Could A Small 250-Acre Oregon Town Become the Next Cannabis Haven?

Tiller, Oregon is an idyllic riverside town. It’s bordered by national parks, with abundant resources and enough infrastructure to support a handful of residents. It also happens to be for sale, and while it will most likely be turned into a housing development of some sort - the 256-acre plot of multi-use land is also getting plentiful interest from the cannabis industry.

Can I fly with my legal weed? The skies are surprisingly friendly for marijuana users

Even though it's part of a federal agency, the TSA doesn't really care about your pot.

Marijuana is legal now in eight states and medical marijuana is legal in 28. That’s a lot of places where at least some people can possess the demon weed. But what if you’re in one of those places and you want to fly elsewhere? If pot is legal, can I take it on the plane?

Well, that depends.

Colorado: New residential marijuana grow limit likely to pass

On Monday, March 13, the Colorado House passed a proposal to limit residential pot grows in an effort to clamp down on criminal activity and force more patients into the regulated marketplace. House Bill 1220, “Prevent Marijuana Diversion to Illegal Market,” is the culmination of a years-long debate over the state’s relatively lenient home-grow laws. Currently, those laws limit personal grows to 99 plants. Colorado is the only one of 28 medical marijuana states to allow so many plants, which some claim has led to a proliferation of neighborhood grow operations that divert product out-of-state.

UK: Hemp gummy aims for slice of €188m cannabis extract market

The European cannabis extract market could be a set for boost following the introduction of a novelty gummy, says Love Hemp.

The UK-based firm says it has sold out of its initial stock of 2,000 gummy bears infused with cannabidiol (CBD) in under 48 hours and believes its novelty product could be a hit in Europe and further afield - taking a slice of a global CBD industry worth around $200million (€188m).

The sweets are sold as a food supplement and each fruit flavoured bear contains 10mg of CBD, as well vitamin B12 and vitamin D3.

The hemp company believes some consumers are turned off by supplements containing hemp oil because of their strong taste, with gummy bears providing a sweet alternative.
