CBD

We have done several posts regarding cooking with cannabis, and here is another one about how to make cannabis maple candy 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.

With an average listed price of $35, the ever-popular Sativa strain Blue Dream maintained its spot atop the list of April’s most popular marijuana strains. In fact, last month’s consumer preferences and strain availability appear to be holding relatively steady with the top six places unchanged between March and April.
As an experienced floral designer — you’ve probably seen her work behind a pregnant Beyonce — and budtender at The High Church, Sarah Lineberger sees a lot of popular flower. We asked Sarah how North America’s list compares with what she’s seeing in Rainbow, California.

Known as the Therapeutic Hemp Medical Access Act, a bipartisan bill introduced this week seeks to ensure unrestricted access to specific strains high in CBD for individuals battling intractable epilepsy.

As more states legalize cannabis, we see various ways that non-legalized states are building companies alongside the cannabis movement and industry.  Well, Idaho is no exception as there is news from Boise about a shop called Welcomed Science CBD.CBD, or Cannabidiol, is one of the most prevalent chemical compounds in the cannabis plant. Unlike the more famous molecule, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is completely nonpsychoactive.This shop provides products that are dietary supplements designed to help maintain an effective, delicious, and affordable daily CBD regiment.

The New York State Assembly voted 131-8 in favor of a bill that would add post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to the state’s list of qualifying medical marijuana conditions.
Bill A 7006 now heads for a Senate vote before hopefully heading to the Governor’s desk to become a law. If you live in New York, MPP and Marijuana.com urge you to contact your Senators and tell them why New Yorkers with PTSD need access to medical cannabis.

After their triumphs in the US and Canada

The Weed Blog is excited to announce that one of Oregon’s premier cannabis farms, Yerba Buena, has created and released their highest testing CBD strain, “Corazon” (Spanish for “Heart”).

How Medical Marijuana Can Benefit FamiliesWhat if your little girl was suffering from nearly 200 seizures daily, and modern prescriptions weren’t doing much of anything to curb the symptoms or reduce the seizures?

In 2008 Paula Medina was suffering from anxiety, nerve pain, severe migraines, dizziness, numbness, difficulty swallowing, blurry vision, and tingling throughout her body. She went to two different physicians during the course of 2008 and 2009 for treatment. Both ordered MRIs and upon receiving the results each told her “it was all in her head,” recollects Medina, who is 48.
Because her symptoms continued to persist she went to a third doctor in 2011 who ordered another MRI.
