of Estrella Ranch property, the LiveWire “Estate Grown Weedery” is
“biggest accomplishment yet”
LiveWire
Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV), a forward-thinking company involved in the
acquisition, licensing and management of fully compliant turnkey facilities
engaged in the production of high-quality cannabis-based products and services
in California, is closely watching the progress of the SAFE Banking Act, which
once passed on the Senate, would allow banks and credit unions to provide financial
services to legal cannabis businesses. With LiveWire’s evolving role in the
multibillion-dollar cannabis industry, as it develops its high-quality cannabis
brands in the world’s first “Estate Grown Weedery,” the company has a keen
interest in the status of legislation related to cannabis and is actively
supporting further legalization efforts.
While many states have legalized cannabis for either medical
or recreational (or both) use in recent years, under Federal law cannabis is
still considered an illegal substance and the Federal Government has been slow
to change its status. In December 2018 the U.S. Farm Bill was passed, which
de-scheduled hemp as a Schedule 1 drug, although the use, sale and possession
of cannabis with over 0.3 percent THC remains illegal under Federal law.
Despite that reclassification, most financial institutions continue to avoid
providing services to businesses operating in the cannabis space.
The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act of 2019,
HR19-1595, could change that. The bill was passed by the House of
Representatives in September and then sent to the Senate, where it was referred
to the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. According to the
official summary by the Congressional Research Service, the SAFE Banking Act
prohibits federal banking regulators from punishing a financial institution for
offering financial services to a legal marijuana-related business.
Passage of the SAFE Banking Act in the Senate and signing of
the bill by the President will open access to broad financial services in the
multibillion-dollar marijuana industry (http://ibn.fm/yPloj) and would clearly give legal and
vertically integrated operators such as LiveWire a significant boost.
For the last few years LiveWire has been operating with a
clear focus on “doing it right” in the cannabis industry. The company, via its
subsidiary Estrella Ranch Partners has purchased the 265-acre Estrella Ranch
property, which it plans to develop into one of the largest, vertically
integrated, high-end cannabis facilities and wellness retreats in California.
On the path to full vertical integration, the company is also expanding its
state-wide distribution network operating under a license issued to its
subsidiary GHC Ventures from The California Bureau of Cannabis Control.
“Our Estrella Ranch is probably the most beautiful piece of property
and is considered a gem in the midst of the world renown California wine
country,” said Bill Hodson, the CEO of LiveWire. It has the infrastructure,
sufficient power, abundant water supply and the perfect micro-climate to put
out the best possible high-quality product and establish a great portfolio of
high-end brands. We feel that establishing the ‘Estrella Weedery’ as a central
location to eventually house all our operations is our biggest accomplishment
yet.”
“With the cannabis market expanding rapidly in California,
we truly believe that “doing it right” will assure a sustainable success in
this rapidly developing and changing cannabis industry” continued Hodson (http://ibn.fm/4EY9a). “While
conducting the environmental research and maneuvering trough the complicated
legal maze of laws, rules and regulations that one needs to comply with to
operate legally, requires considerable resources, we are confident that getting
behind a product that we know has enormous potential and establishing a
high-quality brand, we will be able to rise above the noise in a turbulent
market and continue to aggressively expand our presence in the cannabis
market.”
Under Hodson’s leadership, LiveWire began exploring the cannabidiol
(CBD) and cannabis market several years ago and has since grown into an
operation with a unique portfolio of special-purpose properties focused on a
variety of cannabis operations from cultivation to extraction and research for
human and veterinarian applications. To continue on its path to full vertical
integration, the company is also focused on expanding its statewide
distribution network under a license granted by the California Bureau of
Cannabis Control.
LiveWire Ergogenics specializes in identifying and
monetizing current and future trends in the health and wellness industry. The
company is focused on acquiring, managing, and licensing specialized,
closed-loop, turnkey, cannabis, real-estate locations of fully compliant and
permitted turnkey facilities to produce cannabis-based products and services in
California and the statewide distribution of these products.
