Colorado Cannabis Tax Revenue Surpasses Alcohol Tax for the First Time Ever | Cannabis Culture

Alcohol contributed just under $42 million in tax revenue last year, which was actually an increase of 2.4 percent from last year. Cannabis sales contributed nearly $70 million in tax revenue, although this did include revenue from licensing fees, as well as the 10 percent tax on retail sales and the 15 percent excise tax on wholesale cannabis.
The alcohol tax revenue had an increase across the board, in all three tax brackets for the various types of alcohol:

Cannabis for kids seminar in Richmond aims to help parents of kids with autism, epilepsy | Cannabis Culture

VANCOUVER — Kim Turkington’s five-year-old daughter Ella was so heavily medicated for seizures last year, she slept most of the day, her waking hours spent in a deep state of melancholy.
“All day long she said ‘I feel sad.’ Those were the only words that came out of her mouth. And it’s meds. She was a depressed four year old and it was terrible,” said Turkington, who lives in Surrey with her husband and two children.
Ella, who has epilepsy and autism, has failed to respond to seven different types of seizure medication.
Her parents were desperate to try something new, and had been doing a lot of research about cannabis oil, which contains a low amount of THC and high amounts of cannabidiol (CBD), the component believed to reduce seizures.

8-year-old Mia’s seizures are caused by a rare type of epilepsy called Ohtahara syndrome

An Alberta mother whose daughter has severe epilepsy has travelled to St. Catharines, Ont. for a medical marijuana prescription after the girl’s doctor said he was no longer allowed to provide permission to purchase the product.
In 2013, Sandra Wilkinson had started extracting cannabis oil from dried marijuana — purchased from a licensed grower with a prescription from a neurologist at Alberta Children’s Hospital — to prevent life-threatening seizures in her eight-year-old daughter Mia.
But in July, the physician declined to renew the prescription because of a hospital policy based on the position of Alberta Health Services, the provincial health authority, which does not support the use of medical marijuana for pediatric patients with epilepsy.

MediPen: We Tried out the UK’s First Legal Cannabis Vaporiser | Cannabis Culture

Last week I received a vaporiser in the post, weed leaf proudly emblazoned on the front.

This wasn’t a dark web deal though, but a legit product that’s designed as a ‘completely legal and harm free way to unleash the miraculous health benefits of cannabis’.
It’s active ingredient is cannabidiol (CBD), an oil extracted from the cannabis plant that contains little to no THC (the stuff that gets you high, hence the legality) but does purport to deliver medical benefits such as the soothing of anxiety, depression, insomnia and mood disorders.*
