California Wakes Up On November 9, 2016

The delicious aroma of cannabis can be an important factor, but it doesn’t define everything. For some consumers, discretion and privacy can be even more important, especially for those who prefer to smoke good old cannabis flower. Thankfully, with low-odor cannabis strains available, and perhaps the growth of odorless weed in the future, we’ll have more options than ever for medicating without having to announce to people through the smell!

Minnesota's Department of Health just released the latest results of its triennial Minnesota Student Survey, and the headline reads like a prohibitionist's nightmare: there has been a 57.7 percent statewide drop in self-reported past-year cannabis use from 2013 to 2025 among 8th, 9th, and 11th graders combined. "96 percent of students report not having used cannabis in the last month," the department said in its release. Gov. Tim Walz legalized adult-use cannabis in 2023, making this the first survey cycle conducted since the state ended prohibition.

Once again, this seems to indicate that there is no solid lock on whether or not redheads require more cannabis or less to achieve the same level of high. Perhaps the color of one’s hair has nothing to do with it. Perhaps, we are exposing cannabis to a wider population of consumers and we’re finding that certain genetics could make you impervious to the highs of certain drugs.
