DEA Marijuana Scheduling Lawsuit Will Be Appealed To Supreme Court Following Dismissal
[T]he plaintiffs—a coalition of medical cannabis patients and activists, including Alexis Bortell and former NFL player Marvin Washington—plan to take their case all the way to the Supreme Court.
The suit, which was first filed in 2017, argued that keeping marijuana in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) is unconstitutional because it creates undue burdens that jeopardize patients’ lives by preventing access to what a majority of states now regard as a medicine. They sought a court mandate to enjoin DEA and require the agency to cease enforcement of federal cannabis prohibition.

Few impressed with Biden’s weak new marijuana decriminalization plan
Those who thought former Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden might be forced to evolve on cannabis by the far-left Bernie Sanders coalition: You may now exhale. Uncle Joe ain’t budging.

Looking for rare cannabinoids? Try these products with CBG, CBN, and more
While what we do know about minor cannabinoids is limited, they are full of promise. Studies show minor cannabinoids may exhibit vast therapeutic potential: CBG (cannabigerol), for instance, recently made headlines when researchers demonstrated its potential in killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Why the fuck should we even have international treaties in regards to how the US handles its drug policies!
Fuck the UN!

It’s actually the US that strong-armed the UN into adopting the drug policy that they wanted rolling out internationally. It’s how the US war on drugs became a worldwide brand with other nations forced to become part of the franchise.
So you can’t really complain about the UN wanting to enforce the restrictions the US put in place.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
After sifting through 400 cannabis strains, researchers at the University of Lethbridge are concentrating on about a dozen that show promising results in ensuring less fertile ground for the potentially lethal virus to take root, said biological scientist Dr. Igor Kovalchuk.
Would have been great if they had mentioned which 12 strains they are focusing on but that might have caused people to start hoarding them........

The study actually sounded a bit off. They started out by deciding to investigate CBD products. Why? Well because they were already heavily invested in those. Hmnnn. So much for the scientific method.

COVID-19 fails to stop Michigan pot industry as sales explode during pandemic
...The increase in sales since March 9 may be due in part to pandemic-induced anxiety, but is likely more a result of the natural growth of the industry in Michigan, experts have said.
In about two months, the number of licensed recreational marijuana retailers in Michigan has grown 70% from 61 on March 2 to 104 retailers on May 12.
By contrast, tens of thousands of businesses throughout the state have been forced to shut down or reduce operations because of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-home emergency order restrictions...

You’re high. Here’s how to look and smell like you aren’t
Smoking cannabis is one of the most difficult activities to hide, not only because of the goofiness and the red eyes that most likely ensue, but also because of the smell. One joint can permeate an entire bedroom, bathroom, car or apartment, especially if the weed is particularly strong and there’s a lot of residual produced.

SCIENTISTS PINPOINT THE IDEAL LEGAL AGE FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA
The minimum legal age for smoking weed should be around 19 YEARS OLD, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal BMC Public Health. At that age, negative impacts on long-term health, educational attainment, mental health, and physical health are minimized, the study suggests.

Get in the Game: Weed Strains Named After Athletes
Marijuana growers love naming strains after famous people, and athletes aren't exempt. Some of the plant's breeding hot spots — Denver, Seattle, the Bay Area and Southern California — are full of crazed sports fans, so why not name a potent Kush or uplifting OG after some of our favorite ballers?

I think Kobe would be the safest. He's dead so you don't have privacy issues. I think there is a greater leaning towards rights in a likeness, even if dead, but don't think that is a sure thing for something like a name.
