They’re smoking and drinking much stronger stuff in Toronto at Queen’s Park in contrast to the stuff we’ve got down here in Windsor.

Or it at least seems that way when you read over their latest assault on medical marijuana users’ rights.

How else do you explain reclassifying medical marijuana to place it in the Smoke Free Ontario Act and to refuse the combustion and vaping of it in all places cigarettes and e-cigarettes are banned.

In a span of just a few months, the province went from publicly stating medical marijuana users’ rights would be extended to allow for vaping in all public spaces to a total prohibition.

The tour hasn’t officially started and it’s already generating controversy.

Marijuana activist Dana Larsen of Vancouver launches his cross-country tour today with his first stop in Kelowna.

Larsen is asking Canadians to ‘overgrow’ their cities with pot plants.

He’s giving away more than one million cannabis seeds to anyone who agrees to plant them either on private or public property.

“I want cannabis to be growing so openly and so commonly that the police just don’t bother arresting anybody for it anymore.”

Larsen admits he’s advocating civil disobedience in the push to have marijuana legalized in Canada.

Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company" or "Supreme") (CSE:SL) (OTC PINK:SPRWF) is pleased to announce it has established a strategic alliance (the "Strategic Alliance") with top international cannabis seed developer Dinafem Seeds ("Dinafem") based in San Sebastian, Spain. Since 2002, Dinafem has been a global leader in the innovation and standardization of cannabis genetics including pioneering many feminized and auto-flowering varieties. 

In the past, whenever marijuana was mentioned, the first thing that popped into most people’s mind is the adverse health effects associated with smoking pot. However, this perception is quickly changing owing to the numerous scientific studies which show that marijuana has some medicinal properties. The findings of these studies have also significantly contributed to the legalization of medical marijuana in several countries around the world.

Facebook has a huge spam problem across their most popular cannabis-related pages and groups. It comes on two fronts. 

First, every post from any major cannabis-related page will get a dozen spam comments offering to sell cannabis and often other drugs. The accounts they come from are obviously fake when you check them out, and all they do is post offers for weed sales.

While Canada engages in complex dialogue about how best to regulate the sale of cannabis for adult use, tens of thousands of Canadians are currently authorized to use cannabis to treat a variety of symptoms and medical conditions. They have obtained this authorization from a physician or nurse practitioner, the only way they can use it legally under current regulations.

Biofuel The impacts of climate change on our fragile planet are both increasingly obvious and increasingly disastrous. Fossil fuels are unquestionably one of the biggest contributors; the race to find a sustainable substitute for these finite and ever-diminishing resources is on. Biofuel is one of the suggestions, but how viable is it? And is hemp the best biofuel?

Not long ago, you 100 percent had to 'know a guy,' or a girl, in order to find work in the marijuana industry. Then, you had to watch patiently and do a lot of internet research, often under furtive, less-than-ideal conditions , before starting to actually make money. 

But with 23 states and the District of Columbia legalizing marijuana in some form, and Canada poised to follow suit, the sketchy dealings formerly required to get a gig are as passé as the stigma around marijuana use. Working in the cannabis industry is increasingly like working anywhere else - and that includes the tedium of trawling through job postings.

Over the last two years, medical cannabis has exploded onto the international radar. Canada’s adoption of marijuana for medical purposes regulations (MMPR) and creation of a legal, medical cannabis industry is at the forefront of a complex global discussion.

With the imminent legalization of marijuana for recreational use and increasing demand for medicinal cannabis, commercial grower Tweed is more than doubling its production space in Smiths Falls — and its sister company Tweed Farms was approved Thursday to sell product through its Niagra-On-The-Lake location.

Bruce Linton, chief executive of Canopy Growth Corporation, a $260-million publicly traded company with Tweed, Tweed Farms Inc. and Bedrocan under its umbrella, called the company’s newly-acquired licence a “major milestone” that gives it the green light to produce medical marijuana in what might be — at 350,000 square feet — Canada’s largest greenhouse.
