Are you allowed to travel with medical cannabis? Can you cross state lines with medical cannabis? Can you bring cannabis on a plane or train? What about a bus? While in another state, what are the rules to purchase it legally? These are just a few of the many questions that medical cannabis patients may have while travelling for the holidays.
Americans have purchased a lots of legal cannabis over the last year or so. To be precise, $18 billion worth in 2020. When you think about it, if you’re stuck in your house for months on end during a global pandemic that has turned your desk job into a couch job, your TV into a make-shift movie theater, and that spare bedroom into a home gym, it only makes sense to enjoy a little bit of cannabis.
“Should President Biden wish to acknowledge the political, economic, and moral realities surrounding cannabis policy, and fulfill the promises he made on the campaign trail, this report lays out a clear roadmap for how to do so.”. The post New Congressional Report Provides Pathway for How the Biden Administration Can Deschedule Marijuana and Issue Blanket Pardons to Past Offenders appeared first on NORML.

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.
For many years, people thought of cannabis as a gateway drug. However, as many states start seeing a reduction in opioid overdose deaths once medical or recreational cannabis is legalized, this view is being challenged. Science has started to see cannabis as an exit drug instead, and some have started to integrate cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) into their drug treatment programs.
Employers will still be allowed to take action against an employee who is impaired on-the-job, but only if an employee "manifests specific articulable symptoms of impairment.". The post New York: Employers Are Prohibited from Testing Most Employees for Cannabis appeared first on NORML.

This article is for medical marijuana patients and physicians alike. We believe knowledge is power and Leafwell seeks to educate not only patients but medical professionals as well. As common wisdom knows, marijuana is reputed to be the world’s safest drug, whether those proactive cannabinoids are purchased and ingested through the pharmaceutical or artisanal marketplaces.
While mainstream culture in the U.S. has come to accept cannabis as not the dangerous and addictive substance of after school special legend, general public knowledge about the plant remains fairly low. Cannabis is a complex plant, and decades of research have been able to pull back the curtains on fascinating mysteries behind its inner workings. Here, we wanted to shed light on some things about cannabis that even an educated patient might not know!
Since 2010, scientists have published an estimated 27,000 peer-reviewed papers specific to cannabis, with the annual number of total papers increasing every year. NORML's Deputy Director Paul Armentano said, "It is time for politicians and others to stop assessing cannabis through the lens of 'what we don't know' and instead start engaging in evidence-based discussions about marijuana and marijuana reform policies that are indicative of all that we do know.".
It’s probably fair to say that 2020 was a year to forget for many, for a massive variety of reasons. There was a whole bunch of stuff to be stressed and anxious about last year, from the devastating social and economic impacts of COVID-19, to the uber-stressful American presidential election, to the months-long lockdowns that isolated us to our homes and away from our loved one.
One of the major objections to the medicinal use of marijuana is the use of smoking as a delivery system. Based on the fact that smoking tobacco causes deterioration of lung function, these detractors intone that smoking marijuana is just as harmful. So let’s examine the truth about the effects of smoking marijuana and lung health. Testing that hypothesis is really quite simple—even you can do it.
A deluge of lab-synthesized CBD isolates, favored by regulators, will devastate hemp CBD commerce by undercutting the need for plant-derived, single-molecule cannabinoids. But it could also create new opportunities for artisanal cannabis product-makers, who craft full-spectrum THC / CBD mixtures with unique qualities that can never be fully replicated in a lab.
Excess waste created by the cannabis industry is rooted in the legacy of criminalization that now manifests as unnecessary overregulation. Sustainable, hemp-based packaging solutions could help to mitigate this problem.
Despite the fact that 36 states have reformed their laws to provide for safe and legal access to cannabis for qualifying patients, veterans living across these states still face a confusing system of federal and state laws regarding physician engagement and affordable access. For example, veterans who rely on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as their primary healthcare provider are unable to receive medical cannabis recommendations from their doctors even if they live in a state with a me
Gut dysbiosis leads to decreased endocannabinoid signaling and reduced neurogenesis in the hippocampus. But dietary or probiotic interventions can mitigate stress-induced depressive syndromes.
An imbalance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids adversely impacts the endocannabinoid system and impairs the functioning of everything from our brain to our gut.
