420 with CNW – South African Cannabis Workshop Tickets Sell Out in Record Time

The first weekend of November witnessed the first ever cannabis grow workshop in Cape Town, South Africa. Event tickets were sold out in two days flat after the organizer, Grant Taylor, went to social media to announce the event. He said that the idea of organizing a workshop on how to grow marijuana was motivated by two things. First, the Constitutional Court ruled recently that adults were free to grow and consume cannabis in South Africa as long as it wasn’t sold or consumed in public. Secondly, Grant had previously tried to grow something and he had failed miserably. He…

420 with CNW – Why US Cannabis Companies Are Listing in Canada

Over the coming months and years, more and more U.S. cannabis companies are likely to move north in order to list on stock exchanges in Canada. Many short term and long-term interests are driving this move. First, Canada recently legalized recreational cannabis years after medical cannabis was permitted in that country. This means that the uniform laws in Canada make that country more attractive (for now) than the U.S. where marijuana companies operating in legal states must constantly look over their shoulders in fear because the federal authorities can take action against them for violating federal laws. Legitimate cannabis companies…

420 with CNW – Colorado Jury Rejects RICO Act Claim Against Marijuana Company

A few days ago, we reported about a landmark case in Colorado that had the potential to set a precedent that could have huge implications for the cannabis industry across the US. In that lawsuit, a couple sued a marijuana grow facility for making the plaintiffs’ property “lose value” due to the smell coming from the indoor cultivation facility. That case was the very first of its nature to reach a jury and the entire cannabis industry watched with bated breath to see what decision will be made once the hearings end and the jury retires to make its verdict.…

420 with CNW – Mexico Could Soon Legalize Recreational Marijuana

As the U.S. is still grappling with how to deal with the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, its challenges are likely to increase if what is happening in its other neighbor’s legal system results in the legalization of recreational pot. Last week, the Supreme Court in Mexico made two rulings to the effect that it was unconstitutional to prevent adults from consuming marijuana if they so wished. The cases that resulted in those rulings had been filed by individuals who were challenging the constitutionality of stopping them from consuming recreational marijuana. The court observed that adults have the right…

420 with CNW – Study Explains Why Cannabis Affects Men and Women Differently

A recent review of animal studies has found that the differences in the way men and women are affected by marijuana aren’t just a social or cultural construct. The review found that those differences are rooted in biology (the differences between the genders). The findings of the review appeared in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. The review explored the relationship between sex hormones like estrogen (estradiol), progesterone and testosterone on the endocannabinoid system in the body. That endocannabinoid system has similar (cannabinoids) chemicals to those found in cannabis. The researchers found that males are more likely to try marijuana…
