Around two years ago, I was working at a fundraising call center, where my role involved training new recruits and ensuring they met their KPI’s. Part of my training program naturally involved sales skills, and no skill is more important within sales than handling rejection. (Little did I know, handling rejection would be the key to me getting a job in the cannabis industry.)
While I loved the job and those I worked with, I had never planned to stay there as long as I did. …
Depending on who you ask, Jordan Peterson is either a hero or a villain. To some, he’s helped them restore a semblance of order to their chaotic lives, and to others, he’s a dangerous rhetorician who uses his quick wit and mastery of language to promote harmful and divisive ideas.
As many will know, Dr. Peterson rose to prominence for his resistance against Bill C-16 in Canada, which sought to ratify gender expression as protected grounds within the Canadian Human Rights Act.
At the time, Peterson argued that this bill attempted to “legislate speech,” which he believed would begin a…
The number of medical cannabis products being approved via the Special Access Scheme B-portal (SAS-B) continues to rise, with February’s numbers hitting an all-time high of over 8,000 prescriptions.
Ordinarily, increased demand for medical cannabis prescriptions would be great for the fledgling Australian cannabis industry, however, many are unable to have their prescriptions filled due to a cannabis shortage throughout the country.
Moreover, the legal medicinal cannabis market is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cannabis users in the country, as the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has reported that over 11.6% …
New York has battled to legalize cannabis for several years now, and it looks like we may finally see the Empire State join the green rush and legalize the plant.
Speaking with Bloomberg, the Senate Finance Committee Chair Liz Krueger said that “the three-way agreement has been reached and that bill drafting is in the process of finishing a bill that we all have said we support.”
The bill would legalize the consumption, production, and sale of cannabis for those aged 21 years and above, with a 13% state tax, and an excise tax of up to 3 cents per…
Compared with the United States’ population of 328 million. Canada has a relatively small population of just 37 million. This is why we’ve got our sights aimed at the U.S.’s bourgeoning cannabis industry, as the gains that could be made by investors in the States are almost tenfold what may occur in Canada.
That said, Canada legalized recreational cannabis in 2018, and became the second country to do so after Uruguay, giving the country a headstart over the U.S., which has yet to legalize marijuana on a federal level. …
Virginia has joined the growing list of U.S. states that have legalized cannabis, making it the 16th state to do so…almost.
The bill which has been approved by both the House and Senate would legalize the use and sale of recreational cannabis by adults, but not until 2024.
Under the passed legislation, adults will be allowed to possess up to an ounce of marijuana as of the first of January, 2024, with a regulated, legal marijuana market coming into effect on the same day.
The legalization effort follows the decriminalization of cannabis in Virginia last year, which reduced the penalty…

Federal legalization of cannabis in the U.S. seems like an inevitability at this point, with 15 states that have now legalized cannabis for recreational purposes, and 35 states that have legalized it for medicinal purposes.
As such, investors are looking out for which company will take center-stage when federal legalization takes effect, as they may enjoy sizeable gains if they bet on the right horse.
However, many are also looking toward marijuana penny stocks so that they may capitalize on the growing cannabis industry without spending too much money.
So what is…
Yesterday, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, commonly referred to as AOC, released an emotional video discussing the fear she felt while the Capitol building was stormed by Trump supporters.
AOC had previously spoken out shortly after the riots occurred, saying at the time that she “did not know if I was going to make it to the end of that day alive, and not just in a general sense but also in a very, very specific sense.”
However, critics have since rebutted her claims, stating that she wasn’t actually in the Capitol building on January 6th, but rather she was in…
Just days after holding her first press conference, Joe Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki has received an outpouring of disapproval regarding a recent Q&A she released on Twitter.
The Press Secretary Tweeted:
“Last week I asked you for your questions and you delivered. Answered a bunch here — and looking forward to doing this again soon. SPOILER: Revealing @POTUS‘ favorite ice cream.”
Attached to the Tweet was a video of Psaki answering questions asked of the Biden Administration, in which she discussed her tone, unemployment benefits, the White House cat, Biden’s favourite flavour of ice cream, and his planned protections…
Rosemarie is a 57-year-old Tasmanian pensioner who suffers from fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease and three different types of arthritis. With shin splints keeping her up at night and pain that stopped her from getting out of bed most mornings, Rosemarie’s life as a mother and a grandmother was put on hold.
Allergic reactions prevent Rosemarie from using morphine and traditional opioid medications, and so she thought she would have to live out the rest of her life in agony, until she found CA Clinics.
“I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t find CA Clinics and get prescribed cannabis…
