Nugg Club Launches Schedule 1 Brand That Will Donate Portion of Profits to Support Descheduling Marijuana from Controlled Substances Act

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nugg Club, the nation’s first true cannabis subscription box featuring full-sized products curated by experts and personalized to each customer, announced today the launch of Schedule 1, a new cannabis brand that seeks to provide instrumental support towards the mission of declassifying marijuana as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nugg Club, the nation’s first true cannabis subscription box featuring full-sized products curated by experts and personalized to each customer, announced today the launch of Schedule 1, a new cannabis brand that seeks to provide instrumental support towards the mission of declassifying marijuana as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Specifically, proceeds from Schedule 1 will be donated to lobbying efforts that seek to reclassify marijuana, and to Last Prisoner Project to free individuals in prison on non-violent cannabis charges who are serving jail because of marijuana being defined as a Schedule I drug.

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) places all substances which are in some manner regulated under existing federal law into one of five schedules. Drugs like marijuana, opioids and heroin are classified as Schedule I drugs and are defined as those with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. They also carry heavy penalties and jail time, sometimes mandatory, in the criminal justice system.

Yet, according to the Marijuana Policy Project there are over 4.3 million patients in the U.S. who rely on cannabis to ease the symptoms caused by myriad conditions, from cancer to post traumatic stress disorder and epilepsy. In fact, the U.S. already has patents on cannabinoids, including THC, based on their ability to prevent age-related brain damage and trauma.

While some bills have supported rescheduling cannabis to a less harsh category, state-legal cannabis businesses would still be unprotected from federal prosecution. Rescheduling also wouldn’t protect private citizens from arrest. Nugg Club aims to have Schedule 1 create a self-sustaining platform that supports removing cannabis from the list of controlled substances and helps to free people incarcerated for nonviolent marijuana crimes due to federal scheduling.

«The federal Controlled Substances Act was written more than half a century ago and is based on flawed, unscientific and extremely outdated data. Cannabis is now commonly used to successfully treat intractable seizures, cachexia, chronic debilitating pain and many other life-threatening disorders. It’s proven its utility within the medical community, yet it’s still classified as Schedule I,» said Joe Brottman, Creative Director of Nugg Club. «We’re launching Schedule 1 to not only increase awareness but provide instrumental support to the mission to end the prison state.»

At launch, Schedule 1 will include three flower strains available in Nugg Club subscription boxes and online for members to purchase via the Nugg Club add-ons menu. The strains include:

  • Mimosa: This sativa-dominant strain is a cross between Purple Punch and Clementine. A daytime pick-me-up, Mimosa is great for chasing sleep away, relieving stress and sparking creativity. Its mood-boosting terpenes, limonene and beta caryophyllene, make for a zesty experience that tapers off gradually.
  • MAC 1: Directly sourced by legacy-grower Capulator, MAC 1 is a smooth hybrid strain with impressive plant parents — Alien Cookies crossed with Starfighter and a Columbian landrace (aka Miracle 15). Connoisseurs can trace spice, diesel, and sour citrus in the strain’s pungent aromas.
  • Sunset Cookies: A proprietary phenotype sourced from Thin Mint Cookies and Sherbet genetics, Sunset Cookies is carefully bred in Coachella Valley to produce a mellow hybrid boasting with notes of fruity blueberry and lavender citrus. Sunset Cookies provides a super sweet balance between hazy and clear-headed effects.

The launch of Schedule 1 follows the company’s recent announcement of a more broad-ranging partnership with Last Prisoner Project. This month, Nugg Club will be sending a special box to subscribers that is rebranded to showcase the names of people imprisoned across the country for nonviolent cannabis offenses. Products in the February box will feature brands that specifically support social justice work, including Schedule 1. The box will also include a call to action for Nugg Club members to participate in LPP’s «Letter to a Prisoner» program and donate to the organization.

«We’re at a unique turning point in history. It’s become clear that if we want to deschedule cannabis, it’s going to be up to us. We already have one-third of our population living in states that allow legal recreational marijuana. Yet we still have prisoners serving life sentences for weed–some for tiny amounts,» said Erik Murray, Last Prisoner Project Board Member. «Last Prisoner Project is proud to partner with Nugg Club at the launch of Schedule 1 so we can push for change in Congress and make sure our prisoners come home in the process.»

About Nugg Club

Nugg Club is California’s first subscription cannabis club and helps anyone explore the world of cannabis at 50-60% below retail. The company is redefining the cannabis shopping experience by surprising consumers each month with carefully curated premium products matched to their preferences, and helping brands to connect with thousands of eager customers. Nugg Club was launched in 2020 by the team behind NuggMD, the nation’s leading medical cannabis technology platform, serving patients in California, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and now New Jersey.

Advanced Biofuels USA’s «Disappearing Carbon Tax» Proposal Part of The CLEEN Project

FREDERICK, Md., Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With so much talk about carbon taxes, carbon pricing, carbon cost and highway user fees, Advanced Biofuels USA’s proposal for a «Disappearing» Carbon Tax, is part of today’s launch of The CLEEN Project’s co-operative database, a searchable collection of actionable ideas to combat climate change, Build Back Better, and advance climate justice.

The Advanced Biofuels USA proposal emphasizes the environmental justice aspects of assuring that existing fleets and internal combustion vehicles which will be around for decades can have the greenest, cleanest, most defossilized fuel possible.

«Until electric vehicles are affordable, available, powered by renewables and use fair trade batteries, many people will still be driving vehicles that need liquid fuels,» noted Advanced Biofuels USA executive director, Joanne Ivancic. «Our proposal to tax the fossil fuel part of transportation fuel and power means that transportation fuels with higher portions of sustainable renewables will be the less expensive—and cleaner, greener—choice during the transition to EVs. This is especially important for those in lower to middle income brackets, those living in rural areas and is particularly beneficial for those in areas of high pollution.»

The funds from the fee on fossil fuel will enable sustainable, renewable fuel development from resources as diverse as industrial waste gases, unrecylable plastic and other municipal solid waste; from agricultural and forest waste/residues and from purpose grown crops that might be grown for other environmentally beneficial purposes such as nutrient management, cover crops, erosion control, etc.

«Even when we get to half of on-road vehicles being EVs, half still need liquid fuels. This proposal addresses the needs of those who will be using their liquid fuel powered vehicles for many years by assuring they have access to defossilized, less polluting fuel,» explained Ivancic.

The CLEEN Project is our nation’s first co-operative idea database designed specifically for federal leaders and focused on providing actionable ideas to combat climate change, Build Back Better, and advance climate justice. The CLEEN Project was created through a collective of more than 200 contributors and 70 Advisory Board members from the private sector, federal and state government, environmental justice organizations, and leading climate-focused think tanks who share a desire to help catalyze job creation and a 21st century clean and just economy.

Advanced Biofuels USA, a nonprofit educational organization advocates for the adoption of sustainable, renewable fuels as an energy security, military flexibility, economic development and climate change mitigation/pollution control solution. Their key tool for accomplishing this is the web site, http://www.AdvancedBiofuelsUSA.org, a resource for everyone from opinion-leaders, decision-makers and legislators to industry professionals, investors, feedstock growers and researchers; as well as journalists, teachers and students.

The Democracy at Work Institute Announces Equitable Economic Recovery Initiative

OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Equitable economic recovery requires strategic focus, innovation, and new partnerships, The Democracy at Work Institute (DAWI) says in announcing a new initiative helping communities address accelerating economic crises through worker ownership. Ownership Now for Equitable Recovery matches needs of workers locked out of good jobs and business ownership opportunities with the ambition and urgency demanded by the scale of our economic crisis.

«Right now people are hurting, small businesses and local economies are on life support. A sustained effort to rebuild and recover lies ahead, but simply rebuilding an economy that failed to support workers in the first place puts us on track for ever-escalating economic and political crises,» said Melissa Hoover, executive director at DAWI. «At DAWI we’re putting all our energy into shared ownership solutions that provide immediate opportunities for everyday people and build more resilient economies in the long run.» 

DAWI is prioritizing business ownership and wealth-building opportunities for BIPOC, immigrant, and low-wage workers—communities disproportionately impacted by structural inequality and COVID-19. To achieve economic justice priorities, DAWI presents worker ownership as an essential element of economic recovery strategies. Through investment in worker ownership, communities can preserve long-standing businesses, save jobs, build economic resilience, and provide wealth-building opportunities for workers. Ownership Now for Equitable Recovery builds on years of research, government relations, funder engagement, and partnerships with cooperative developers, illuminating opportunities for accelerated economic progress using worker ownership.

Ownership Now for Equitable Recovery is informed by three imperatives:

Unlocking ownership transition capital. Saving businesses and the jobs they support is a top priority for local economies. Transferring business ownership to employees is a proven way to retain vulnerable local businesses, but access to capital remains an obstacle for business sellers and employees in pursuit of shared ownership. DAWI’s capital focus aims to unlock the promise of business ownership for workers. This work is highlighted by DAWI’s incubation of Apis & Heritage Capital, building new models for financing ownership transitions, and transferring ownership to BIPOC workers.

Innovation for better livelihoods. BIPOC and women workers have been disproportionately affected by the loss of 20 million U.S. jobs in 2020. DAWI is developing rapid response cooperative models that create quality jobs for workers in need through leading-edge business development tactics and strategic partnerships. This includes innovative employment solutions for contingent workers, developing small business cooperatives, and securing dignified work for the growing thousands of workers locked out of good jobs.

Helping allies do their jobs better. Strong businesses and expanded ownership opportunities at scale can’t be achieved in a silo. Through new approaches to education, policy, partnerships, and research, DAWI is committed to ensuring our work is in service to allies working to achieve an equitable economic recovery. The first program under this focus is DataTogether, which applies cooperative principles to research and data analysis. DAWI will announce programs focused on key partnerships integrating ownership into recovery in spring 2020.

Recent Company Highlights

About BacTech Environmental

BacTech is investigating the prospects of a build/own/operate bioleach facility to be based in Ponce Enriquez, Ecuador. The selection of Ponce Enriquez is driven by the extremely high levels of arsenic that is associated with gold in the +90 small mines in the area which attract high penalties in smelting . Presently, the miners are forced to sell their production at reduced prices to Asian buyers due to the high arsenic values in the concentrates and accept lower financial returns. BacTech proposes to pay better prices for the miners’ material, by eliminating penalties for arsenic, and process higher grade gold to reduce overall refining costs. This concept can be repeated in areas of Peru, Colombia and Central America where arsenic is known to exist alongside gold mining. The Company is also awaiting the reduction in government imposed Covid restrictions in Colombia where BacTech will investigate a gold/platinum tailings project.

‘We Will Decide’ Launches Comprehensive Voter-Information and Analytics Site – Fostering Political Literacy During a Time of Uncertainty

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ‘We Will Decide’ (https://wewilldecide.com/) announced its official launch, offering useful American political information collected in one digital place that is individualized for each registered user. We Will Decide follows Congressional action, giving data to users based solely on the facts – links to information about the individual bills, and the actual votes cast by each member of the Senate and the House on those bills. We Will Decide also provides each user with a list of their Senators and Representatives – their current and past votes on bills – and lets users track votes in aggregate to see how much they agree with their incumbents’ overall voting records. We Will Decide contains no ads and is currently offering free registration until Memorial Day. After that, the site will charge a modest $3/month membership fee to help with upkeep, while giving 10% of proceeds to trackable charities. Referring a friend to the site will also earn users a free month, in an ongoing promotion.

We Will Decide: An Evolving Project Built Specifically for Voters 

«We Will Decide is a labor of love,» said site founder, Kelly Riordan. «I would’ve once labeled myself a typical apathetic voter, but in our country’s current state, being uninformed is no longer an option. With all the information out there in the media-sphere, much of it skewed one way or another, how do you begin to know what is real and what isn’t? It’s not easy. So I decided there’s only one thing that cannot be faked or manipulated: pure voting history.»

«What our representatives actually vote on tells us so much, and that should be a major focus of our attention. I built a website that lets users do just that. I don’t have any political agenda other than helping voters be informed about the people they’re electing. I’m a healthcare worker and this company is run by me and two friends, because we want people to base their opinions on Congressional voting records, not the sensationalism and media spin we’re all exposed to day after day. That’s one of the reasons I refuse to run ads on my site.»

We Will Decide: Customized Political Data for Informed Voters

«How do you pick the politicians that you vote for each election cycle?» Riordan asked. «Do you base it on personality? A few radio or TV sound bites that you heard? A political attack ad? Do you vote strictly along party lines? I’m sure most of us fall into just one or two of these categories – with most people voting with their party. But why? Shouldn’t we be voting on the issues, not the personalities? Isn’t that the reason we put them in office to begin with – to vote our interests? So how do you know for sure they’re actually doing that? It’s fairly simple: you follow their voting record.»

«That’s exactly why I built We Will Decide. You can follow your Representatives and Senators and see what they’re doing with each bill. And by agreeing or disagreeing with each vote, logging your choice into the site, you’ll see at-a-glance how much you actually align with your representatives and their choices. With red and blue graphs to make everything simple, and easy percentages that include votes that your reps attended and missed, it’s real information you can use – based on actual numbers. We Will Decide allows you to become a member of that rare and most influential group: informed voters.»

We Will Decide also provides a complete Representative Index and Quarterly Reviews to keep voters aware of issues as they unfold in Congress, along with direct links to government informational websites and current Executive Orders from the White House.

For more information on current bills, political incumbents, and other voting data, visit We Will Decide to access the limited-time free account offer until May 31.

TORONTO, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — More sustainable food and personal care packaging remains a key topic that is discussed amongst politicians, packaging manufacturers, consumer goods producers and the general public alike. The uniting goal of all these various stakeholders seems to be the same: reduce, reuse and recycle the packaging we all use. Constantia Flexibles, the world’s 3rd largest producer of flexible packaging, is fully committed to its pledge of making all products 100% recyclable by 2025.

During this webinar, featured speakers from different parts of the value chain will present the context for more sustainable food and personal care packaging, the collective effort that is underway and the key role that mono-PE-based laminates will play in making it possible to replace today’s multi-polymer and multi-material laminates.

The in-house experts from Constantia Flexibles will be joined by Graham Houlder, Project Co-ordinator and Managing Director at CEFLEX, who will discuss the packaging industry’s commitments to reducing plastic waste, the legislative environment that supports these goals and provide a glimpse into the initiatives CEFLEX is working on.

This barrier is crucial to create flexible packaging that will ensure products are delivered to end consumers without compromise. The expert speakers will also share insights into how waste collection and waste streams are being set up to turn food and personal care packaging waste into a valuable resource.

Join expert speakers from Constantia Flexibles, Professor Achim Grefenstein, Senior Vice President; Gerwin Schalk, Vice President, Ecolam Consumer; and Thomas Schulz, Vice President Group Marketing & Communication, as well as Vincent Mooij, Director of SUEZ.circpack and Graham Houlder, CEFLEX Project Coordinator and Managing Director, SLOOP Consulting in a live webinar on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 9am EST (2pm GMT/UK).
