420 with CNW – Senate Could Hold Hearings on Cannabis Banking Later this Month

The Senate Banking Committee could schedule hearings on bipartisan legislation on cannabis banking in as little as two weeks.

420 with CNW – Witnesses and Lawmakers Share Views on Federal Marijuana Policy Reform Strategy

Last week, the Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security sub-committee of the powerful House Judiciary Committee held a landmark session in which they listened to testimony from a variety of experts on how marijuana prohibition could be brought to an end federally. This hearing was largely focused on evidence, unlike previous Congressional discussions on the matter that largely seemed to be driven by scaremongering. However, there were some disagreements regarding the strategy that should be used to legislate marijuana policy reforms. For example, Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) argued that the Democrats were wrongly framing the issue along racial lines and this…

What’s the Deal with CBD Water?

Apparently, you can put CBD in just about anything. If topical creams, candies, and flower weren’t enough, a few genius brands have figured out how to infuse CBD into water. This is a mildly amazing feat, considering that oil and water typically don’t mix. Perhaps needless to say, a little science is necessary to unite the two together. To successfully merge CBD in a water substance, manufacturers use a special kind of nanotechnology to emulsify CBD particles with another water-soluble compound. The result is an antioxidant-infused water with evenly dispersed amounts of CBD. This nanotechnology was originally developed as a…
