An unknown number of recovered COVID-19 patients are walking through a fog, uncertain when it will end and what can be done to help. And to make things worse, most of these people were already told that they were “healed.”. The condition, known as “long COVID” — with patients often referred to as “COVID long haulers” — is typified by a series of symptoms that linger long after someone has recovered from COVID-19, even months after they no longer test positive for the novel coronavirus.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

What if there was a type of weed that was fully legal, safe to use, you could buy at the corner store, and it wouldn’t even show up in a drug test? Sound too good to be true? It is, unfortunately. Delta-8-THC, a close relative of the more famous delta-9-THC, acts in many of the same ways producing a similar high and even some of the same therapeutic effects.

This line from “Jurassic Park” may come to mind when you hear the words “snortable cannabis,” but it’s perhaps not quite the horror show you may think. It was billed as a “unique cannabis concentrate,” and that may be putting it lightly.

As of April 2021, over 40% of Americans live in one of the 15 states where adults can legally buy cannabis for recreational use. Whether you live in a state where dispensaries are already open or whether you’re patiently waiting to buy your first legal eighth, it may still be worth considering a medical marijuana card. Even in fully legal states that are saturated with adult use dispensaries, it can still pay to get a medical cannabis card — although not for everyone.
