This is Shuman’s world: glitz, glam, and ganj. As the director of the Beverly Hills Cannabis Club, a high-end purveyor of luxury weed and accessories, her love for cannabis overlaps with her activism which overlaps with her pot rebranding campaign. And while we might associate weed with Ziploc baggies and hazy basements, this is more about diamond studded vape pens and Hollywood soirées.

Recent Google data proves that legalization measures have caused an uptick in public curiosity regarding marijuana.

According to Business Insider, Google searches for “cannabis” increased approximately 75% from 2004 to 2016.

Dozens of states legalized medical marijuana within that time frame, while four passed measures legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

More children are using drugs in Colorado since recreational marijuana was legalized four years before, Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said at a news conference.

The mayor said that, “The problem with the leap to legalization is the message it sends to young people in terms of their perception of risk. That’s what’s caused the dramatic increase in youth use in Colorado.”

The Arizona’s Proposition 205 has been criticized by Suthers, police Sgt. Jim Gerhardt, two Arizona law-enforcement leaders and Thornton. The bill will allow the recreational use of marijuana within certain limits.
