It is a sunny Saturday. The air is electric with the promise of summer. Only a few white clouds patrol the sky. A sunglass-donning DJ bobs his head to the speakers that are blasting bass music, just one of the many small booths that litter the parking lot of the Solar Cannabis Co. Joseph Ritchotte, […]
Hydroponics is the art and science of growing plants without soil. Instead of soil, some inert substrate, such as vermiculite, a naturally occurring mineral made of magnesium, aluminum, and iron silicate is used. The vermiculite – which are particles of mica – anchors the plant roots while water containing fertilizer and other nutrients circulates in […]

Actually, this is […]

Ancient Romans copied the technique and made glassblowing a major part of their […]
Currently, Rhode Island has seven licensed cannabis dispensaries. They are licensed and regulated by the State of Rhode Island Cannabis Control Commission to sell cannabis products to both medical patients and recreational users.

With cannabis now legal for recreational use in 24 states, it’s a wonder beer isn’t being brewed with it. Well, let me remind you that licensed brewers can not use cannabinoids with THC in beer.
