As such, cannabis reform proponents and industry stakeholders will be happy…

While America's state legal cannabis industry has grown steadily, creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs and generating billions in revenue, federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance.

Even though Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said that he is working on federal cannabis legislation and will advance it with or without the president's support, the Democrats' window for passing federal cannabis reform is…

420 with CNW — Study Finds That Cannabis Smokers Weigh Less Than Non-Smokers

Preclinical studies suggest that weight gain and increased food intake are some of the effects of marijuana consumption. However, new research proposes that individuals who smoke marijuana weigh less in comparison to those who do not. These findings go against the belief that users of cannabis pile on the pounds due to the munchies.

Conducted by Omayma Ashaarawy and James C. Anthony, the study was reported in the “International Journal of Epidemiology.” Alshaarawy,…

420 with CNW — 10 Senators Urge Feds to Grant Cannabis Firms Access to SBA Loans

Consequently, banks and financial institutions do not transact with businesses in the cannabis space, and, in many cases, they won’t even work with businesses that are indirectly connected to cannabis. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the resultant financial crisis, a group of senators has urged the federal government to…
