Maine’s Most Fruitful and Profitable Crop is Medical Cannabis

Veriheal

When it comes to cannabis, Maine is one of the more progressive states in the country. In 1976, Maine became only the third state to decriminalize possession of small amounts of cannabis. This was an important step, as it always is because it disrupted the terrible impact of the War on Drugs. Decriminalization meant that even though cannabis hadn’t been legalized in Maine, possession of a small amount of the substance would be handled with a fine rather than an arrest that could ultimately prove

Is Marijuana a Depressant, Stimulant, or Hallucinogen?

The Cannigma

The annals of marijuana history are surely filled with no shortage of winding, late-night conversations between cannabis consumers about how exactly to classify the plant. It calms the nerves, but is it a depressant? It sparks creativity and gets the mind racing, but is it a stimulant?

How to Tell the Difference Between Male and Female Cannabis Plants

The Cannigma

The cannabis plant isn’t unisex. Throughout most of its history, cannabis naturally evolved via sexual reproduction. It’s only in recent years that “sterile” techniques like cloning and tissue propagation have become industry standards. The reasons mainstream cultivators don’t pollinate cannabis are simple: males don’t produce big buds, and pollinated female plants focus their energy on producing seeds instead of quality buds.
