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.

Have you ever wondered why different strains of cannabis have such different aromas? Many popular strains can be characterized by their smell. You might have noticed how some strains have an earthy note. Others smell a little cheesy and some more spicy or floral. These aromas are caused by naturally occurring chemical compounds called terpenes, which are found in most plants and are responsible for giving them their odor.

CBG (cannabigerol) is by far one of the most important cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. It is often called “the mother of all cannabinoids,” and it holds potential as a treatment for conditions such as diabetes, ALS, and Huntington’s disease, although human studies are seriously lacking. In addition to its potential medical applications, much like CBD, CBG is not considered intoxicating and will not get you high.

For many years, people thought of cannabis as a gateway drug. However, as many states start seeing a reduction in opioid overdose deaths once medical or recreational cannabis is legalized, this view is being challenged. Science has started to see cannabis as an exit drug instead, and some have started to integrate cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) into their drug treatment programs.
