But with the scientists’ process, they were able to introduce over a dozen genes into the DNA of the yeast, many of which were actually copies of the genes that are used from the cannabis plant to produce synthesized cannabinoids. Then, the genes release enzymes which promote a series of chemical changes. It starts out with the sugar, followed by cannabigerolic acid, which then produces many cannabis compounds including CBD and THC.
So far, all states that have legalized cannabis aren’t allowed to sell both pot and alcohol in the same shop. However, alcohol companies can benefit from entering the cannabis industry particularly because they’re already so skilled when it comes to the tricky aspect of operating in a highly regulated industry.
Black market pot actually still thrives in states even if they’ve legalized cannabis already. The main reason why people still turn to their dealers despite fairly easy access to weed is that illicit pot is cheaper. A study revealed that in Washington, the 44% retail tax has had a negative impact on cannabis sales; this is likely because high taxes have caused them to turn to the black market.
Thyroiditis is a group of thyroid disorders, all of which have inflammation as the common denominator. It affects the thyroid, a gland located in the center of the neck, which is responsible for the production of numerous important hormones in the body.

But with the rising popularity of CBD, consumers all over the country want to know more about it particularly how long it takes to set in.

What are the most popular cannabis strains in Los Angeles right now? Cannabis.net was curious as to what was hot and what people were asking for the most in the age of home delivery, apps, custom pickups, and ordering online. One of the West Coast leaders in home delivery is GRASSDOOR, so we sat down and ask GRASSDOOR what are some of the most popular strains that people are ordering and asking about when they are out for delivery.
Not surprisingly, they found that the early adopting states had major advantages both in the long and short term – which will probably be the case with cannabis legalization. “In the long run, states that legalize in the earliest stages of this staggered removal of the drug’s prohibition may enjoy an early-adopter advantage with respect to the production and sale of marijuana as they gain a foothold in what may soon become a national (or international) market for the product,” writes the researchers.
What this would mean is that the government would be in charge of everything from retail, purchases, staffing and everything that were to pertain to running a dispensary. However, the argument of running a government dispensary is very nuanced. There are many elements that need to be considered.
This song calls back to some old school hip hop vibes and I dug it. With 150k+ views on Youtube and recently released by Classified Records, it’s a statement of folks who smoke weed. Plain and simple. The lyrics are dazzled with cannabis terms that any veteran toker can relate to.
In a statement to Civilized, Berenson makes it clear: “Cannabis causes psychosis. Psychosis causes violence,” he says. “The advocacy community – and the for-profit cannabis industry – have spread myths and in some cases flat-out lies about cannabis for far too long. It’s time for the pendulum to swing to a more honest discussion of risks and benefits, no matter how difficult that fact may be for cannabis lovers to accept.”
While the headlines all predict future billions for those willing to enter the nascent cannabis space, there are plenty of things that need to be fixed up, and I am not referring to the obvious ones like a Federal schedule 1 listing on the cannabis plant, no access to banking for cannabis businesses, and the inability to cross state lines with the product or put it in the US mail. Here are 4 under-the-radar problems in the cannabis that will need to be straightened out when the other ones get worked out.
Hemp oil is a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Considering that it’s a plant-based source, this gives you the added benefit of consuming therapeutic nutrients and terpenes that you won’t get from fish oil. Additionally, hemp oil contains omega-3 stearidonic acid (SDA), a superior essential fatty acid that converts to EPA more efficiently in the body.
I really do hope that the Supreme Court in Arizona will see it this way. Sheila Polk and her ilk aren’t benefiting society or upholding the law. They are merely trying to circumvent the will of the voters, and considering that she is a “public servant”, she should truly attempt to serve the public as opposed to jailing legitimate citizens.
Israeli scientists have discovered the reason why kids with autism respond so well to cannabis medications – it’s because they have lower endogenous cannabinoid levels compared to matched controls.
Instead, support women-owned cannabis brands and products, and acknowledge the many ways women are trailblazing this industry. Understand that women can not only be sexy, but they are also intelligent creatures who can have great positive influence in the cannabis industry if you let it.
Northern Swan Holdings, Inc. is among the latest. The NY-based holdings firm which focuses on medical marijuana just invested $8 million into a German marijuana wholesale and distribution company called Cansativa GmbH to help speed up the development of the company into the European market.
Additionally, lack of federal funding for cannabis research puts healthcare professionals between a rock and a hard stone. Even though many medical associations have voiced their support for cannabis and recognize its safety, at the end of the day it’s still a Schedule 1 substance so they risk losing their licenses if anything goes wrong.
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act; a law that places strict rules on the addition of medicinal components on food and drink. Combine that with the fact that the FDA isn’t convinced about the health benefits of CBD, so any business that makes health claims is ruffling their features.
Aside from the mentioned study, the authorities do not acknowledge the many other studies proving the safety and efficacy of pot when used as medicine. They also cite the fact that other countries who took a more relaxed stand on cannabis suffered serious societal harms. “Therefore, we have strict laws against the trafficking, possession, consumption, and import or export of illicit drugs including cannabis and cannabis products.”

The point here kids, you are in control of your decisions. Make the best ones for your own future. Weed won’t ruin you, but when you’re that young…it won’t really help you either. Unless of course you consume it for medical reasons, but then you also know…you’re not doing it for fun.
Glass Bongs are basically a water filtration gadget that is utilized to consume tobacco, herbs or cannabis. It looks nearly in the state of a hookah or shisha with the exception of the way that it is effectively compact anyplace. The real significance of the term bong originates from Thai word "Baung" a round and hollow smoking tube made of bamboo or wood.
This is because California also taxes the crops before they are even sold. Other states such as Alaska and Colorado sit between 10%-20% per sale. In some cases, California can have taxes as high as 80% if you include some Federal Taxes. What this means is that the margin of profits are so small, that it almost becomes impossible to operate a legitimate cannabis business according to their rules.
Legalizing cannabis wouldn't only free up prison space and allow law enforcement to focus on more dangerous criminals. Treating marijuana like booze would improve everything from the economy to the environment. We should encourage lawmakers to free the weed, and here's why.

Vaping has been one of the most beneficial modern trends especially for smokers. It became an avenue for those with severe addiction or nicotine dependency to effectively manage their urges, and in some cases, even became a vehicle for cessation. But is vaping really an effective alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes or is it a gateway for minors and non-smokers to get into smoking?
So while he said he would respect state cannabis laws, Barr also still supports criminalization of cannabis at the federal level. Using a hands-off approach despite the federally illegal status of cannabis is certainly still better than having Sessions on board. “I think it’s a mistake to back off on marijuana,” Barr said last month. “However, if we want a federal approach, if we want states to have their own laws, then let’s get there and let’s get there right away.”

All in all, the article was quite accurate and the point was to not have the “cannabis industry” nor “politicians” decide whether cannabis is medicine or not…but to let science figure that out. It essentially focuses on the fact that both sides of the spectrum makes claims about cannabis that isn’t scientifically viable.
“Medical cannabis laws are associated with significant reductions in opioid prescribing in the Medicare Part D population,” said one paper written by the researchers at the University of Georgia in Athens. “This finding was particularly strong in states that permit dispensaries, and for reductions in hydrocodone and morphine prescriptions.”
As more states legalize recreational cannabis, you might be wondering if it’s still worth getting a medical marijuana card if you have a qualifying condition. After all, do you really need to go through the hassle of getting an MMJ card if you can walk into a dispensary and buy recreational cannabis?
Regulating cannabis like alcohol is a great idea, but comparing the two is a crazy idea. Responsible alcohol use is acceptable, but if you can’t handle your whiskey, you’re a bigger threat to society than anyone who’s stoned.
