420 with CNW – Stanford Research Shows Marijuana Improves the Sex Life of Women

Researchers at Stanford University were intrigued by the numerous reports on the internet claiming that cannabis was beneficial to the sex lives of women. The researchers therefore decided to put that anecdotal evidence to the test. The results, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, confirmed that women had better sexual experiences if they consumed cannabis before indulging in sex. Don’t imagine that bespectacled old scientists stood by with their microscopes and other instruments in order to measure what was happening as the study’s subjects had sex. No, nothing of the sort happened. Instead, an Obstetrics/Gynecology (ObGyn) clinical practice was…

Nevada State Senator Tick Segerblom summarized it well in his opening remarks when he said, “Welcome to Amsterdam on steroids!” Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, has previously held the record for being the best destination for those who…

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.

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.
