New iPhone Update takes Cannabis as a consideration in Health App

Apple is slowing changing course on marijuana. A year ago, they finally allowed marijuana delivery apps to charge through the app as opposed to forcing them to make payments on a separate website. Now, Apple’s Health app is allowing you to see how your medication interacts with cannabis.
