International Endeavors Excited About California Marijuana LegalizationTEMECULA, Calif., Jan. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE — International Endeavors Corp (OTC:IDVV) is pleased to announce the following: The arrival of 2018 in California brought with it broad legalization of marijuana, a much-anticipated change that comes two decades after the state was the first to allow pot for medical use. The nation’s most populous state joins a growing list of other states, and the nation’s capital, where recreational marijuana is permitted even though the federal government continues to classify pot as a controlled substance. Marijuana is now legal in California for adults 21 and older, and individuals can grow up to six plants and possess as much as an ounce of the drug. In 1996, despite objections of law enforcement, President Clinton’s drug czar and three former presidents, California voters approved marijuana for medicinal purposes. Twenty years later, voters approved legal recreational use and gave the state a year to write regulations for a legal market that would open in 2018. Today, 29 states have adopted medical marijuana laws. In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana. Since then, five more states have passed recreational marijuana laws, including Massachusetts, where retail sales are scheduled to begin in July. Even with other states as models, the next year is expected to be a bumpy one in California as more shops open and more stringent regulations take effect. At first, pot shops will e able to sell marijuana harvested without full regulatory controls. But eventually, the state will require extensive testing for potency, pesticides and other contaminants. A program to track all pot from seed to sale will be phased in, along with other protections such as childproof containers. International Endeavors Corporation is excited about the opportunities being created. In 2017 the company announced its partnership with Steve Kubby and Kubby Cryogenics. Together IEC and Kubby are working on developing and Patenting specific strains to treat specific ailments as well as a proprietary extraction method which captures the highest medical value of any product known on the market today. In addition to the relationship with Kubby, IEC is developing other forms of IP related to the container marketplace to take advantage of the new regulations coming in California.
