    Police Discover 9-Foot Marijuana Plant on Domestic Dispute Call

    When Clayton County sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic dispute earlier this month, they instead found a 9-foot-tall marijuana plant and another 4-foot-tall plant, according to the Atlanta Journal Constituition.

    The incident began Sept. 7 on Mockingbird Trail when Diane Hazelrigs told authorities her 30-year-old son, Douglas Hazelrigs, left her house threatening to shoot her when he returned, according to the sheriff’s office. He was yelling and using profane language, the woman said.

    She then pointed out two houses on the neighboring street of Hummingbird Way where her son is known to hang out with brothers Michael McGuoirk and William McGuoirk, authorities said.

    “Deputies were told that Michael’s brother William had given him seeds so that he could grow a plant of his own and that they would find a much larger plant where William lived on the same street,” the sheriff’s office said.

  • Marijuana May Make Insomnia Worse, Not Better

    Marijuana helps many people fall asleep, but that short-term benefit doesn’t always translate to long-term use. A new study backs up the idea that you may not get a great night’s sleep if you use cannabis every day, according to Lifehacker.

    Research at the University of Michigan found that people who used marijuana every day were more likely to have insomnia. People who used it occasionally had a lower rate of insomnia, similar to people who did not use the drug at all.

    “While there are still many questions to be answered, existing research suggests that the effects of cannabis on sleep may depend on many factors, including individual differences, cannabis concentrations and frequency of use,” says author Deirdre Conroy.

    The Best Cannabis Strains for Aspiring Home Growers

    Purple Kush

    What do Jack Herer, Purple Kush, Og Kush, Moby Dick and White Widow have in common?

    They are the most popular marijuana strains grown at home, according to Civilized.

    The site says different cannabis plants require specific care. Some strains are easier to grow than others, because they produce a higher yield or require a shorter flowering period. Unfortunately, many beginner growers opt for the more budget friendly strains, though they may ultimately cost more because they may be more difficult to grow. For this reason, there are a number of popular home grown marijuana strains that yield some of the best flowers.

  • Daily Marijuana Use on the Rise for Adults

    Daily Marijuana Use on the Rise for Adults

    The latest federal survey data shows that while teen marijuana use continues to decline in the era of legal pot, adult use is rising. The percent of people over the age of 18 who smoke it in a given year has risen from 10.4 percent in 2002 to 14.1 percent in 2016. In other words, 46 million people got high last year, according to the Washington Post.

    In and of itself, the increase in adult marijuana use isn’t particularly alarming. Public-health researchers are typically more worried about adolescent drug use, which can derail a young person’s life. If more adults are smoking marijuana once or twice a year — even once or twice a month — it’s not really a huge concern.

    More concerning, though, is the number of people who are getting high all the time — heavy users who smoke on a daily or near-daily basis. The federal data shows that those numbers are increasingly precipitously.

  • California Backs Away From Ban on Cannabis Ads

    [tweet https://twitter.com/LegalTechnique/status/900785278192762880 width=’300′]

    California lawmakers have dropped a plan to impose significant restrictions on cannabis advertising, agreeing to kill a bill that would have banned cannabis-industry ads on clothing and other merchandise, according to Leafly.

    The proposal, by state Sen. Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica), would have prohibited state-licensed cannabis businesses from advertising “through the use of branded merchandise, including, but not limited to, clothing, hats, or other merchandise with the name or logo of the product.” Nonprofits and other noncommercial speech would have been exempt.

    Allen and other supporters of SB 162 said the measure was aimed at protecting children from potentially harmful marketing practices. But critics complained that the bill went too far and could ultimately do more harm than good.

  • ‘Mum, Cannabis and Me’: A Moving Documentary Debuts in New Zealand

    ‘Mum, Cannabis and Me’: A Moving Documentary Debuts in New Zealand

    A medical student is set to add new perspective to the medicinal cannabis debate in New Zealand by sharing her terminally ill mother’s “heart-breaking” secret use of it in a new documentary. The 30-minute film “Mum, Cannabis and Me” premieres tonight in Wellington.

    It is narrated by fifth year medical student Victoria Catherwood, who hopes the film will inspire fresh conversations about medical marijuana — a hot topic after cannabidiol (CBD) was removed from the Misuse of Drugs Act in New Zealand yesterday.

    “We hope to bring this discussion into the public domain to kind of let doctors feel less stigmatized about talking about it, and also to let patients have these doctors informed so that all these unnecessary harms can be minimized and any benefits can possibly be utilized.”

    Catherwood’s mother is terminally ill with breast cancer.
