Ketamine Industry Shows Expensive Treatments Unsustainable
The legal weed industry is going down. Or if not actually down, it’s certainly not reaching its projected highs. And there are good reasons.

UN’s INCB Criticizes Cannabis Reform; Using Fear-Tactic Lines
In a great showing of not getting with the program, being behind the times, and not paying attention to reality; the UN’s INCB just criticized global cannabis reform efforts…saying they lead to higher use, and increased health issues. Where did the INCB get that? And why is one of our main global drug regulatory agencies, […]
I’ve been writing on the issues that plague today’s cannabis industry for awhile; from lay-offs to insanely strict regulation, to a lessening of sales. Recent news of a sales decline from the Great White North, shines light on problems within the marijuana industry of Canada; and how the governance of that country is trying to […]
