The Fun We Had with Weed
I know everyone says you shouldn't smoke marijuana as a kid. It causes brain development issues and all that. Well, we smoked it quite a bit. I will be indulging in some of my memories when I used it. So I first smoked it in the 9th grade. It was okay but it got more fun when summer came around.

States Expected to Legalize Marijuana by 2019
In an age of advancing medical science and analysis, many professionals are willing to take a different look at substances once dogged by society due to the influence of political and commercial interests. After realizing the medical benefits and general harmlessness of cannabis through deeper study, some states have decided to allow its recreational use. Though only recreationally legal in Oregon, Alaska, Washington State, Washington D.C., Vermont, California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maine, and Colorado, we may likely see its introduction in a number of new states soon. For reasons both practical and social, many other states are looking into this possibility. As many political, commercial, and social forces have grown to see the potential assets and benefits offered by cannabis, the tide of legalization is beginning to come in. With the coming 2018 midterm elections, many ballot initiatives and power shifts, as well as votes by various state legislatures, are expected to bring about cannabis reform in a number of new states. With voters support rising and the potential profits becoming apparent, legalization is expected to expand past the United States of America in the near future. Though there is still a great deal of push-back from the federal government, numerous states are expected to legalize marijuana by 2019 or soon after.

First Time Making Edibles
So, already being an experienced cannabis user for years, I decided that instead of spending my money on edibles, I would make them myself for once. Knowing it would be a time consuming process, I was ready. I was going to make cannabis infused milk. "Milk?" you may think, but really you can infuse any food that contains a high amount of fat such as butter or oil, or in my case, milk that had a high content of fat in it.

Profiting Off Marijuana in Canada
So the main reason to get into the marijuana industry now is so you can get it at a cheap price. For the next three months, the companies will not report their statistics until the quarter is complete. When this happens, expect an increase in the price of the marijuana stock(s). I can tell you to invest in Canadian ones because of the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate right now; every U.S. dollar you have is worth $1.34 Canadian.
