We imagine a world where cannabis use is uncontroversial. A society that embraces the benefits of cannabis but remains responsible in its usage. A culture where cannabis openly plays a role in enriching experiences, moments, and memories.

Marijuana Money Matters — Cannabis, Crypto & Capital Gains

Although the marijuana market is smokin', it's still impossible for weed businesses to open a bank account. Since cannabis is federally illegal, dispensary owners must think outside the box regarding "marijuana money matters." Given this crazy legal environment, is it any wonder cannabis businesses are getting into crypto? Long before the 2018 Bitcoin bull run, many weed enthusiasts supported blockchain tech and decentralized finance (aka DeFi). These novel protocols have allowed countless shops to thrive despite the federal ban on weed. Even if you're solely a cannasseur, it's worth knowing how cannabis, crypto, and capital gains are creating "green" opportunities for this sector.

CBD Dosage Chart: How Much Do You Need?

Learning how to dose CBD is kind of like learning how to ride a bicycle. There are a few key steps involved before you can get rolling safely. And like bicycle brands, there are many CBD products available, and each one must be tweaked for the individual. There are no "one-size fits all" for either bicycles or CBD. Things like height, weight, age, what you're using the CBD for, experience level, and even your gender may make a difference. All of these factors influence the kind of CBD you choose and how it feels. Using a CBD dosage chart to help you navigate what works best for you is a good way to start.
