But here's what keeps me up at night: How much research is enough? We currently have over 28,000 studies on cannabis, spanning decades of scientific inquiry. That's not counting the thousands of years of documented human use, dating back to some of humanity's earliest agricultural endeavors. Cannabis wasn't just any crop – it was one of the first plants our ancestors chose to cultivate. Think about that for a moment.
As someone who's watched the cannabis industry evolve from underground operations to licensed businesses with barcodes and tracking systems, I find this particularly disturbing. We're witnessing the emergence of a sophisticated shell game where illicit products infiltrate legal markets while regulated cannabis mysteriously disappears—all happening right under regulators' noses.
The question about marijuana in the Minecraft movie might seem out of place, given the game’s family-friendly nature. Minecraft has always been marketed as a game suitable for all ages, focusing on creativity, exploration, and survival rather than mature themes. The game’s content is carefully curated to ensure that it remains accessible and enjoyable for children, which is a key factor in its widespread popularity.
One of the most notable developments is the class action lawsuit initiated by investors against WM Technology Inc., commonly known as Weedmaps. This lawsuit raises important questions about corporate governance, transparency, and the responsibilities of publicly traded companies in the rapidly evolving cannabis sector.
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety recently released the results of two separate studies designed to analyze the thoughts and perceptions of marijuana consumers when it comes to driving while stoned, while the second was to help craft a campaign to help prevent these behaviors. According to Dr. David Yang, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety’s president and executive director: “Understanding what motivates cannabis consumers to drive under the influence can be helpful in developing effective safety strategies.”
They sit in circles, eyes gleaming with hope as they declare, "If I could only quit, then everything would be better..." But they're missing something crucial—their addiction isn't the source of their discontent; it's merely a symptom of something deeper.
In a move that surprised absolutely no one who's been paying attention, the White House recently announced it has "no action planned" on marijuana reform. Yes, the same marijuana reform that President Trump enthusiastically backed on the campaign trail just weeks before Election Day.
Cannabis terpenes are the compounds responsible for the aromatic profile of each strain; they are located in the plant trichomes. Not only do they contribute to each strain’s unique flavor and odor, but they also have valuable therapeutic and medicinal benefits. There are around 150 kinds of terpenes known today, though in the entire plant world, there are known to be some 20,000 terpenes.
Authoritarians cannot let go of the value that keeping the most widely used illicit substance in the world illegal provides them. This explains why the US hasn't federally legalized cannabis despite nearly 80% of Americans supporting some form of legalization. It's not because they don't have enough research or that they're genuinely concerned about public health—it's because prohibition gives them all the privileges of violating constitutional rights while siphoning money into their coffers.
One of the men was aged 59 years old; he bought bat poop online to use as fertilizer for his plants. Meanwhile, the other was a 64-year-old male who found guano in his attic, then decided to use it to fertilize his cannabis plants. They both developed similar symptoms, including chronic coughs, fever, severe weight loss, and respiratory failure. The case was also discussed in the Open Forum Infectious Diseases medical journal.
