This year, it’s legal for the first time in the event’s 30-year history, and potentially big business. The four-day event began Thursday in Grant Park, and nearby Chicago cannabis dispensaries are stocking up and staffing up for what they hope

When the first Missouri dispensaries opened their doors in 2020, getting a Missouri marijuana card didn’t really do much for qualifying patients.

Imagine it’s 2025… Cannabis is the nation’s cash crop, and your friend is telling you about a new “super strain” at the local dispensary.

Gene editing will improve the efficie

Climate change got personal for my family in 2013, when a refugee bear fleeing a nearby wildfire scaled my goat-corral fence and killed most of the herd in front of our eyes. Milk providers, yoga partners and friends Natalie Merchant, Bette Midler and Stevie Nicks were lost that day (we name our goats after singers we like). Baby Taylor Swift survi

An organization hoping to regulate marijuana in Ohio has changed routes on legalization.  The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol announced Tuesday it will now try passing a state law instead of through a constitutional amendment, which was the original plan, as outlined in March 2020. “We are proposing to regulate marijuana for adult use,

Darren McCarty said he wouldn't be alive today if he never found marijuana. The former NHL star and four-time Stanley Cup champion balanced a 16-year hockey career with binge drinking and alcoholism, McCarty told Insider in an interview.
