Study Finds Inhaled Cannabis Helps Treat Restless Legs Syndrome

If you suffer from restless legs syndrome, or know of someone that does, then you likely know exactly how uncomfortable and frustrating the condition can be to live with.

Restless legs syndrome can vary from light symptoms that are fairly easy to endure, all the way to symptoms that can be debilitating to sufferers in some cases.

People that suffer from this syndrome often spend countless hours trying to fall asleep at night, and for some individuals, the condition can flare up during the day too.

The 10 Largest Marijuana Stocks in 2020

Last year was supposed to be when marijuana stocks proved their worth to Wall Street by translating substantial sales growth into recurring profits. Unfortunately for these companies, and their investors, it didn't work out as planned. Supply issues throughout Canada and high tax rates in a number of legalized U.S. states dumped fuel on the fire that's allowed the black market to thrive.

5 Marijuana Stocks With the Most Cash in 2020

It's pretty safe to say that last year did not go as planned for a majority of marijuana stock investors.
