Opinion: It’s high time to grow your own cannabis – The CT Mirror
Last July, Connecticut turned over a new leaf when it legalized cannabis for adult recreational use. Legal to possess and smoke, but not quite yet to grow. The right to cultivate cannabis plants was granted only to licensed medical marijuana (MMJ) patients, and was delayed until October. The rest of the state’s residents will have to wait until 2023. Mark Mathew Braunstein Why the wait? And has anyone waited? Not I, nor have the other impatient MMJ patients who have confided to me that they had already explored their new hobby. I sowed my first two seeds symbolically on Independence…

Will Philip Morris fulfill pledge to be ‘majority smoke-free’ in Connecticut? – The Advocate
STAMFORD — The upcoming arrival of Philip Morris International has revealed a conflict Gov. Ned Lamont and other officials have with the tobacco giant. Lamont and legislators who represent Stamford at the state Capitol and in Congress say they are non-smokers, but they are keen to tout the economic benefits of another Fortune 500 company moving to Connecticut — despite their distaste for cigarettes and recognition that tobacco use has caused thousands of deaths in the state each year. The governor and other supporters of PMI’s relocation argue that the new headquarters at 677 Washington Blvd. — the former home…

John Breunig (opinion): Can CT see itself clearly through the Philip Morris smokescreen? – CT Post
It has a … ring to it, doesn’t it? If we’re able to breathe easier next November and can welcome the parade back to downtown Stamford, it makes sense that someone will try to entice the tobacco company to become the title sponsor. Handlers of a Marlboro Man balloon could fling candy knockoffs of products to the kiddies. I don’t mean to sound cynical (OK, yes I do), but I can’t conjure the same enthusiasm as Gov. Ned Lamont, Mayor-elect Caroline Simmons & Co. in welcoming Philip Morris to the home of what was once the world’s largest trading floor….

A farm winery in Colchester thrived during the coronavirus pandemic. But COVID-19 took its toll — and the owner is selling. Asking price: $3.2 million – Hartford Courant
“We’ve done as much as we can, and it’s time for the next generation, new blood,” Melillo, 71, said, standing next to Priam and pointing across a field. “As an example, there are 12 acres over there, a beautiful, flat field. It’s growing hay and weeds. It could grow more vines. It could grow marijuana.”

The first time I smoked cannabis, I was at a party and someone passed it to me. My boyfriend at the time leaned over and whispered “The rule is puff, puff, pass, you take two puffs and then you pass it.” I appreciated knowing the rules of etiquette, and appreciated the generous sharing even more. I never thought puff, puff, pass etiquette would become so complicated. But years later, as a long time medical cannabis patient, my views on the culture of Puff, Puff, Pass have become much more nuanced. To be fair the term puff, puff, pass is not…

The Delta-8 THC Saga Continues in Texas: Week in Review – Cannabis Business Times
A Republican-sponsored medical cannabis expansion bill in Ohio intends to give licensed physicians the power to determine qualifying conditions on a case-by-case basis. Huffman State Sen. Steve Huffman, who represents a Dayton-area district in Southwest Ohio, introduced Senate Bill 261 Nov. 9. While the 66-page legislation would expand the list of qualifying conditions for medical cannabis to include autism spectrum disorder, arthritis, migraines and terminal illness, it ultimately would include “any other medical condition” determined by a licensed physician. Since the inception of Ohio’s medical cannabis program in 2016, and its implementation in 2019, Huffman has worked alongside medical providers,…
