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. This method is increasing in popularity because of its beneficial effects on the environment, its ability to reduce grower costs and its positive effects on the quality of the marijuana harvested at the end of the grow cycle. 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 — New Poll Says Most Americans Want Cannabis Federally Legalized

America has prohibited cannabis at the federal level for decades, prosecuting and sentencing people with cannabis-related convictions harshly. Even though dozens of states have now legalized cannabis and several lawmakers are working on federal legalization bills, it is unlikely that marijuana will be federally legalized any time soon. However, drug-reform activists and industry stakeholders will be glad to know that a significant percentage of the American population supports federal legalization. A recent poll by CBS News revealed that two-thirds of U.S. citizens would like cannabis to be legal at both the state and federal levels. Additionally, most people said that…

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…

420 with CNW — New Poll Suggests Parents Are Willing to Give Kids CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound produced by plants in the cannabis family. Since most of the CBD on the American market is extracted from hemp, a nonpsychoactive form of cannabis, cannabidiol will not intoxicate you. For the past couple of years, people have been turning to this hemp extract as an alternative medicine for a variety of health problems. Studies have shown that it can be effective at alleviating the symptoms of medical conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety depression and insomnia. Furthermore, the FDA has approved a CBD-based drug called Epidiolex to treat two rare forms of pediatric…

420 with CNW — A Look at the Relationship Between Different Social Media Platforms and Marijuana

The cannabis industry operates in a sort of regulatory limbo where dozens of states have legal cannabis markets, but federal law explicitly outlaws the production and sale of cannabis. This means that although marijuana businesses pay taxes, there are significant restrictions placed on them by federal legislations. One restriction placed on the cannabis industry is on advertising. For example, because the controversial plant is considered a Class I controlled substance with a high potential for abuse, the Cannabis Control Commission in Massachusetts doesn’t allow cannabis businesses to advertise on most platforms unless data shows that they can reasonably expect at…

420 with CNW — Marijuana Firms Boost Online Sales by Leveraging UX Design

Due to restrictions placed on the cannabis market by federal prohibition, players in the nascent industry cannot market or sell their products through regular chains. Furthermore, patchwork cannabis regulations make it extremely tricky for cannabis businesses to expand to other states. As a result, many cannabis businesses across the country are tapping into a resource that has essentially revolutionalized commerce: the internet. By building navigable and user-friendly websites, cannabis businesses can open up their market base without having to spend millions of dollars opening stores out of state. Marijuana businesses are now investing in user-experience (UX) design to ensure their…

420 with CNW — Analysis Shows Access to Recreational Cannabis Reduces Prescription Drugs Demand

Prescription drugs have got to be among the most influential human inventions of all time. Thanks to these medications, people have been able to recuperate from illnesses and injuries that would have otherwise taken their lives. However, prescription medications aren’t without risk. Some of these medications have such serious side effects that they actually reduce the quality of life of patients while they are going through treatment. As such, there has been a push for alternative medicines for the past couple of years. Cannabis has emerged as a possible alternative to pharmaceuticals. In fact, a recent analysis by researchers from…
