The result is a lot of push and pull between Republicans and Democrats while consumers sometimes have to contend with a wide variety of subpar, contaminated and even unsafe cannabis products. In Florida, both sides of the political spectrum are setting aside their differences to work on a major cannabis reform bill that would potentially fix an oversight left by the 2018 farm bill. The farm bill legalized the cultivation and…

420 with CNW — How the Marijuana Industry Is Leveraging the CPG Technique

The state-legal cannabis industry has come quite a long way, all things considered.

420 with CNW — Patients, Doctors Now Discussing Medical Marijuana

Cannabis has always been a controversial topic. Even as dozens of states passed medical cannabis regulations and more studies found that the plant had plenty of medical potential, the stigma around cannabis remained. Not only did this prevent important conversations surrounding topics such as the disproportionate effects of cannabis prohibition from happening early enough, but it also kept patients from talking about cannabis with their doctors, even if they stood to benefit a great deal from marijuana-based treatment.
