Smokable bud is finally coming to Florida's medical dispensaries. Yesterday I wrote about a Florida cannabis story, one that was a fine example of very poor judgment in the South. But it was about Florida, so that's a given. As far as cannabis goes, things are generally improving in the South,

Seniors Chronic Pain Can Be Treated With Cannabis
Many of us have a grandparent or elderly family member who, under doctors' orders, are taking more pharmaceuticals than they would like for chronic pain, side effects and all. But with more states allowing cannabis access through medical and recreational adult-use programs, some seniors are coming around to the idea that
Cancer Patient Harassed By Cops Over Cannabis
Will Illinois Legalize Cannabis?
There's a good chance you're as tired of reading about Oregon's cannabis oversupply as I am about writing about it. Then again, oversupply equals lower prices, so perhaps partaking of those readily available $7 to $10 grams of BHO before reading my coverage are making it a less arduous undertaking. Win/win. Taking
There’s Too Much Cannabis In Oregon Right Now
Oregon produces more cannabis than it consumes, causing endless consternation from regulatory and law enforcement agencies. This oversupply has resulted in threats from the state’s attorney general that authorities needed to step up their efforts to deal with it. It’s also sent weed prices plunging 50 percent last year, and predictions
MedMen And Other Garbage Brands Oppose Medical Cannabis Home Grows In New York
One of the most cannabis-intolerent states for decades, New York, has recently made cannabis legalization a fast-track issue, from city to statehouse. That's great news, but late week it came to light that some interests do not want a recreational cannabis program that allows individuals to grow their own at
Canadian Cannabis Update
Let’s check in on how Canada’s doing with its national legalization of cannabis, four months in. It’s the largest cannabis legalization program ever undertaken, and even though Americans do terribly in learning from other countries (or from history), perhaps we can buck that trend and take away some insight from the
California Legalizes Statewide Cannabis Deliveries
When California implemented their legalized recreational cannabis program, one thing that wasn't worked out was the possibility of home delivery service. The convenience factor of having a wide variety of lab-tested cannabis products brought to your home, allowing you to forgo leaving the damn house, is one of the marvels of
The NFL Doesn’t Like Medical Cannabis
On Sunday, February 3, the Super Bowl will be played between the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots, two teams hailing from states (California and Massachusetts) with regulated medical/recreational cannabis programs. One hundred million will watch, and while I won't be one of them, here's to a really big
Disabled Senior Evicted For Cannabis Use in Buffalo
Last month, John Flickner, a 78-year-old man in a wheelchair, was evicted from his Buffalo, New York, HUD low-income housing apartment because of cannabis. Not for growing or selling it, but because he was using it to treat chronic pain from a 50-year-old skydiving injury. It's extremely rare that someone obtains a

“Beyond Buds: Next Generation” Sets The Bar For Cannabis Books
There’s no shortage of books about cannabis, and the groaning, overstuffed top shelf of my ancient IKEA bookcase speaks to that in... volumes. Grow guides, histories of cannabis, reference sources, cookbooks, cannabis spa guides, how-to-roll-a-joint handbooks—when the Great Cascadia Earthquake hits, I will likely die crushed by a quarter ton
