Walsh explained that the Department of Labor was focused on ensuring that what the president said was carried out,…

420 with CNW — DEA Admits It Was Founded Based on Ethnic, Class and Racial Prejudice

These days, most pundits agree that the war on drugs is a failure. After decades of prohibition, the drug war has barely dented the illicit drug trade but contributed to the incarceration of thousands of Black people. Under prohibitionist policies, law enforcement waged a war on Black and Brown communities for decades in what some called the new Jim Crow. Black people were and still are four times more likely to be arrested for cannabis consumption despite similar use rates as White people, and they are subject to harsher sentences. Analysis of the cannabis-related arrests that occurred in the five…

420 with CNW — FBI Arrest Data on Cannabis Full of Inconsistencies Despite Improvements Made to Reporting System

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has spent millions of tax dollars and the last seven years updating its reporting system for crime statistics. The use of the agency’s National Incident-Based Reporting System was meant to offer clear and nationally representative data on crime trends in the country. However, the new data doesn’t give complete information, especially concerning drug arrests across America during the past year. If anything, the end result for last year’s data raises questions for individuals tracking trends on drug enforcement, which include cannabis-related arrests. The FBI’s fragmented data on the criminalization of drugs still shows that marijuana…

420 with CNW — An Analysis of Current Marijuana Users within the US

Cannabis has been one of the most-used drugs in the United States and the world at large for decades. Despite being prohibited until the early 2000s, cannabis had enjoyed top status as an extremely popular drug amid extremely strict policing and harsh sentencing. Now that dozens of U.S. states and territories have launched legal cannabis markets, access to cannabis among Americans has increased exponentially. These days, cannabis is consumed in demographics that you would never even think of just a decade or two ago.

420 with CNW — Despite Regulatory Lacuna, CBD Foods and Drinks Are Growing in Popularity

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound largely produced by hemp, a plant from the cannabis family. However, unlike the marijuana plant, hemp is not intoxicating because it usually contains little to no levels of the psychotropic compound delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD’s main claim to fame is that it is said to have potent medical properties. Initial studies have found that the compound may be able to alleviate chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia, among other things. Cannabidiol has grown exceedingly popular in recent years due to its purported medical benefits coupled with the fact that it can be consumed in a…
