Last week, Rep.

The Republican Congresswoman revealed in an interview on Fox Business that she was raped when she was 16, explaining that the prescribed medications to deal with depression which she’d been given only made her feel worse, which is why she turned to marijuana for help. Mace asserted that she understood the need to offer access to vulnerable communities, such as military veterans who suffer from various…

A coalition of attorneys general from different states has written a letter to the leaders of Congress regarding cannabis legislation.

420 with CNW — Should Alcohol Sellers Worry about Competition from Cannabis-Infused Drinks?

Marijuana products are legally available in Guam, Washington, DC, and 19 other states. In states where recreational marijuana is legal, THC-infused drinks such as Hi5, Kalo, Keef, Cann and Wunder are marketed alongside other drinks, including wine and beer.

420 with CNW — Activists Rally Governors on Marijuana Interstate Commerce Protections

However, marijuana’s classification as a federally controlled substance has held the nascent but lucrative industry back, preventing cannabis companies from accessing crucial financial services, placing strict restrictions on marketing and advertising, and making interstate commerce nearly impossible. A group of cannabis activists is now urging businesses in the cannabis space to help them ask governors from key marijuana states…

Rather than two blocks with uniform political views, it’s more like a range of views that lean either right or left. However,…
