Girl Scouts Set Up Camp Outside MMJ Dispensary In Portland, Oregon

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.

Roughly 50-years ago, only 4% of Americans said that they had tried cannabis. In the 1970s, roughly 20% of Americans had smoked marijuana. In the 1980s it raised to 30% and by 2015 it hit 40%. It needs to be clarified “have tried” doesn’t mean “is currently consuming”. It simply means that at some point in their lives – probably more recently – have they tried cannabis.

In 2020, a study conducted by researchers from The Center for Applied Health Sciences in Ohio, together with the Lindenwood University in Missouri, aimed to explore “the effects of a commercially available, GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by independent conclusion, CBD-containing hemp oil extract on stress resilience, perceived recovery, mood, affect, body composition, and clinical safety markers in healthy human subjects.”
