2016 turned out to be one of the most significant in the history of cannabis in the United States. Chances are, November’s vote will go down as a turning point for both the industry and attitudes to cannabis in general – both of which have changed largely beyond recognition across much of the country. Colorado [...]
You’d like to think that medical marijuana would be the kind of thing that everyone with generally negative intentions would stay away from. If you’re on the critical side of the fence and don’t believe in the stuff, you have no right to tell others not to use it. They might not believe in prescription [...]
Sometimes, hearing lawmakers, experts and officials admit that cannabis is actually safe can be extremely satisfying. Knowing that longstanding arguments in favour of cannabis legalization have been given further weight by those in prominent positions is generally only ever a good thing. But at the same time, there are also instances when and where these [...]
Whichever way you look at it, Colorado is doing a fantastic job of proving just how beneficial the legalization of recreational cannabis can be. Not only has the black market for marijuana pretty much dried up state-wide and driven thousands of criminals off the streets, but the extent to which legal cannabis is benefiting the [...]

The United Kingdom is falling embarrassingly, some say even dangerously behind when it comes to its domestic drugs policy. As the United States continues its journey towards total decriminalisation of cannabis, it’s as if things in the UK have somehow got stuck in a tired and frustrating loop. That’s the warning issued to the British [...]
Cannabis In India Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t only the United States where cannabis legalization has been changing and is expected to continue changing radically as of late. In various parts of Europe, New Zealand, Australia and indeed India, cannabis is one of the hottest talking points of recent years. The cannabis scene in [...]
Things are certainly happening right now for Canada’s fast-developing cannabis industry. However, whether things are heading in a wholly positive direction is a matter of some debate. What we know for sure is that the country is on the brink of becoming one of only two countries in the world where cannabis is legalized at [...]
One of the biggest of all grey clouds hanging over the cannabis industry in the United States is of course the bizarre stance adopted by the federal government.
