A celebrity brand that gives back something to the community

DA in Dallas Easing Up On Cannabis

Cannabis Growing Spaces in Washington State Are Underutilized

Three New Dab Rigs to Consider

The FDA Wants to Hear From You on CBD

Since the Farm Bill passed earlier this year—and with it the legalization of hemp—CBD has become the white-hot next big thing, and it's showing up everywhere, in everything.

A Cannabis Card Game Encourages Talking With People. Play It Anyway.

East Coast Cannabis Jobs Pay More

Cannabis is rapidly becoming a big business, raising hundreds of millions in tax revenue on combined cannabis sales from various states in the billions of dollars. That's a lot of green. (Get it? Because money and weed are both... never mind.) A new survey by Marijuana Business Magazine pulls back the

Federally Grown Cannabis Required for Research Is Effectively Hemp

A new study has made some revealing discoveries about the cannabis grown at the University of Mississippi. That's the infamous and sole source of cannabis being used in federally funded cannabis research.

Women’s Orgasms, Sexual Satisfaction Improved With Cannabis

Fentanyl in Cannabis? That’s Not A Thing.

Kellyanne Conway lied about something! Again! This week, the White House counselor and opioid crisis czar falsely stated during a news conference, yet again, that cannabis is being laced with fentanyl, bringing her blatant-lie tally to roughly 218,738. The story is likely to gain traction with outlets such as Fox News, but

Alabama, Florida and Georgia Advance on Medical Cannabis Issues

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,
