DLA Piper Opens an International Cannabis Law Practice

(olive-wolverine-471793.hostingersite.com)(March 13, 2020)–No one can ignore the growth, size, and importance of the global cannabis industry anymore, especially when it comes to the medical cannabis market. Scientists keep on proving the health benefits of cannabis use, thus creating entirely new types of alternative treatments. That is the reason why a lot of companies and startups start to invest in the industry.

One of them is DLA Piper.

DLA Piper

, one of the biggest and well-known law firms in the world, has started an international cannabis practice with a team that will comprise more than 70 lawyers. They will be operating in more than 15 countries across Europe, Australasia, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The decision came after closing a large number of deals that brought the firm over $8 billion.

The team will be led from Canada by Toronto based partner Robert Fonn and from England by London based senior associate Dylan Kennett.

DLA Piper’s life sciences sector team is one of the biggest of any law firm. Considering that the

cannabis industry

has become one of the fastest-growing ones, it is no wonder that one of the largest law firms wants to take advantage of it.

DLA Piper will continue advising on a range of legal matters in the cannabis industry, including the changing regulatory environment around the world, thus helping its clients understand and keep up with all legislative regimes in the growing industry. It will also focus on the medicinal products market, publicly acknowledging the proven benefits of cannabis and supporting further research.

It is expected that more and more companies and brands from all industries will follow in its footsteps. This is inspired by the predictions for the cannabis industry for the next decade. It appears that Europe has the potential to become a market leader, and everyone is watching closely.

Let us take a look at some predictions.

According to some estimates, spending on legal cannabis globally will reach $66.3 billion by 2025. The recreational cannabis market will cover 67% of the spending, while medical cannabis and the

CBD market

will cover the remaining 33%.

Other predictions say that the European cannabis market will reach $136 billion by the end of 2028. The United Kingdom’s market should reach

£2.31 billion by 2024

, and if Germany joins the legalization trend, its market could reach

$9.39 billion by 2028

On the other hand, Asia’s medical cannabis market could be worth $5.8 billion, Oceania’s cannabis market could reach $2.7 billion, and Thailand’s cannabis market could hit $661 million by 2024.

There is no doubt that the cannabis industry will become one of the biggest industries in the world, especially if it continues to grow at this rate. One thing is certain as well: all of those deciding on this venture are going to need professional legal advice.

You Could Be Part Of The 33 Percent

One in three American adults are at risk of life-threatening kidney disease, and most don’t know it—but that can be remedied.

(NAPSI)—Look around the next time you’re in a crowd. One-third of everyone in there with you is at risk of developing dangerous kidney disease.

Kidney Disease Facts

In the United States, 37 million adults are estimated to have chronic kidney disease—and more than 90% aren’t aware of it. Often there are no symptoms; they won’t find out until their kidney’s fail. Kidneys are vital organs—as important as your heart, liver or lungs—that work 24/7 to clean toxins from your body. No one can live without functioning kidneys. When kidneys fail, only immediate dialysis or a transplant can save you.

A Solution

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF)—the largest, most comprehensive, and longstanding patient-centric organization dedicated to the awareness, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease in the U.S.—wants to change the odds. Every adult in the United States needs to know the risk and can find out with a simple, one-minute online quiz rolled out for National Kidney Month in March that can let you know if you’re in the 33 percent—and what to do about it.

“We have a public health crisis that needs to be addressed by all Americans,” said NKF CEO and kidney transplant recipient Kevin Longino. “We will never give up trying to find ways to reach people, slow or stop the progression of this disease and lessen the burden for patients. Early testing and interventions are the key.”

What To Watch For

Risk factors for kidney disease are:

• High blood pressure

• Heart disease

• Diabetes

• Obesity

• A family history of kidney disease.

What To Do

If you have one or more of these factors, you should to go to

MinuteForYourKidneys.org

to find out what to do next and how to talk to your doctor about it.

Life-threatening kidney disease can strike anyone, young or old, and has many causes, but early intervention can make a difference. Lifestyle changes and a healthy diet can sometimes slow the progression of the disease when caught in the early stages, and sometimes can stop kidney failure.

The first step to preventing kidney failure is knowing your risk, then getting tested. Two simple tests, one blood and one urine, can let your doctor know how your kidneys are doing. It’s easy to get tested yet the results can save your life.

CNB Consumer News : Spring Law Equipment Safety Tips

Spring is on its way and homeowners are eager to get outside and spruce up their yards. The

Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI)

, an international trade association representing outdoor power

equipment, small engine, utility vehicle, golf car and personal transport vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, reminds homeowners to keep safety in mind when working in their outdoor living spaces.

“Before you use a mower, trimmer, blower, power washer, chainsaw, pruner, portable generator or other piece of outdoor power equipment this season, it’s important to refresh yourself on handling and safety procedures,” said Kris Kiser, President and CEO of OPEI. “We’re all eager to get outside and enjoy the living landscape after a long winter, but you should take the time to do basic maintenance to ensure your equipment operates safely for the season and is ready to get the job done.”

Here are tips to help:

Read your owner’s manual.

Follow all guidelines for your outdoor power equipment and familiarize yourself with the controls. If you have lost your manual, look it up online (and save a copy on your computer for easy reference in the future).

Inspect equipment.

Check the air filter, oil level and the gasoline tank. Also check loose belts and missing or damaged parts. Replace any parts needed or take your equipment to a qualified service representative for servicing.

If you have gasoline-powered equipment and didn’t empty the tank before winter storage, drain the fuel now.

You should never leave fuel sitting in the gas tank of your equipment for more than 30 days. Untreated gasoline (without a fuel stabilizer) left in the system will deteriorate, which may cause starting or running problems or damage the fuel system.

Protect your power by only using E10 or less fuel in gasoline-powered outdoor power equipment.

With today’s higher ethanol content fuels, most manufacturers are recommending a fuel stabilizer be used, especially if you don’t use up all the gas purchased right away. Some gas stations may offer 15 percent ethanol (E15) gas or higher ethanol fuel blends, but any fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol can damage–and is illegal to use in– small engine equipment not designed for it.

Store fuel safely.

Label your fuel can with the date of purchase and ethanol content of the fuel. Never put “old” gas in your outdoor power equipment. If you don’t know the date of purchase, dispose safely of the fuel in the can and buy fresh fuel. Always store fuel out of the reach of children or pets and in approved containers.

For battery-powered equipment, recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer

. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.

Store batteries safely.

When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

Clean your equipment and store it in a dry place.

Remove any dirt, oil or grass. Clean equipment will run more efficiently and last longer. Never store your equipment in a place that is damp or wet.

NEW JERSEY SPORTSBOOKS NEARLY HIT $500 MILLION IN FEBRUARY

Sportsbooks make year-over-year jump, online casinos could help lessen potential impact of coronavirus on Atlantic City casinos, according to PlayNJ

(ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.) — Super Bowl betting pushed New Jersey’s online and retail sportsbooks to a strong February, though the monthly handle fell short of $500 million for the first time since October. But the concern for New Jersey’s sportsbooks is what lies ahead, according to PlayNJ analysts, after the NBA suspended its season, the NCAA Tournament limited spectators, and other leagues mull suspensions.

“New Jersey’s year-over-year gains remained impressive in February, but we are in uncharted territory now,” said Dustin Gouker, lead analyst for

PlayNJ.com

. “Obviously there are bigger concerns with coronavirus, but the NBA is a major revenue driver for New Jersey’s sportsbooks. So the suspension of the season, in addition to suspensions of other sports, will undoubtedly have a significant effect.”

New Jersey’s online and retail sportsbooks made a giant year-over-year leap in handle to $494.8 million, up 54.4% from $320.4 million in February 2019, according to official reporting released Thursday.

New Jersey generated $54.2 million in Super Bowl bets, but that was No. 2 to Nevada’s $156.8 million. Still, the Garden State could surpass Nevada, which posted a $458.6 million in handle in February 2019.

Despite losing $4.3 million on the big game, New Jersey sportsbooks managed to produce $17 million in gross revenue, resulting in $2.2 million in tax revenue for the state. Revenue was up 33.9% from $12.7 million in February 2019. Basketball, which produced a $6.6 million win on $219.3 million in wagers, helped sportsbooks overcome the Super Bowl loss.

“New Jersey bettors continue to show heavy interest in basketball,” Gouker said. “March Madness appears as of now as if it will be played, and it is one of the largest betting holidays in the U.S. But it is impossible to gauge just how much interest there will be if it is played at all.”

Online betting generated $436.5 million in wagers, 88.2% of the state’s handle in February. FanDuel Sportsbook/PointsBet led the way with $9.6 million in gross revenue from online betting, down from $22.2 million in January. Resorts Digital, anchored by DraftKings and Fox Bet, generated $4 million, down from $15.9 million. The online market leaders were followed by:

Monmouth/William Hill/Sugarhouse/TheScore ($1.3 million in revenue, down from $2.8 million in January)

BetMGM/Borgata ($1 million, down from $2.5 million)

Ocean Casino/William Hill ($168,015, down from $2 million)

Caesars Sportsbook/888sport ($34,183, down from $491,164)

Golden Nugget/BetAmerica (-$308,997, down from $431,643)

Hard Rock/Bet365/Unibet ($96,397, down from $340,933)

Tropicana/William Hill ($30,558, down from $74,379)

FanDuel Sportsbook at The Meadowlands again capitalized on the New York market and from localized betting on the XFL. The retail market leader posted $1.4 million in gross revenue, down from $4.3 million in January. FanDuel was followed in gross revenue by:

Tropicana Casino ($91,899, down from $100,288)

Resorts AC ($47,143, down from $163,436)

Bally’s AC ($32,199, down from $164,575)

Hard Rock AC ($19,294, up from -$4,467)

Monmouth Park (-$51,888, down from $883,716)

Ocean Casino (-$65,868, down from $377,369)

Golden Nugget (-$135,314, down from $116,266)

Borgata (-$318,896, down from $723,927)

Harrah’s AC ($41,649, down from $107,424)

ONLINE CASINOS

New Jersey’s online and poker industry set a revenue-per-day record in February, generating $52 million in revenue during the short month. February’s total was up 64% from $31.7 million in February 2019 and just shy of the record $55.1 million set last month.

Online casinos and poker generated $1.79 million per day during the 29 days in February, up from $1.78 million per day in January. March, which has historically been a big month for online casinos, could bring even more revenue in, as Atlantic City casinos brace for any impact from the coronavirus outbreak.

“Online casinos and sportsbooks should help buoy their land-based casino counterparts in Atlantic City should the coronavirus impact casino operations,” said Eric Ramsey, an analyst for

PlayNJ.com

. “The Golden Nugget’s online casino already generates more revenue than its retail casino, and others have been closing the gap. That online revenue stream could prove vitally important in the coming months.”

Some other important online casino and poker data from the February report:

Online casinos injected $7.8 million into state coffers.

The Golden Nugget tallied $19.8 million in online revenue, easily leading the market. Resorts Digital was second, generating $12.5 million.

Online casino games produced $50.2 million in revenue, up from $29.9 million in February 2019. Online poker notched $1.8 million, even with February 2019.

Evesham Man Sentenced for Possessing Child Pornography

MOUNT HOLLY –

Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced today that a 62-year-old Evesham man was sentenced to 364 days in the Burlington County Jail for possession of child pornography.

Under an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office, Scott J. Lucas, of the first block of Sheffield Drive, pled guilty in November to Endangering the Welfare of a Child (Third Degree) in exchange for the sentence. The term was handed down yesterday by the Hon. James J. Morley, J.S.C.

Upon release, Lucas must register as a sex offender and will be subjected to parole supervision for life.

The investigation began early last year after the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit received information regarding Lucas’s online activity from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Lucas was arrested in March 2019. The investigation revealed that Lucas would use online search engines to locate pictures of nude pre-pubescent girls.

“This is a despicable crime,” Prosecutor Coffina said. “We will continue to patrol cyberspace to track down those who possess and share child pornography, or otherwise exploit children through the Internet.”

Lucas was prosecuted by Assistant Prosecutor Stephen Eife, supervisor of the BCPO Major Crimes Unit – Special Victims Section.

The investigation was conducted by the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit, with assistance from United States Homeland Security Investigations – Cherry Hill Office, and the Evesham Township Police Department.

The lead investigator was BCPO Detective Kevin Sobotka. The Prosecutor’s Office High-Tech Crimes Unit is a member of the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and the New Jersey State Police Cyber Terrorism Task Force.

All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Philadelphia Bar Association Statement on ICE Arrests within Courthouses

PHILADELPHIA, PA –

In response to recent arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within Courthouses, Chancellor Hon. A. Michael Snyder (ret.) of the

Philadelphia Bar Association

, the nation’s oldest metropolitan Bar Association, issued the

following statement:

“The Philadelphia Bar Association has long had a position of being committed to the protection of individual liberties and to safeguarding the rights of all individuals. These basic rights include the right of due process to all, whether they are citizens or not.

“The entrance of agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service into courthouses or other facilities where legal proceedings are held causes fear among litigants, witnesses, victims and family members. The arrest of immigrants by ICE Agents, without warrants, constitutes a violation of the rights of due process.

“Recently, nonuniformed agents of ICE were recorded performing such unlawful arrests in courthouses within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in blatant contravention of the internal policies of ICE. These arrests appear to have been aided or abetted by local courthouse personnel, who witnessed the arrest but who did nothing to protect the rights of those being detained, even when the involved individual was lawfully within the courthouse, accompanied by his attorney, to conclude a legal matter not related to his application for naturalization. When his attorney asked to see the arrest warrant, the ICE agent insisted first that the arrest warrant was in his vehicle; when asked to get the warrant, the agent then insisted that he had the right to execute a ‘warrantless administrative arrest.’

“Such actions are hauntingly reminiscent of those of a police state, calling to mind the actions of a secret or state police. Actions such as these are a clear violation of basic human rights. This is not the America created by the Framers of the Constitution.

“We call upon law enforcement agencies, local governments, and court administration to prevent the access of ICE agents into courthouses, and to act to protect the rights of individuals lawfully within those facilities from harassment or arrest by ICE agents, whether uniformed or not.”

While 2 (2D) women won major-party nominations in U.S. House contests, they are running as challengers in districts where their incumbent opponents are strongly favored to win. If that happens, Mississippi will remain a state that has never sent a woman to the U.S. House.
