People are being diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) from using bootleg THC cartridges containing hydrogen cyanide, and I can’t help but wonder how we got to this point. The tests on legal vaping carts did not contain hydrogen cyanide, so we can’t blame this on vape nation. However, the tainted THC carts show us symptoms of a larger problem in America. Cannabis is considered a schedule one narcotic federally in our country. This means that we do not recognize it as having any healthcare applications and believe that it is highly addictive. Another Schedule I narcotic is PCP. Even methamphetamine is considered a Schedule II narcotic, which is legal to prescribe in the US under the name Desoxyn. As research has shown us, cannabis has a myriad of health benefits from anti-inflammatory and pain relief to seizure and PTSD, and the scheduling of medications in the US is extremely political. Because of the extreme anti-marijuana propaganda from the 1930s, cannabis was thrown into Schedule I, and being caught selling or using it can send you to jail and cause hefty fines.

I've never had PTSD, but I've been with many a friend and family member who has, and still is, dealing with it. It can be crippling not only to the individual who has it, but also to the family and friends of that person as well. It's not something to take lightly, ever.

I was born and raised in Texas, and I am a mother, wife, homeschooler, photographer, waitress, and cannabis advocate. I wasn't raised in the cannabis community, actually the opposite. I grew up in the 90s and I was taught as a child that drugs were bad, and pot wasn't just any drug. It was a gateway drug. I was taught that if I tried pot, it would lead me to using all of the other drugs like crystal meth, etc. The schools, the media, even my family taught me that.

Hemp is inarguably one of the most versatile and useful plants on the planet.

I've been called "classy" by my smoker friends since I'm an edibles-only girl. On top of that, I've always been a baker. Then I went to college.

In 2019, I'm no longer afraid to say it—I smoke a ton of weed. Well, maybe smoke isn't necessarily the right word anymore, so let me rephrase that: I consume a large amount of THC. After all, smoking weed is SO 2018. I think it's important to switch up your methods, especially when you're looking at it from a health standpoint.

We’ve all been there: we take a huge bite out of a brownie or cookie, expecting it to taste like sweet, fudgey heaven.

A lot of people disregard marijuana, weed, pot, reefer, etc. as a gateway drug. I believe it can be depending on the person, as it was in my case. Trying any substance can easily lead to curiosity of other substances. I smoked marijuana for the first time my freshman year in high school. I fell in love with the effects of being high. I got to the point to where I would skip class to get high with friends. My senior year I would smoke marijuana every night before bed. I noticed I would be extremely sleepy and groggy the next morning. I would fall asleep during class and get in trouble. Marijuana would make me lazy, tired, and unproductive. I told myself I would never try any other drug, especially meth or heroin. Marijuana would lead me to curiosity of other substances later on.

Terpenes, in short

I will be the first to admit that I am very tightly wound. I describe myself as a Type A personality who really needs to chill. In my own defense, when you grow up in a household with an emotionally absent, OCD, hypochondriacal, critical narcissist for a mother, it would be pretty impossible to be laid back. Of course, I only discovered how dysfunctional my mother was when I left home to go to university in 1972. I thought everyone grew up in a similar environment.

The question of how medical cannabis can help with fibromyalgia is a serious consideration for many people living with this condition.

With the legalization of cannabis, collecting information related to vaping is a must for Newbies. First-time users need to be familiar with everything related to smoking weed. You also have to understand the right amount of dosage to avoid side effects.

If you’ve seen the news or been on the internet lately, I’m sure you’re well aware that the cannabis business is booming right now. With more and more states legalizing pot, more and more businesses are coming out of the woodworks to offer their goods and services. If you run your own cannabis shop, or are looking to start one up someday, here are a few ideas to get your mind on the right page.

I was born and raised in Texas, and I am a mother, wife, homeschooler, photographer, waitress, and cannabis advocate. I wasn't raised in the cannabis community, actually the opposite. I grew up in the 90s and I was taught as a child that drugs were bad, and pot wasn't just any drug. It was a gateway drug. I was taught that if I tried pot, it would lead me to using all of the other drugs like crystal meth, etc. The schools, the media, even my family taught me that.

As a young adult, I was dating a boy for about two years in high school. We both made a promise to each other to refrain from pot and sex until we were eighteen and prepared. One night I went to bring him some food at work where he was closing until eleven, and at 6 PM he was gone... I didn’t hear from him for two more days, as his mom and I frantically searched for answers. He had smoked weed with friends breaking our promise and passed out for a whole day.

Legalization is not only about sitting stoned on the couch all day people. The generations that have suffered through war fighting for this country have everything from PTSD to pain in their bodies that legalization of cannabis can help relieve.

Investors have never been faced with a market which is so wide open while the market is in its infancy. We know the market in Canada and the United States will multiply by at least five times, and perhaps by 10 times or more. That is going to create many stock market successes. Picking who will finish first in this very quickly maturing group… that’s extraordinarily difficult. The market has already recognized one group of winners. We’re talking about the biggest Canadian producers… those who “planted their flag” not only in the Canadian market, but in the developing European medical Cannabis market. I am convinced that those companies able to establish reputable, reliable, recognizable brands will be the second, and bigger, set of winners—and most investors have not yet come to this realization. That creates an opportunity to make colossally sized gains from a new set of stocks. Brands will be so important because they’ve always been important to consumers. When a consumer goes to buy orange juice, he or she might have an idea of the varietal in mind… the part of the world he or she is looking to have juice from… but most likely something that is a known brand. Maybe it’ll be low to medium priced juice. And as our consumer moves up the value chain, brands become even more important. That brand is what tells consumers what to expect from the product. At the very high end, the way people plan their Investor’s Report to Cannabis is no different. People will want different types, or at least different effects. But they will come to depend on brands to tell them what to expect, rather than having to become a Cannabis guru. The companies that realize the importance of branding and have chosen to build their brand where consumers are choosiest of all: Medical Cannabis. Consumers who currently have to ask their doctors or quiz overworked retail associates at a dispensary to find the right mix of THC and CBD can count on their brand to get exactly what they want every time they buy.

Around a year ago, my friend and I decided we wanted to launch a business in the CBD industry. For a few months, we looked at different products we could launch, but found that there were a lot of companies all selling essentially the same thing with little difference other than the name.

I own a new, successful beauty business called GLAUX CHEM® that has two essential and natural ingredients in all of our products: hemp seed oil and pomegranate seed oil.

I've never had PTSD, but I've been with many a friend and family member who has, and still is, dealing with it. It can be crippling not only to the individual who has it, but also to the family and friends of that person as well. It's not something to take lightly, ever.

Cannabis is the most widely used illicit substance in the western world, assuaged by the impact of cannabis on mankind since 2900 BC. If one were to argue that cannabis, a plant that grows from seeds in the earth, is bad because of its destructive influence on society, bringing detriment and fiscal relief as the Class 1 substance, like LSD or heroin, to the public and police officers, respectively. This is the world we live in.

You don’t have to wait long on late night TV for some comedian to take shots at the idea of people using marijuana for medical purposes. Dr. Lynn Parodneck, whose private practice in Mt. Kisco is now offering marijuana consultations, has no problem joining in lightheartedly. “The jokes are funny,” she freely admits. But she hasn’t taken up the cause to be part of a national punchline. The closure of St Vincent's in Manhattan gave her the impetus to leave behind her gynecological practice and take the opportunity to help people who are suffering.

After a recent interesting experience going in to buy marijuana with my mom (WTAF?), I realized that a lot of people in America must be newly being introduced to these good times everyday, and how annoying is that?

Have you ever sat down in your hazy apartment at 1 PM and decided to take a couple hits of weed before your personal training session at 3 PM? Did that couple of hits turn into an entire bowl, and did you get a text message from your trainer at 1:30? Did it read, “See you at 2!”

Living in a place where recreational marijuana is legal is pretty nice. Granted, I've never had much trouble finding my need for tree regardless of legality.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, cannabis cultivation was as taboo as it got. No respected book publisher would talk about how to grow marijuana - let alone describe the steps in detail. For the most part, it was one of those topics that was never broached except in closely guarded circles, in hushed voices.

Few movies are as ridiculous as Reefer Madness, a 1936 "documentary" featuring fictionalized characters who, after smoking marijuana once or twice, behave in a manner that would only appear realistic if you've never seen a person get high in your life before. Which, of course, is probably what happened.
