Ground floor Cannabis opportunities in ARK-LA-TEX Letter from the Publisher Dear Reader, Thank you for picking up the November issue of the Emerald Magazine. This month, we shift our focus to one of the industry’s largest demographics, senior citizens. Since the 1950s, people have been living longer, better and happier lives than ever before. Many in the baby boomer generation are reaching a pivotal age when medication and quality of life become important factors. With the pharmaceutical industry playing a primary role in the opioid crisis in the United States, cannabis has brought along alternative relief for many of the ailments people face. The number of cannabis users over age 50 has nearly doubled in the last decade, making it undeniable that senior citizens play a major role in this emerging market. This month, we explore organizations such as Octavia Wellness, which pro- vides information and resources for seniors who are newly exploring their options. From all of us at the Emerald, we wish you a safe and happy fall season. Join us in December for our Outsider Issue, where we will meet industry leaders who have stepped out of their lane for the greater good. High Regards, Christina E.

Moro, 5 00185 ROMA Si prega di citare così:Marco Rossi (2020), “The cannabis social market”, Public Finance ResearchPapers, Istituto di Economia e Finanza, DIGEF, Sapienza University of Rome, n. 43 (https://www.dsge.uniroma1.it/pubblicazioni/istituto- economia-e-finanza/public-finance-research-papers). 2 E-PFRP N. 43 Marco Rossi The cannabis social market 3 E-PFRP N. 43 Introduction Here, we define the market where the traders are friends, and the transactions are minimally commercially oriented, as the “cannabis social market”. In order to define the cannabis “social market”, we add the study of the cannabis “social demand” to what has been already defined in the literature as “social supply” (Hough et al. 2003). We think that the study of the demand side is very important because in this market it looks like that trading is demand-driven, more than profit- oriented. Actually, the main (alleged) motivation for selling cannabis to a friend is to satisfy his need (“to help out a friend”), more than to gain a monetary profit. In the cannabis social market, the short side of the market is the demand side, that is the quantity traded is the quantity demanded by consumers. Instead, street dealers supply is profit-oriented, therefore the street dealers’ commercial attitude is more aggressive: they are named “pushers” because they try to motivate potential buyers.

  • Has the Marijuana Classification Under the Controlled Substances Act Outlived Its Definition?
    Has the Marijuana Classification Under the Controlled Substances Act Outlived Its Definition? JUDGE MARY A. CELESTE & MELIA THOMPSON-DUDIAK† I. INTRODUCTION Under the Control Substances Act (“CSA”), marijuana is currently scheduled as an “I” drug.1 In a classification of “V” schedules, “I” is considered the most dangerous because it is deemed to have a “high potential for abuse” and “no medical value.”2 It ranks alongside other substances such as heroin and phencyclidine (“PCP”), thereby signifying that the federal government considers marijuana more dangerous than cocaine (Schedule II) and Xanax (Schedule IV).3 According to the CSA, any violation of a substance listed as a schedule “I” drug is subject to the harshest penalties.4 Accordingly, using, manufacturing, importing, or distributing marijuana could result in various penalties.5 Individuals involved in marijuana businesses can receive up to five years in prison and simple possession with no intent to distribute is a misdemeanor with fines ranging from $250,000 to $1 million,6 or punishable by up to one year in prison and a minimum fine † Judge Mary A. Celeste (ret.) sat on the Denver County Court bench 2000-2015. She was the Presiding Judge 2009-10 and the co-founder of the Denver County Court Sobriety Court. She is currently a law school professor teaching Marijuana and the Law at California Western School of Law. She is a national expert and speaker on the topic of marijuana and has also written on the topic. Please visit her website at judgemaryceleste.com for more information.

  • Il Mercato Sociale Della Cannabis: Un'analisi Economica
    ISSN 2385-2755 DiSSE Working papers [online] Il mercato sociale della cannabis: un’analisi economica Marco Rossi N. 13/2020 SAPIENZA - UNIVERSITY OF ROME P.le Aldo Moro n.5 – 00185 Roma T(+39) 0649910563 CF80209930587 – P.IVA 02133771002 Il mercato sociale della cannabis: un’analisi economica. Marco Rossi Dipartimento di Scienze Sociali ed Economiche (Disse); Facoltà di Scienze Politiche, Sociologia e Comunicazione; Università la Sapienza, Roma. [email protected] Abstract In questo saggio definiamo “mercato sociale della cannabis” l’istituzione in cui avvengono scambi di cannabis tra amici “marginalmente orientati al profitto”. Mentre l’offerta “sociale” di cannabis è già stata studiata in letteratura, in questo saggio si analizza il lato della domanda di questo mercato. Pertanto, si sviluppa un modello teorico del mercato sociale della cannabis, basato sull’ipotesi che le transazioni siano investimenti in uno specifico capitale sociale. Inoltre, altre ipotesi circa le caratteristiche distintive di questa istituzione sono derivate da una analisi comparata con il mercato dei venditori professionisti. In particolare, l’ipotesi dell’esistenza di una correlazione positiva tra grado di integrazione sociale e frequentazione del mercato sociale è empiricamente verificata,grazie ad una indagine su un campione di consumatori. Infine, sulla base di un approccio costi-benefici, si deriva una implicazione normativa di questo modello. Abstract We define the market where the traders are friends, and the transactions are minimally commercially oriented, as the “cannabis social market”. Therefore, we add the study of the social cannabis demand to the “cannabis social supply”, already defined in the literature. In our theoretical model, transactions in the cannabis social market are investments in a specific social capital, and the distinctive features of this institution are derived by comparison with street dealing.

  • Hemp As an Agricultural Commodity
    Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Renée Johnson Specialist in Agricultural Policy June 22, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32725 Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Summary Industrial hemp is an agricultural commodity that is cultivated for use in the production of a wide range of products, including foods and beverages, cosmetics and personal care products, nutritional supplements, fabrics and textiles, yarns and spun fibers, paper, construction and insulation materials, and other manufactured goods. Hemp can be grown as a fiber, seed, or other dual-purpose crop. However, hemp is also from the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa, as marijuana. As a result, production in the United States is restricted due to hemp’s association with marijuana, and the U.S. market is largely dependent on imports, both as finished hemp-containing products and as ingredients for use in further processing (mostly from Canada and China). Current industry estimates report U.S. hemp product sales at nearly $700 million annually. In the early 1990s there was a sustained resurgence of interest to allow for commercial hemp cultivation in the United States. Several states conducted economic or market studies and initiated or enacted legislation to expand state-level resources and production. Congress made significant changes to federal policies regarding hemp in the 2014 farm bill (Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79, §7606). The 2014 farm bill provided that certain research institutions and state departments of agriculture may grow hemp under an agricultural pilot program. The bill further established a statutory definition for industrial hemp as “the plant Cannabis sativa L.
