According to a data analysis conducted by a team of researchers at the University of New Mexico, cannabis flower can do a much better job of boosting your energy levels than other common substances such as energy drinks or coffee. Those substances are traditionally used to get a lift when energy levels are down. The team looked at the real-time data availed by medical marijuana users who have the Releaf app, an application through which cannabis users can track the marijuana products that they use and the effects that those products trigger. This study is important because many health conditions…

So should or shouldn’t marijuana companies hire people with college degrees? For starters, those arguing against college degrees in the cannabis industry or anywhere else say that those degrees create a widening divide that locks out a huge majority of people from the lucrative job opportunities available.

420 with CNW — NJ Legislators File Bills Seeking to Prevent Off-Duty Cannabis Use by Police

We reported about the controversy that had arisen when the New Jersey attorney general penned a memo clarifying that, under existing law, police officers aren’t barred from consuming cannabis while off duty. As a result of that memo, several bills have been filed in order to empower employers, including law enforcement agencies, to ban the use of marijuana by people occupying safety-sensitive jobs, including those in law enforcement.

420 with CNW — Assessing Impaired Driving Is Evolving as Cannabis Legalization Spreads

When the current wave of marijuana legalization hadn’t fully taken root around the country, concerns about impaired driving mainly focused on alcohol. Today, impaired driving can be due to alcohol, cannabis and, in some few cases, medications. For a police officer looking for impaired drivers, there is a growing challenge to distinguish cannabis impairment from impairment caused by alcohol consumption. This is because there is no agreement about how much THC, the cannabis compound responsible for making users high, is sufficient to cause a driver to be impaired. Additionally, impaired drivers exhibit the same signs, such as swerving while driving,…

This is in contrast to people living in states that have enacted enabling…

420 with CNW — How Cannabis Use Has Evolved During the Pandemic

While marijuana has been in existence for centuries, it is still a controversial plant. The U.S. federal government classifies it under Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act alongside hard drugs such as meth and cocaine despite the DEA admitting in 2020 that no cannabis overdose has ever been recorded. An estimated 55 million people in the U.S. use marijuana, and many more states continue to enact marijuana laws either through legislative means or through ballot measures. So how has the use of this substance evolved in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic? Sales jumped in many states When the…
