Marijuana legalization and support for the plant has seen an uprising in the last few years. Pennsylvania has now joined the fray by taking a giant leap further in getting their people marijuana to help treat medical conditions, as the state announced the launch of its patient and caregiver registry. This is fantastic news for the state of Pennsylvania as officials also announced a second grower-processor has been approved to operate, in White Haven. They announced the approval for the first grower-processor in early November, while ten more are expected to get the go-ahead to start planting seeds as well.
After the Health Department announced a successful pilot program, agencies began to start taking applications from people to participate. More than 100 physicians have been approved to participate, a list that’s expected to almost triple in the near future.

Doctors must certify patients’ illnesses before the patients can obtain an identification card from the Health Department, so having hundreds of physicians participating is a major plus.

CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are the two headline cannabinoids—and they behave very differently. THC is intoxicating and drives the classic cannabis buzz; CBD is non-intoxicating…
We here in the U.S. are often only blissfully aware of our own cannabis culture, products, and laws. Despite our country’s current excellence in breeding and advancing cannabis cultivars and culture, the world of weed isn’t just centered around what we do here. Different countries, even different continents, have their own traditions, norms, and styles…
Professionals administer nitrous oxide (N₂O) as an anesthetic, but people also inhale it recreationally for a brief, disorienting high. The short durations of this dissociative experience spur repeated uses, easily leading to abuse. Nitrous may be fun in the moment, but some pretty bad health issues present themselves not long after. Why Do People…
Cannabis flower is potent, but it’s far from the herb’s final or most powerful form. That honor goes to cannabis concentrates, which you can find in various forms and flavors.
