legalization

The Mexican Supreme Court recently ruled that the prohibition of cannabis is unconstitutional, so Claire Bernish of Anti-Media joined us for a little pot talk.

The Mexican Supreme Court ruled that cannabis prohibition “violates the right to free development of one’s personality,”The post Mexican Supreme Court Rules Prohibition of Cannabis Unconstitutional appeared first on The Anti-Media.

US Senator Elizabeth Warren seems to be changing her tune about marijuana legalization – an issue that is expected to be front and center in the upcoming elections. She recently told the Boston Globe that she is “open” to the legalization of both medical and recreational marijuana. She was opposed to it just three years ago.

The legalization of marijuana for both medicinal and recreational purposes has crossed political lines. ‘Republican voters’ (among many other individuals) are now making it very clear that they have had enough of the Feds tinkering with state marijuana laws.

Just over a year after Colorado started selling marijuana in licensed dispensaries, they are seeing more customers than ever, but according to Nicholas Colas and his team at Convergex, a global brokerage company based in New York, Colorado citizens aren’t paying as much for their marijuana nowadays.
After interviewing several stores in Colorado, Colas found that prices are declining faster than some anticipated. Is there too much supply and not enough demand, or are there other factors at play here?

Is marijuana legalization throughout the US about to actually happen? It seems with the action on Capitol Hill lately, that the war on the vilified plant is about to finally cease.

Several Illinois youths considered ‘at risk’ could be looking at a new career in the medical marijuana industry due to a generous donation to the city of Bloomington by Curative Health, Inc. – a medical marijuana corporation based in New York.
In case you’re wondering here is what ‘at-risk’ youth means:

It looks like Obama might be addressing the question of federal pot reform – FINALLY – after skirting the issue practically since his inauguration.

How  long will it be until the United States government recognizes cannabis as a medicinal, useful plant, and not just an abused drug? You’d be interested to know that states aren’t the only ones accepting cannabis in various forms – the  U.S. government is actually closer than ever to legalizing the plant. In fact, a group of bipartisan legislators have recently made an effort to propel medical marijuana to the top, legalizing the plant for medicinal purposes and protecting those working with it from federal consequences.

It is an undisputed fact that marijuana prohibition is losing traction at record speeds. If the influx of decriminalization, medical legalization, and recreational legalization bills tells us anything, it’s that the population is beginning to truly accept and even desire marijuana legalization. Now, a new ‘gold standard’ survey tells us that this notion is in fact true – finding that a majority of Americans support the legalization of marijuana for the first time in recent history.
