Cannabis Industry Pros Flock to Much-Anticipated MJBizCon in Las Vegas
It’s been two weeks since cannabis professionals from around the world convened at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the 10th annual MJBizCon, one of the industry’s largest events for making connections, building brand awareness and closing deals. The whirlwind 3-day event undoubtedly takes some time to recover from. With approximately 27,000 people in attendance, and over 250,000 square feet of exhibit space, there was a lot of ground to cover (an average of 4.5 miles/day, according to my iPhone). And while consuming cannabis products inside the convention center is prohibited, it was easy to catch a buzz off all…

Voters Weigh In on a Variety of Marijuana Ballot Questions – Norml
Voters yesterday decided on a number of state and local ballot initiatives specific to marijuana policies. On the nation’s only statewide marijuana-centric ballot proposal, Colorado voters rejected Prop. 119, which sought to increase state sales taxes on retail cannabis sales. NORML’s Colorado state affiliate had campaigned against the proposition, opining that excessive taxation on regulated marijuana products would drive consumers back to the illicit market. In Denver, city voters similarly rejected a separate measure (Ordinance 300) that sought to impose additional municipal taxes on marijuana sales. Local voters also decided on a variety of municipal ballot measures. In Philadelphia, the…

Arguably, the most notorious of these “cultivation hacks” is the use of PGRs. Short for “plant growth regulators,” PGRs are artificial hormones that can alter a plant’s development.

As demand for high-THC cannabis continues to climb, PGRs will become an…

In between these episodes, patients are typically symptom free. “Symptoms are primarily nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting,” Dr. Masoud said. “The main treatment…

Bobby Valentine, the former manager of the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox, lost his bid to become mayor of Stamford, Connecticut—and sniped about “lousy” media coverage and people voting more than once. Valentine, famous for getting fired a lot and for once returning to the dugout in disguise after getting tossed out of a game, was defeated by Democrat Caroline Simmons. Before he conceded, he told supporters that he’d been told about people who voted by absentee ballot and then went to the polls in person. When he finally threw in the towel, he was less than…
