Let’s be honest, medical cannabis is not the most pressing issue in Washington these days. I have experienced firsthand from walking the halls of Congress, that while a majority of members are sympathetic to the needs of patients, most do not understand the issue of medical cannabis much less that there is a way forward.

"Historically, when given the choice, voters have consistently chosen to reject cannabis criminalization and to embrace legalization and regulation. Ohioans have seen similar legalization laws adopted in neighboring states and they know that regulating the cannabis market is preferable to the failed policy of prohibition."

While trying to keep track of a constantly expanding list of strains, I come across a lot of cake, mac, cookie, and glues on Illinois dispensary menus, so I’m interested when I find a new strain name. NuEra has recently dropped Oh Snap! as diamonds and sauce, and since it was my first time encountering the hybrid strain, I picked up a sample at NuEra Champaign to review.

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.

I must have heard a millions times some form of the phrase, “He’s just an old stoner.” Those outside the cannabis community have used the phrase to belittle. Those in the community have used the phrase to endear. Well, in Illinois, the phrase might fit more than expected. According to a recent report from Headset , a data platform for the cannabis economy, Illinois has a higher representation from Baby Boomer and Gen X generations than other states.

In a recent controversial move, Mastercard issued a directive to United States banks, ordering them to block cannabis purchases on its debit cards. The decision has ignited a firestorm of debate, primarily due to the unique nature of debit cards. For years, most major credit cards have prohibited cannabis purchases with minimal public outcry. This new mandate struck a chord because, unlike credit cards, debit cards are linked directly to an individual’s bank account.
