Is marijuana legalization about to go federal? Congressional leaders took the massive and potentially historic first step on Friday, when they introduced the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement Act of 2021, or “The MORE Act of 2021”. The stated purpose of the MORE Act of 2021: “To decriminalize and deschedule cannabis, to provide f

Lawmakers in Uruguay made history by passing an adult-use legalization measure that was signed into law in late 2013.

Rehydrating your weed is probably not something you want to be doing often. This is why prevention is always key. One of the saddest things to happen to anyone is to roll a joint only to find out that their stash has gone dry. There are two main reasons why weed gets dry: either it’s over-dried after harvest, or it hasn’t been stored correctly. If
The fate of legalization will largely hinge on the ruling Socialists. The government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has demonstrated a lack of enthusiasm for even medical cannabis legalization. On May 13, the health committee of Spain’s Congress of Deputies approved a proposal to create a subcommittee that will consider other countries’ expe

The year of the COVID-19 pandemic also appears to have been a year that more Americans got high. At least that’s where new research points.

This week, Republican Governor Chris Sununu signed HB 89, which will go into effect July 21.

The process to make canna-butter and canna-oil are the same, but I prefer to make my extractions using whole buds, not leaves or stems because the better and stronger the cannabis you use, the better the final product will be. It is best to make a strong extraction and dilute it to personal tastes with plain butter or oil when you prepare a meal. Y
