Countries with the Most Relaxed Weed Laws
One of the most debated questions nowadays is whether you should or shouldn’t smoke weed. And perhaps we are not the ones who should tell you what you should do, but you should still know which countries you can smoke if you want to, and not into any trouble. Some say it’s super healthy, others say it’s not, but one thing’s for certain—the people who smoke weed, really love smoking it. However, it’s still illegal in most countries in the world, and even though you might disagree with this and hashtagging all of your posts with #LegalizeIt, the truth is that we really have to pay attention where and when we’re smoking. So, behold the countries that have won the 4/20 award as it’s quite legal (or only possible but still illegal) to smoke there:

Why Legalizing Cannabis Can Help The United States
Currently there are many reasons why someone diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) would want to advocate for legalizing medical and recreational marijuana or cannabis, but this is not a perspective trying to advocate for the medical benefits; this is for the economic benefit of legalizing cannabis nationwide. We are a capitalist society and people really like money. What if I told you there is a product that does not need any advertising other than an explanation on where to buy it? A product that sells itself? A product you can tax.

Evolution of Cannabis Consumption
My dad was a hippie who grew up in the late 60s and was open with me about how he often smoked pot in his youth. I can only imagine what kind of dank weed he must've been smoking compared to evolved strains that exist today. In addition to the evolution of cannabis strains and the vast array of cannabis products to choose from, but we've also seen a huge evolution in technology and the improved methods of cannabis consumption that include digital vaporizers such as the Pax 3 vaporizer.

Packing Bowls for Beginners
Nothing wrong with rolling a couple of joints here and there, but they just get burned so quickly. What if you just wanted to try something different, perhaps a bowl? With so many different forms of smoking, joints just sometimes don't provide us that ganja justice we stoners deserve.

Author Believes Marijuana Legalization Should Proceed Carefully
Marijuana legalization can engender an image of the drug’s laid back disciples who will tend their little plots around daily smokes circles, while lamenting the loss of the counterculture. Then waiting to exhale just after 4:20 p.m. every day, plenty of time shall be left to bag their haul to a local retailer who’s eager to dispense peace and contentment, as both remember to stick it to the man for old time’s sake. That is just one of the marijuana myths author Kevin Sabet was trying to dispel for students, staff and law enforcement this Thursday at Fox Lane High School as the nation seems poised to enact a retail sale legalization of marijuana.

Does Marijuana Affect Brain Development?
Marijuana can be a very useful substance, but given the relative lack of knowledge about long-term effects, we could all stand to be as educated as possible before engaging. A little cannabis can be great for social gatherings, as it reduces anxiety and temporarily improves mood. However, Mary Jane doesn’t always treat its users fairly. This beautiful plant can turn into a flower of doom amongst younger smokers.

Can Marijuana Help You Lose Weight?
When most people think of a session with Mary Jane, the image of vegging out in heavy couchlock, a bag of Doritos in one hand and a TV remote in the other, springs to mind. Now, this isn't exactly what your average fitness coach means when they say “work out”, unless you're trying to jack up your button-pressing thumb muscles. Based on all of the common conceptions about marijuana munchies, it should stand to reason that cannabis users have a higher incidence of obesity and weight-related diseases like diabetes than do the general population; while an understandable assumption, this is not the case. If we accept that cannabis users often eat more and get less exercise, it begs the question: “can marijuana help you lose weight?”

Benefits of CBD Oil
Until recently, the study of the positive effects of marijuana has been relatively overlooked, as have the benefits of cannabidiol, or CBD oil, a non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Besides the still-evident stigmatization of cannabis, specific government legislation and funding constraints have made it all the more difficult for scientists to focus on CBD research.

Why Marijuana Gives You the Munchies
Everyone is familiar with the munchies; that intense, gotta-have-some-snacks-now feeling you get from using marijuana. However, not many people know why marijuana gives you the munchies. In order to provide some edutainment, we will explore the science behind cannabis and its connection to the salty, sticky, sweet snacks that so often follow. There are many different explanations for why cannabis causes the munchies, and each one may just be playing a part in a larger system that we do not yet understand. Just because we do not have a full understanding does not mean that we know nothing at all, however. So lite up, settle in, and get ready to learn why marijuana gives you the munchies.

Understanding Cannabinoids
Understanding cannabinoids as a layman seems to be only slightly less confusing than understanding them as a scientist. That’s not entirely true, but we are talking about a system within the human body with who-knows-how-many receptors and we’ve identified exactly two in the last twenty years. Which is great, because new science is fun, and the concept of understanding cannabinoids is definitely new science.
