Industrial H**p can be utilized for a variety of purposes. From clothes to concrete, this plant can do it all. Along with further research into new products, the uses for Industrial H**p are seemingly endless.

However, with an explosion of growth in any industry there are bound to be some issues that pop up along the way. One major issue is the logistics and transportation of H**p.

While federally legalized, regulations between states has been a logistical nightmare for the H**p industry. The Southern H**p Expo will have a presentation on mistakes to avoid when transporting H**p (link in article).

One of the last holdout states is now getting a push for medical ma*****na. Activists in the state of Idaho have submitted a proposal for medical ma*****na to be on the 2024 ballot.

Kind Idaho, the organization behind the push, had submitted their proposal earlier this week. Meanwhile, while CBD is legal in the state of Idaho, only CBD Isolate-based products can be sold.

Due to cannabis's gradual legalization, people are beginning to take their liberties with the plant in some instances. Once instance is getting behind the wheel after consuming cannabis.

In the state of New Jersey, a study was conducted by AAA in response to the state's decriminalization of cannabis. The study found that 95% of people said driving with alcohol in your system is dangerous.

However, 7 out of 10 people who participated said driving with cannabis in your system is dangerous. Given the current nature of this industry, DUI-Cannabis laws are another item on the legal laundry list.

Curaleaf, one of the largest cannabis companies in the United States, is pulling thousands of products off of its' New York store shelves. This is due to a new labeling system that resulted in THC levels being displayed as higher than they actually were.

The Office of Cannabis Management did not grant approval of this switch. This is because "dry weight" cannabis flower has significantly higher THC than "wet weight" cannabis flower. However, the cannabis being sold under "dry weight" was in fact "wet weight"

In 2018, Canada federally legalized cannabis. As a result, both recreational and medical cannabis users can purchase cannabis. Adults may possess up to 30 grams of legally produced cannabis.

While an ever-evolving progress, Canada has embraced cannabis as a potential therapeutic aide to ailment and illness. Conducting research, the quest for more information about this plant continues.

So much so that within the near future the country Canada will be spending ~$200 million on medical cannabis for their veterans.
