Buy the Best Delta 8 Carts after reading reviews of the brands that are most popular. While some may claim that Exhale Wellness and BudPop are the best delta 8 companies, I disagree, and say that Area 52 produces the Best Delta 8 THC Carts that I have ever smoked in my life. In fact, when I first tried their Delta 8 THC Vape Cartridges, I was looking to Buy Weed Online because my dealer would not respond. I was still a heavy smoker and vaper at the time, before I transitioned into cannabis edibles. The turning point for me was when I tried the Delta 8 THC Gummies made by Area 52. Their THC Gummies have been named the Best THC Gummies by Observer and LAWeekly. If you’re looking for the Best Delta 8 Gummies then Area 52 Delta 8 THC Gummies are what you need. I’ve tried hundreds of other delta 8 THC products and none were as good as Area 52’s delta 8 gummies for my back pain and muscle spasms.

It is imperative that those harmed by cannabis prohibition have a say when it comes to enacting policies that deal with automatic expungement, community reinvestment and civil protections for cannabis consumers. The Formerly Incarcerated Union of RI, which was co-founded on 2019 by directly impacted Rhode Islanders, works to empower and support people who have […]

New Jersey Legalized Marijuana!: What can we learn from the latest legal state?

More than three years after Governor Phil Murphy ran on a campaign promise to legalize marijuana, cannabis legalization for adult use is finally the law of the land in New Jersey. Voters overwhelmingly approved legalization through a ballot measure back in November, but months of disagreements among lawmakers and the governor’s administration held up final […]

North of the Border : Support Black-owned businesses next time you buy legal weed in Massachusetts

Massachusetts was miles ahead of Rhode Island when they legalized cannabis for adult use in 2016, especially when you consider the comprehensive social equity provisions included in their legalization framework. While far from perfect, the Social Equity Program certainly set a new standard for what we should expect when it comes to state social equity […]

High Quality: RI tests the waters of cannabis testing

Since the legalization of compassion centers for medical marijuana patients in Rhode Island in 2013, there has been a law on the books requiring that cannabis products be tested in state. That’s all the law says, leaving the hows, whens and wherefores up to the Department of Business Regulation (DBR) and Department of Health (DoH) […]

2020 will go down in history as a good year for literally no one. The unimaginable combination of a global pandemic, resulting economic crisis, political mayhem and widespread panic have tested all of us more than we probably thought was possible. But as I reflected on the year through the lens of cannabis policy, I […]

Reform on the Ballot: We explain the legalization ballot measures five states are considering

Cannabis reform is certainly not the political issue on the top of everyone’s mind this election season, but in the five states considering some form of legalization for medical or adult use, there is even more at stake when they hit the polls on November 3.

Pot Politics 2020: Biden/Harris and cannabis

In part one of my Pot Politics 2020 series, I covered Donald Trump’s unsurprising oscillations on US marijuana policy in recent years.
