With some studies finding that this cannabis is often contaminated by mold in many cases, industry stakeholders have argued that the DEA needs to approve more cultivators. Now a new study has revealed what most cannabis researchers already suspected:…

420 with CNW — Study Finds Cannabis Legalization Has No Link to Increased Suicide, Mental Illness
