Recreational, or adult-use cannabis, will be available via delivery for anyone over the age of 21 with a valid state-issued ID once the state of Missouri permits it. While no date has been announced yet, this is expected to take place around February or March 2023.

“With our commitment to fair and equitable access to cannabis, rolling out a comprehensive delivery program was a clear step in the right direction. We believe anyone should be able to access marijuana delivery, especially during inclement weather conditions or when someone is unable to come into one of our dispensaries for whatever reason,” stated Carolyn Richmond, owner of From The Earth.

From The Earth joins a short list of Missouri cannabis companies approved by the state to provide customers delivery straight to their door. To ensure customers’ privacy and delivery drivers’ safety is protected at all times, their fleet utilizes vans that are discrete and secure using top-of-the-line security and surveillance equipment.

Happy 420 USA – CANNABIS LAWS in the USA – State by State

CANNABIS LAWS BY STATE

In 1996, California was the first state to recognize the rights of qualified patients to cultivate, distribute, and possess medical cannabis. Since then, many states have legalized cannabis for adult use, medical use, or both. Cannabis laws by state are constantly changing, so we put together a comprehensive list to keep you up to date on the current laws.

In Which States Is Cannabis Legal?

As a look at the map makes clear, states continue to take a variety of approaches to regulating cannabis. While a few states still have outright bans, the trend has been toward loosening restrictions. Most states now allow the use of cannabis for medical purposes. An increasing number have also legalized recreational use or greatly reduced the penalties for possessing or using cannabis.

How Do States Decide on Their Cannabis Laws?

For decades, states have been changing their cannabis laws through both ballot initiatives and the legislative process. In states including California, South Dakota and New Jersey, voters have directly approved measures legalizing medical cannabis, recreational cannabis or both.

State legislatures have been passing laws to allow medical cannabis since the 1990s. In 2018, Vermont became the first state to legalize recreational cannabis through its legislature rather than through a ballot initiative. Since then, legislatures in states including Illinois and Virginia have followed suit.

A state’s cannabis laws don’t address every detail of how its system works. Instead, the law creates a framework within which state agencies and local governments can make more specific rules.

What Is Medical Cannabis?

Medical cannabis, as the name suggests, is prescribed by a doctor to treat specific conditions and symptoms. Studies have shown that cannabis can help patients with a variety of health concerns, including:

Certain kinds of epilepsy.
Nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
The loss of appetite and weight loss that can be caused by HIV/AIDS.

Scientists continue to study whether cannabis is an effective treatment for some symptoms of multiple sclerosis, chronic pain and other conditions.

How Do States Regulate Medical Cannabis?

Each state’s medical cannabis program is unique, but they share important similarities.

A physician will examine a patient and, if appropriate, provide a certification that the patient has a condition that can be treated with medical cannabis. Each state has its own list of qualifying conditions.

Once a patient has a physician’s certification, they can be placed on the state’s medical cannabis registry and issued an identification card. This card entitles them to purchase cannabis at a dispensary — a state-regulated store that is authorized to sell cannabis products. The amount of cannabis someone with a medical cannabis card can possess varies by state.

Another important difference between states is whether they recognize other states’ medical cannabis cards. Individuals must follow the rules of the state they are in, not just the state that issued their ID.

What Is Cannabis Decriminalization?

In addition to implementing and refining medical cannabis programs, states are also continuing to address the question of how to regulate the nonmedical use and possession of cannabis. As the map shows, many states now allow adults to possess and use cannabis with some restrictions. Others have opted instead for decriminalization.

Decriminalization of cannabis does not mean legalization of cannabis. Instead, decriminalization can reduce the legal consequences of those caught possessing or using cannabis.

Decriminalization generally means criminal penalties are replaced with civil penalties. For example, police would issue a citation instead of making an arrest, would not punish an individual with a jail or prison sentence, and the incident would not appear on the individual’s criminal record.

It’s important to note that these more lenient punishments generally only apply to the first-time possession of smaller amounts of cannabis — harsher penalties can be imposed for multiple infractions or for possessing larger amounts.

What Is CBD?

The Cannabis sativa plant contains both delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — the chemical compound found in medical and recreational cannabis — and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is psychoactive — it’s the chemical in cannabis that causes a “high.” CBD is not psychoactive. For this reason, many states have begun loosening restrictions on its use for medicinal and other purposes.

At both the state and federal levels, however, the law surrounding CBD remains complicated and unsettled. This is especially true when it comes to the presence of THC in CBD products. Since the two compounds are chemically similar and derived from the same plant, many CBD products contain some THC. Some states that allow CBD products but have more restrictive laws for THC have specified that CBD products may not contain more than a certain small amount of THC.

By isolating and extracting the CBD from Cannabis sativa plants, it is possible to create CBD-only products. Since these products contain no THC at all, they reduce some of the risk and uncertainty surrounding the production, sale and use of CBD.

Navigating State Cannabis Laws

The laws addressing recreational cannabis, medical cannabis and CBD continue to evolve. We’ll continue to update our map to reflect changes to each state’s cannabis laws.

Florida to Remove Caps on Hemp THC content.

Over the past month, hemp entrepreneurs have traveled to the Florida State Capitol to advocate against a proposal to regulate hemp-derived products that could potentially hurt the hemp industry.

But Monday, many of those same professionals were cheering after the sponsor of the latest version of the bill removed any reference to limiting the THC dosage of those hemp-derived products. THC is the compound in the cannabis plant that can get you high.

In a committee meeting Monday, Manatee County House Republican Will Robinson Jr. said: “All caps are O.U.T., Out.”

Robinson was responding to a colleague, Democrat Anna Eskamani, of Orlando, on the committee. Robinson confirmed to her that his new amendment to the legislation would remove any references to capping the amount of THC in hemp products.

That means that products in hemp stores are not going to be affected in terms of their potency to consumers.

At the same time, the bill is still moving on issues regarding safety. The measure still maintains the safety requirements to keep products like Delta-8 THC out of the hands of those under age 21, provisions that aren’t remotely controversial and have been embraced by virtually everyone who has testified in three previous committee meetings held in the House and Senate.

“We’ve sure come a long way on this one,” said Florida Cannabis Action Network president Jodi James.

“You did a great job – saved a lot of businesses,” added William Clark from the Libertarian Party of Florida.

Carlos Hermida owns a hemp dispensary in Tampa and has attended previous committee meetings about the bill. He opted not to travel to Tallahassee Monday when he saw Robinson’s amendment added to the legislation last Friday.

“The public spoke and Robinson listened!” Hermida told the Phoenix in a text message. “I can’t help but be thankful to the representative for protecting the hemp industry and protecting our children.”

As originally written, Robinson’s bill HB 1475 (as well as a similar version in the state Senate) set limits on how much THC could be included per serving and per package of hemp products. Robinson raised the limits after the bill received its first hearing in a House committee, but hemp advocates said the limits still were far too low and would have made hemp-derived products less potent for consumers to purchase and thus threaten their businesses.

Robinson admitted that “there is more work to be done in this space,” but said that it was also a great indication that the committee process works. “It’s very important to take input from stakeholders and others,” he said.

The measure was unanimously approved by the House Infrastructure Committee, its third and final committee and now will go to the House floor. Its Senate equivalent (SB 1676) is scheduled to go before the Fiscal Policy Committee on Thursday of this week.

Why Some Enjoy Smoking Weed While Others Feel Anxious?

Did you ever wonder why cannabis doesn’t affect everyone the same way? Why do some people experience pleasure and relaxation when smoking pot and others get anxious or even paranoid?

Psychiatrist: Why Some Enjoy Smoking Weed While Others Feel Anxious? Does Frequent Use Change Personality?© Provided by Benzinga

To understand the various effects the same plant has on the same species, we humans that is, it’s essential to understand not only the plant and its components, but our own endocannabinoid system.

Enter neuroscience.

First things first, what is the endocannabinoid system?

Simply put, it is a biological system in the body that helps regulate and balance key bodily functions. An American psychiatrist with a private practice in San Francisco and Marin County focuses on addictions. In his book, “Marijuana on My Mind: The Science and Mystique of Cannabis,” Timmen L. Cermak, M.D. explores various questions about marijuana and its effects.

In his January post in Psychology Today, Cermak tries to explain how it feels to be high and why this experience can sometimes resemble meditation. In a new post, he focuses on “how THC and CBD ingestion produces pleasant effects for so many people, why too frequent use of cannabis can produce subtle cognitive and emotional impairments, and how selective use of cannabis has medicinal benefits for a variety of illnesses.”

Cermak looks at Koen Van Laere’s discovery of how genetic differences in the density of active CB1 receptors determine temperamental characteristics of extroversion exhibited in novelty-seeking and often risk-taking and introversion’s novelty and risk avoidance.

Cermak explains how THC increases endocannabinoid system activity, lowering the bar for experiencing novelty. This is why, when some people are, they notice things that they hadn’t noticed a long time ago, like the rainbow on each soap bubble. For some cannabis consumers, weed can help them become more fascinated with the everyday world.

On the other hand, too frequent cannabis use leads to raising the bar for experiencing novelty higher than normal, thus leading to a sense of boredom. “High cannabinoid activity produces novelty; low cannabinoid activity reduces novelty,” writes Cermak.

This means that people born with low CB1 receptors may feel good when THC increases their amygdala endocannabinoid system activity, as it “brightens their interest in the world.” On the other hand, people with high CB1 receptors who are already close to saturation with novelty could be overwhelmed with THC to the point of feeling anxious.

Temperament & Personality

Cermak notes an important distinction between temperament and personality when he says that “temperament is genetically determined and should not be conflated with personality.” He explains that two people with the same temperamental trait of novelty-seeking can develop two destructive personalities: “one becoming an inveterate world traveler while the other becomes ensnared in a series of drug addictions.”

In the end, Cermak highlights how Laere’s research offers a basis for understanding why the 20% reduction in CB1 receptors caused by frequent marijuana use could lead to temperament and ultimately personality changes. However, research confirming this theory would be unethical, so all we can do is trust anecdotes that indicate how regular marijuana use is related to various personality changes.

Members of the Texas House of Representatives advanced legislation seeking to expand cannabis products.

Members of the Texas House of Representatives advanced legislation today seeking to expand the pool of patients eligible to obtain state-licensed cannabis products.

Lawmakers voted by a nearly five to one margin in favor of the legislation, House Bill 1805. Specifically, it amends the Texas Compassionate Use Program so that physicians may recommend certain products containing fixed levels of THC to patients with “a condition that causes chronic pain, for which a physician would otherwise prescribe an opioid.” It also empowers state health officials, rather than lawmakers, to add additional qualifying conditions. Currently, patients with autism, ALS, cancer, incurable neurological disorders, intractable epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, post-traumatic stress, and seizure disorders are eligible to obtain low-THC medical cannabis products.

The measure also amends limits on the amount of THC that may be present in state-licensed products.

“I am thrilled to see the proposed legislation advancing through the legislative process,” said NORML State Policies Manager Jax James, who also serves as Executive Director for Texas NORML. “Medical cannabis is an objectively safer alternative to the array of pharmaceutical drugs that it could potentially replace. I urge my fellow Texans to voice their support for this important legislation and to reach out to their Senators to encourage their backing as it moves through the legislative process.”

Texas lawmakers initially enacted legislation establishing the Compassionate Use Program in 2015. In 2021, legislators expanded the program to allow patients with PTSD and all forms of cancer to qualify for medical cannabis. That legislation also raised the limit on permissible levels of THC in licensed products from 0.5 percent to one percent.

When Inspirational Technologies is an endorsement of the “Cannabis” approach to the medical condition, we say, let’s let the look at the data and the people who say that they benefit for cannabis alternatives.

Happy “April Rules” Month, 2023.

Happy “April Rules” Month 2023

April Rules is a colloquial term for April Fools, on current appropriate verbiage.

So, let it out. April does rule. It is the beginning of spring, and the hope for a new beginning, (aside from the tossed New Year’s resolutions).

This year the new collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association excluded any and all marijuana testing for players per The Athletic.

Could the NFL soon follow suit?

It was three years ago that the NFL reduced potential penalties for marijuana use, in a move that many thought was a prelude to the elimination of testing for it altogether.

The NFL hosts franchises in many states where marijuana use is legal for medicinal and recreational use, but the “No Fun League” always fell back on the fact that it remains a controlled substance under federal law.

But now that more and more states are legalizing it, it seems the league might be moved to ban testing altogether, while still maintaining order among players who choose to indulge.

But the league’s current laws surrounding marijuana use and testing might not have anything to do with the substance itself, but rather, a political move. The NFL regards the marijuana ban as part of collective bargaining. This means that, before they get rid of it, they want something in return from the NFL Players Association.

Some believe this has already happened, or the league just refuses to enforce any violations, but it’s simply not the case. The NFL still levies harsh fines for positive tests, and multiple violations still mark players for the treatment program and potential suspensions.

But for how much longer?

Too soon to tell, but there’s no question the NBA’s decision to ban marijuana testing for players is a move other leagues will be monitoring closely.

We, at Inspirational Technologies are at the forefront of Inspirational and Frontrunners on the frontier of current technology. We are often faced with our own personal conflicts which directly influence our interactions with our peers and family.
