The gray exterior of Dana Larsen's dispensary belies the mosaic of psychedelia within. Inside, there are paintings of Incan gods spewing fire and lightning. There are shelves filled with hemp lip balms and stoner-centric comic books, many of them penned by Larsen himself. Most importantly, there is fungus — heaps of magic mushrooms, dried and stored in cork-topped jars. Customers can buy them dried and by the gram, or in the form of gummies, edibles, micro-doses and rice-krispy squares. Larsen isn't alone. Magic mushroom shops are sprouting up across Canada, spurred by growing medical interest in psilocybin and vague drug laws. Some of the top chains are even boasting about expansion — but a spate of police raids suggests a potential crackdown looming.

My full review of the Drecisco Farms SweetBuzz Sweet Empowder:
“Sweet Empowder is the best executed THC powder I’ve seen so far with a light sweet flavor that could be paired with almost anything and a reliable effect profile that worked very quickly.” News Joint Events is set to host SweetBuzz as one of two-dozen craft brands offering samples at the Illinois Craft Showcase at Molly’s Joint from 12-7 p.m. Sept. 7.

LHCC is so proud to work with and carry Laurel Mason's Highland Goat (women-owned and -operated) pectin-based, hash rosin gummies. While this AUCP produces only one (1) product, it does so exceptionally well. So proud LHCC is the ONLY Manhattan dispensary retailing this product, because Highland Goat sells fast. Carrying and supporting one-off products from a small, single Cultivator or Processor takes extra work, but LHCC does it, because we have to give these participants a platform to compete. We owe them an opportunity because our Legislators believed in each of us enough to give us a chance. From NY Finca, to Nightshade Farm, to Highland Goat, canna-preneurs are remaking cannabis products in their own vision and flavors. When social justice is the NY Adult-Use market!

Company Director at Stephen Patrick Smith Medical Consulting Ltd., (UK) Proprietor BEWARE GIN BRANDS Ltd., (UK)
Well it was the bottle 5 undiluted and it did very clearly say - BEWARE RHUBARB #5 - NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION - RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY OR UNDER CLOSE MEDICAL SUPERVISION BY A DOCTOR TRAINED AND ACCREDITED BOTH IN SEDATION AND RESUSCITATION AND ONLY IN A DEFINED RESEARCH FACILITY. Plus he did dose and monitor the Macaque monkeys in that last animal trial so he must (as a trained toxicologist) have understood what he was doing. Legally I'm told its watertight and not to worry. But ethically I do wonder just a bit whether this World really needs something like this. So followers please help me with your comments below. The question is : "Should I just lock every piece of info on this liquid novel IMP (investigational medicinal product ) up ?" Or should I think along the lines of: "Whiskey wasn't an entirely great invention but in the correct circumstances - crystal glasses/room temperature tap water to loach the resins and oils and to release all of those more complex essences ("loaching"? - maybe look that one up all Americans reading this)/Middleton Cork single malt/beautiful female companion/soft Irish rain at a picnic table in an area of outstanding natural beauty in Co. Down/brown bread/smoked salmon with freshly squeezed lemon/a smile and then a soft kiss on the side of the neck below her ear/the gentle words of WB Yeats "Tread softly" whispered etc.," Professor Brendan Buckley I would love to hear your opinion on this ethical conundrum. Stop development at Bottle 6 and leave it as the stuff of whispers in places like Sothebys ("we think there might be a bit of either #4 or #6 left somewhere in South East Asia ")? YES/NO

Is this a win? So many states are foreclosing avenues for multi-serv beverages, often inadvertently. A robust hemp beverage industry should include all available delivery mechanisms and sizes available to alcohol -- whether it be a 12 ounce can, a 750mL bottle, ready to drink, etc. If a retailer can sell a 40 MG gummy, they should be able to sell a multi-serve with designated single serving sizes within the relevant state's MG cap. #hemp #thcbeverages #thc #beverages
In a win for businesses in Louisiana's booming hemp-derived THC market, state lawmakers on Friday rejected a push to ban the products, instead setting a slew of regulations on a fast-growing $33 million industry.
