5 Ways to Hemp Your Life (and Why). Top Story - May 2019.
Hemp is inarguably one of the most versatile and useful plants on the planet. In fact, it was so important to our economy that farmers in the colonial days were once required to grow hemp for use of the fibers to produce commodities like paper, ropes, and fuel. The declaration of independence was drafted on hemp paper, George Washington and John Adams farmed hemp, and President Abraham Lincoln used hemp oil to fuel his lamps.

10 Reasons Why Cannabis Isn't like Other Drugs
Nixon's "War on Drugs" and America's D.A.R.E. program are largely considered failures in people over the age of 18. I'll admit that when I was in grade school, hearing about drugs like crystal meth and heroin scared the living hell out of me; and as an adult, I have a more in-depth understanding as to why staying away from these substances is absolutely in my best interest. Sitting in a dark room as my classmates read off their group presentations on different illicit drugs though, I remember listening to the facts rattled off about marijuana and thinking, "What's the big deal?" Maybe I was an observant and rebellious youth (I was not), or maybe the thought of a "gateway drug" creating a "greater risk" to try other substances didn't really connect with me, but either way I steered clear of narcotics while in most of my formative years. Now, as an adult, I have been exposed to marijuana on a handful of occasions, and still find myself wondering, "What's the big deal?" Guess what? Marijuana is not a gateway drug, and you and I both know cannabis isn't like other drugs, too. I'm not just talking about what kind of high it gets you (although I will touch on that); just take a look at this list to see why with a stipulation here and there, cannabis isn't like other drugs.

An Introduction to CBD
Introduction Cannabidoil or “CBD” is one of the 113 cannabinoid compounds found in Cannabis. Contrary to Tetrahydrocannidoil (THC), CBD doesn’t alter your mental state, getting you “high” (see also: Baked; Stoned; Wonky; Blitzed). Both compounds do work in a similar way though, reacting with natural Cannabinoid receptors within the brain and immune system to administer their own unique effects. As I mentioned before there are at least 111 other cannabinoids however these two are the only ones we’re concerned about for now.

How Smoking Weed Can Cause You to Dream Less
If you've just recently started smoking weed, you may or may not have noticed a decrease in your ability to remember your dreams. On the flip side, if you're like me and hardly ever remember your dreams, you make notice that they return if you take a break from smoking marijuana. Personally, I've never cared too much about whether I remember my dreams or not, but your mileage may vary. If you ask me, its a worthwhile trade-off for the other effects smoking weed has, namely a refreshing, deep sleep. But why does weed have any effect on our sleeping habits?

Marijuana on the Brain
In January of 2014, Colorado became the first state in America to legalize the selling of marijuana products to adult consumers. Since then, Colorado has made billions of dollars, which in turn financed businesses and state instead of criminals. Crime has also dropped more than 10 percent since the substance was legalized, making Colorado a safer and richer state. Along with Colorado, states such as Washington and Oregon have also fully legalized marijuana, making weed a rapidly growing, widely known item. Not only is marijuana becoming super popular over the years, it has developed its own culture as well. It has even changed the culture of weed here on the islands, causing the point of view of the plant to be more accepted. Although marijuana has many positive impacts on revenue, health, and crime, how does it affect one’s cognitive abilities?
