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.

Marijuana alarmists were dealt a crushing blow thanks to a recent study on teen cannabis use following legalization, NBC News reports. Legalization opponents have always claimed that lifting prohibition will increase, not decrease, cannabis use in under-aged individuals. This is not the first time the phenomenon was studied. In fact, the recent research comes on the heels of a 2014 study on high school students’ marijuana use in Washington State before and after legalization.

Cannabidiol (CBD), like THC, can be heated and inhaled using a vaporizer. CBD is usually taken orally as a cannabis-based concentrate or extract. However, compared to smoking or vaporizing, ingesting cannabinoids orally poses a number of drawbacks, including inconsistent absorption and a delayed effect. Vaporizing is considered a healthier alternative to smoking, and many cannabis users are now starting to switch.

Although there are no long-term studies on how it affects health, experts have argued that CBD can have anxiolytic, neuroprotective, anti-psychotic, antiinflammatory, anti-spasmodic e

Hawaii on Tuesday decriminalized marijuana, making it the 26th state to decriminalize or legalize the drug. The new law removes the possibility of jail time as a penalty for up to three grams of marijuana, but maintains a $130 fine. Hawaii’s Democrat-controlled legislature approved the bill and sent it to Democratic Gov. David Ige in May. Ige didn’t sign it, but he also didn’t veto it, effectively letting it become law on Tuesday.
