Specific differences mark a distinction between the two sexes.

Since the basic ones are body, size, and shape, other differences between are a bit more subtle and appear only when we take a chemical and biological look at the two. Such variations make a direct impact with regards to how CBD interact within their bodies. Although hormonal levels are responsible for building the contrast, we shouldn’t forget how hormones of men and women can influence other cannabidiols’ and CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Dear parents, it’s about time to break the misconception instilled in our brains by the mainstream media.

Your influence on your teenager supersedes that of social media, friends, teachers, and others! For your kids, you’re the torchbearer. You’re the one they look up to and who they model their behavior after. Never forget that!

When kids reach teenagehood, for most parents, conversations start to become unpleasant, to say the least. Topics such as sex, drugs, and alcohol abuse pop up and become necessary talking points.

Now, because the nature of these types of conversations is touchy, many parents simply decide not to have them.

Despite CBD’s wide reaching popularity, purchasing these products requires a good amount of research and care.

Social media is a great place to look for products, because whether it’s Instagram or Facebook, these platforms can easily connect you with stuff you enjoy. There’s also an algorithm that keeps track of your online behavior, showing you products that fit your tastes. As of late, however, social media has become a space filled with ads and sponsored posts. This should make us all think twice before hitting that purchase button, especially when it comes to CBD.

Cultivating homegrown pot on Prince Edward Island? Better check your home insurance first.

A P.E.I.-based insurance company informed policyholders last month that it will refuse coverage for any building and its contents where cannabis is being cultivated, unless the company can ensure it is being grown in a safe manner.

P.E.I. Mutual Insurance Company sent mailed letters to policyholders noting that growing cannabis is associated with an increase in risk in commercial and residential buildings alike.

Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Hifyre™ Inc., announced the successful launch of the Spark Perks™ Fastlane™ "click-and-collect" service in Fire & Flower Ontario store locations in Ottawa and Kingston.

Click-and-collect online cannabis ordering and pickup services recently became permissible as a result of a change in the Ontario regulations earlier this year.

Yellowknife is still lacking licensed, private cannabis stores – and even, sometimes, any cannabis itself – almost 18 months after the drug's legalization in Canada.

In the NWT, the process of licensing new stores falls to the Department of Finance. On Monday, finance minister Caroline Wawzonek acknowledged the process was taking longer than expected.

"There certainly has been a delay," said Wawzonek.

At the moment, cannabis is only legally sold in the Northwest Territories through government-controlled stores.

The process of allowing business owners to operate private cannabis stores began last spring, when hopeful Yellowknife entrepreneurs were invited to respond to a request for qualifications.

Albertans are among the biggest consumers of legal cannabis in Canada but it may still be several years before the provincial government turns a profit in the industry. 

The Alberta government is expecting to lose around $26 million in the 2019-20 fiscal year and will continue to be in the red the next three years, due to setup, administration and inventory costs. The 2020-21 fiscal year is expected to be even more in the red, with a net loss of $36 million. 

The province wasn't expecting to make money in the first two years; even the previous NDP government had projected to lose about $90 million until 2020-21 when the province expected a net income of $37 million.

A preliminary study to be presented at an upcoming American Academy of Neurology conference claims teens with epilepsy treated with pharmaceutical CBD fared better than those using “artisanal” cannabidiol.

“Artisanal” refers to a product made in a traditional or non-mechanized way. Artisanal cannabidiol is manufactured outside of what would be considered an industrial laboratory environment. The preference for artisanal cannabidiol could be any of a number of reasons – including cost. It’s been used by some patients for years to help manage epilepsy.

Cannabis is undoubtedly having a moment. In some of the biggest markets around the world, both CBD and THC – the most prevalent of the cannabinoids found in the plant – are being added to all manner of products. But could Cannabis ‘drinkables’ soon be more popular than ‘edibles’?

In countries such as Canada, which launched ‘Cannabis 2.0‘ in October, and a growing number of states in the USA, Cannabis offers big opportunities to new and existing businesses. And in no area is this truer than the food and drinks industry.

Since Canada legalized weed in October of 2018, cannabis companies have been struggling to compete with the still-thriving black market in the country. 

In an effort to sway consumers toward legal marijuana, several Canadian cannabis businesses opted to launch new low-cost products.

Last year, Ottawa-based Hexo Corp announced a new product dubbed Original Stash that retails for $125.70 for a 28-gram package.

Now other companies are joining in with their respective lower-priced variants.

In April, Canopy Growth plans to launch Twd. – a one-ounce product that will sell for $4 per gram. The company says Twd. will feature a THC content of 13% to 25%.
