Catering to consumers who use marijuana as medicine
Omar Sacirbey, MJBizDaily - 4 days ago
Medical marijuana isn’t exclusive to MMJ dispensaries. It’s true that consumers with serious health problems are more likely to shop at dispensaries than adult-use retailers in order to access more potent products, higher purchasing limits and low to no taxes on medical marijuana. But many cannabis consumers with less acute medical or wellness needs avoid […] Catering to consumers who use marijuana as medicine is a post from: Marijuana Business Daily: Financial, Legal & Cannabusiness news for cannabis entrepreneurs
While physicians see patients benefiting from cannabis, national medical associations remain unconvinced
Omar Sacirbey, MJBizDaily - 4 days ago
A growing number of physicians see medical cannabis as legitimate medicine, but many remain skeptical if not reluctant to recommend it.

Laura Drotleff, MJBizDaily - 4 days ago
Move over CBD. Make way for CBN and CBG.

That’s because of the effects that are possible through broad- or full-spectrum extracts as well as the […] Minor cannabinoids will likely have a large role in the wellness industry is a post from: Marijuana Business Daily: Financial, Legal & Cannabusiness news for cannabis entrepreneurs
Experts point to breeding and extraction as ways to capture minor cannabinoids
Bart Schaneman, MJBizDaily - 4 days ago
As minor cannabinoids gain popularity and acceptance among cannabis consumers, extraction companies looking to cash in on the trend can approach creating them in several ways.

From Pfizer to PharmaCann: Bringing Big Pharma expertise to cannabis
Omar Sacirbey, MJBizDaily - 4 days ago
The key to developing effective medical and wellness products for cannabis consumers begins with understanding what patients want and expect—and what the ever-growing universe of plant-based medicines can deliver.

There are so many tragic stories now of loved ones dying after taking an experimental COVID injection, that one has to wonder if people are now starting to become desensitized by all these stories as the public is perhaps being conditioned to accept "death by lethal injection" as part of the "new normal?"

She won't win of course, even if the hawk drops the baby, it will be too late, but she's putting up a massive fight. Yesterday I saw the hawk chasing a heron that was 10x its size--probably protecting her babies or eggs. A mother robin has chased away our nesting doves near the front door, and stolen their nest.
