Eight out of 10 families, directly affected by drug addiction favour decriminalisation of drug possession, a survey indicates.

Experts are mulling over the future of medical marijuana dispensaries.

Dispensaries, designed to help people gain access to medical marijuana more easily, have been controversial in many parts of the country.

On Thursday, Saskatoon Police arrested four people connected to the Saskatchewan Compassion Club, charging them with drug trafficking.

Since the incoming Liberal government has promised to legalize and regulate the recreational use of marijuana, the question of how the new government will handle dispensaries has become top of mind.

We've heard a lot about the economic impact Issue 3 promises, along with the medical benefits many believe marijuana possesses, but there are many who still aren't sold on it and doubt its potential benefits are enough to justify legalization.

There have been promises of millions in revenue that will do everything from fund fire departments to filling potholes. The other side says it's the promises that are full of holes, starting with job creation and the monopoly Issue 3 would create for marijuana growers.

Three men have been hospitalised in London after they took the legal high known as "Spice" that can be up to 100 times more potent than cannabis. Two of the men in Peckham, south London, had seizures after they allegedly took the drug. A third man is in a critical condition.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who may have been offered the drug and would advise anyone who has taken it to seek medical attention.

Met Police officers were called to Staffordshire Street at 9:40pm on Thursday (29 October) to reports of a man believed to be having a fit. He informed officers that he had taken the drug after being offered it for free on the street. The man, who is aged in his late 20s, was taken by the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to a south London hospital.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — As Mexico's top court prepares to consider arguments that could open the door to the recreational use of marijuana, some families are hoping such a step could help make medicinal marijuana more accessible.

The parents of 8-year-old Graciela Elizalde of Monterrey have already seen a difference in their daughter since she began taking a marijuana extract recently. A federal judge gave them permission to import the marijuana oil.

DENVER (AP) — The only statewide ballot question in Colorado next week seems like a no-brainer: Should the state keep $66 million in marijuana taxes it has already collected to spend on schools and drug-abuse prevention?

The measure arose from an accounting error two years ago, when the taxes were first approved. And it has broad support, from Democrats, Republicans, the marijuana industry and nearly every newspaper in the state.

Canada’s Liberal Party victory for cannabis means that legalization is all but a sure thing. We sat down with Jodie Emery, known as the "Pot Princess of Vancouver," who runs Cannabis Culturewith her husband Mark, to discuss what the future holds for cannabis in Canada, as well as what’s in store for Cannabis Culture.
