The Cannabis Liberalisation Landslide continues as Italy opens its doors to Medical Cannabis

Following the widespread acceptance of medical cannabis and CBD-based products in European countries, the regional government of Pescara in Italy has approved a new regulation for cannabis for therapeutic use. The attention of cannabis companies is shifting from the crowded North-American sector towards Europe. One such company is World High Life Plc (NEX:LIFE), which plans to become one of the main players in the European cannabis industry.

The regional government of Pescara, on the proposal of Councillor Nicoletta Verì, approved a resolution regulating the prescription and dispensing of medical preparations based on cannabinoids, which can be prescribed in pain therapy as a symptomatic support to standard treatments. The resolution amends and supplements the provisions of the previous commissioner’s decree of 2016. The measure not only transposes the new regulations that have been introduced in this area in recent years, but above all, regulates the application of the rules in all of Abruzzi, which until now had often adopted diverging management methods.

Following the adoption of the resolution, cannabinoid medicinal products for therapeutic use may be prescribed both by specialists of the regional health service operating in authorized centers, and by general practitioners on the basis of a therapeutic plan drawn up by a specialist doctor. The renewal of the prescription will be subject to a positive evaluation of effectiveness and safety by the prescribing physician, based on the individual variability of the response to treatment.

In the case of inpatient treatment, the hospital pharmacy is required to provide the preparations. Meanwhile, in the case of home therapy for the indications to be borne by the regional health service, the patient (who must always be provided with a medical prescription and a therapeutic plan) may apply to the hospital pharmacy of his local health authority.

Finally, for home therapy not covered by the regional health service, patients who have prescriptions may decide to obtain the drug directly from a pharmacy of their choice.

World High Life eyes promising investment opportunities in the European cannabis market

The untapped potential of Europe, the new frontier market, has attracted experienced cannabis companies that want to take advantage of these rich new opportunities. One such company is World High Life Plc (NEX:LIFE), which can leverage the experience achieved on the North-American cannabis markets and gain momentum in the fast-developing European sector.

World High Life is aiming to set itself at the forefront of the European cannabis industry, and has already made steady steps in that direction, by acquiring UK’s leading CBD company, Love Hemp Ltd.

WHL plans to expand its foothold by acquiring the most promising cannabis companies in the UK and other European countries that have a favorable legal framework towards medical cannabis, CBD and hemp-based products.

By utilizing the experience accumulated on the North American cannabis market, the UK-based investment company World High Life is laying the foundations of an empire.

Violation of US election rules: Abrahim Tahir Javed under serious investigation

By Our Reporter 

TEXAS: The Texas Ethics Commission has confirmed its investigation of Abrahim Tahir Javed for accepting unauthorised campaign contributions and for failing to file a campaign treasure appointment in violation of the election rules. 

The Texas Ethics Commission says it’s investigating Abrahim Tahir Javed under case number SC-32309260 where the candidate was alleged to have failed filing a treasurer appointment in violation of Section 252.001 of the Election Code; and knowingly accepted campaign contributions of authorized campaign expenditures at a time when campaign treasurer appointment was not in effect in violation of Section 253.031.

Abrahim Tahir Javed, born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, is running to become the Commissioner for Fort Bend County, Sugar Land, Texas. He is the son of Muhammad Tahir Javed, the Texas businessman who was recently sacked by Pakistan’s prime minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar from the position of Overseas Investment Advisor after Javed’s previous fraud convictions in the United States came to the surface.

Investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission is not the only issue Abrahim Javed faces. 

Abrahim Javed, a 24 year old recent college graduate, moved to Fort Bend County from his longtime home of Beaumont, Jefferson County in October, according to public records, a few weeks before the filing deadline for running for public office in the upcoming primary elections. Public records show Mr. Javed was issued a new driver’s license on October 1, 2023 with a conflicting Fort Bend address – just a few weeks before one could file for running for office.

The law is clear. Texas Election Code Section 141.001 explains that for someone eligible to run for office in Texas must (1) “have resided continuously in the state for 12 months” and (2) in the territory from which the office is elected for six months immediately preceding the filing deadline for the upcoming primary election. The filing deadline is December 11, 2024. To meet the six-month residency deadline, a candidate must be a resident of that precinct by June 11, 2024.

According to Public Records and Sources, Mr. Javed filed an “Appointment of Treasurer” form on September 25, 2023. On this government document, Mr. Javed listed “14415 Castlemaine Court, Sugar Land, TX 77498.” From a simple search, the address that Mr. Javed listed actually belongs to that of a local political operative Haroon Mougal who has been the subject of numerous Texas Ethics Commission investigations already. 

Public records from Mr. Javed’s actual home in Jefferson County indicate that he was still registered to vote there as late as in September 2023. Another glaring discrepancy on governmental forms and documents now relates to Mr. Javed’s voter registration forms. After his recent move to Fort Bend County, his voter registration is now listed at 11826 Matagorda Ln, Sugar Land, Texas. There are multiple discrepancies on legal documents that Mr. Javed has filed with the government claiming various parts of his new residency status in Fort Bend County, but ALL of them well after the June 11th residency deadline. According to sources, Mr. Javed is also telling residents that he has been a long-time resident of Fort Bend County when that is clearly false and evidenced in his voter registration, social media accounts, and more that he has always lived in Beaumont of Jefferson County, Texas until he decided to move to Fort Bend County a few weeks ago to run for office.

The story of felonies and fraud begins much earlier with the father of Abrahim Javed, a formerly convicted felon Muhammad Tahir Javed. According to the court records of Texas, Tahir Javed was sentenced to five years of deferred probation for felony theft. He was then sentenced for five years but only served half of that term. Authorities in Texas had prosecuted him for theft and a minimum sentence for felony starts from a year. After his theft sentence in 1994, Tahir Javed focussed on business and with help from his brother he progressed and went on to set up several companies. Texas Jefferson County’s District Criminal Court data records Muhammad Tahir Javed’s felony theft as Cause: 56447; offence date: 25 September 1990, Beaumont Tx; filing date: 5 November 1990; offence description, theft by receiving; probation amount: 5; and description: P/G Judge; and Deferred Completed: 28th of March 1994.”

Again, in July 2017, Javed was warned of criminal prosecution, seizure or injunction by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The warning was issued over his Royal Smoke LL, an online purveyor of tobacco and tobacco related products. At the same time, Royal Smoke was subjected to government intervention.

“FDA has determined that Royal Smoke products are misbranded…because you sold these products to persons under 18 years of age,” an FDA warning letter to Javed said. Javed Tahir was additionally cautioned against labelling and advertising outside the scope of the law and barring corrective measures could face criminal prosecution. Tahir Javed describes himself as a Pakistani American entrepreneur, investor, business magnate, and philanthropist on his social media profiles.

In 2018, Muhammad Tahir Javed stood in US Primary Elections to represent Texas District 29 in Congress. His campaign manifesto stated that he “understands the problems facing the district and the country, and the experience and desire to get things done”. He had sought to replace Democrat Gene Green, who had served as the Texas District 29 Rep since the district was created in 1993. He lost the election to the veteran Democrat candidate. Muhammad Tahir Javed lost by a double-digit margin to now Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia.

At that time, Muhammad Tahir Javed announced to run for the Fort Bend County Precinct 3 Position before his son, Abrahim Javed did. However, he was also slapped with a Texas Ethics Commission investigation – case SC 32306211, causing him to back out. In that time frame, Muhammad Tahir Javed was appointed by the interim caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan to a government post that was then immediately revoked a few days after its inception due to the failure of Muhammad Tahir Javed disclosing his criminal history in the US. There was even an attempt to influence the Jefferson County Clerk’s office to provide an unverified and unsubstantiated letter to the Government of Pakistan falsely claiming that Javed did not have any criminal history. However, that attempt failed and Pakistan premier Kakar sacked him.
