Could this be the start of the same cycle in which a cannabis bill gets approved by the house and then dumped by the Senate? Last week, the resilient New Hampshire House again voted to support marijuana legalization. The approved bill permits the personal use and cultivation of marijuana by residents above the age of 21.

The newest cannabinoid and, I must say, "another worthy addition" swaying the market right, left, front, and back is Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC). Rising to prominence after regulations banned the sales and use of Delta-8, this compound has been referred to as an intriguing analog of THC. Whether or not to agree with this description cannot be decided now, as there are several misconceptions about HHC cannabinoids.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock with no WiFi lately, it turns out that Social Media Giants such as Facebook and Twitter are censoring people’s right to speak. Several high profile people have had their twitter accounts suspended and one that has sparked international debate was the account of Dr Robert Malone MD, who was one of the major attributors to the discovery and invention of mRNA vaccines and recently appeared on the wildly popular Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.

Representative Deon Tedder (D-Charleston) has filed a bill to put an end to stop, search, seizure, and arrests based on cannabis scent. South Carolina lawmakers believed that the smell of marijuana alone on a person or within a vehicle does not give law enforcement officers the go-ahead to search a person. Especially in a state like South Carolina with approved legislation for hemp production.

The CBD water market is sinking at a fast rate right now. The questionable product design, the volatile nature of cannabidiol, and the hefty price tags all contributed to this massive downfall. The product has several utilities, but the downsides surrounding it are guaranteed to put people off. This does not mean you should not try the product. If you prefer convenience without worrying about the cost, you can carry on with these products. You would do well to exercise caution by purchasing only the recently produced bottles from licensed dispensaries. For people that care about the impact of this product on their wallets, it is better to avoid CBD water now until the manufacturers are ready to do what's right. For its market to start swimming, CBD water has to live up to its hype.

Israel has been long dominating the cannabis industry in terms of breakthrough research and developing innovative medicinal products to treat the sick. They are light years ahead compared to other countries, and are home to numerous startups that are dedicated to cannabis innovation. Here are some of the latest cannabis news to come out of Israel:

The news broke this week that cannabis can help with fighting COVID-19 and almost the entire non-cannabis world picked up the headline from the Oregon State University study on cannabis and cellular pathways used by the COVID virus to invade the body.  Luckily, almost everyone in the cannabis industry kept a level head and said that no, marijuana does not stop or cure the COVID virus, but it does have potential to help in a few ways. One, it can reduce the spread of the virus by binding with receptors the virus uses to spread throughout the body.  Two, it can reduce the symptoms associated with the virus, since cannabis has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Marijuana, up until the point, cannot cure COVID or keep you from getting the virus.

Cannabis helps control inflammation, which reduces the pain in these patients. The drug has shown no visible side effects in people who have used it, but this doesn't excuse the fact that more research is definitely needed before a person can begin using cannabis as a medication for inflammation.
