Colorado suspended tax collections on marijuana for one day on Wednesday, and pot cultivation operations said the tax holiday was saving them tens of thousands of dollars behind the scenes.

"My space will all be empty today," said Daniel Morgan, grow operator for the Starbuds chain, as he stood before a 30-pound mound of pot in a north Denver warehouse. "We're just sending it to all the stores."

Morgan says he hopes to move up to 100 pounds of marijuana by the end of day Wednesday, which would mean $30,000 in savings.

The word of today’s marijuana tax holiday in Colorado has spread far beyond the state’s borders. Even Snoop Dogg’s heard of the one-time pot tax holiday — and he recorded a video message for cannabis aficionados in Colorado.

“In honor of it being an incredible year for the movement, I would like to wish you a happy tax holiday,” Snoop says in the video, which the artist shared exclusively with The Cannabist. “I love seeing the positive impact of the cannabis business in your beautiful state.

Publication of the Sanskrit Ayurvedic texts

Unlike the dates of many early Chinese texts, the Ancient Indians were fairly proactive when it came to dating their historical records, and as a result modern scholars are fairly confident that the first known references to cannabis appear in the Atharvaveda, written in around 1,400 BCE.

You'll never guess what: some study that claims to show links between prolonged cannabis usage and prediabetes has been slammed by pro-cannabis campaigners. I know, right?

The study, conducted by the University of Minnesota on more than 3,000 Americans, reported that 65 percent of regular cannabis users are at higher risk of developing the sugary disease, while those who have used it "more than a hundred times" had a 50 percent higher chance of getting it. While no biological link between the two has been found, there is a suspicion that the diabetes is brought on by the munchies.
