Smoking CBD Hemp Flower over CBD Oil
CBD oil has been the latest craze, as it gives all the health effects of cannabis while bypassing the undesired effects of THC. On the other hand, smoking high-CBD content hemp flower, commonly referred to as CBD flower, might be a much more efficient means of taking this cannabinoid.

Cannabis Industry and Ancillary Economic Benefits in US
When we talk about the fastest growing cannabis industry in the US, it is easier to consider the numbers regarding the cultivation and production of the plants. It can be easily estimated tones of cannabis produced along with its quality. Also, the dispensaries where they can be sold. However, it is more enticing to consider the above factors when we got to know that the legal sales of cannabis in the US have crossed over $10 billion in 2018 alone.

Counterfeit Caution
People are being diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) from using bootleg THC cartridges containing hydrogen cyanide, and I can’t help but wonder how we got to this point. The tests on legal vaping carts did not contain hydrogen cyanide, so we can’t blame this on vape nation. However, the tainted THC carts show us symptoms of a larger problem in America. Cannabis is considered a schedule one narcotic federally in our country. This means that we do not recognize it as having any healthcare applications and believe that it is highly addictive. Another Schedule I narcotic is PCP. Even methamphetamine is considered a Schedule II narcotic, which is legal to prescribe in the US under the name Desoxyn. As research has shown us, cannabis has a myriad of health benefits from anti-inflammatory and pain relief to seizure and PTSD, and the scheduling of medications in the US is extremely political. Because of the extreme anti-marijuana propaganda from the 1930s, cannabis was thrown into Schedule I, and being caught selling or using it can send you to jail and cause hefty fines.

Freedom from PTSD
I've never had PTSD, but I've been with many a friend and family member who has, and still is, dealing with it. It can be crippling not only to the individual who has it, but also to the family and friends of that person as well. It's not something to take lightly, ever.

Cannabis, My Family, and I
I was born and raised in Texas, and I am a mother, wife, homeschooler, photographer, waitress, and cannabis advocate. I wasn't raised in the cannabis community, actually the opposite. I grew up in the 90s and I was taught as a child that drugs were bad, and pot wasn't just any drug. It was a gateway drug. I was taught that if I tried pot, it would lead me to using all of the other drugs like crystal meth, etc. The schools, the media, even my family taught me that.

Make Your Fortune with Canada's Legalization of Marijuana
Investors have never been faced with a market which is so wide open while the market is in its infancy. We know the market in Canada and the United States will multiply by at least five times, and perhaps by 10 times or more. That is going to create many stock market successes. Picking who will finish first in this very quickly maturing group… that’s extraordinarily difficult. The market has already recognized one group of winners. We’re talking about the biggest Canadian producers… those who “planted their flag” not only in the Canadian market, but in the developing European medical Cannabis market. I am convinced that those companies able to establish reputable, reliable, recognizable brands will be the second, and bigger, set of winners—and most investors have not yet come to this realization. That creates an opportunity to make colossally sized gains from a new set of stocks. Brands will be so important because they’ve always been important to consumers. When a consumer goes to buy orange juice, he or she might have an idea of the varietal in mind… the part of the world he or she is looking to have juice from… but most likely something that is a known brand. Maybe it’ll be low to medium priced juice. And as our consumer moves up the value chain, brands become even more important. That brand is what tells consumers what to expect from the product. At the very high end, the way people plan their Investor’s Report to Cannabis is no different. People will want different types, or at least different effects. But they will come to depend on brands to tell them what to expect, rather than having to become a Cannabis guru. The companies that realize the importance of branding and have chosen to build their brand where consumers are choosiest of all: Medical Cannabis. Consumers who currently have to ask their doctors or quiz overworked retail associates at a dispensary to find the right mix of THC and CBD can count on their brand to get exactly what they want every time they buy.
