420 with CNW — New Study Concludes That Crime Reduction Effects of Cannabis Legalization Are Underestimated

For years, drug-reform activists in America argued that the country’s prohibitionist policies were counterproductive; instead of curbing drug abuse and crippling the criminal enterprises behind the drug trade, prohibition has imprisoned countless people of color for minor drug charges, shackling them with criminal records for the rest of their lives, and enriched the drug cartels that supply the black market with drugs. Decades after former President Richard Nixon declared the war on drugs, the movement has been declared a failure by most pundits. Drug-reform advocates argued that rather than prohibit the sale of cannabis, launching a legal, regulated market would…

420 with CNW — Cannabis Legalization Caused Significant Decline in Illegal Cannabis Seizure Samples

Research led by a top cannabis investigator for the federal government revealed that state-level cannabis legalization has left the DEA with few samples of seized illicit marijuana to analyse.

The study, which was published in the “Biological Psychiatry” journal, was authored by Mahmoud ElSohly. ElSohly is in charge of the country’s sole federally authorized marijuana growing facility at the University of Mississippi. The study states that the number of samples received over the last…

420 with CNW — Must-Know Benefits of Diapers Made from Hemp

Until a couple of years ago, the cultivation and sale of hemp were outlawed in the United States. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, however, farmers can now grow hemp once their states or tribes opt into the hemp program and draft rules for the hemp market. Hemp and marijuana are from the same family of plants with the caveat that hemp does not intoxicate users because it has limited amounts of THC, the chemical compound responsible for marijuana’s psychoactive effects. Despite this, hemp has enjoyed continued demand since commercial cultivation thanks to its wide variety of applications. Hemp has…
