Since becoming the first state to effectively legalize marijuana for medical purposes in 1996, California has paved the way for weed-related innovations by showing that states with medical marijuana laws have fewer opioid overdoses, and now it's launching a medical marijuana delivery service in San Francisco.

WILLIAMS, Ore. –  On the third Thursday of each month, veteran medical marijuana growers and hopeful newbies gather in the old Williams Grange hall in a small rural Oregon valley long known for growing some of the best cannabis on the planet.

Since voters last fall made the state the fourth to legalize recreational marijuana, people have been flocking to the hall to get the latest update on lawmakers' progress on crafting rules for the new industry.

The entrepreneurs also share tips on how to produce happy and healthy marijuana plants.

"Why not come to the source to learn about growing?" says Gina Erdmann, director of the Oregon SunGrown Growers' Guild, as she lays out materials on the sign-in table outside the hall, now a community center.

It's not necessarily news that cannabis may be helpful in treating cancer, specifically breast cancer, but research is building to support that theory. Now, researchers are gaining a more nuanced understanding of how cannabis can help treat these cancers.

According to research from the California Pacific Medical Research Center published last year, CBD, the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, can help inhibit metastasis in breast cancer cells. Metastasis is a tumor's ability to spread throughout the body.

It seems inevitable—but there's this little liquidity problem

Pot has been generating lots of buzz. 

Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana, either for medicinal or personal use, while an additional 13 have planned votes by 2016. If the trend toward legalization continues, there's big profit potential, considering $2.5 billion in legal sales last year—and the estimated $60 billion in illegal sales. ArcView Market Research estimates that the national cannabis market will reach $10.8 billion in sales (retail and wholesale) by 2019.

Kalyx Development pays $3 million for complex that previously was water bottling plant

A west Eugene factory that once produced computer hard drives and later bottled water could next become an industrial-scale marijuana growing operation.

The Eugene Water & Electric Board on Friday sold the 107,000-square-foot building at 3590 W. Third Ave. for $3 million, according to a deed filed with Lane County on Friday.

The buyer is Kalyx Develop­ment, a New York City-based marijuana real estate firm.

Kalyx bills itself online as “the premier real estate development provider to emerging indoor agricultural operators on the national level.”

The company’s latest CBR Pharma report states that biologics currently account for between 17–20 percent of the pharmaceutical arena, with a value of nearly $200 billion, and these products may replace 70 percent of chemical drugs in the next two decades.

The 30 percent to 50 percent reduction in biosimilar prices compared with branded biologics could lead to considerable savings in healthcare expenditure.
