420 with CNW — The Arguments For, Against Capping THC Concentration

Anyone who consumed cannabis in the ‘80s and ‘90s knows that these days, the compound is much stronger. The controversial plant is now allowed in several countries around the world with more than 40 states in America legalizing it in different ways. As the relatively young state-legal cannabis industry grows and matures, some have raised questions about marijuana's increasing potency and the effects it may have on developing brains. THC is the main cannabinoid responsible for cannabis's intoxicating effects, and as cannabis companies develop more potent products, lawmakers across the country have started talking about potency caps.

420 with CNW — Researchers Debunk Lazy Stoner Mentality Surrounding Marijuana Use

A common notion that surrounds marijuana is that cannabis users are indolent individuals who are basically couch potatoes, vegging out while eating snacks in bed. While the origins of this stereotype aren’t clear, we can at least agree that marijuana helps individuals sleep, which isn’t a bad thing now, is it?

As a matter of fact, the study found that frequent and light users…

Colorado, for instance, has had a fantastic run so far. Its recreational cannabis industry has raked in nearly $10 billion dollars and filled the state's coffers with billions of dollars in cannabis taxes. However, now that next door neighbor New Mexico has legalized recreational marijuana, some cannabis operators in Colorado fear their profit margins will start thinning once New Mexico launches its cannabis industry in 2022. Colorado launched recreational cannabis sales in 2014,…

A casual look at the cannabis industry will reveal that the sector uses a lot of energy in grow rooms — so is the industry doomed to continue operating in ways that aren’t sustainable? Not at all — several ways are available to “green up” this sector as discussed below. Switch to sustainable agricultural practices One sustainable practice is installing a recirculation system for the water used in grow rooms. Such a system would not only capture but also treat any water that would have otherwise been lost as plants are irrigated. Lightshade, a Colorado-based integrated cannabis company, is already…
