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.

Utah was the 33rd state to legalize medical marijuana. That legislation was passed in 2018, but it wasn’t until the first week of March this year that Utah’s medical marijuana patients have had legal access to medical cannabis.

CBD is a negative allosteric modulator. What does that mean? A negative allosteric modulator changes the shape of the receptor and, as a result, reduces the binding ability of components that typically bind to the receptor. In the case of cannabinoids, CBD alters the shape of CB1 receptors, and THC along with endogenous cannabinoids do not bind to the CB1 receptor to the same degree as they do when CBD is not present.

Flower is the difference between Louisiana and 31 of the 32 other states that have a functioning medical Cannabis program in place. It is the linchpin in any successful program because it is a far cheaper form of the medicine and it comprises over 50%, on average, of sales in all other healthy medical Cannabis states. As you know, we have only tinctures in Louisiana – no flower.

According to a new study published in the journal Nature: Human Behavior, police are less likely to conduct searches for illicit contraband during a traffic stop following the enactment of adult-use marijuana legalization, but people of color are still targeted at unfair rates. For the study, first reported on by NORML, researchers from Stanford University and New York University assessed the effects of statewide legalization laws in Colorado and Washington on traffic stop outcomes.

Under a new law that took effect earlier this week, New York City has banned many employers from making job applicants get tested for marijuana use. As reported on by the Associated Press, the new law passed last year “as the nation’s biggest city took a novel step in the evolving regulation of workplace policies” regarding cannabis. A few months later, Nevada passed a similar law that went into effect on January 1.

This is important for the safety of cannabis workers (to reduce the risk of robberies), for the efficiency of businesses (thus helping reduce prices) , and now for public health (to reduce the reliance on cash, which could have the virus on it).
