420 with CNW – Massachusetts Bill Seeks COVID-19 Relief for Marijuana Businesses

When state governments started ordering lockdowns and issuing stay at home orders, the economy took a severe hit. So severe, in fact, that the federal government passed a $2 trillion emergency relief package. Qualified citizens, along with small businesses, would receive cash payments and business loans to help them weather the financial storm. However, due to ongoing federal prohibition, businesses in the state-legal marijuana sector were barred from accessing these funds. There have been calls from stakeholders, advocates, and lawmakers to rectify the marijuana sector's omission if the government deploys another relief package.

Once it became clear that the coronavirus wasn't just passing by, governments all over deployed measures to help curb its spread. Social distancing and self-isolation were at the top of the list, along with shutting down all but the most essential businesses.

The response to these measures has been positive, and there have been calls for them to stay in place…

420 with CNW – THC-A: A Superior Neuroprotectant and Anti-Inflammatory Cannabinoid?

The past few years have been instrumental for cannabis. It has seen a slew of positive legislative changes and more states are willing to look at it objectively, especially in regard to its potential medical benefits. Although the science to back this up is scarce, we now know without a doubt that cannabis produces chemicals called cannabinoids, and they are responsible for its therapeutic abilities. The two most common ones are THC and CBD. THC is the main active component in marijuana and it is responsible for cannabis's infamous 'high.'
