Views: 2 This new generation is…healthier? Perhaps what can be summed up by better education and awareness, teen use of marijuana is down about 3 percentage points from last year for 12th graders (25.8% this year from 29% in 2023). There is certainly nuance within the numbers, as vaping has remained stable while smoking is […]
Views: 4 It’s pretty common to use cannabis for the loosening of neural pathways we’re stuck within. But how exactly does it work? Senior Savvy Cannabis dives into the science behind it, and it’s pretty fascinating. Basically, cannabis does three things in tandem to your brain. It boosts dopamine, lowers self-doubt, and activates the prefrontal […]
Views: 2 Marijuana is embraced and enforced in very different ways across the globe, and that was exemplified in the news this week coming from Japan and Canada. Japan, for instance, has gotten even harsher with its enforcement of the plant. Marijuana has been banned for a long time in the country, but as the […]
Views: 4 Thought it’d be a good day to send out a reminder that legal marijuana is very good business for states. The latest example comes from Missouri. Last year, when Missouri legalized marijuana, they had projected $40 million annually for the state, and $13.8 million for local governments through tax revenue. Instead, the year […]
Views: 4 Texas is a huge state, and within it lie multitudes. This is why there are a handful of cities decriminalizing marijuana while the larger whole is adamantly against the idea. Naturally, this has caused some friction, and resulted in the State Attorney General suing some of the cities who have made this move. […]
Views: 2 It’s been a bit of a long, bureaucracy-filled road towards rescheduling marijuana. Once the decision moved to the DEA, they opened up a period for public comment over the summer, and after that things seemed ready for a finalization until the DEA decided to go an extra step and induce a hearing that […]
Views: 4 Things are changing fast over in the Trump camp, and no one he’s nominating for a cabinet position is a sure thing (goodbye Matt Gaetz) but things are starting to settle down and no one else is causing as much hoopla as the Attorney General pick, so we might as well see what […]
Views: 4 Ken Paxton is no stranger to hostility towards weed. This January, he sued the cities of Austin, San Marcos, Killeen, Elgin and Denton who had all decriminalized weed. Two have been dismissed so far in Austin and San Marcos, and one settlement was made in Elgin because decriminalization never materialized. Now, after Dallas […]
Views: 4 It’s still very difficult to discern which of Trump’s department nominees could glean enough to votes to get confirmed to the government, but the logic of “not all of them can get rejected” will probably hold a good amount of sway. So, if RFK gets in as the head of the US Department […]
Views: 4 Matt Gaetz, the Representative from Florida, is certainly a politician who is rife with controversy. The problems run the gamut, from sexual misconduct, to illicit drug use, and to bribery. An investigation into him was imminently going to be released, however this week he resigned from the House, thereby making it so there […]
