Marijuana figures that make the eyes pop and other stories!
The US cannabis market is estimated to be worth $35 billion a year. What was once looked upon as a stoned dream is hitting the business headlines nowadays and guess what? Women seem to be playing the bigger role in the marijuana empires that are now taking root in several states of America. Medical marijuana is a starting point approved by state governments based on researches. Even laymen know what history told along that marijuana saves and does not maim or kill unlike what alcohol and hard drugs like heroin do to the body and mind. The truth is that what is called medical marijuana today would eventually turn into the amusement ritual as hundreds of dispensaries with open arms embrace patients and recreationists too.
Let us get some figures straight
Words would not convince about the dimensions of the little weed. Little because you get to consume 10 mg perhaps of the cannabinoid just like medicines. Abuse may make that many times more! US sales of marijuana in 2014 came to a total of $2.66 billion! In 2015, so far that is, Colorado State alone collected $79 million from the marijuana trade in terms of taxes and fee payments. Now we know just how cool the marijuana stuff is getting to become in the months and years to come. The nation getting cured and the nation getting high will happen simultaneously and that is something to worry about in these permissive times.
Killer of cancer cells in rats
Amidst the never ending ongoing debate about the highs and lows of marijuana, researchers claim that cancer cells are killed by marijuana. That should be intensely welcome news but so far the research has been confined to rats though that seems hopeful enough. Whether the same impact would occur on humans is yet to be confirmed. We all certainly hope it would work to lessen human suffering. So far mice and rats have happy stories to tell with marijuana protecting healthy cells through the cannabinoid factor and causing death and blockage of blood vessels required by tumours in the growth process.
How can faraway Israel benefit?
- Medical marijuana is finally allowed in Israel and the patients may number 10,000
- Recreational marijuana or growing it privately are disallowed in Israel
- A doctor’s prescription would be necessary to obtain medical marijuana in Israel
- Now Israel naturally dreams of growing medical pot for America!
- Perhaps that dream may become a distant reality…
