420 with CNW — Lung Cancer Case Report Triggers Calls for Additional Research on Cannabidiol

Although cannabidiol (“CBD”) has grown extremely popular over the past couple of years thanks to anecdotal user claims of medical efficacy, most scientists have been reluctant to say anything conclusive until they carry out more in-depth research. Users have claimed that CBD can be effective against pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia; in limited circles, some even claim that the hemp extract can kill cancer cells. But as the research on CBD’s potential benefits and risks is limited and in its infancy, experts have cautioned against using CBD as an alternative to prescribed medication, especially when life-threatening conditions like cancer are…

420 with CNW — NIDA Tells Congress Drug Scheduling Is Hindering Cannabis Research

Marijuana’s federal classification as a Schedule I controlled substance has consistently been a thorn in the plant’s side, especially as more states have chosen to legalize it in various capacities.

420 with CNW — Real Estate Survey Shows Proximity to Marijuana Firms Is Attractive

In just a few short years, marijuana reform legislation has had a major impact. The nascent industry has created thousands of new jobs, generated billions of dollars in revenue and filled state coffers with millions in tax money. With every passing day, attitudes on the controversial plant are evolving and changing, undoing the damage done by decades of federal prohibition little by little.
