My name is Anne Fred and, apart from blogging, I grow marijuana in Monterey. But sadly I am fast becoming part of a dying breed of small-time farmers who are being squeezed out of the market by high-flying corporates with flashy bank accounts and even flashier high-tech greenhouses. My modest farm is situated in the Big Sur where I have been growing “holy weed” for many years. Like me, other small-time growers in this region are battling to finance the crippling costs of licensing in the face of corporate clout. Well, they may be able to curb by farming activities but they can never stop me from writing about all-things marijuana.

Florida has a very complex set of rules when it comes to marijuana legalization. And some might argue that the rules and requirements laid down in Florida are far more stringent than in other states. An example of this is that in Florida, while medical marijuana is legal, patients are not permitted to cultivate their own crop. This might seem somewhat counterintuitive. But patients have to go to medical dispensaries to get their supply of medical marijuana, and these dispensaries only work with select approved companies. The whole process of…

The interactions of marijuana in the body has always been complex. While it is always possible to generate theories, exact measurements have always been beyond the boundaries of speculation. Because the body is a complex system and it is nearly impossible to judge how it will react to the introduction of a foreign substance. Even one that is quite friendly to the human body, such as THC. Most people take marijuana to relax and destress. And the psychoactive compound that does this is THC, along with CBD. The Marijuana Relaxation…

There are many studies currently underway with regard to the implications of legalized marijuana.

Crime levels went up in the immediate aftermath of the closure of medical marijuana dispensaries. This is an important finding in the wake on ongoing marijuana legalization and goes contrary to popular belief that there is an association between marijuana and crime. The myth that marijuana leads to an increase in crime is being revealed as no more than…

August 4, 2017 Anne Fred

Medical marijuana is currently legal in 29 US States. When a state permits medical marijuana, it is up to local counties to then implement their own subset of rules and regulations in terms of medical marijuana usage. Because of this, the exact procedures for applying for a medical marijuana permit may differ from state to state and from county to county. The difference between a medical marijuana card and a medical marijuana permit is that a card allows you to obtain marijuana from a dispensary. A medical marijuana permit allows…

August 2, 2017August 4, 2017 Anne Fred

Marijuana Legalization With marijuana legalization on the rise, the demand for marijuana and marijuana related products is set to increase. Researchers estimate that the current marijuana market is in the region of $50 Billion, with the majority of this figure taken up by black market sales. The legalization of marijuana will no doubt shift most if not all of the black market sales over to legitimate industries. The benefits of marijuana are well backed up by scientific literature, and marijuana can help with the treatment of conditions including arthritis, insomnia,…
