“This is a historic day in the United States as the House Judiciary Committee has approved an end to Federal marijuana prohibition,” commented Kiran Sidhu CEO of Halo Labs. He continued, “We are well positioned as dominoes continue to fall in the right direction to grow nationally and bring legal marijuana to all 50 states.”“We are well positioned as dominoes continue to fall in the right direction to grow nationally and bring legal marijuana to all 50 states.”
Since its founding, Halo foresaw eventual Federal legalization and built the business with the express purpose to scale nationally.
Indeed, the Company is one of the largest licensed cannabis manufacturers at its Medford facility and cultivators with the largest licensed single site grow in Southern Oregon, at its six-acre East Evans Creek Farm.
Located in the Emerald Triangle - where labor costs, rent costs, and tax burdens are low - Southern Oregon is one of the most optimal, low-cost regions in the world for growing and manufacturing cannabis.
Emphasizing this point, Halo recently produced a record harvest at East Evans Creek of 6,800kg (15,000 lbs.) of dry marijuana product.
Further, the company believes it can achieve even greater annual yields of 8,170kg (18,000 lbs.) in future growing seasons at the six-acre farm as Company continues to refine and improve its cannabis strains.
Andreas Met the COO stated, “What coffee has been to Colombia and wheat to the Great Plains states, cannabis is to Southern Oregon, the northern tip of the Emerald Triangle. The hot, dry summers combined with cold rainy winters, latitude, elevation, and UVB light, make the climate very special for cannabis. When we started the company in 2015, we handpicked this region, built a facility capable of running 24-7 and then integrated cultivation with the goal to be able to supply cannabis flower, oils and concentrates nationwide.”
Cannabis grown outdoors in the Emerald Triangle is consistently among the highest quality in the world. Halo has is deeply embedded in the Southern Oregon cannabis ecosystem procuring annually up to 30,000kg (66,000 lbs.) from local farmers.
Currently, medical marijuana is legal in 33 states and it's legal for recreational use in 11 states, along with the District of Columbia. With widespread public approval, cannabis has become a bipartisan issue uniting disparate factions in Congress despite a highly polarized political environment.
“We also applaud the House for creating a 5% tax as part of the bill that would help people disproportionally impacted by the War on Drugs,” Mr. Sidhu stated. “It is high time we correct the unjust actions of the past and move forward with the new era of legal cannabis in the US. We are proud supporters. Our dream is one step closer to reality.”
