420 with CNW — FDA Examines Possibility of Regulating CBD Products as Supplements

420 with CNW — Can Marijuana Shield Brain Against Alzheimer’s Disease

With more and more states choosing to legalize cannabis, there has been a significant surge in marijuana research. Several studies have found that cannabis can be effective at alleviating conditions such as inflammation, anxiety disorders and drug addiction. Specifically, marijuana’s possible mental health benefits have drawn in plenty of eager scientists.

420 with CNW — Climate Change Could Influence How, Where Marijuana Is Grown

Marijuana is rarely on the table whenever discussions of climate change are underway. However, as the world grapples with the effects of decades of greenhouse emissions and runaway climate change, cannabis growers will find that they have to adapt. It is essentially the same issue that has disrupted agricultural-based industries such as wine: shifting weather patterns coupled with climate change are making regions that have previously the perfect conditions for cultivating inhospitable.
