420 with CNW — Senate Leaders Have First Meeting to Discuss Cannabis Legalization Plan

The past few years have seen several states legalize recreational or medical cannabis. By 2020, more than 30 states allowed cannabis in various forms, and there was hope that eventually the wave of cannabis reform would reach the federal level. Toward the end of the year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a cannabis decriminalization bill that would definitely have stalled in the then Republican-controlled Senate. However, the Democrats clinched both the House and Senate majority, renewing the hope that one day, cannabis would be legal at the federal level. In late January, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer hosted a…

A South Dakota circuit judge has rejected an amendment that was approved by voters in the state during the November polls, ruling it as unconstitutional.

420 with CNW — How Is Marijuana Legalization Impacting Real Estate Prices?

The cannabis industry has come a long way from the days when states that didn’t criminalize the controversial drug were the exception rather than the norm.

Years later, we can see that most of those fears were unfounded. However, although marijuana legalization policies haven’t increased criminal activity or youth drug use, they have…

420 with CNW — How to Determine CBD Serving Sizes

Wise users of CBD try to be as exact as they possibly can when it comes to CBD doses. However, users should keep in mind that since cannabinoids are plants, they may tend go a little overboard if they don’t focus on the results of the quantity taken instead of the number of milligrams in a dose.
