabis and basic rules of finance. At the end of our article, we appealed for assistance in sourcing information about more advanced aspects of Sharia Finance. Well, one of Sean Hocking’s followers provided the next piece in the puzzle.

We went ahead and purchased The Art of RF (Riba-Free) Islamic Banking and Finance: Tools and Techniques for Community-Based Banking (Wiley Finance) from amazon.com. We had no idea what to expect when the book arrived. Well, I sat down close to a week ago in the evening and started reading. A week later, we finished reading the 483-page book, and we LARIBA - Sharia Financeare absolutely impressed by the skills of the author, Dr. Yahia Abdull-Rahman, and the concepts of RIBA-Free finance. We have always believed that an inquisitive mind and the ability to read provided the tools to learn anything. We are certainly not expert with Sharia Finance but have certainly learned quite a bit. Our intention is to share bits of what we have learned in between everything else we are doing.

LARIBA – Sharia Finance

Riba-Free (RF) banking-comes the expanded edition of the definitive resource that offers an understanding of applying Islamic banking and financial practices. No matter what your faith or religious beliefs, the book shows how to take a modern American approach to incorporate Islamic financial principles into banking and investment techniques.

The Art of RF (Riba-Free) Islamic Banking and Finance describes the emergence of a culture of Islamic banking and finance today, which is based on the real Judeo-Christian-Islamic spirit and has proven very effective when compared to 20th-century models that use financial engineering and structural techniques to circumvent the Shari’a Law. The author also reveals information about how fiat money is created, the role of the Federal Reserve, and the US banking system. Abdul-Rahman includes a wealth of real-life examples and offers an analysis of how this new brand of banking and financing yields superior results.

Offers the fundamentals of Riba-Free (RF) banking

Shows how to apply RF to everything from joint ventures and portfolio management to home mortgages and personal finance

Reveals what it takes to incorporate Shariah Law into US financial systems

Includes information on why RF banking is a socially responsible way to invest

There is a website that is coordinated with the book at lariba.com

LARIBA – Sharia Finance

that contains a wealth of resources and information, two of which deserve special mention for anyone with a desire to learn about the pragmatic aspects of Sharia Finance.

The Frequently Asked Questions [“FAQ’s] contain an amazing wealth of information.

The LARIBA Fatwa discussion is absolutely riveting and has a strong resemblance to the procedures that the Orthodox Union does in certifying that food products are properly Kosher under the rules of the Jewish faith.

They have included an Independent Sharia Auditors report which just about blew my mind…a firm of Sharia auditors based in North Carolina of all things.

LARIBA – Sharia Finance

We don’t typically like to “lift large sections of text, however, Dr. Yahia Abdul-Rahman’s explanation of the home finance model encapsulates a substantial number of critical concepts in a framework that is rather easy to understand.

Our home financing model is based on the concept of “Declining Participation in Usufruct” (DPU) (Declining Musharaka in rent). This is done as the basis for calculating the monthly payment and marking the value of the property to the market using actual market rental values of similar properties in the same neighborhood. The uniqueness of the LARIBA model is that we DO NOT RENT MONEY. Instead, we approach each transaction as an investment. The market rental value of the property financed determines attractiveness as an investment. If the house is overpriced, the model will flag this fact to the homebuyer in order to go back to renegotiate a lower price or to wait until an existing market “bubble” is burst.

It is important to note that each property like a car, a home, a commercial building has two rights of ownership. The first is the ownership of title to the property called “Milkul Raqabah” (the ownership of the neck). The other right is the right to use the property (Haqul Manfa’aa – the usufruct). For example, one can own a car or a house but he or she can rent out the right to use the car or the house by leasing it.

LARIBA conceptually purchases the property jointly with the client. LARIBA would authorize the client to act as its agent (wakeel) to select, negotiate the price of, and purchase the Property.

LARIBA authorizes the client to undertake the purchase of the property from the vendor and record the title (register it) directly into his or her name. The client becomes the owner of title to the house or owner of Milkul Raqabah. LARIBA retains its share of the usufruct – Haqul Manfa’aa.

Out of their own free will, the client offers to buy and LARIBA accepts to sell its share/units immediately at the same price. The value of the sale is paid in monthly installments over a period of time up to 30 years without adding any interest. The monthly payment is called REPAYMENT OF CAPITAL (“RofC” – pronounced rofsee).

LARIBA and Client agree to perfect a lien [1] (implied co-ownership) on the property in favor of LARIBA. LARIBA agrees with the client to share in the income realized from the use of the house based on the actual rental value as measured in the market. With this lien, the client and LARIBA share the income from the lease of the property proportionately between them. This income is called Return on Capital “RonC” -pronounced “ronsee”. As the client pays back his or her “Riba Free Loan – dayn”, this progressively reduces LARIBA’s share in the usufruct (Haqul Manfa’aa) as well as increases the client’s share gradually to reach 100% at the end of the Financing Period.

LARIBA – Sharia Finance

In order to make sure that money is not rented at the interest rate of the day which is RIBA, we research the actual market fair rental value of the property in its geographic location. The client and LARIBA officer – each – research the market to find how much a similar property leases for in the same market of the property to be financed and present three documented estimates each (a total of six estimates). Sources of rental value estimates include leasing agents, real estate brokers, Newspaper advertisements and online resources. The goal is to obtain the rental value, per square foot based on similar properties. The client and LARIBA compare their findings and agree on a rental value to be used in our proprietary model.

The monthly payment paid by the client over the financing period of up to 30 years consists of a portion of the unpaid Riba Free loan (dayn) – RofC and an amount equal to LARIBA’s proportional share of the agreed-upon rental value – RonC. Our proprietary model does the arithmetic using the proprietary Riba Free algorithm.

The LARIBA Computer Model inputs are: the property value, amount to be financed, the number of years to pay back and the monthly rental value obtained from the market. The unknown here is the Rate of Return on Investment – ROI. This contrasts with riba-based banks where they use an interest (riba)-based amortization computer program. They input: the amount to be financed, the number of years to pay back and the rent of money (interest) and the unknown is the monthly payment.

LARIBA – Sharia Finance

The LARIBA Model analyzes the Rate of Return on Investment in the property. There are three possible outcomes from this analysis of the level of the ROI. These are:

If the ROI is higher than the return expected by our investors. LARIBA decides to finance and reduces the rent in order to make the monthly payment compete with Riba-based banks.

If the ROI is much lower than what our investors are expecting (say 2% while the competing investments yield 6%), LARIBA declines the investment and the financing is denied. This has been the main reason for LARIBA to raise the red flag for many of our customers in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, Washington DC and parts of California. We have saved many of our applicants from participating in the 2008 real estate bubble.

If the ROI is marginally lower than the expected return by our investors (say 5% and our investors expect 6%), LARIBA advises the client to renegotiate the price lower. We have done that a few times.

Upon full Repayment of Capital, LARIBA will release its lien back to the Client thus signaling the end of the transaction.

In order to protect our clients in case of adverse situations against the possibility of excessive legal fees, unusual language in the contracts that make them irregular and difficult to pursue legally, and the putting of name of company on title with client, LARIBA uses standard industry and regulatory sanctioned contracts and uses a rider called the LARIBA Agreement which describes the process followed above and the rental value used as the basis for the payment calculations.

Their offfices are located in Whittier, California, and you can bet we are going to pay them a visit sooner than later. It strikes us that 1,500 words on this topic is more than sufficient…there will be additional articles. We have certainly gained both knowledge of and respect for Islamic Banking principles.

A final thought, I have been in professional practice for almost 39 years. For me to be able to pick up a book and learn the principles of a completely different set of rules…reinforces what the difference between a professional education that comes with the expectation of a lifetime of learning vs. becoming a mechanic.

California Uses ACID – Illegal Grows

California Uses ACID – Illegal Grows

California Uses ACID – the Califonia Bureau of Cannabis Control [“BCC”], California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife [“CDFW”], California Dept. of Food & Agriculture [“CDFA”] Cal Cannabis Division, and the US Dept. of Justice – Drug Enforcement Agency [“DEA”] unveiled a heretofore “Top secret” Program. Avian Cannabis Interdiction & Destruction [“ACID”] is Avian Cannabis Interdiction Destructiona quite novel program that utilizes highly trained flightless birds in connection with it cannabis interdiction programs.

Specifically, they have deployed Cassowary, Emu, and Ostriches [collectively “CEO’] in a novel approach to illegal cannabis destruction. These large flightless birds have the no carbon footprint, can operate in just about any terrain including hills and mountains with little difficulty and serve a variety of functions. A spokesperson for ACID explained that with reports of the deployment of the California National Guard in connection with the destruction California Uses ACIDof illegal grows being described as military exercises on the civilian population of California the authorities decided to roll out the new program as they are certain that the credibility of people that they were attacked by, and their cannabis grow destroyed by giant birds would be almost nil.

The spokesperson then began a discussion of the various species of birds, starting with the Cassowary noting that it was akin to a Cobra or Apache attack helicopter due to its five-inch dagger-like claws, incredibly mean-spirited temper and ability to jump six feet into the air and run thirty miles an hour. Cassowary have killed humans with their kicking attacks. 

Cassowaries feed mainly on fruit, although all species are truly omnivorous and will take a range of other plant food, including shoots and grass seeds, in addition to fungi, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. Cassowaries are very wary of humans, but if provoked they are capable of inflicting serious injuries, occasionally fatal, to dogs and people. It is often called “the world’s most dangerous bird“.

California Uses ACID – Illegal Grows

The ACID program has trained a number of deputies and ostriches a fast response avian cavalry where small groups of deputies armed with automatic rifles can ride the ostriches in small rapid response unit to be able to reinforce other ACID activities.California Uses ACID Imagine the sight of a dozen highly armed tactical appearing on the horizon mounted on ostriches moving towards an illegal grow.

An ostrich can carry a human ride that weighs less than 170 lbs. Ostrich riding is a big thing in South Africa, but the Association of British Travel Agents say that tour agencies should not offer this. The skeleton of the ostrich is not designed to support a human’s weight, nor is it safe for humans to come close to these animals, as they can viciously attack.

A frightened ostrich can achieve a speed of 72.5 kilometers (45 miles) per hour. If cornered, it can deliver dangerous kicks capable of killing lions and other large predators. Deaths from kicks and slashes are rare, with most attacks resulting from humans provoking the birds. An ostrich’s powerful, long legs can cover 10 to 16 feet in a single stride. These legs can also be formidable weapons. Ostrich kicks can kill a human or a potential predator like a lion. Each two-toed foot has a long, sharp claw.

The ACID program has deployed emu as pack animals which are used to transport cannabis plants which have been cut down to locations where destruction takes place.

California Uses ACID – Illegal Grows

The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the second-largest living bird by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia where it is the largest native bird and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius. The emu’s range covers most of mainland Australia, but the Tasmanian, Kangaroo Island and King Island subspecies became extinct after the European settlement of Australia in 1788. The bird is sufficiently common for it to be rated as a least-concern species.

Breeding takes place in May and June, and fighting among females for a mate is common. Females can mate several times and lay several clutches of eggs in one season. The male does the incubation; during this process, he hardly eats or drinks and loses a significant amount of weight. The eggs hatch after around eight weeks and the young are nurtured by their fathers. They reach full size after around six months but can remain as a family unit until the next breeding season.

Cassowary – Emu – Ostrich

Although flightless, emus have vestigial wings, the wing chord measuring around 20 cm (8 in), and each wing having a small claw at the tip. California Uses ACIDEmus flap their wings when running, perhaps as a means of stabilizing themselves when moving fast. They have long necks and legs and can run at speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph) due to their highly specialized pelvic limb musculature. Their feet have only three toes and a similarly reduced number of bones and associated foot muscles; emus are unique among birds in that their gastrocnemius muscles in the back of the lower legs have four bellies instead of the usual three.

The pelvic limb muscles of emus contribute a similar proportion of the total body mass as do the flight muscles of flying birds. When walking, the emu takes strides of about 100 cm (3.3 ft), but at full gallop, a stride can be as long as 275 cm (9 ft). Its legs are devoid of feathers and underneath its feet are thick cushioned pads. Like the cassowary, the emu has sharp claws on its toes which are its major defensive attribute, and are used in combat to inflict wounds on opponents by kicking. The toe and claw total 15 cm (6 in) in length. The bill is quite small, measuring 5.6 to 6.7 cm (2.2 to 2.6 in), and is soft, being adapted for grazing. Emus have good eyesight and hearing, which allows them to detect threats at some distance.

California Uses ACID – Illegal Grows

The program’s techniques are evolving, and ACID program staff was rather tight-lipped Avian Cannabis Interdiction Destructionabout their deployment. However, we did spot a large number of armored horse trailers that seem to be being used to transport the Avian attack creatures.

Rumor has it that the ACID Unit is about to deploy to Oakland for a series of raids in conjunction with local sheriff’s departments in Operation Flying Bird Shit. If anyone notices giant birds working in conjunction with local law enforcement to destroy cannabis grows please take photos or video and get to us as soon as you can. This should be about as believable as the Riverside County Sheriff using tanks.

CBD -THC – Alternative Delivery

CBD -THC – Alternative Delivery

CBD -THC – Alternative Delivery
Would you knowingly put THC and topical capsaicin into your ass?

CBD -THC – Alternative Delivery – we have spoken to a number of start-up businesses about the potential medical uses of cannabis in myriad from. Perhaps the most exciting advance doesn’t involve the cannabis plant, rather it involves “metered dosing” or the ability to provide a delivery system of the active ingredients in cannabis in a specified quantity over a specified time period [stated another way, “how much – how fast”]. The development of an accurate and reliable delivery vector is a critical step for cannabis components to be accepted by the wider community as “medicine”.

We were very impressed by Israeli start-up Syqe Medical which has focused on the reality that “doctors don’t prescribe plants” and have what they do rooted in science. Syqe Medical was founded in 2011 in order to develop a measurable and repeatable method of administering medical cannabis. The company is trying to solve the main problem in the sector – on the one hand, a large proportion of the researchers and doctors believe that all of the cannabis elements work better together than a single element from the plant that can be isolated and produced synthetically. On the other hand, when a whole plant is involved, it is very difficult to repeatedly administer the same precise dosage of the compound. An article where Perry Davidson, Syqe CEO was interviewed offer some insights:

“According to Davidson, Syqe Medical has several basic principles. We don’t manipulate the raw plant; we administer the extract through inhalation because this is the right way in which the product has been consumed for years by 90% of users. The dosage has to be measurable because when you don’t know the dosage of the active ingredients being given to the patient, no medical discourse about the product can take place and doctors are unwilling to deal with this.

A doctor wants to be a scientist, adds Syqe Medical executive medical chairperson and former Minister of Health director-general Dr. Eytan Hyam. He wants to know how the drug works, its side effects, the effect of a change in the dosage, and the product’s long-term effect. When you can’t describe these things, doctors steer clear of the product.

The unique problem with cannabis, in contrast to other medicinal plants, is that the active ingredient is not spread around the plant uniformly; it is in pockets called trichomas. If you grind them up into powder, you burst the trichoma and oxidation of the plant begins. We like the fact that in some of its strains, the product has a psychoactive effect. Among other things, that’s important for treating pain. We want to be capable of quantifying this psychoactive effect, control it, and not eliminate it.” [1]

Syqe’s innovation is a combined focus on the medicine in cannabis and the delivery system for getting the medication into the patient. They discovered that the product has to be simple to use because some of the patients are already past their cognitive peaks. What restarts the mechanism is the breathing itself, and after exactly two seconds, access to the ingredient is blocked and a route for breathing air is opened. When the patient feels the air, he immediately realizes that the dose is used up. It’s very instinctive. This pulse also pushes the vapor inside and does not allow it to remain in the throat. In a clinical trial by the company that ended in 2014, it showed that the main active ingredients in cannabis reaching the patients’ bloodstream are indeed measurable.

We happened upon an article [2] about suppositories expecting humor and found an incredibly well-written article that explained the reasons of using suppositories as the delivery vector for cannabis and articulated how it works to get the medicine into the patient. The article describes the delivery mechanism and considerations in the use of suppositories.

Of the various ways to consume cannabis, using a suppository is probably the least popular method of ingestion. Cannabis suppositories, however, are an extremely beneficial method of delivery, whether inserted anally or vaginally. Rectal suppositories are not necessarily compatible with the sensitive and specific area of the vagina, which is why vaginal cannabis suppositories typically contain their own special carrier (and deserve their own set of instructions to be followed carefully).

Cannabis suppositories typically have a conical shape that is designed to be interested in the rectum. The most common rectal cannabis suppositories are typically 2 grams and are roughly 2.5cm long. They are essentially made from cocoa butter and a minute amount of shea butter or coconut oil, which is then mixed with cannabis extract that contains THC and/or  CBD extract.

Cannabis suppositories have a high absorption rate and work quickly to provide relief patients need. When suppositories are inserted into the body, the healing compounds within become absorbed by internal cellular walls and mucous membranes. This allows these compounds to spread quickly to nearby organs and rapidly enter into the bloodstream. Suppositories are a great way to reduce the psychoactive effects of THC, while still reaping the medical benefits the plant contains. Many medical marijuana patients that use high doses of THC find that anal insertion helps mitigate the “high” associated with THC.

When administered rectally, the plant medicine directly enters the bloodstream through the cell walls and goes directly into the body, which is quickly distributed through the vascular system. It is a direct application to the bloodstream, bypassing the liver. The liver is the key to getting high. THC travels through the liver to the brain to induce a head high. When smoked, it travels through the lungs to the villi, then on to the liver. When taking it orally, it makes its way to the liver through digestion. This method takes the longest because of the digestive process and the amount of travel it takes to get to the brain. In the brain, THC interacts with nerve receptors, causing euphoria. The bottom line: Cannabis suppositories allow for larger doses of plant medicine without the head high versus smoking and ingesting orally.

There are several people that can benefit from cannabis suppositories, and for many patients, they make a perfect choice. Anyone who cannot swallow pills (for whatever reason) can benefit from a suppository. Suppositories are also beneficial for anyone who can’t swallow periods, such as those who have experienced a stroke or other diseases such as, Parkinson’s, ALS, or multiple sclerosis. Suppositories have also been shown to be excellent for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Extreme nausea can make it impossible to hold down and digest an edible. Anal suppositories are also an ideal option for people who undergo surgery that is not permitted to eat before or after an operation takes place.

Finally, we happened up an article [3] about a clinical trial being conducted by the National Institutes of Health that involved the use of topical capsaicin for a novel treatment of a rare disease. We have to admit that it took several minutes to properly wrap our heads around the premise of the article. Topical Capsaicin used on the body causes a sensation of heat that activates certain nerve cells. With regular use of capsaicin, this heating effect reduces the amount of substance P, a chemical that acts as a pain messenger in the body. The feeling can reach the level of an intense burning sensation at initial application, Given what most people have learned about the pain discomfort of a bowel movement after ingesting food with high levels of capsaicin it is a bit difficult to fathom that a person would choose to use a suppository that contained capsaicin.

However, the study mentioned in the article is unequivocal in concluding about the favorable outcomes achieved by the approach, we came away from our research wondering about the potential for the development of suppositories that combined the efficient delivery of THC into a patient’s bloodstream combined with the localized pain reduction from the capsaicin. [Note to self  here is a reason why you are a tax practitioner and NOT involved with medical research.]

Facebook Censorship Cannabis Continues

Facebook Censorship Cannabis Continues

Facebook Censorship Cannabis Continues – Facebook announces an end to the shadow banning and muzzling of the cannabis industry. WELL FACEBOOK IS FULL OF SHIT…here we go, we published this article a couple of days ago. Paying Attention – Receipts? The first paragraph of the piece is

“Paying Attention – Receipts? – we are somewhat baffled and concerned having published four posts that contain over 12,000 words on a topic that is of critical importance to everyone that is involved in the “touch the plant”Facebook Censorship Cannabis Continues part of the legal cannabis industry in California. The subject is receipts and the information contained on them. It may not seem all that significant, but it has the potential to cause an incredible amount of pain and even displacement within the industry. Our observation is that very few of the receipts we have seen…whether we are talking about the receipts that cultivators get from purchasers of flower and trim to the simple receipts that retail customers receive from a dispensary purchase of an eighth have contained insufficient or incorrect information, and that is a problem, actually it is a time bomb waiting to explode.”

We would certainly assert that the post is very strongly worded reminder to Distributors and Dispensaries in California that they had better get their asses in gear and man up on their responsibilities for the remittance of Cannabis Cultivation Tax [“CCT”], Cannabis Excise Tax [“CET”] and Sales Tax that they owe to the California Dept. of Tax and Fee Administration [“CDTFA”].

We highlighted the importance of providing receipts to anyone that a cannabis company does business with that reports out all of the different taxes paid and provides specific identifiers for the business.

So after completing the posting of the article, we decided to spend some advertising $$ and attempted to “boost” the post. We Facebook responded with this. There is only one conclusion we can come to…FACEBOOK IS FULL OF SHIT, and the review was done by machine

Facebook Censorship Cannabis Continues

 

We appealed and requested a manual review.

Here is the appeal we submitted and the response we received,…it goes back and forth a number of times.

Facebook Get Your Shit Together

Facebook Censorship Cannabis Continues

B

There you have everyone…and I have a substantial amount of experience in dealing with this automated bullshit…next step is contacting someone within Facebook’s Legal Dept. and asking them if they really want to litigate this one.  We have taken them to Court three times before and as if a miracle has occurred they change their minds and allow the post to be boosted. What the hell we are CPA’s sell the service of assisting with taxes. CDTFA has a Cannabis Page on Facebook.

We aren’t asking for much, merely that if Facebook is serious about permitting the Cannabis industry advertising, then HEADS NEED TO COME OUT OF BUTTHOLES, SHIT CLEANED OUT OF EARS, and they need to permit businesses to advertise without going through an encounter with Torqumada

Meet HealthEuropa.eu

Meet HealthEuropa.eu

Meet HealthEuropa.eu – the legalization of medical cannabis is a phenomenon that isn’t limited to California, the US, or North America. We are witnessing a global phenomenon. This morning, I had the pleasure of meeting Matthew Swindells, the Head of European Projects for Health Europa 

He explains that they provide information for the use of the European Commission, European Government Departments and industry sectors for Research, Development & Technology across Healthcare and Medicine. We have three brands, Health Europa, Government Europa & SciTech Europa, all extremely popular. I am the head of the strategy for all three brands.

We are just in the process finalizing the Health Europa publication for February 2019 which will be Issue number 8 which will be focussing on the European strategy and future funding programs for the legalization of medicinal cannabis for European countries by 2022. We have been working on this since February 2018 ready for February 2019.

We will be focussing on a number of Europe’s key initiatives and working with some of Europe’s leading groups and government departments, research groups, pharma based Medical Cannabis companies and regulatory bodies to really bridge the gap in the sharing of information to educate key stakeholders, opinion leaders on the importance of legalisation of medical cannabis and the benefits of this for certain conditions.

We will be looking at research and development into this, looking at public health and safety for medical cannabis, focussing on illnesses that this can have a huge effect on as well as looking at industry standards, it is going to be huge.

We will be having a country focus on the UK, Israel, Germany, Greece & Denmark as European leaders in the legalization process of medicinal cannabis and as North America is a global leader in the pharma and research side of this sector, we will be focussing on a North American & European collaborations within this sector and we are working with some of North America’s leading companies from this sector and research institutes focussing on this subject to really create stronger links with European partners.

We will also be focussing on some of Europe’s leading research & development programs, looking a clinical trials with different areas of medical cannabis and cannabis oils as well as all other areas as discussed, we will be having in-depth features on a number of areas from with government departments with some of Europe’s leading associations. We have also visited numerous conferences over the past ten months also which has been a great experience.

We will be having some wonderful authors in the book and we including the European Commission, associations, foundations, federations, alliances and patient case studies as said above, Government Departments, key leaders in this field, case studies, it is going to be great. The distribution is 42,687 copies across 32 countries to key policymakers, stakeholders and key decision makers across the European and Global Medical Cannabis arenas. It has been dubbed by many as a Medical Cannabis Bible for Europe so we are very excited about it.

If any of your readers or companies you might think could benefit from this and exposure within the European market at a crucial time, please have them email me at [email protected] or call me directly on 01144 1260 273802 before next Thursday 20th of December, when this is the close date of the publication as it will be distributed on the 4th of February 2019. 

Please see a link to our previous edition of the Health Europa publication published in November 2018 which focussed on other Healthcare and medical topics but on page 180 there was a taster of the medical cannabis focus in February 2019.
