Aeroponic systems utilize soilless growing mediums, liquid nutrients and water to efficiently and quickly grow nutritious produce.

420 with CNW — White House Asks for Comments on How Underserved Communities Face Barriers Due to Drug Policies

Despite starting with relatively noble intentions, the drug war is considered an unmitigated failure by many.

As such, the White House, via its drug policy arm, has opened a 30-day comment period in a bid to see whether existing…

One of the objectives of legalizing marijuana was to draw clientele away from the black market and deprive the criminal organizations behind it of revenue from cannabis sales, but most states have failed to do major damage to illicit cannabis sales. To add insult to injury, a large percentage of illegal marijuana is grown on public land, and since cannabis is a water-intensive plant, these illegal grows tend to steal a lot of water as well. In a bid to curb the…
