The recall is Advanced Medical Alternatives’ second in eight days — and the 13th recall issued by the city of Denver’s Department of Environmental Health in 13 weeks

Denver marijuana business Advanced Medical Alternatives is voluntarily recalling 27 cartridges of its THC-infused vape pen oil because they contain potentially dangerous pesticides that cannot legally be used on cannabis in Colorado.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says that he supports the decriminalization of marijuana, but says that he remains opposed to federal legalization, citing a series of myths about weed.

Filing final campaign-finance reports Friday, the private investor group that pushed marijuana legalization this year in Ohio spent more than $17 a vote in its losing effort for Issue 3, while opponents spent less than a dollar a vote to defeat the measure.The campaign was the most expensive marijuana issue in the nation's history.

ResponsibleOhio and Ohioans Against Marijuana Monopolies turned in the last official paperwork of the 2015 campaign to the Ohio secretary of state. The documents illustrated the unusual election’s counterintuitive result: In politics, the team with the most money usually wins – but not for Issue 3.

Arizona is on many lists as one of the states that is likely to legalize marijuana in 2016. I have personally put Arizona on all of my lists, in addition to California, Nevada, Michigan, Maine, and Massachusetts. It sounds like Vermont and Rhode Island have a good chance of legalizing between now and then via legislative action as well. However, a recent poll shows the Arizona effort losing be a very slim margin right now. Per Biz Journals:

A new Arizona State University Morrison-Cronkite Poll shows 49 percent of state voters support marijuana legalization while 51 percent oppose.

Marijuana advocates in the District of Columbia on Thursday threatened to work toward taking local lawmakers out of office if the D.C. Council continues with an effort to establish new restrictions affecting the city’s recently enacted pot laws.

In the face of a proposal that aims to permanently prohibit “cannabis clubs” from popping up within city limits, representatives from the D.C. Marijuana Justice Campaign and other pro-pot activists told council members this week that they’ll fight back with a proposal of their own.

Medical marijuana is now legal in Illinois, and more and more patients are starting to sign up as patients now that medical marijuana sales have begun at dispensaries. It took a long time, and a lot of hurdle jumping, but there is finally legal safe access to medical marijuana in Illinois. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still bumps in the road, proven by the recent mailing of erroneous letters telling medical marijuana patients in Illinois that they would have to give up their guns because they are medical marijuana patients. Per PJ Star:

STONE, Colo., Dec. 10, 2015/ Weed Wire/– Wana Brands, a leading maker of infused products, today announced the addition of new products to its growing line of adult-use (leisure) items.

The brand-new items include Watermelon Sour Gummies, Hot Cocoa, and CBD Wana Cocoa Rolls. Wana Brands will also introduce High CBD WanaCapsXR into the Colorado adult-use market. The prolonged release marijuana pills, which were previously just readily available to the medical market, now provide leisure users medical benefits with little to no psychoactivity for approximately 12 hours.

Wana Brands items are readily available in over 400 of Colorado’s 480 dispensaries, and will be getting in Oregon and Nevada in early 2016.

At the time, the lawsuit must have seemed like an open-and-shut case. In August 2010, Arizona entrepreneurs Mark Haile and Michele Hammer each loaned $250,000 to Today's Health Care II, aka “THC,” a medical marijuana dispensary in Colorado Springs, Colorado. But in March 2011, THC defaulted on its loan, which meant that, according to the contract, the dispensary had to repay the principal loan at a default interest rate of 21 percent. When THC didn’t do so, the two lenders sued the business in Arizona Superior Court in order to enforce their agreement.

That didn’t happen.

Recent research discovered that smoking cannabis really can reduce anxiety. U.S. scientists found marijuana regulates both anxiety and the body’s fight-or-flight response. But not everyone is supporting their findings and many claim that cannabis actually causes anxiety. The key here is in the dosage.

Anxiety is a common disorder that causes people to feel distress and nervous. We all experience it on a regular basis. However, some suffer from severe anxiety and this can have a strong impact on people’s life, and can lead to depression and other emotional problems. The good news is that there are many ways to deal with anxiety.
