While it is critical for the industry to determine rules, regulations and standards for pesticide use and quality control, the Colorado Governor has set unrealistic and unenforceable standards for Colorado Cultivation Facilities. More than a year after the city of Denver first started actively policing the marijuana industry’s use of pesticides, the city’s health department […]
If there’s one thing that Massachusetts public officials — Democrat and Republican, urban and suburban, local and state — seem to agree on lately, it’s that the voters should not legalize marijuana at the polls this November. First, the governor, the mayor of Boston and the attorney general (or, apparently, their staffs) penned a joint op-ed in The Boston Globe poo-pooing the proposed […]
COLUMBUS — After Ohio voters resoundingly defeated an ill-formed effort to legalize marijuana last fall, everyone started talking about “doing something” on medical marijuana. The idea was popular with voters: As many as 90 percent of Ohioans say patients should be allowed to use marijuana for medical purposes approved by a doctor.

Because he’s a scientist, not a back-slapping venture capitalist, Mowgli Holmes loathes using the term networking to describe even the portion of his job that entails shaking hands in the cannabis industry. But it was networking that brought the chief scientific officer of Phylos Bioscience in Portland, Oregon, to Las Vegas in November 2014 to attend the […]

Medical marijuana supporters have descended on the state Capitol hoping for long-awaited action that would legalize medical marijuana for more than a dozen conditions. The state House on Monday afternoon was expected to begin discussing and amending SB 3, which passed overwhelmingly in the Senate nearly a year ago. The Senate had passed a bill […]
Liberal-leaning Vermont legislature could become the first U.S. state to legalize recreational marijuana use, rather than by voter initiative, in a move that advocates for the drug say could speed its acceptance across the nation.
