The Vape Report

On a recent Joe Rogan podcast, guest Hamilton Morris, host of Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia, a show that deals with the history, chemistry and culture of psychoactive drugs – Joe and Hamilton spoke about “justification of consumption.” What this refers to is the social need to explain why you do a particular thing. For example, “I smoke weed because of anxiety or insomnia.” While this may be true for whoever utilizes this argument as a justification for consuming cannabis, Hamilton reminds us that it’s also not necessary. Cannabis consumption it is about human rights, it’s about the individual’s right to choose what […]

Just how far can we go with CBD products? Yes, we have cannabis skincare, drugs, gummies, vapes, oils, etc. But have you ever heard of CBD water? If you haven’t, you are in for a treat because in this article I’ll be drilling down on a critical question: what is CBD water? Read on! A closer look at CBD Water CBD refers to a chemical compound in the cannabis plant, and unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), this compound isn’t psychoactive. The compound not being psychoactive means it doesn’t provide the same kind of high you will experience by consuming THC.  Through the […]

The only things certain in life are death and taxes, they say. And that applies to the cannabis industry too. Certainly no one looks forward to having to pay an extra fee for taxes, but that’s just part of life. And these days, people are shocked at just how much they have to pay in retail cannabis taxes. However, we can’t do much since the state determines how much taxes we pay with each pre-roll, flower, or edible that we buy at dispensaries. States determine the tax frameworks in their area, which may sometimes be offset by retailers thus a […]

Last year we didn’t hear the end of the concept of “fake news”. Of course, those were “Trumpier-times” and the media needed to create a narrative of distrust within itself in order to disqualify the opposition’s points of view. Fake News also became an issue for tech companies, as they didn’t want to “perpetuate the spreading of misinformation”. Yet, this isn’t entirely true since they also went out of their way to censor cannabis brands over the years, stifling the narrative and bending it closer to their reality. While benefits about cannabis are being suppressed for “violating the terms of […]

One year into the pandemic, and we’re only just about to start seeing a glimmer of hope with the vaccine rollout. So how has the last year been? For some industries, COVID-19 shattered their businesses but the pandemic was kind to the cannabis industry. All over the United States, sales of legal cannabis jumped 46%, reaching record-breaking sales of $17.5 billion. A majority of the sales were in adult-use markets, particularly Colorado which is among the more mature markets. They saw a 26% increase in growth, resulting in $2.2 billion in sales, while Oregon saw a 29% increase resulting in […]

The importance of effective insurance policies in the health and medical sector can’t be stressed enough. Nobody decides to fall ill or get hurt (we all don’t want to), but you will need health and medical insurance to cover the high cost of treatment and medical supplies in case  you do. More so, as a patient, you want to ensure that you are protected as you use certain medical products, but how does this all play out in Europe? How do European health insurance sectors handle the concept of cannabis prescriptions? Is it possible for someone to get reimbursed after […]
