An Oregon cannabis company gets fined for allegedly mislabeling its products
Oregon Cannabis and CBD products company Cura has been in the news recently, for allegedly recurring and escalating "truth in labeling" issues. The OLCC has accused Cura of producing products which contained unlisted ingredients, of producing products not containing the listed amount of THC, of producing products containing THC which should not have any, and most recently, of producing a high-THC product which contained zero THC.

Would be a lot cooler if you did

Put down the paper towels and burn ointment. A new kind of device is here.
Getting high is fun, but can also be both messy, and dangerous AF. Messy, because as anyone who has ever tipped over a bong can attest, the rancid stench of the vile water can permeate any absorbent surfaces such as a couch, chair or bed, and linger for weeks.

Pros and cons to having stars enter the biz
Lately, some of the people I've seen play pretend on my "story box," or perform music or play professionally with a sportsball, earning them millions of dollars, are becoming involved in cannabis.

Automation is ahead for the cannabis industry
Prior to the pandemic, I was able to make a trip to Las Vegas for the annual Marijuana Business Conference.
