From tinctures to edibles to capsules, oils, vape cartridges, and even flower, cannabidiol (CBD) products come in a dizzying array of forms, each with individual consumption methods.

Who doesn’t want perfect skin? There is a reason why the skincare market was worth around $135 billion in 2018. People are willing to spend big bucks on the latest trends in the cosmetics industry, and lately, there hasn’t been a bigger and hotter trend than CBD skin care accessories and products. 

From creams, salves, tinctures, and lotions to body bars and soaps, there is an endless array of beauty products that include CBD as one of the main ingredients. But what is CBD actually good for and what skin conditions does it treat? Is there scientific evidence to back up claims of cannabidiol being a “miracle cure” for skin disorders?

Nothing can replace the rejuvenated feeling from a good night’s sleep. Your physical and mental health is directly related to the quality of your sleep. Sadly, more than 50 million people in the U.S. suffer from sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and more. 

Ever since the legalization of cannabis, more and more people have turned to medical marijuana to treat insomnia. While cannabis therapy seems to be working wonders for insomnia, one wonders how effective cannabis can be in treating other sleep disorders. 

Over the past year, we have seen some shifts in the market that has impacted marijuana stocks. The majority of these changes have been political. Given that the cannabis industry as a whole is based on the changing politics around the world, staying up to date on current events is an important factor. In order for the cannabis industry to continue to flourish in the upcoming years, it seems as though we need to see some large scale legal changes echo throughout the market. In places such as the U.S., we are still waiting on national legalization of marijuana.

Last week, researchers from the University of Salento in Italy discovered two new cannabinoids. The compounds have been deemed tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) and cannabidiphorol (CBDP). What’s interesting about THCP is that it is apparently 30 times stronger than THC. However, nobody is yet to understand what this really means in the grand scheme of cannabis science. The only thing the ganja geeks can say for sure is that this new compound appears to be more prevalent than THC when given to mice. They also believe the presence of THCP could be what provides cannabis strains with varying effects.

There's no denying that marijuana stock investors were thrilled to see 2019 come to a close. After beginning with epic first-quarter gains, which saw more than a dozen pot stocks rise by at least 70%, cannabis stocks have since been stuck in a nine-month freefall.

Anxiety is a condition that has kept many people from enjoying the medical benefits of cannabis. There are two spectrums when it comes to cannabis and anxiety. Even though many people use cannabis to relieve stress, there are people that suffer from anxiety who can end up panicking after consuming high levels of THC.

However, cannabis has also been used to treat pre-existing anxiety. It all depends on the type of cannabis used, the potency and dosage. We’ll go over the various ways cannabis can influence anxiety.

The infamous munchies are a result of several separate mechanisms that band together in unison to invoke cannabis-induced famine.

One of these mechanisms is responsible for making everything smell tastier, another makes us crave candy and junk food, and these two separate processes trick us into being hungry even if we’re full.

This is a pretty complex topic, but I’m sure many of you would like to know more, so I’ll try to break it up into interesting, easy-to-understand sections.

The Olfactory Bulb

The real challenge to reduce crime associated with marijuana is federal legalization and more aggressive law enforcement to eliminate the black market, which flourishes in part because of high taxes on legalized marijuana products.

Marijuana advocates like to say that legalization generally means a decrease in crime wherever it is legalized. But that assertion is difficult to prove.

One study found that while marijuana use can increase the likelihood of violent and property crimes, marijuana use may also diminish a user’s violent tendencies.
