It won’t be long before Newfoundland and Labrador’s RCMP is equipped with portable roadside drug-screening devices, the police service has announced.

Representing another tool to aid officers with suspected cannabis drug-impaired driving investigations, the devices “will be rolling out to various areas of the province in the near future,” according to the RCMP. In the next few weeks, 21 such devices will be distributed in locations across the province.

The results of the 2020 election in the United States touched off a wave of enthusiasm among Canadian cannabis companies looking to cash in on business opportunities south of the border.

With the Democrats retaining their majority in the House of Representatives while picking up control of the Senate and the White House, it appeared to casual observers that full federal legalization could be just around the corner. This is still possible, but it is by no means certain.

Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities within the legal hemp-derived CBD space for companies looking to expand their presence south of the border.

Seth Rogen talks to Q’s Tom Power about his hilarious new memoir, Yearbook, and his famous use of weed.

"As someone who has done this a very long time, nothing is valued less on this planet — creatively — than comedy," he told host Tom Power in an interview on CBC Radio's Q."It is by far the least valued creative output. My wife has done puzzles that have gotten more praise than entire comedic films that we've made.

Should federal legalization pass in the U.S., sales could boom not only because of broader demand, but because American companies are prepared for this eventuality.

Cannabis industry optimism in the United States is mounting alongside increasing expectations for national legalization.

Skeptics, however, point to the Canadian experience and suggest we temper our enthusiasm. To be sure, years removed from 2018 legalization, most marijuana producers in Canada are still reporting losses.

Cannabis has substantial potential in Canada, but it has been a bumpy ride so far. At first, producers were not prepared with enough supply to meet demand. There was a substantial backlog in orders, and producers were not sure what products or strains would be popular and where.

The latest study goes against the grain of previous research that shows how property values increase with the onset of legalization.

Marijuana legalization is happening across the United States. Naysayers have predicted that a veritable apocalyptic moment is coming on the heels of the movement, screaming about how ending marijuana prohibition would increase crime, minor consumption rates and contribute to the overall decline of civil society.

The OPP carried out five search warrants at three greenhouses and two residences Wednesday morning in the areas of County Roads 31 and 34 in Kingsville, and Seacliff Drive West in Leamington.

Authorities said they seized more than 20,000 cannabis plants, more than 1,400 pounds of processed cannabis, some Canadian currency and equipment. They said the cannabis is likely worth more than $18 million.
