Sunday Weed: Weekly Digest, Number Ninety-Nine

It was quite a week! 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. Everybody Loves Weed, Midterms Suggest

During a bitterly divided election, red states and blue states both embraced cannabis measures.

2. Canada: officials urge action to keep edible marijuana away from children

Following a sharp increase in cannabis poisoning among young people, Canadian health professionals are calling for tighter controls to keep edible marijuana products away from minors.

3. After legalization, Canada is running low on weed

Don’t plan your Canadian reboot of Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke quite yet, because the country is running low on pot. In an age-old tale told by Economics 101 professors since time began, Canada’s legalization of weed caused demand to swell and supplies to dwindle.

4. What We Learned From These Elections: Weed Debrief

First things first: America wants legalization.

5. Marijuana in the groove for investors and drinks companies

M&A flurry sees groups vying for position in North America’s explosive cannabis industry.

6. THC! CBD! TERPENOIDS! Cannabis science is getting hairy

Today, cannabis continues its slow march toward nationwide decriminalization with voters deciding whether to allow recreational use in Michigan and North Dakota, and for medical purposes in Utah and Missouri. As states keep chipping away at federal prohibition, more consumers will gain access, sure—but so will more researchers who can more easily study this astonishingly complex and still mysterious plant.

7. I used to judge parents who used weed. Then I tried it.

I’m stressed. Revelatory, right? What parent isn’t stressed in 2018? The ’80s and ’90s parenting villages that once lovingly ushered child-minding from one home to another have been replaced with judgmental articles about gluten and screen time.
