420 with CNW — A Look at the Link Between Marijuana and Inflammation

Inflammation personifies the saying “too much of a good thing is bad.” Despite being one of the body’s first responders in case of infection or physical injury, inflammation also presents a significant risk to health. Acute inflammation is the body’s initial response to either infection or injury, and it is a crucial component of the body’s defense system. Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, happens when the body keeps sending inflammatory cells when there’s no present danger. A wide variety of medical inflammations including Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, heart disease and cancer can be traced to chronic inflammation. This kind of…

420 with CNW — SAFE Banking Act Sponsor Vows to See Bill Passed Before He Retires

Operating in the legal cannabis space is no mean feat. Due to the plant’s federal status as a controlled substance, marijuana businesses have to deal with a lot of issues that players in other industries don’t even have to think of. For starters, most banks refuse to work with marijuana businesses in fear of federal reprisals, forcing the businesses to operate on a largely cash-only basis.
