Anne Fred

It may be fine to fly high but make sure that you don’t come crashing down to earth! It’s summer vacation time and now that recreational marijuana is legal in several U.S. states, thousands of holidaymakers are asking whether or not they can travel with marijuana either in the air or on the road.

The Link Between Marijuana and Lung Disease

Anne Fred

Marijuana is still being researched by scientists and the American Lung Association is encouraging consumers to consume cannabis by any means other than smoking a joint.

Anne Fred

During the Obama administration, when Congress hurriedly shoved 85 words into an enormous budget bill, it appeared an afterthought, as if policymakers simply wanted to recognize that America’s perception of marijuana had changed, but without making any fuss over it.

The Rohrabacher-Farr amendment gave millions the freedom to openly consume marijuana and participate in its production without fear of persecution or prosecution from the federal government.

Anne Fred

Last November, voters in Maine legalized marijuana by a narrow margin. Ever since, state lawmakers have been busily drafting rules to regulate a legal cannabis industry. However, they are proving highly creative. Now, they are discussing the rarest idea of all: Customers in Maine will be able to purchase marijuana at drive-up windows.   Currently, only eight states permit the sale of recreational cannabis for legal adults, with some not in effect yet. Drive-through sales, however, are only permissible in Colorado and Oregon. California, which will begin sales next year,…
