It is common knowledge that the marijuana we have today is much more potent than what stereotypical hippies used back in the 60s and 70s. In fact, according to National Public Radio , cannabis potency has continued to steadily increase over the years.

Bloomberg reports… Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin advised against leveraging the 2017 tax law’s opportunity zone tax incentives to fund a marijuana business, even those that are legal at the state level. Mnuchin told a Senate appropriations panel that such investments don’t line up with the intent of the capital gains tax breaks, which are for investors who fund development in designated census tracts, most of which are low-income.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

Medical marijuana and PTSD already have a positive relationship. Many of the symptoms, such as depression, anxiety and insomnia, are all treatable with a proper cannabis regimen.
