Do we need five tips for using 4/20 as a wedge issue? What does that even mean? It may seem strange in 2023, but depending on where you live, there are plenty of alcohol drinkers, cigarette smokers, pill-poppers, and caffeine addicts who still think “marihuana is bad, mmkay?” Of course, reefer madness exists on a spectrum. You might have anti-cannabis rednecks on one end, but on the other, you’ve got a pharma-pill-popping boomer who’s too afraid to try CBD.

On this hallowed 4/20, while consumers and businesses celebrate cannabis near and far (which is great!), it’s important to be mindful that the cannabis industry is getting financially pummeled nationwide. For the cannabis companies able to survive this rocky time, cannabis collections are becoming an increasing headache as other cannabis businesses fold and/or just ignore payment obligations.

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.

New Hampshire is halfway to legal adult use cannabis, following the approval of House Bill 639 on April 6 by a wide margin of 272-109. While the Granite State decriminalized the possession of cannabis in 2017, it is still a fineable offense, and in any case only applies where the amount of cannabis does not exceed 3/4 oz. The stakes are therefore high as attention turns to whether the state Senate votes in favor of the proposed legislation.

While some base their preferences on factors such as cannabinoid percentages, genetic lineages, or terpene content, others prioritize convenience. This convenience-driven consumer is the force behind the popularity of vape carts and disposable vape pens.
