Voters rejected a state constitutional amendment that would have meant only 10 companies could operate legally in the state.

Legal marijuana entrepreneurs are upbeat that Ohio voters rejected a ballot proposal on Tuesday that would have legalized the sale of medical and recreational cannabis.

Hormone uses the body's internal cannabinoids to make socializing pleasurable.

Literally.

As a yogi and someone who enjoys cannabis, I am interested in the benefits of using it as a way to enhance my yoga practice. It is exciting and exhilarating to develop and explore yoga as a practice, and I’ve been happily surprised to discover that cannabis can enhance this exploration. My hope in sharing my thoughts about combining cannabis and yoga is not to encourage you to go off the deep end, but rather to help you refine both your practice and your cannabis use.

Now that Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have won the federal election, we will soon see whether our new government will follow through on its campaign promise to legalize marijuana and remove possession from the Criminal Code.

Ten years ago, before the Harper years, the nation seemed poised to revise its position on marijuana prohibition. In fact, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that something was about to change, as the debate at that time often focused on decriminalization versus outright legalization.

However, the Liberals' attempts at decriminalization didn't sit well with our American neighbours, who were vehemently opposed to such action back when George W. Bush was president.

According to Brookings Fellow John Hudak, it’s time for the federal government to recognize the serious policy risks born from limiting medical marijuana research. 

In France, the drug market generates an annual sales of € 2.3 billion, equal to 0.117% of GDP, which means that each person spends an average of € 36 for illicit substances. This huge business is dominated by two leading products – marijuana and cocaine – which together account for over 85% of total sales. With a turnover estimated at 55 million, synthetic drugs (MDMA and amphetamines) have, however, the fourth place behind heroin. In contrast to the success they have in other European countries like the Czech Republic,the market of these substances appears to be relatively marginal in France.

The latest developments in Ohio’s general election as voters decide issues including whether to legalize marijuana (all times EST):

Ballot details

Issue 3: The proposed constitutional amendment would allow adults 21 and older to grow, possess and use pot while making it available for medical use. Home-growers would be limited to four flowering marijuana plants and 8 ounces of usable marijuana at a given time for personal use. Pot sold commercially would have to come from 10 authorized growing sites that are already spoken for.

DENVER – Marijuana products delivered to 176 stores in Colorado were recalled for allegedly containing pesticide residue.

Gaia's Gardens, a Denver-based marijuana-infused manufacturing facility, voluntarily recalled potentially unsafe marijuana edibles. According to Denver's Department of Environmental Health, samples of marijuana candy from Gaia's Gardens contained three pesticides that cannot legally be used to grow marijuana in Colorado.

According to the City and County of Denver, the health impact of consuming the pesticides is unknown. They say there are potential short-term and long-term health impacts. So far, there have been no reports of illness.

The Department of Environmental Health asks anyone with recalled products to throw them away or return them.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The only cannabis legalization-related question on any state ballot this year is in Ohio, where voters were deciding Tuesday whether to legalize marijuana for recreational and medical use in a single stroke.

If it passes, Ohio would become the fifth state to legalize recreational marijuana and would hand over exclusive rights in the state’s cannabis-growing business to a limited circle of private investors that include some famous names.

The proposed constitutional amendment, known as Issue 3, would allow adults 21 and older to grow, possess and use pot while making it available for medical use. Ohioans would be able to buy marijuana, pot-infused candies and other related products from potentially 1,100-plus retail stores.
