Cannabis is More than Just THC
The entourage effect is the theory that all compounds in the cannabis plant work synergistically and are more effective than utilizing a single compound. In other words, full-spectrum products are more effective than THC or CBD alone. This is in direct opposition to how many people currently view cannabis potency. Many people have the idea that high THC products mean they are the strongest, but this is not always the case. Products with a variety of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, flavorants, and other cannabis compounds are often the most effective.

Medical Cannabis and the DUI Trap
On April 17, 2016, Governor Tom Wolf signed SB-3, the Medical Marijuana Act, into law. It went into effect a month later, although dispensary sales would not begin until 2018. The law legalized the use of medical cannabis for registered patients with one of seventeen qualifying conditions. While this bill paved the way to assist patients across the state, it also left law enforcement free to continue arresting and criminalizing cannabis users, as if nothing had changed.

Bourbon County Brand Stout
Today, I have a treat for you all. This is a limited release stout that Goose Island releases every year on Black Friday. I was fortunate enough to live near a B & B that was releasing this rare brew. If this tells you something about the demand for this beer, the line was out the door, and this was not a small B & B. This place is the size of a warehouse and craft beer lovers were lined up out the door to buy this beer at $12.99 per bottle. I don't know about you, but it isn't every day that I buy a bottle of beer at that price. After all, I'm a freelance writer and not writing for the Times, so I'm not exactly raking it in. That being said, considering what little money I have, it was still worth the buy. This year, Goose Island released seven variants of their bourbon county stout and I was able to purchase four of those variants. Now, time to get down to the beer.
