To date the company has paid a total of $230,000 USD towards the $350,000 USD purchase price, which will leave a remaining $120,000 USD to complete. We expect this final payment to be paid on the signing of the Definitive Agreement. Also, It should be noted that this acquisition comes with $250,000 USD of dried hemp in inventory, which was harvested last year. Once the final payment has been paid the company plans to process and sell all of the hemp that is sitting in inventory this year.

Worm Castings is a Hemp production and CBD processing company, which has further plans to develop Hemp and CBD production and processing related opportunities for Bougainville in Oregon and the U.S.A.

 

Farm Bill, Hemp gains federally legal status

President Donald Trump has signed hemp legalization into law, a change expected to unleash seismic market changes for the hemp industry. Trump’s signature on the 2018 Farm Bill immediately removes hemp – defined cannabis below 0.3% THC – from the Controlled Substances Act. The change also applies to extracts from hemp, including CBD and other cannabinoids. The hemp industry has been pushing for legalization for decades, but the plant’s long association with high-THC varieties kept it locked alongside heroin and marijuana in Schedule 1 of the CSA, the most restricted drug classification in the U.S.

 

CBD entrepreneurs say the Farm Bill’s passage opens up unbelievable business opportunities, especially because interstate commerce is ensured. In other words, no state will be allowed to intercept or impound hemp products.

 

President & CEO, Andy Jagpal Comments:

We are very excited to see both of our ventures, the Tier-3, I-502 tenant and Oregon Hemp farm moving forward towards a successful growing season. This first planting season signals a new phase for Bougainville’s concept of providing fully built out turnkey facilities to cannabis growers and processors and Hemp farmers. Also, The Farm Bill presents a monumental step for the hemp industry, and is a historic event which will create a tremendous amount of opportunities for our Oregon Hemp farm whose goal is to produce a Cannabidiol (CBD) product used to treat various ailments and improve wellbeing.“

 

About the Washington I-502 Marijuana Market

 

In November 2012, the Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) passed Initiative 502 (I-502) pursuant to a vote by the people of the State of Washington. I-502 authorized the WSLCB to regulate and tax recreational marijuana products for persons over twenty-one years of age and thereby created a new industry for growing, processing and selling of Washington State-regulated recreational marijuana products. A recent WSLCB commissioned report by the Rand organization suggests that there are currently up to 650,000 recreational marijuana users in Washington State, worth approximately $1.25 - $1.5 billion USD in annual sales.
