Arizona's medical-marijuana patients now can patronize newly opened dispensaries in Reno and Las Vegas and possess up to 2.5 ounces anywhere in Nevada.

Arizona, like some of the other 23 states with medical-marijuana laws, allows people with valid medical cards from other states to legally possess marijuana in Arizona, but they can't legally buy it at Arizona dispensaries.

Nevada apparently is the only state that allows its dispensaries to sell to patients from other states. And now its dispensaries have begun to open, greatly expanding where Arizona's 80,000 patients can legally buy cannabis.

Newsweek recently ran a cover story about the trend. Women are moving into the pot business so quickly that they could make it the first billion-dollar industry that isn’t dominated by men, the mag predicts.

Cannabis has come a long way in helping shape our public health perception over the past few years. More people than ever are in favor of marijuana legalization, and they are asking why it was even prohibited in the first place.

But overcoming 80 years of harmful propaganda and lies is not going to happen overnight. Despite recent progress, marijuana still carries a heavy stigma for a lot of people.

For anybody who is still on the fence concerning the safety of cannabis consumption, here are seven things far more dangerous than weed that people consume every day without fear of legal percussion or stigma.

According to AMA, the American Marketing Association, a line extension refers to,

A new product marketed by an organization that already has at least one other product being sold in that product/market area. Line extensions are usually new flavors, sizes, models, applications, strengths, etc.”

As you expand your line of products, it is important to differentiate your new product or service from existing ones, while maintaining overall brand consistency.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she is open to legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is set to become the first ever sitting senator to give a keynote speech for a cannabis industry conference later in September, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

The conference, put on by the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA), is scheduled for Sept. 21 in New York City and will attract hundreds of cannabis professionals from all over the United States. Discussions and workshops will address issues like marijuana policy reform, patient care and navigating business practices in a legal environment where the drug is still classified under Schedule I, making it illegal as far as the federal government is concerned.

Combat veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress are hardly doing anyone harm by choosing a less toxic, safer alternative to alcohol to help soothe the stress of readjusting to civilian life, but never mind: clinical psychologist and Iraq veteran Bret A. Moore wants our vets to continue to just say no to using cannabis to treat PTSD.

The Americans with Disabilities Act doesn’t protect employees or applicants who currently use “illegal” drugs when an employer takes adverse action based on drug use. Courts have said the ADA defines “illegal drug use” by reference to the federal Controlled Substances Act, which classifies marijuana as a Schedule I illegal narcotic.

State laws that authorize medical marijuana use directly conflict with federal disability discrimination laws and parallel state statutes, rendering employers’ legal obligations to individuals with disabilities unclear. Employees who seek permission to use medical marijuana as an accommodation for a disability may have accommodation rights under state medical marijuana statutes but no accommodation rights under disability laws.
