Breathalyzers, blood tests and standard sobriety tests can be used by police officers to ascertain to a high degree of accuracy whether a driver has been impaired by alcohol. However, no such measures are available to law enforcement for the purpose of identifying drivers who are under the influence of marijuana. A company based in Quincy, Massachusetts, seems to have found a way to test for marijuana impairment, and the test relies on tears as samples for this test. Impairment Measurement Marijuana and Driving (“IMMAD”) is working with the Biomedical Forensics Program of Boston University’s School of Medicine to refine…

420 with CNW — NIDA Boss Asks for Reconsideration of Marijuana Criminalization

Decades after the United States began a campaign to hamper drug use in the country, it is pretty clear that the war on drugs has been a failure. Intense policing coupled with harsh sentencing may have worked on other crimes, but in the case of cannabis, this approach only ensured that certain communities were punished harshly for cannabis-related crimes while others weren't. The nationwide campaign to decriminalize drug use may have gained a major supporter after the head of a top federal drug agency criticized America's policy of treating drug use as a criminal problem rather than a public health…

420 with CNW — Free Cannabis for COVID Jabs Turns Out to Be Popular

The latest data from the U.S. CDC indicates that approximately one-third of all adults in the country have received full vaccination against COVID-19. As the statistics of doses administered on a daily basis start dropping, health officials have turned their focus upon individuals who express hesitation to get the jab. Smaller vaccination centers are mushrooming in a number of unexpected places, such as at strip clubs, to lure more people to get vaccinated. At the same time, people are being given different incentives to encourage them to get vaccinated. Incentives include savings bonds, cash and, in some cases, even booze.…

420 with CNW — Everything You Need to Know About Delta-8 THC

Long before lawmakers were considering legislation that would federally decriminalize cannabis, Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill. Among other things, this legislation legalized the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp and its derivatives. Hemp is a form of cannabis that has less than 0.3% THC, meaning any products made from hemp or its derivatives do not cause users to get high. For the past year or so, one of the components found in hemp has been enjoying increased market visibility, especially in New York State. If delta 8 THC sounds familiar, it's probably because it reminds you of the component…

420 with CNW — Public Defenders Accuse Bronx DA of Dragging Feet on Dropping Pending Cannabis Cases

In April, New York passed one of the most progressive recreational cannabis laws in the country, joining a small but growing number of states that now allow adult-use cannabis.

Each of the…
