Indica equals “In Da Couch” and Sativa gets your mind stimulated. That, along with earthy aromas for indica and a sweeter smell for sativa, is how the thinking goes. But this may be an extreme simplification that just doesn’t hold up when analyzed. A team of researchers at Dalhousie University went deep, studying hundreds of […]
After testing for most products was botched over a three month period at Viridis Laboratories in Michigan, the state’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency has issued a large recall. Notably, products that do not fall under this recall are “inhalable marijuana concentrate products” like vapes, live resin, and distillate. This could be devastating to some retailers in […]
So maybe federal legalization isn’t as bipartisan as we previously thought… As soon as Republican Representative Nancy Mace announced her legalization bill, GOP lawmakers from her hometown of South Carolina released a statement against the effort. “Unequivocally, the South Carolina Republican Party is against any effort to legalize, decriminalize the use of controlled substances, and […]
The war of “Legalization Details” is about the begin–a new phase spawned after everyone is pretty much in agreement that the plant should be legal. In the House, Republicans have announced their own legalization bill called the States Reform Act (not the flashiest title, imo). The bill is sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace from South […]
The sales numbers for marijuana in the month of September were 6% lower than August in the state of Colorado. September had a total of $181.1 million in sales, while August reached $192.9, according to a sales report. Now one month is not nearly enough data to show any sort of pattern, but the downward […]
A VERY fascinating poll just came out of Ohio, as reported by Marijuana Moment, that shows more Republican lawmakers in favor of marijuana legalization than Democrat ones.

Lots of businesses including Canopy Growth, Weedmaps, and Cresco Labs have started a pretty big campaign that advocates for weed legalization. Along with those giant businesses are Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman, and comedian Jessimae Peluso. Drawing attention to frustrating dichotomy between bipartisan civilian support and political gridlock, Seth Rogen says in a video “despite […]
A study in Israel came out that shows the strong ability of marijuana to curb the use of opioids before it becomes an addiction. Published in the Journal of Addictive Disorders, investigators at Tel Aviv University prescribed medical cannabis to non-cancer specific chronic pain patients, and of those who began their treatment with opioids, 93% […]
A pretty huge merger went under our radar last month, with Canopy Growth, the biggest marijuana company in Canada, buying up a Colorado-based edibles company Wana. They are the number one edibles brand in North America, so Canopy Growth’s interest is certainly warranted. This comes at a time where more and more Canadian companies are […]
It was an off-year election yesterday, but that doesn’t mean big referendums on the topic of marijuana and psychedelics didn’t occur. One of the biggest results, of course, is the election of a Republican Governor in Virginia. While that doesn’t carry any weight around the already legalized cannabis in the state, it could easily complicate […]
