[ad_1] It’s been an eventful month in Oregon cannabis. Below are some early summer notes on three things we’ve been doing and watching and writing about. The Chalice receivership I covered this last month as the ship was going down. Today, the Oregon receivership is well underway and we’re getting regular notices. It hasn’t been smooth from my perspective. The receiver initially rejected a raft of leases, including one held by a landlord we represent.…

[ad_1] Researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) have made a significant discovery in Brazil. They have found cannabidiol (CBD), a compound found in cannabis, in a common Brazilian plant. This finding presents new possibilities for producing CBD, which is becoming increasingly popular. The scientists have specifically identified a native Brazilian species called ‘Trema micrantha (L.) Blume’, which belongs to the ‘Cannabaceae’ family. This shrub, often regarded as a weed, is…

[ad_1] Project CBD recently reported on studies indicating that cannabis terpenes — the compounds that give the plant its robust and distinctive smell — activate the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. What’s more, in the presence of THC (also a CB1 agonist), terpenes appear to modulate cannabinoid activity in varied and interesting ways.1,2 Today we focus on spicy-peppery beta-caryophyllene (BCP), one of the most common cannabis terpenes, which acts on several targets that impact the endocannabinoid system,…

[ad_1] Cannabis users cannot own or possess firearms under federal law. This is true even in states where cannabis is legal, and even for medical patients. These gun rights are very likely going to be held unconstitutional. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is clinging to them nevertheless. I’ve written pretty extensively on the federal laws that strip cannabis users of gun rights, and link to my older posts below. But…

[ad_1] Bickering over how to regulate Delta-8 THC is getting in the way of general cannabis industry reform in Illinois (and that’s not the only state). While the hemp-derived cannabinoid gives access to THC in states where cannabis is illegal, unfortunately, debates over Delta-8 are now making general adult-use legalization more complicated and legislation challenging to pass. Most recently, in Illinois, a cannabis industry reform bill failed at the May legislative deadline. The pushback is…

[ad_1] HHC vs. THC After the Farm Bill of 2018 legalized hemp products, the cannabis industry boomed. New markets, new consumers, and new cannabinoids were all now available, leading to increased investment in research, hemp-derived cannabinoids, and the development of better cannabis products. In the wake of all this innovation, HHC has become increasingly popular as a hemp-derived cannabinoid with psychoactive effects similar to that of THC. Read on to learn about the differences…

[ad_1] Earlier this month cannabis opponents in Slovenia provided an open letter to European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson. The cannabis opponents also issued a press release, which is common for anti-cannabis propaganda efforts. The letter was sent by Preventivna Platforma, which describes itself as ‘a network of NGOs that work in the field of prevention.’ The entity’s professed overall goal is ‘quality in prevention’ and they tout in their publications that their efforts ‘receive…

[ad_1] Ten years ago, most cannabis consumers couldn’t tell a terpene from a cannabinoid. But today things are different. Cannabis flower is categorized according to terpene profile. Product manufacturers add terp blends back into edibles and concentrates. Limonene is practically a household name. And for good reason. Sure, terpenes impart desirable flavors and aromas. They appear to be good for the body, as well.1 Now it turns out that some terpenes also may contribute to…
