There’s much debate right now about which North American states will be the next to legalize recreational cannabis. The one thing that everybody knows for sure is that it is absolutely a case of when it happens, at opposed to if. There are already several potential proposals and measures being discussed behind closed doors and [...]
All across the United States, the fledgling legal cannabis industry is facing one very specific and important hurdle. In fact, it is probably just about the only thing that both cannabis critics and industry players alike can comprehensively agree on. Which is, of course, the small matter of ensuring that cannabis stays out of the [...]
As studies into the benefits of cannabis continue, more unfounded fiction is being replaced with scientific facts.

It seems that there are some for whom even proven scientific evidence isn’t enough [...]
It’s already been four months since California not only took recreational marijuana to the ballot box, but also gave it the green light by a solid enough majority.

From an outsider’s perspective, the cannabis community in the United States is right now just about the luckiest in the entire world. They might not have gone quite so far as Uruguay, but the pot policy reforms rolled out of the last few months have been both historic and life-changing for millions. It’s the dawn [...]
For much of recent history, the UK has been making headlines with regard to cannabis policy for all the wrong reasons. As much of the United States and various European countries make enormous advances with new cannabis legislation, the UK government continues to bury its head in the sand. Cannabis is still officially labelled a [...]
Despite on-going efforts by local and national governments, the war on opioid addiction and abuse in the United States is failing. The statistics are no less than shocking – approximate 90 Americans die every single day from opioid overdoses.
