The internationally recognized cannabinoid specialist and Chairman of the International Association for Cannabinoid Medicines (IACM) Dr. Franjo Grotenhermen has been on a hunger strike since May 12th.
Grotenhermen’s main motive for the non-violent protest is the price of cannabis medicine which has increased from 15 to 22.10 Euro/gram since the new law was implemented. Observers fear an additional price hike up to 40 Euro/gram.

If it seems like you need to toke a little extra when you need it most — yes, during those very special, very crampy days of your period — you're not making it up. Many people find that weed is great at easing the fatigue, mood fluctuations, and pain that may come with PMS and your period.

Despite having legalized medical marijuana twenty years ago, California has left its MMJ industry largely unregulated. That is all set to change, as the California Bureau of Marijuana Control has released draft versions of regulations that will tightly regulate the industry starting next year.

The 46-page draft regulations mandate that all medical cannabis sold in the state must be independently lab tested starting next year.

Strain Overview
The Scoop: Often confused with the strain made famous by the Seth Rogen inspired movie (Pineapple Express), Pineapple is a masterfully balanced hybrid with lineage tracing back to Ed Rosenthal. An old school sleeper strain, Pineapple was originally cultivated by utilizing a select phenotype of Ed’s Super Bud.

The Result: Acutely cerebral, Pineapple’s high magically alleviates symptoms of apprehension, nausea, and unrelenting joint discomfort.

We have done several posts regarding cooking with cannabis, and here is another one about how to make a cannabis maple candy recipe from a guest author. She has explained her purpose and reason for sharing this recipe quite articulately:I believe we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how many ways we can use the cannabis plant.  One of the best ways for patients who have little to no appetite is in the form of candies and toffees.
