OCS CEO Out to Lunch 

June 2, 2023 Published by

The Ontario Cannabis Store‘s (OCS) CEO is out to lunch. It’s a common theme in Canada lately. A new poll shows a vast majority of Canadians are concerned with Chinese interference in our elections. So what does the government of the day do? They hire a family friend – former Governor General David Johnston – with connections to China and the Trudeau Foundation. He “investigated” the interference and found nothing. Parliament was obviously unhappy with this result, no doubt stemming […]

Cannabis Use Disorder Linked to Depression: Study

May 30, 2023 Published by

Researchers have linked cannabis use disorder to depression and bipolar disorder, according to a new study. However, this observational study which used data from Danish individuals, hasn’t established cause and effect. The researchers (and its media parrots) say they have found a nearly two-fold increased risk of depression and a three-fold increased risk of bipolar disorder. They blame “cannabis use disorder.” The researcher wrote, “evidence suggests that use of cannabis may be associated with increased risk of developing psychiatric disorders.” […]

Competition Bureau: Higher THC Limits

May 29, 2023 Published by

Competition Bureau to Health Canada: increase THC limits. That’s what the ironically named “Competition Bureau” is recommending to Health Canada and the “Expert Panel” in charge of the legislative review. (The head of this “Expert Panel” is the author of one of Trudeau’s white-washed election reports, casting doubts on the effectiveness of the Cannabis Act review process). The Bureau’s report states the obvious: increase consumer choice and displace the black market. The Competition Bureau’s call for higher THC limits and […]

Basic Cannabis Economics

May 26, 2023 Published by

Basic cannabis economics. Wherever you find reefer madness, a poor grasp of basic cannabis economics is right behind it. For example, public health busybodies demand THC limits. As if adults choosing high-THC strains of cannabis will simply shift their demand to lower-THC strains once public health tells them what their preferences should be. Most, if not all, government workers lack an understanding of basic economics and, therefore, basic cannabis economics. So let’s clear up some misconceptions. First, let’s start with […]

Cannabis Sending Pregnant Women to Hospital: Study

May 25, 2023 Published by

Cannabis is sending twice as many pregnant “people” to the hospital, says a new study on cannabis use during pregnancy published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. (And yes, the study calls pregnant women “people” in an attempt to be “inclusive” by insulting women and rejecting biological facts.) The researchers looked at over 950,000 pregnancies between January 2015 and July 2021. They found the rate of ER and hospital visits related to cannabis use during pregnancy doubled. Ergo, legalization has […]

Rosenberg’s Cannabis Act Review 

May 24, 2023 Published by

Morris Rosenberg’s Cannabis Act review will likely fail. Canada’s Cannabis Act is undergoing an “Expert Panel” review per the legislation. The idea was that after three years, the government would return to the cannabis legalization file and grade it. Of course, it’s been over four years. And cannabis producers need immediate relief. Not another bureaucratic task force to create busy work. Morris Rosenberg, a lawyer and long-time career bureaucrat, heads the Cannabis Act Review. Many in Canada’s cannabis business community […]

May 23, 2023 Published by

What are three signs of reduced cannabis stigma? Don’t get us wrong – cannabis stigma is still alive and well. But in the past week, we’ve encountered three new stories that indicate the needle is moving in the right direction. From British Columbia declaring that cannabis retail shops don’t have to cover their windows to Switzerland expanding their legal cannabis pilot. Progress may be coming at a snail’s pace, but it’s something. What is Cannabis Stigma? We can’t identify reduced […]

Ten Reasons to Ignore the FDA and Try CBD

May 18, 2023 Published by

There are at least ten reasons to ignore the FDA and try CBD. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration published a study this week suggesting that long-term use of CBD leads to liver toxicity and reproductive issues in males and females. They used animal studies to support their conclusions. But what about studies done on human beings showing CBD’s benefits? Here are ten reasons to ignore the biased FDA and try non-toxic CBD. Ten Reasons to Ignore the FDA and […]

Is CBD Toxic?

May 17, 2023 Published by

Is CBD Toxic? The answer is apparent, right? When even the World Health Organization calls CBD “safe and tolerable,” it’s clear CBD is fine. It’s the one cannabinoid that public health hasn’t been able to demonize. Yet. Food and Drug Administration officials published a review study on CBD. They claim their findings show “potential hazards associated with oral exposure to CBD.” They also claim “no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work […]
