420 with CNW — Federally Funded Research Concludes Testing THC Level to Detect Driver Impairment Is Unreliable

In a bid to reduce the rates of impaired driving as cannabis becomes more accessible, several states have set THC thresholds that bar individuals who have more than a certain amount of THC in their system from driving. The thinking is that, as with alcohol, higher levels of THC in the blood are directly responsible for higher levels of impairment, and establishing a threshold gives law enforcement officials a standard for which they can test to see how impaired an individual is. While it is a noble policy that's geared towards ensuring safety on the roads, cannabis proponents have long…

420 with CNW — Cannabis Boom Revives Storefronts, Factories; Brings Jobs to Michigan

Before the state of Michigan legalized marijuana, various areas in the Southwest were filled with empty storefronts and warehouses. However, the plant’s legalization brought with it marijuana-industry investors into the state who were looking for locations to process and grow plants, as well as establish dispensaries. City leaders in southwest Michigan state that the marijuana industry has brought more than 10 years’ worth of redevelopment to the area, adding that even more projects are scheduled to begin in the next year or so. In the last two years alone, the sum investment in equipment and buildings in Buchanan and Niles…

420 with CNW — UC San Diego Research Explores Cannabis Use Against Migraines

Long before America had a growing state-legal cannabis sector, regular users claimed the controversial drug was a great pain relief option. With more than 30 states now allowing the use of medical marijuana, thousands of patients have been able to get a taste of cannabis' alleged pain-relief abilities. However, due to marijuana's controlled status at the federal level, researchers have been unable to have a more conclusive look at its purported medical abilities — until recently. Now, a group of researchers at UC San Diego is taking advantage of its state's pro-cannabis legislation to launch the first placebo-controlled study into how…

420 with CNW — Genetic Testing May Help Transform the Marijuana Sector

Recent research conducted by CSO and president of EVIO Labs Inc. (OTC: EVIO) Anthony Smith and M.J. Murdock Metabolomics Lab director Bernd Markus Lange, together with their colleagues, may be useful to marijuana consumers, producers and breeders. The researchers examined various data sets to differentiate marijuana strains. Each strain of marijuana contains different concentrations of cannabinoids, including CBD, which is nonpsychoactive, and THC, which is psychoactive. This allows consumers to choose marijuana based on desired effects, such as particular aromas and relaxation. However, the genetic information that makes up these differences isn’t well understood. This is why the researchers’ discoveries…

420 with CNW — Are CBD Gummies Worth Trying Out?

Ever since Congress legalized industrial hemp and its derivatives via the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp extract cannabidiol (“CBD”) has become exceedingly popular. It is part of a group of compounds called cannabinoids that are produced by plants in the cannabis family, and unlike THC, it does not get users high. Instead, CBD is allegedly packed with numerous health benefits, and as the industry has matured, CBD edibles have become especially popular with consumers. In fact, the CBD edibles space is one of the fastest-growing markets in the nascent CBD industry, growing from what was a niche product just a couple…

420 with CNW — Study Finds Medical Cannabis Containing THC Can Work Better Than Cannabidiol

The past decade has seen medical cannabis become exceedingly popular as more than 30 states have passed legislation allowing qualifying patients to use marijuana for medical purposes. Consequently, there has been increased, although still limited, research into marijuana's medical potential, and one theory has almost become a fact in many people's minds. THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), the main psychoactive agent in cannabis, has been unofficially dubbed the fun cannabinoid that has barely any medicinal properties and gets users high while CBD (cannabidiol) is the medical powerhouse responsible for marijuana's purported medical abilities. Most of state-legal medical cannabis programs only allow cannabis…
