Speaker: Jonathan Bench, International Cannabis and Securities Business Attorney at Harris Bricken

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.

What is CBG?

The Cannigma

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.

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? And while it can put a certain misty, ethereal haze on the here-and-now, does that make it a hallucinogen?

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.
