May 25-27, 2018, the Toronto metro convention centre hosted the Lift & Co expo.

I love drugs. I do drugs all the time; drugs help me focus in class and also help me with my anxiety. I legally smoke cannabis to help with my anxiety. When I was a junior in high school my anxiety was at an all-time high and kept me from going to prom, hanging out with friends, going to events, and also kept me from getting my license. I tried everything to stop my anxiety including anxiety medication, therapy, and even meditation and that was until I started using cannabis. It only took a few times but once I started, my anxiety vanished in days and I was actually able to be a human being and do things.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with cannabis sample testing, it’s not as fun as it may sound.

As the projected date for cannabis legalization looms in my home country of Canada, various businesses are hyping the plant up in preparation. There is a lot of focus on pot in terms of its potential and proven medical benefits as well as touting it as a relatively harmless recreational substance often compared favorably to alcohol as a less harmful drug.

There are so many ways to get stoned in this day and age, from blunts and bongs to rigs and pens. With so many options, sometimes it's hard to choose. Myself, I am a joint/blunt guy; personally I think there is nothing better than sitting down and taking the time to snip up the weed and roll that perfect joint.

If there's one thing I'm seriously passionate about, it's teaching others to invest in the stock market. Investing is the easiest way to make your money work for you and see returns in both the long and short run. Part of the fun of investing in the stock market is that you get to discover cool companies that you can help out.

These are the top ten cannabis TED Talks that will provide a different approach to the drug as well as new insights towards the use of cannabis in all walks of life.

Who was I to decide the fate of a man? How can I be judge, jury, and executioner of someone I have never saw before in my life? What qualifies me for this job? I sit and listen to the differing stories from each person on the stand. I sit in a room with 11 other people who want to believe either he’s guilty or he’s innocent. We only know what we’ve been told. One vote the wrong way could send an innocent man to prison, or set a criminal free. How do we choose? Sure there is evidence on both sides, but which is more compelling? What if we are wrong? What if we are right? What if we believe that since no property or person was injured or damaged, no crime has been committed? We are just 12 people trying to decide who is wrong, and who is right.

As Canadians and the rest of the world await this coming summer when Canada will become the 1st G20 Country to legalize cannabis for recreational use, there are some things the “herbal tourist” should know before booking their weed trip to the Great Green North!

Kindness. My lasting impression of Juneau Alaska and the cannabis culture there was kindness. I arrived January 23rd for the three-day Marijuana Control Board meeting where my clients, Northern Dreams, LLC had an application for approval on the meeting agenda for a Limited Cultivation Facility.
