The examination of marijuana usage in the context of blood donation is critical for preserving the quality of given blood while adhering to donor eligibility guidelines. Although consuming cannabis does not automatically preclude someone from giving blood, following standards assures the safety and efficacy of the process.

If MMJ wins the lawsuit, there is a route that could remove marijuana from the CSA and give medical cannabis a legal substance in America.  While rescheduling is better than nothing, the true goal of the industry should be to remove all criminal stigma around the plant and push for a full descheduling.  That would also create an efficient marketplace for the plant, allowing for interstate commerece, removal of the 280E tax code around the plant, and easier access for patients in all states.

Outdoor cannabis cultivation in a garden or backyard presents a cost-effective, enjoyable, and rewarding endeavor. By leveraging natural sunlight, understanding soil composition, employing natural pest management, and mastering cannabis pruning, growers can achieve optimal yields and high-quality harvests.

So, while the 420 of today may look different from the 420 of our grandparents' generation, the heart and soul of the movement remain intact.

The study finds that therapeutic doses of psilocybin generally result in tolerable acute adverse effects that typically subside within 24 to 48 hours. However, less common adverse effects like paranoia and prolonged visual perceptual effects merit attention.

A recent Gallup poll has called into question the very foundation upon which the edifice of prohibition is built. The survey found that rates of marijuana use are nearly identical in states that have legalized the substance compared to those that continue to maintain its prohibition. This startling revelation suggests that criminalization has little impact on actually curbing consumption, challenging the long-held belief that the threat of punishment is an effective deterrent.

Triploid cannabis plants are merely created through an extra pair of chromosomes, which then give you a sterile, seedless plant. It can be induced by using a special chemical, and treating cannabis plants so that they grow as triploids on purpose. In the wild, marijuana grows as a diploid plant, just like most fruits and vegetables.

According to Cache Valley Daily, around 60% of Utah's medicinal cannabis users obtain their cannabis from sources other than the state's authorized market. The study, done by Cannabis Public Policy Consulting (CPPC) on behalf of the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF), sheds light on accessibility issues in the state's medicinal cannabis program.

A 2020 analysis published in Science magazine revealed a striking disparity in cannabis research funding. Of the $1.56 billion directed to the topic between 2000 and 2018 in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, roughly half was spent on investigating the potential harms and adverse effects of recreational cannabis use. The U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the largest funder, allocated more money to studying cannabis misuse and its negative consequences than to exploring the therapeutic potential of cannabis and its derived compounds.
