Cannabis Links:
A study of over 8000 patients showed that medicinal cannabis reduced opioid dosages by 47-51%. A friendly reminder that cannabis is classified as a schedule 1 drug with no medicinal value.
And here is another study showing that cannabis is NOT a gateway drug:
Missouri started legal adult use cannabis sales a few days ahead of schedule.
Is Kentucky the first state to actively encourage its citizens to engage in interstate commerce? It’s kind of wild that the Governor is actively encouraging his citizens to buy cannabis in other states.
Interstate commerce is already happening, it’s just all “illegal.” For eight years smugglers used FedEx and UPS to ship cannabis from California to NY.
Growing cannabis at scale is hard: “While Flow Cannabis officials such as Albert and investor documents said the company’s attempt to grow its own marijuana at a 12-acre farm in Lake County exceeded expectations, internal emails and former employees say it was unsuccessful, with most of the crop harvested in late fall 2021 contaminated with mold.”
I expect more and more interviews about how the Biden Administration is moving forward with their scheduling review of cannabis: “We heard Secretary Becerra talk a little bit about this, saying that it’s very important to make sure that we’re using all relevant real world data we can, given how rapidly evolving this space is. And so, we’re certainly engaged in that and that’s a priority.”
Comedy:
This Smartless podcast with Dana Carvey really made me laugh. Highly recommend.
