Catering to consumers who use marijuana as medicine
Omar Sacirbey, MJBizDaily - 4 days ago
Medical marijuana isn’t exclusive to MMJ dispensaries. It’s true that consumers with serious health problems are more likely to shop at dispensaries than adult-use retailers in order to access more potent products, higher purchasing limits and low to no taxes on medical marijuana.

While physicians see patients benefiting from cannabis, national medical associations remain unconvinced

Experts point to breeding and extraction as ways to capture minor cannabinoids
Bart Schaneman, MJBizDaily - 4 days ago
As minor cannabinoids gain popularity and acceptance among cannabis consumers, extraction companies looking to cash in on the trend can approach creating them in several ways.

From Pfizer to PharmaCann: Bringing Big Pharma expertise to cannabis

Yesterday I saw the hawk chasing a heron that was 10x its size--probably protecting her babies or eggs. A mother robin has chased away our nesting doves near the front door, and stolen their nest.
