Edibles

If you’ve been taking trips to Home Depot for those spring cleaning projects, it might be time to start shopping at Lowe’s.

If you’ve ever gotten way too high because the delayed effects of cannabis edibles lead you to four or five magic brownies instead of the one that you needed, you’re not alone. But now, with new advancements thanks to legalization, several canna-businesses are looking to address that issue by creating “rapid delivery” edibles that take effect in only 15-20 minutes, making the experience closer to that of consuming alcohol.

Colorado edibles company 1906 introduced the first line of these “rapid delivery” edibles last year.

It’s that time of year again. That magical season where you dust off your swimsuit, impulsively try to lose enough weight to feel comfortable in it and explore the great outdoors.  Until the sun has you recoiling in red, bubbling defeat, tame the outdoors with a portable vaporizer.

Although the cannabis industry is weathering through some tough times with the current administration in the U.S., the election last November made it clear that this moment and industry is only going one way with the public: forward.  This was pronounced even further by a recent study done by Marijuana Business Daily, where it was discovered that, if the U.S. government legalized marijuana federally, legal marijuana sales could be even bigger than ice cream!As reported by Forbes:Annual ice cream sales are only $5.1 billion. Total recreational cannabis sales in the U.S.

On Tuesday afternoon in Santa Ana, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) held the first in a series of public hearings that aim to collect constructive criticism about newly proposed medical marijuana regulations.
Back in 2015, the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act represented the first attempt to regulate California’s medical marijuana industry since its inception.
