Sunday Weed: Weekly Digest, Number One Hundred

It’s Sunday, and it means that it’s time to relax and recharge your batteries. Hope you’re having some good rest and take your time with friends and family. To make your weekend even better, we gathered the latest weed news around the web. Enjoy your read!

1. Marijuana is getting cheaper. For some states, that’s a problem.

Wholesale marijuana prices in Colorado have fallen by a third in just the past 12 months, continuing a price crash that began soon after the drug was legalized. Although this implies that some marijuana entrepreneurs are going to go bankrupt, the bigger financial hit will be felt by states that tax marijuana based on its price.

2. The case against marijuana legalization

Opponents of legalization worry that fully allowing recreational marijuana use would make pot far too accessible and, as a result, expand its use and misuse.

3. This is what a cannabis executive’s party pad looks like

Don’t expect to find bongs, water pipes and empty packets of Funyuns at the Los Angeles-area home of Will Htun.

4. Weed and Pregnancy: How Cannabis Laws Are Hurting Mothers

It remains unclear how marijuana use by a pregnant woman could affect her unborn child, but there’s one thing for certain: It could mean having her family broken apart.

5. Why weed companies are experimenting with terpenes

Chicken and waffles. Moscow Mule. Gingerbread cookies. Plum.
Joe Edwards says he’s made cannabis flower taste like all of the above and then some, using a high-tech curing unit produced by Colorado startup Yofumo.

6. Tech is coming for the weed industry

Now that cannabis is big business, entrepreneurs are eager to bring tech to the weed industry, which means that cannabis is on the blockchain and machine learning has come for marijuana cultivation.

7. Weed May Play a Role in Weight Loss

Studies have shown that cannabis users are less obese than nonusers. Scientists are trying to figure out why.
