Dutch Donation

The Dutch government has committed to donating $1.5 million to the UMC Utrecht Brain Center. Researchers will use the money to launch a four-year research project delving into the effects of high-CBD oil in children living with severe epilepsy. Nice work Netherlands!

Flyin' High

We’ll always be the first to point fingers at crappy regs and poorly designed legislation, but thankfully, weed finds a way. A perfect example of this is the fact that the US Air Force has relaxed some of its pre-vetting criteria around cannabis.

That's Not Us

Your favourite toy franchise might seem all fun and games, but they’re also pretty keen to protect their brand, which is fair enough. This week, they’ve been fighting off a Brooklyn bud shop called Zaza R Us. Backward R’s, it seems, are serious business.

The first New Zealand cannabis has officially reached the UK shores for the first time. Cantourage UK, in partnership with New Zealand’s CannFx, are trying to drive more great weed into the UK’s medical market. Good tings(!).

Monta'nahhhhh

Think handing $300 million over to the black market is a good idea? We don’t. But what we think doesn’t matter. Unfortunately, it’s a reality for proponents of legal cannabis in Montana, which is under threat from legislative repeals that would send weed back underground.
