As 2022 draws to a close, we are looking ahead to try and anticipate what 2023 has in store for the cannabis industry. Missouri & Maryland. Voters in five states were asked to consider legalizing adult-use cannabis and two states, Missouri and Maryland, voted to approve implementing adult-use cannabis programs. These two states are home to approximately 12.3 million people between them, dramatically expanding the population of people with access to legal cannabis.

I have not had great experiences with edibles in the past and worry she might not either. What are your thoughts? The short answer is, yes, I think edibles are safe and therapeutic for seniors, IF they are in the proper dosage.

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.

A few studies in closely-related hops ( humulus lupulus) suggest that HpLVd may exert its pathology through RNA interference, which occurs when short viroid sequences interfere with the expression of genes with which they have sequ
