LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired -
August 30, 2013) - MediSwipe Inc. (www.MediSwipe.com) (OTCQB:
MWIP), the leader in Compassionate Care Technology Solutions for
the medicinal marijuana industry, today announced that the Company
has entered into an agreement with several Colorado based
dispensaries to provide Mello Meal™ boxes as secure packaging for
edibles and patient medicine on behalf of dispensaries and
caregivers, Hemp based beverages including "Chillo and C+Swiss" and
begin to provide financial payment solutions for alternatives
to cash only transactions for state licensed dispensaries eligible
for the recreational market in 2014.
In a move marijuana advocates hailed as an historic shift,
the Obama administration on Thursday began giving U.S. states wide
leeway to experiment with pot legalization and started by letting
Colorado and Washington carry out new laws permitting recreational
use. The decision announced yesterday ended nearly a year of
deliberation inside President Barack Obama's administration about
how to react to the growing movement for relaxed U.S. marijuana
laws.
Advocates for legalization welcomed the announcement as a major
step toward ending what they called "marijuana prohibition." The
policy change embraces what Justice Department officials called a
"trust but verify" approach between the federal government and
states that enact recreational drug use.
"Today's announcement demonstrates the sort of political vision
and foresight from the White House we've been seeking for a long
time," said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy
Alliance, an advocacy group.
"This very carefully considered approach by the federal
government will allow our state to move forward and show the
country a way a well-regulated system can be effectuated in a state
while still respecting the federal Controlled Substances Act,"
Washington Governor Jay Inslee, a 62-year-old Democrat, said
yesterday at a news briefing in Olympia.
Colorado Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper, 61, said the
state shares the Justice Department's enforcement priorities. The
state is "determined to keep marijuana businesses from being fronts
for criminal enterprises or other illegal activity," he said in a
statement.
"We obviously couldn't be more pleased with the Justice
Department's decision on behalf of Colorado and Washington
State yesterday. It has always been our position at MediSwipe to
bring a sense of legitimacy, security and uniformity to a very
fragmented industry in its infancy. We now believe as the largest
provider of doctor and patient services, merchant processing
and banking network, combined with what we have recently created as
vertical product lines for this industry, no Company is in a better
position to lead this sector," stated B. Michael Friedman, CEO of
MediSwipe.
The action, welcomed by supporters of legalization, could set
the stage for more states to legalize marijuana. Alaska could vote
on the question next year, and a few other states plan similar
votes in 2016.
