Brand Spanking New

Whoa nelly(!) This is some Grade-A marketing right here. There is a trifecta of talent behind this line of cannabis goods for the Arizona market. With a wide range of products for a variety of consumers this ticks every box. I mean just look at it - SO pretty.

Bad Boys, Bad Boys

Two rookies from the Flowood Police Department were recently charged with possession of cannabis and pot paraphernalia. Big deal? Bearing in mind this was Mississippi, uh, yeah. But given that no one would have batted an eye, had it been in, say Oregon, we’re led back to the argument that it’d easier for all if cannabis was legal everywhere. Police included.

Apparently, over a third of programmers (in a recent survey at least) smoke, or have smoked, weed while coding. A great way to get creative, for sure; but the survey also revealed that the programmers enjoyed the coding more while under the influence. Just goes to show: if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.

A Brown University researcher has recently used machine learning to understand what types of posts about marijuana actually influenced legislative trends. Ok, that’s actually pretty cool, thanks robots. Keep this up and you can take over the world anytime.
