Some ups and downs in the sweet marijuana ride
The Colorado restrictions
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the law that prohibits certain shapes. While Colorado allowed a lot of marijuana highs, some limits are now introduced. They pertain to kids! Marijuana food products shaped like animals, fruits or people will not be allowed. Have you understood why? They would be too attractive to children who might be tempted to bite into them. Marijuana infused gummy bears will not be allowed either. Another requirement is the stamp that the product contains THC, the intoxicating agent in marijuana.
Cannabis addiction in Australia
Australians are taking to cannabis in a big way, leading to addictions too. In 2010, a source revealed that 750,000 citizens smoke it every week and 70% of the people between 20 and 29 had tried it. Hard drugs are more dangerous and difficult to obtain besides being pricier, but marijuana has reached deep in Australian culture. Unfortunately, marijuana use here is linked to alcohol intake and the nicotine habit. While marijuana is not considered addictive or dangerous, experts believe that many people are hooked to it. Perhaps 200,000 Australians struggle with marijuana addiction.
The ‘driving on marijuana’ problem in Colorado
It may be scary to think that 19% of the ‘driving under the influence’ cases in Colorado concerns marijuana use. ‘If you’re high, don’t drive’ is the clear message! Speed and time and even distance perceptions change after you have puffed on a joint or vaped and eaten the stuff. Since 2012 when cannabis became legal, traffic accidents have increased, according to the Department of Transport.
High Times and New Frontier join hands
A leading cannabis media company High Times has teamed up with a big data and analysis group for cannabis called New Frontier. Now that the cannabis industry is getting really high, data driven approaches would be welcome for numerous businesses and startups waiting to hit the jackpot. The cannabis industry is ‘hungry’ for information like never before.
