Cannabis is still considered a Schedule 1 drug by the Drug Enforcement Agency along with heroin and LSD, which is defined as not having any accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

The day in the life of a low-key 4/20
Ancient lore has it that in the 1970s a group of high schoolers would meet daily at 4:20 to smoke weed.

Both things are true. Congress did indeed pass the 2022 Marijuana Opportunity […]

After the Green Rush
Hemp production declined this year as the industry recoils from an oversaturated market
It’s been three years since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp production on all agricultural land in the United States after nearly 50 years of prohibition. A verifiable green rush followed, with farmers hoping to cash in on the versatile new crop. Over 11,000 acres of hemp were grown in Oregon in 2018, and by […]
