  It should be no surprise that the marijuana industry has experienced a gigantic burst of rapid growth in recent years. While it used to be that most people feared even the merest mention of marijuana, it is nowadays being considered as on par with medical options for treating all manner of different conditions. However, while more marijuana and marijuana products being available can only be a good thing for most people, there is one big group that is not especially happy about this development: The pharmaceutical industry. But exactly how much does marijuana’s explosion in popularity affect Big Pharma? Is this really a case of marijuana versus the pharmaceutical industry? Is the Cannabis Industry a Threat to Big Pharma? At first look, it might seem logical to assume that there is no way that marijuana or the growth of the marijuana industry could possibly affect the pharmaceutical industry. After all, the pharmaceutical industry is worth almost half a billion dollars,...

  If you were to ask ten people about their opinion on marijuana, you would likely get ten different answers. With cannabis constantly in the limelight, and gaining more traction as it becomes more widely accepted, it seems that more diverse groups are starting to discuss the plant. With the history of the marijuana plant dating back many thousands of years, it seems that people are now debating the plant’s role in the Bible. But did Jesus smoke weed? Opinions amongst religious groups are pretty split on this one, and to be clear, there’s no real way to know for sure! While there are a growing number of religions that openly embrace cannabis – the Rastafarian religion being perhaps the best known of the lot – it is interesting to know what the Bible says about our favorite plant. In this article, I am going to take a look at what the most famous book in the world has to say about the most controversial plant in history, and if in fact, marijuana was ever mentioned expl...

  Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second most abundant cannabinoid in marijuana after Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and won't give you the "high" feeling. Instead, CBD offers a wide variety of other benefits to many users. CBD is growing in popularity as an alternative supplement and has been reported to reduce discomfort caused by cancer, arthritis, MS, fibromyalgia, nerve disorders, and many other health complaints. Because each person will have a unique reaction to CBD, you won’t know if these products work for you until you try it for yourself. Users say CDB products help them fall asleep or cope with complications from chronic diseases. Some of our customers even use CBD to help reduce stress and anxiety in their pets. Strict labeling of CBD and THC content helps users determine the ideal dose that will work on an individual basis. The percentage of CDB in every product is tested and labeled in compliance with ...

    When it comes to marijuana the list of paraphernalia is endless! All you really need is some bud, a lighter and a smoking device, but you can improve your smoking experience with a few simple accessories. Ask the budtenders working in the marijuana dispensaries of Colorado Springs about the items that can elevate your next high. GRINDER - One of the most common questions the Budtenders hear is, "Why do I need a grinder?" Technically, you don't. You can tear and shred your weed by hand and it'll get you perfectly high. Grinders ensure your weed is evenly ground for a smoother smoke. Many grinders include a kief catcher to store the tasty trichomes that fall off for future enjoyment. HEMP WICK & MATCHES - There's nothing wrong with using a lighter, but you can always improve how you light up. Matches are great for evenly lighting a blunt or joint. Hemp wicks make sharing a bowl or bong easier than ever. Just wrap a few lengths...

  Many of us have had the “mystery cannabis” experience: You get marijuana from a friend or acquaintance. You don’t know anything about how it was grown or produced, how potent it is or how it will make you feel. There’s only one way to find out…. Obviously, this can go well or not-so-well. You might have felt too high, or nothing at all. You might have felt sick. You might have felt ripped off. (Again, we’ve been there.) Fortunately, dispensary cannabis is much more of a known quantity—think of it as choose-your-own-adventure rather than mystery.

You can be confident of what cannabinoids and terpenes are in your cannabis (those are compounds that cause certain effects) and whether you can expect a specific sensation, like a high or reduced pain. Even more importantly, testing tells you that your cannabis isn’t laden with stuff you definitely do...

  It’s no secret that the holidays can be stressful, sleep-deprived, and often equally as challenging as they are cheerful. Cannabis can help. Having trouble sleeping during these festive times? Here’s how cannabis helps: Mixing CBN (Cannabinol) into your nightly routine can have a substantially positive effect on your 6-8 hours. CBN is the product of THC degradation (as THC ages, it turns in part to CBN). When combined with THC, terpenes, and other minor cannabinoids CBN has the therapeutic potential of aiding in sedation. If you’re in need of a good night’s sleep look for products that have elevated levels of CBN. We recommend either the Sour Indica or Sweet Indica pucks from Highly Edibles.
