Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Cannabis and sex go together like peanut butter and jelly...flavored lube. Surely you’ve mixed the two before, but while you were bumping uglies, stoned and sensationally sensitive, did you ever stop to think about how cannabis plants procreate?
 (Going half on some seeds is what it’s about for them, not getting a glorious nut off at least according to the weed we’ve spoken to.) Whether or not you’ve pondered cannabis coitus, MERRY JANE has the lowdown on how it goes down. Watch the latest episode of our original series “Journey Into Weed” to see the differences between male and female plants, how a single male can impregnate a whole field of females, how you can beat the seed out of males (ouch), and what causes marijuana to become hermaphroditic. And unlike the sex vids you usually watch at work, it’s (mostly) SFW.

Weed Magazine High Times Goes Public

Weed Magazine High Times Goes Public but ditches IPO

Weed Magazine
The 43-year-old marijuana media brand High Times has found a shortcut to going public: It sold itself to an already public shell company, of which High Times share holders then got an 83 percent stake.

After private equity firm Oreva Capital bought a controlling stake in the publisher last month, they went and sold High Times to an already public special-purpose acquisition company, Origo. Oreva had valued the company at $70 million, but the new transaction valued it at more than triple that, with the company expecting a market cap of $250 million. High Times shareholders will have an 83 percent stake, whereas the Origo SPAC will own 17 percent. It seems there are high hopes for High Times to become a massive media empire as marijuana becomes legal in more states.
High Times’ business includes its long-running print magazine, a popular online destination for cannabis news and its weed-growing competition event series, the Cannabis Cup. But as weed goes legal and dispensaries replace street dealers, High Times’ site could become a Yelp for where to buy pot. That could earn it fat referral fees or ad sales from dispensaries seeking new stoners.

There are already serious competitors in the dispensary directory business, like WeedMaps and Leafly. But High Times claims to receive massive inbound traffic from its position as the most well-known brand in weed.
Skipping the glitzy initial public offering is not the standard route to going public, but it’s been done before. Origo, the entity that bought High Times, was designed specifically for this purpose. After the transaction closes, likely in October, High Times will be a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq. This process allows them to avoid some of the SEC registration procedures and perhaps some extra scrutiny related to the nature of their business.

Soon, believers in the “green rush” of marijuana-related businesses will have a publicly traded company they can invest in. If High Times can evolve from a culture publication to an e-commerce portal, it could grow into a potent part of the budding cannabis industry.

Cannabis Dispensary Raids Harmful to Your Health

Cannabis Dispensary Raids Will Cause More Death 

Cannabis Dispensary Raids
Cannabis Dispensary Raids Harmful to Your Health
A major study in 2015 found that states with legal cannabis dispensaries had up to 31% lower rate of deaths from prescription opioid overdoses. Researchers noted that the longer the legal cannabis dispensaries were in place, the more the rate of opioid-related problems declined.

This makes sense because cannabis is often used as a pain reliever, just like opioids are. When people have easy access to a safer pain-reliever, cannabis, they are less likely to use the riskier one, opioids.

What they are working with the C.I.A and stepping on the Canadian Cartels toes
Prominent marijuana activists Marc and Jodie Emery who own the Cannabis Culture brand were granted bail Friday after their arrest on Wednesday.
Marc Emery faces 15 charges, including conspiracy to commit an indictable offense, trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime, while Jodie Emery faces five similar counts.

Officers seized $250,000 in cash in several currencies, 65 kilograms of marijuana and 2.4 kilograms of cannabis extract and other drug paraphernalia after searching seven Cannabis Culture stores and several homes on Thursday, police said.
Given the amount of marijuana, the stores “can only be supplied by illegitimate sources often tied to organized crime,” "ya fucken nature" acting Insp. Steve Watts alleged.
“The public should know that this isn’t an altruistic venture, this is purely a profit-motivated venture,” Watts said. “Anyone with a prescription for marijuana can go through Health Canada, who have an abundant supply.” ya I'm sure And still a profit-motivated venture
