Opinion: Health experts say cannabis link to suicide not cut and dried

People who use marijuana are more likely to have suicidal thoughts. That’s the latest round of anti-pot propaganda coming from a couple of bodies of research published over the last two months.

It’s enough to scare parents worried about their kids getting wrapped up in the novelty of weed and then being carted off to a very dark place. However, health professionals say the link between the consumption of cannabis and increased suicidal behaviour is not that cut and dried.

Surprisingly Smart Data for Cannabis Tourism

Lately, there’s been quite a bit of ‘buzz’ about the notion of cannabis tourism and its potential impact on global tourism generally.  

I have attended several webinars and information sessions over the past year or two directed at tour operators, restaurateurs, and innkeepers on how to prepare for and engage potential audiences.  

It appears that operating cannabis tourism space will never be easy.  

Even if one thinks they may have the audience part figured out, operating such a business can be difficult to manage, and is dependent upon what region of the world one occupies.  

Light up a joint in some parts of the world and we might never hear from you again…

The head of the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) says the growth of weed retail in the province has been impressive, but people should be prepared for some “market right-sizing” as a result of an increasingly competitive environment.

It is anticipated that Ontario cannabis retail will continue to grow, possibly reaching 1,000 stores by this September, David Lobo, interim president and CEO of the OCS, writes in the agency’s newly released annual report, covering the Apr. 1, 2020 to Mar. 31, 2021 period.

9 Science-Backed Benefits Of CBD Oil

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis sativa plant. When applied topically or consumed through smoke inhalation or edible consumption, CBD interacts with neuroreceptors in your endocannabinoid system, which sends signals between your cells to help regulate your movement, mood, homeostasis and immune system.

CBD is often extracted from the cannabis sativa plant in oil form and mixed with an inert carrier oil like hemp seed oil for consumption. In recent years, CBD oil has skyrocketed in popularity thanks to its purported calming effects. It can now be found in a range of products from simple oil tinctures to CBD-infused potato chips.

CBD research is growing, too. Here are nine ways studies suggest CBD oil could benefit your health.

Are there risks to smoking moldy weed?

Mould is gross and easy to spot, particularly when it comes to food. In the case of weed, it’s very different (but still gross). If a person finds an old joint under the couch, should he or she toss it out? Are there risks to smoking moldy weed?

Sadly, mould is never a good thing to inhale, no matter how much a person is jonseing for a puff. Inhaling mould could pose some health hazards to the lungs, increasing the odds of coughing and perhaps then developing a lung infection.

Clinical Trial Suggests Cannabinoids Effective at Treating Insomnia

Insomnia is a major problem across the globe.

In fact, it is estimated that as many as 60% of people on earth suffer from a sleeping disorder.

The lack of sufficient sleep can be caused by many factors. Insomnia comes in two forms. 

The first is “primary insomnia in which the sleep disorder is not related to another condition.

Secondary insomnia occurs when a person’s inability to sleep is due to one or more other conditions such as asthma, heartburn, or cancer.

3 Predictions for Cannabis and Hemp in 2021

1. Hemp will diversify 

The hemp business is set to continue tremendous growth throughout the year and beyond. While hemp-derived products like CBD gummies and oils are currently all the rage, there is likely to be new uses of the fibrous portion of the plant, such as biodegradable plastic alternatives, textiles, paper products, and more.

As we look to the future, the usages of hemp will continue to be far more mainstream and distributed than ever before, and we'll likely even see it expand into insulation and geotextiles in building materials.
