Here is our week’s roundup of the most remarkable developments on the state of cannabis in America, including: Cannabis-infused coffee, celebrity-branded cannabis and a charity that will help patients get high.

#1 Now Serving Cannabis Coffee, but will Road Accidents Increase?

Brewbudz, a company in San Diego, is planning to sell single-serve coffee pods infused with cannabis to help people start their day with a bang.

The coffee pods will come in two different varieties: one recreational and another medical. The recreational pod will contain 10 milligrams of THC while the medical pod will contain 50 milligrams.

There could be significant risk involved in drinking cannabis-infused coffee first thing in the morning.

Legal weed in the U.S. is impacting beer sales, according to a report.

Marijuana legalization is proving to be a downer for breweries in Colorado, Oregon and Washington.

A new report is revealing that markets in the three western U.S. states have moved away from tippling to toking.

Sales volumes have fallen by more than 2%, Cowan and Company said in the report, adding that even craft breweries’ sales have gone skunky.

Economy beer volumes for mainstream producers have fallen 2.4%. Premium brands like Coors Light and Bud Light are down 4.4%.

The report, quoted by the Daily Mail, says in Denver, the battle of the buzz is shifting faster to the bong from the beer bottle, with sales falling 6.4%.

Hoping to preserve its marijuana law under the next president, Colorado is planning a slate of legislation designed to crack down on pot that is grown legally but then sold on the black market.

The goal is to cut down on complaints that Colorado’s liberal allowances for growing pot without a license has created a thriving network of illegal growers. Colorado allows medical pot patients to grow up to 99 plants, far beyond other marijuana states, and it also allows recreational users to group their allotted six plants into massive co-ops, entire greenhouses of pot that aren’t tracked or taxed.

One of the biggest arguments that we offer up as marijuana activists is that Marijuana reform will harm organized crime. Marijuana is not going away, so does America want to see the marijuana industry taxed regulated, or does it want the marijuana industry controlled by cartels and gangs? Marijuana opponents will act like prohibition is working, and that if it’s just enforced more, it will work even better.

Ask a Massachusetts marijuana activist for arboreal advice on what to do if you're growing it and you'll get this key piece of guidance: Do not electrocute yourself.

He didn't lead with that, but it remains solid advice, whether tied to growing marijuana or anything else.

"My suggestion to people who want marijuana here in Massachusetts is it would be very smart of them to grow it themselves," Bill Downing, the longtime activist, said at the outset of the interview.

This means, however, you are co-mingling three things that don't co-mingle very well, he added: Water, human beings and electricity for the indoor garden.

"I would suggest they be very, very careful," Downing said.

Marijuana continues to expand out of the basement and into the mainstream with its recent legalization in California, Massachusetts and Nevada. Now entrepreneurs and enthusiasts alike are beginning to invest in what Business Insider calls "the future of marijuana" — microdosing. 

Philippine Death Squads Have Killed Thousands of People Suspected of Using or Selling Drugs Since June.

On Saturday, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump held a telephone call with the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte. According to Duterte, Trump praised Duterte’s deadly war on drugs and invited him to visit the White House. Upon assuming the presidency in June, Duterte made a public call for police and citizens alike to execute people who use or sell drugs, which has resulted in the murder of over 5,000 people suspected of being involved with drugs.

Selling pot at the liquor store isn't sparking up overwhelming public support, according to stats released in a new poll.

The Forum Research survey provided exclusively to the Toronto Sun found that more than a third of Ontarians (36%) think pharmacies are the best place to sell recreational pot, not the Liqour Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) as Premier Kathleen Wynne has suggested. The survey says that specialized marijuana dispensaries rank second with 26% support while selling pot at the LCBO ranked lower with 16% support.

Proportion of respondents who got behind the wheel after using cannabis also up, says CAMH report.

With Ottawa poised to legalize recreational marijuana next year, researchers are keeping a close eye on use of the so-called demon weed, which has been steadily trending upward over the last couple of decades.

In Ontario, for instance, a survey released Wednesday by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) found that year cannabis use virtually doubled between 1996 and 2015, rising from about eight per cent to almost 15 per cent of respondents.

Significant increases were found among all age groups, but especially among 18- to 29-year-olds, with the proportion of pot smokers jumping from about 18 per cent in 1996 to 38 per cent in 2015.

Every driver knows that alcohol-impaired, or "drunk", driving is dangerous and has steep consequences. Drunk driving killed 1,155 people on California roadways in 2014 alone. What individuals may not know, is that they can get a DUI, with all the same consequences, for driving under the influence of drugs, also known as a DUI-D. A new educational campaign from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), "DUI Doesn't Just Mean Booze," is aiming to bring greater awareness of this growing problem.
