420 with CNW – Senate Could Hold Hearings on Cannabis Banking Later this Month

The Senate Banking Committee could schedule hearings on bipartisan legislation on cannabis banking in as little as two weeks.

What’s the Deal with CBD Water?

Apparently, you can put CBD in just about anything. If topical creams, candies, and flower weren’t enough, a few genius brands have figured out how to infuse CBD into water. This is a mildly amazing feat, considering that oil and water typically don’t mix. Perhaps needless to say, a little science is necessary to unite the two together. To successfully merge CBD in a water substance, manufacturers use a special kind of nanotechnology to emulsify CBD particles with another water-soluble compound. The result is an antioxidant-infused water with evenly dispersed amounts of CBD. This nanotechnology was originally developed as a…
