420 with CNW — How No-Till Cultivation Can Be Beneficial to Marijuana Growers

There is an emerging trend in which marijuana growers are switching to techniques that involve the use of living soil, such as the no-till method, to grow their crops.

In this system, the soil isn’t cultivated as is usually the case in conventional agriculture. Instead, mulch and cover crops are used to provide an enabling environment for the robust proliferation of microorganisms,…

420 with CNW — Top Democrat in Florida Sues Federal Government Over Gun Rights of Marijuana Users

Cannabis users in America often run afoul of federal law for consuming state-legal cannabis. Since federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance with no accepted medical applications and a high risk of abuse, federal institutions strictly prohibit it. The result is cannabis users being penalized for engaging in actions that are legal in their home states. This includes a federal rule that prohibits marijuana users from purchasing a gun. Gun buyers have to fill out a federal form that includes a question on whether or not they use cannabis. The form explicitly states that cannabis is…
