Former NFL player Kyle Turley believes CBD can prevent and cure coronavirus—and he's not backing down on that clinically unsubstantiated claim despite pushback from marijuana legalization supporters and prohibitionists alike. In fact, he accused those advocates of cowardice, alleging in an interview with Marijuana Moment that they're afraid of the consequences of spreading what he claims is the “truth” about cannabis. He also said he would welcome Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforcement against his CBD company over these COVID-19 claims and would use such an action as an opportunity to expose the government for covering up the medical potential of the plant. In a series of tweets in recent weeks, Turley has repeatedly hawked CBD products, arguing that because the compound interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which plays some role in regulating the immune system, they can be used to prevent and cure coronavirus. He says he's basing that take on anecdotal...

For the first time, people in Colorado will be able to legally have marijuana products delivered directly to their homes starting on Friday. The launch of the limited program focused on medical cannabis patients comes one week after the dispensary chain Native Roots  announced that its Boulder location The Dandelion had received the state's first marijuana delivery license . And while the license wasn't related to the coronavirus outbreak, the timing is opportune, as officials have increasingly cautioned against leaving home to avoid catching or spreading the virus. The delivery service will be limited to patients living in either Boulder or Superior. They must also be registered with the dispensary, and those who are not already signed up must do so in-person for the time being—though Native Roots said it is “looking into a compliant, remote solution for patient registration.” Native Roots said there is a $100 minimum purchase, and they're encouraging patients ...

Federal prosecutions for marijuana trafficking declined again in 2019, and drug possession cases overall saw an even more dramatic decline, according to a new report published by the U.S. Sentencing Commission on Monday. While drug cases still represent the second most common category of crimes in the federal criminal justice system, the data indicates that the bulk of those instances are related to methamphetamine trafficking, which has steadily increased over the past decade. But for marijuana, a different kind of trend has emerged. As more states have moved to legalize cannabis,  federal prosecutions have consistently declined since 2012 . To illustrate the shift, marijuana trafficking cases represented the most common drug type that was pursued in 2012, with about 7,000 cases. As of fiscal year 2019, those cases are now the second least common, with fewer than 2,000 cases. Notably, the year of that peak, 2012, was when Colorado and Washington State became the first ...

(5) Pineapple Express And then there were two: OG Kush and Pineapple Express .  There really couldn't be two better representatives of the current weed culture. One is thought to be responsible for the co-evolution of West Coast weed and rap in the 90s . The other serves as the macguffin to what is widely considered the best stoner film of the 2000s . Both have done quite a bit to put weed into the mainstream and have each benefited from the exposure. Given their popularity and place deep within the culture of cannabis, it's really no surprise to find them ...
