Exploring the Benefits of LED Grow Lights and Grow Tents   The use of LED technology is gaining popularity across the globe. Many homeowners are now opting for LED bulbs in place of the conventionally used compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) and incandescent bulbs.

How to Plan Your Own Marijuana Dispensary Business   Until the last few decades, conducting a bud company legally was not aware of; nonetheless more countries are legalizing the harvest. In 2018, the marijuana business is predicted to burst, resulting in additional yearly revenues in the billions. Job and industry opportunities in the cannabis sector are predicted to maintain the thousands to match the increasing demand for this item. From 2019, retail and dispensaries earnings are predicted to reach $6.5M -- $8M each Marijuana Business Daily.   In spite of a business of bursting sales, it's necessary to stress that national law still hears marijuana as an illegal material. The DOJ hasn't actually taken any active function in the medical and recreational marijuana projects, but will not possess the national appropriate. Typically, so long as a marijuana dispensary company owner abides by each of the neighborhood and state legislation then they will probably not capture the adv...

CANNABIS CULTURE- Using cannabis and cannabinoids to treat various conditions is seen as controversial when it comes to treating children. Yet, for all the controversy, it seems strange that people are so critical of cannabis when there are many drugs that are far more addictive and dangerous than cannabis being prescribed to children. Take childhood epilepsy (e.g. Dravet Syndrome), for example, where children are given all sorts of highly addictive antiseizure drugs and benzodiazepines, many…

CANNABIS CULTURE- So our wonderful progressive Green-NDP BC government have seen fit to ask the public about their plans to legalize. They are trying to pretend cannabis is a hard drug when the reality is it's a very soft drug. As a pot activist, I try and set an example for others to follow. I don't think cannabis needs to be treated as strictly as tobacco or alcohol. In fact, I think it sends the…

Canadians were looking forward to a decriminalized landscape and a loosened attitude about the ‘moral failings’ of humans who uses cannabis.

Habu Health and Smart Cannabis With cannabis legalization comes the opportunity for cannabis education.  We are currently living in a society (in the U.S. anyway) where we have been fed decades of propaganda and conjecture by the federal government, and actual studies and research about cannabis (much less factual public education) have been virtually impossible.

CANNABIS CULTURE- There are medicines that we can supply ourselves - mostly herbal medicines - which also happen to be, on average, safer, cheaper and more effective than the synthetics. The advantage of synthetics seem to be mostly producer advantages - they can be patented and monopolized. Creating a herb monopoly can be challenging, as the governments faced with cannabis legalization are currently finding. One way synthetics can maintain their artificial advantage over herbs is…

Legalizing cannabis doesn't just create jobs involving cultivation of the plant; it also creates businesses that aid those cultivations, infused-product manufacturers and dispensaries. Ancillary businesses to the cannabis industry can be in anything from extraction technology to industry consulting, with many, many things in between.

CANNABIS CULTURE- Cannabis doesn’t seem to work on the same area of the brain that codes for the sensation of pain like opiates and opioids do, but rather the part of the brain that regulates our emotions and how we react to pain.

Canada's elite athletes are smoking, eating and investing in marijuana. Is a toke before stepping to the start line far off?
