San Francisco cannabis delivery flourished during COVID-19. And, like other forms of now-popular e-commerce, it will continue to thrive due to the benefits it offers consumers. Getting weed delivered has become a habit for many.
In this post, we will explore how buying weed has changed since COVID-19 lockdowns. We were curious about what was drawing consumers to online dispensaries so we looked at:

<h2>The Countless Benefits of Online Delivery </h2>
During COVID-19, <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1253156">cannabis</a> sales grew exponentially in the US. A huge part of this growth has resulted from e-commerce sales. 
Like other retailers, cannabis dispensaries leveraged technology and the need for internet shopping during the pandemic. The trend toward online ordering and delivery has helped create shopping opportunities that feel safe for consumers. 
Many benefits accompany online delivery. Beyond the convenience of ordering from the comfort of your own home, ordering cannabis online can lower stress and offer greater selection and time to explore and learn. 
What would you choose to do if you could skip traffic and parking and get cannabis delivered right to your door? Many are opting to shop online, simply to avoid the headache of city driving, which further helps those who consume <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1253379">cannabis to relax. </a>
San Francisco cannabis delivery allows consumers to take their time learning about different strains, which in turn supports learning about cannabis and making informed, supportive selections. 
<h2>Statistics and News on Cannabis Consumption During COVID-19</h2>
Because of COVID-19 lockdowns, online dispensaries saw massive upward growth. A Flowhub <a href="https://flowhub.com/cannabis-industry-statistics">article</a> states that “in the 30 days following the March 13 declaration of a national emergency, new delivery customer sign-ups jumped by nearly 60%.” Sales increases followed. 
Many online dispensaries saw massive growth in their sales and customer bases. 
A TechCrunch article from December 2020 claimed, “Experts estimate that the pandemic accelerated the shift to e-commerce by five years.” In other words, COVID-19 caused online shopping for <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1280335">cannabis</a> to grow five times the expected rate in a single year. 
<h2>How We Deliver Cannabis </h2>
At Green Rush, there are two options for cannabis delivery. If you have time to plan ahead, you can set up a scheduled delivery. This gives you access to a greater variety of <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1253117">products</a>.

<h2>San Francisco Cannabis Delivery During Covid-19 Lockdowns </h2>
Similar to purchasing groceries and other items online, buying cannabis for home delivery makes life simpler. During this busy time, people are seeking ways to create more ease in their lives, and online ordering supports this. 
COVID-19 caused cannabis consumers to change their habits and move to online shopping during lockdowns. With the benefits of convenience, stress reduction, and variety, it seems that online cannabis shopping is here to stay.

No Traffic, No parking: Why We Love Weed Delivery

Are you tired of hearing “the new normal” yet? It’s a crushing reminder of everything we’ve endured over the last year, and while people are just trying to coin a term to describe our new reality...it can get really old, really fast. So, stay six feet apart from every other human being in the world (gladly, right?) and take a break from the new normal. Go home, lock the door, and be alone. Totally alone. We’re calling this your Reset Night. Your goal is to take your mind off the pandemic, off the new normal, and refocused on the things that matter most to you. Your Reset Night is your night to unplug, unwind, and recoup from the pandemic. 
But, before you do anything, place an order to get your weed delivered by us <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop">here</a>. We’re the ones giving you all of the best Reset Night ideas, so no way are you leaving to get your own cannabis. Here’s the ideal, break from the new normal, cannabis-friendly Reset Night, in order, as told by the Green Rush team: 
<h2>1) Make a Healthy Meal</h2>
Emphasis on a healthy meal. If there’s anything we all treasure after last year, it’s our health! Don’t waste Reset Night on a bad meal. Pick something that your body will thank you for. Also, don’t overcomplicate things. It can be easy to overthink and get stuck focusing on what you should make, that you just don’t make anything at all. 
If you’re not used to eating healthy, don’t get caught up trying to make an extravagant meal. Reset Night is about rejuvenation, don’t waste your time cooking for three hours. If you like chicken, make grilled chicken breast and salad. Keep it simple. 
<h2>2) Make a Not-So-Healthy Dessert</h2>
And though we treasure our health, we have learned life is all about balance and living in the moment. How many of us wish we ate just one more piece of cake at our favorite restaurant before it closed down for months, maybe even forever? Eat something sweet and enjoy every bite. 
If you are trying to eat healthily, find a recipe that fits your dietary needs and make it. Remember: keep it simple! This is not the night to experiment in the kitchen. Feed your body, feed it well, and be done so you can relax. 
By now, your delivery from Green Rush should have arrived! If not, call us, because it’s been a few hours. 
If you ordered flower, make cannabutter or oil and whip up some homemade cannabis-infused cupcakes. Here’s one of our favorite <a href="https://cannabischeri.com/food/recipes/marijuana-cupcakes-red-velvet-cupcakes/">infused cupcake recipes</a> from Chef Cheri: 
<h3 class="p7">Ingredients</h3>
<h4 class="p8">Cupcakes:</h4>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li9">2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour</li>

<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li9">8 ounces cream cheese</li>
<li class="li9">1/2 cup butter</li>

<li class="li9">Divide batter among prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.</li>
<li class="li9">To prepare the icing, beat together cream cheese, butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Lower mixer speed and slowly beat in confectioners’ sugar until incorporated. Increase speed and beat until frosting is light and fluffy.</li>
<li class="li9">Spread icing over completely cooled cupcakes, leaving a small rim unfrosted to allow the cake to peak through.</li>
</ol>
If you don’t want to make your own dessert, and we don’t blame you, grab a chocolate bar from <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/chill/products">Chill</a>. We can deliver that, too! 
<h2 class="p4">3) Make a Vision Board</h2>
If you’ve never heard of a vision board, it might change the way you approach your goals! 
It’s basically a board that can be displayed on your wall or other common space for you to easily see. Your vision board showcases your hopes, dreams, and wishes you hope to achieve within a specific time. They can be tangible goals, like increasing your income, or personal goals like improving your marriage. Some people create vision boards each month, once a year, every few years, or whenever they feel it’s time to capture their visions. 
To make a vision board, you’ll need some craft supplies. You’ll also need a fantastic creative strain, like these Lemon Cheesecake pre-rolls by <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/roots/products">Roots</a>. We can deliver these, too, so just stay put. 
If you aren’t crafty, we encourage you to try this project anyways. It can be a significant period of reflection and refocusing on your future goals. Remember, it’s Reset Night. Don’t make your goals related to the pandemic; make them about you. 
Take your time, read <a href="https://www.louisebartlett.com/new-blog/2018/2/1/a-beginners-guide-to-creating-the-perfect-vision-board">the instructions</a> 18x over before doing it, and don’t take yourself too seriously. Challenging yourself to try new things is a great way to strengthen your mind and combat the anxiety associated with “the new normal.” A fun craft in your own home is a great way to try something new.
If you have any old magazines - don’t throw them out. Their vibrant photos are perfect for your vision boards, and if there’s no picture of what you want, get creative and make your own! 
Pro-tip: stay off social media and all communication channels throughout Reset Night. We can’t escape hearing about the new normal unless we make a conscious effort, so do that because you deserve it. Social media especially is unpredictable; there’s almost a 100% guarantee you’ll see something relating to the pandemic on your newsfeed. 
<h2 class="p15">Tag Us on Instagram</h2>
We can’t suggest you stay off your phone the whole night, though, because we need to see your meal, dessert, and vision board! Tag us on Instagram @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/greenrushdotcom">greenrushdotcom</a> and show us what you made when you took a break from the new normal.

Taking a Break from The New Normal

For the cannabis user that wants to use smaller amounts of cannabis on a day to day basis to reduce anxiety, or for someone that wants to try cannabis to enhance your creative thinking, microdosing is a great way to receive the benefits of cannabis with usage of a lower THC percentage. Not sure if that sounds appealing? There are a multitude of benefits to microdosing that most people do not know about, that reap the potential to change your cannabis game.
&nbsp;
What is microdosing?
Microdosing involves the intake of smaller amounts of cannabis, giving the user the same benefits of THC without the psychoactive experience that a “high” can deliver. Although the term microdosing can hold a negative connotation with its typical association with other psychoactive drugs, the benefits of cannabis microdosing are actually quite high and are slowly becoming increasingly legal and more mainstream across America. Contenders have highlighted the benefit that microdosing suppresses the craving to constantly use cannabis products to get "high". Often times, a high dose of cannabis is the culprit to feeling lethargic, tired, prone to snacking, and paranoid or anxious. Microdosing can help a user to avoid all of these issues, and is arguably the most efficient way to achieve the maximum benefits associated with cannabis.
Medical professionals such as doctors also support this approach to incorporating cannabis into your lifestyle, as using smaller dosages instead of higher ones allows for more sustainable and long-lasting effects in your body. A study done by a research center at the University of California has provided the evidence that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3566631/">lower doses do provide benefits for medical issues such as neuropathic pain</a>. For consumers looking for an approach to alleviate pain without medical interference or side effects, this study proves that "even at low doses, (cannabis) may present an effective option for patients with treatment-resistant neuropathic pain".
Recommendations to begin:
In microdosing, “the goal is to use the dose that gives the most minimal noticeable effect” (Dustin Sulak, osteopath). Everyone will be different depending on your tolerance to THC, and whether you are attempting to build up your tolerance or decrease it.
For consumers that are just beginning or do not often use cannabis, we recommend using a 1:1 ratio of 1 mg THC to 1 mg CBD. For consumers that frequently use cannabis, begin experimenting with small doses. It will be surprising how much a small dosage will still effect your body, even if your tolerance is built up. While beginning, it is important to stay observant as to how your body reacts. In deciding how much of a product to take, we recommend waiting approximately 20-60 minutes in between doses to determine whether you feel any noticeable effects, depending on the type of strain or product you are consuming. Be patient! Taking more cannabis than you need to may not provide the all of the benefits that you are capable of receiving.
When deciding what time of the day you should microdose, factor in a few things. Some find it most helpful to microdose when they go to busy places where they are surrounded by other people such as work or public, or are in situations that can cause anxiety or stress. It is very helpful to log what times of the day a user experiences the most stress, and to keep track of the times that microdosing can prove to be the most beneficial. Trial and error is very important when choosing the right game plan for you, since every body reacts different to cannabis products.
What products should I use?
Any cannabis products will work to microdose, but some are easier to use than others. greenrush recommends using products in an edible, tincture, or oil form for easier monitoring of how much cannabis you are consuming at a time. In these forms of cannabis, you can measure out a dosage much easier than if you were to smoke your product. As each body reacts differently, it is recommended to test a variety of options to see how you respond to a low dose of cannabis in an edible vs. a tincture form (etc).
Luckily, there are a multitude of products on the market now to assist with microdosing. The assortment of gummies produced by <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/679075">PLUS</a> have been very popular in the edible world, as there are multiple options in product ratio as well as flavors. <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1182524">Dr. Raw</a> formulates a balm with a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD that is perfect for microdosing in the form of reducing muscle or nerve pain. <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1188779">Select</a> also creates tinctures such as this one that are popular for their calming and anti-anxiety effects for discreet everyday use.
The popularity of microdosing is increasing each day as people are understanding the ways that discreetly using cannabis can help them in a plethora of ways. Let us know if you will be trying any of these methods soon.

A Guide to Microdosing Cannabis

Today marks the official date that Canada legalizes cannabis for recreational use. America’s northern neighbor is the first G7 nation to legalize cannabis country-wide and could prove a valuable example on the US’ own road to legalization.
<iframe width="840" height="473" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t1b2S5KOCfY" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
Canada’s legalization has been in the works since 2015 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised he would bring legalization to the country. Since then, the move has been met with substantial opposition, both from within and outside Canada. Both Russia and the United Nations have expressed concern about Canada’s legalization, with the UN International Narcotics Control Board <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="https://biv.com/article/2018/06/canadas-cannabis-raises-international-disapproval">citing</a> the potential repercussions Canadian legalization could have on other UN member nations.
&nbsp;
“INCB is very concerned about the public health situation in Canada which will result from the Government's decision to legalize the non-medical use of cannabis,” said INCB President Viroj Sumyai. “We also call upon the Government of Canada to consider the repercussions of its policy on other Member States.”
&nbsp;
<h3>Canadians Are Still Confused</h3>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6036" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/beard-confused-digital-nomad-874242.jpg" alt="canadian cannabis" width="5760" height="3840" />
While Canada will be legalizing marijuana across the entire country (the equivalent of what federal legalization would look like in the United States), individual provinces retain the right to set their own rules and regulations on how legalization will look within their borders. As a result, a vast number of Canadians are confused as to what legalization will actually look like where they live.
&nbsp;
Where Canadians will be able to purchase legal recreational cannabis will differ depending on the province in which they live. In some areas of the country, legal recreational weed will only be available at government-run dispensaries, similar to the way in which liquor is distributed in parts of the country. In other parts, cannabis will be available at private, licensed retailers only. Some provinces will have a mixture of the two, making cannabis more readily available.
&nbsp;
For existing dispensaries currently operating in Canada, the future will, once again, depend on the province the dispensary is located in. British Columbia, for example, will be allowing illegal dispensaries to apply to become legal private retailers. Elsewhere in the country, government stores will become the only legal option. Quebec plans to open 12 government-owned and run dispensaries today where the traditional ‘budtender’ will be a government employee armed with information on all things cannabis-related.
&nbsp;
As of today, Canadians will be allowed to possess 30 grams of cannabis, however, public consumption laws will be dictated by each individual province. Various neighborhoods, landlords, and hotels across the nation have already taken measures to ensure cannabis is prohibited in their areas. Most Canadians will be able to grow up to four plants at home, however, Quebec and Manitoba have implemented a complete ban on homegrown cannabis. Canadians could also face a $1,000 fine for driving under the influence of marijuana as well as possible jail time.
&nbsp;
<h3>What Does Canadian Legalization Mean For The US?</h3>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6037" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_99115895.jpg" alt="canadian cannabis" width="4288" height="2848" />
As one of the US’ closest neighbors, Canada’s move to legalize cannabis will undoubtedly have some repercussions. Most immediately, US border services have noted that Canadians admitting to cannabis use may be refused at the US-Canada border, however, it remains unclear whether or not border agents will ask Canadians about their cannabis use on a routine basis.
&nbsp;
Americans looking to benefit from legal weed in Canada should be warned. Although weed may now be legal north of the border, anyone found transporting cannabis from Canada into the US could be arrested, even if they are entering a legal US state. Borders and airports remain federal territory, and with US federal legalization yet to be implemented in the United States, these areas remain a no-go for cannabis use and transportation.
&nbsp;
Nevertheless, Canadian legalization is likely to have an impact on US policy further down the line.. Many have referred to cannabis legalization in Canada as a ‘social experiment’ and there will likely be various growing pains associated with legalizing weed recreationally. Depending on how Canada addresses these issues, it may serve as a valuable example for the United States, where federal cannabis legalization remains a hot topic. Marijuana is currently medically legal in 31 US states and recreationally legal in 9 states in addition to the District of Columbia. However, cannabis has been federally illegal in the United States since 1937 when the Marihuana Tax Act was introduced, prohibiting the plant. Successful nationwide legalization so close to home could provide government entities with the example they need to consider federal legalization in the future.
&nbsp;
For now, at least, Americans can celebrate Canadian cannabis legalization in spirit, provided they live in a legal US state, of course.

Cannabis Is Legal In Canada. Here’s What That Means For The US

Judges in Seattle, Washington have voted to throw out cannabis convictions from the years 1996 and 2010. This ruling comes 6 years after the state of Washington legalized cannabis for recreational use in 2012.
[video width="840" height="473" mp4="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/Seattle-Dismisses-Cannabis-Convictions-HIRES_11.mp4"][/video]
It is estimated that over 542 people could have their marijuana convictions reversed as early as November.
&nbsp;
Many have noted the significance of the Seattle judges' ruling, especially the impact the ruling will have on people of color.
&nbsp;
When advocating for the decision, City Attorney Pete Holmes pleaded with the judges to "right the injustices of a drug war that has primarily targeted people of color."
&nbsp;
The order states:
&nbsp;
"Possession of Marijuana charges prosecuted in Seattle Municipal Court between 1996 and 2010 disproportionately impacted persons of color in general, and the African American community in particular. Of the over 500 cases involved in this motion, the racial demographics of defendants were: 3% Asian, 46% black, 46% white, 3% Native American, 2% unknown. The Court makes no finding that these numbers are 100% accurate, or that individual defendants were specifically impacted because of their race."
&nbsp;
Seattle's Major, Jenny Durkan, is also in favor of the ruling, stating, "for too many who call Seattle home, a misdemeanor marijuana conviction or charge has created barriers to opportunity - good jobs, housing, loans, and education."
&nbsp;
Seattle joins San Francisco, which <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://blog.greenrush.com/san-francisco-expunge-marijuana-records/">recently voted</a> to throw out past cannabis convictions as well. California <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://blog.greenrush.com/recreational-weed-in-california/">legalized cannabis for recreational use</a> at the beginning of this year.
&nbsp;
Currently, nine states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for recreational use. In addition to this, a staggering 30 states have medical marijuana programs in place. Nevertheless, cannabis remains illegal at the federal level in the United States.
&nbsp;
The Seattle judges' decision will no doubt offer many Seattle residents a clean slate and a chance to take advantage of opportunities that were previously closed off to them.

Seattle Judges Vote To Vacate 15 Years Of Cannabis Convictions

<a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://blog.greenrush.com/las-vegas-weed-laws/">Las Vegas</a>, home to casinos galore, now has one more attraction to visit. <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="https://cannabition.com/">Cannabition</a>, a museum dedicated to all things marijuana, has opened in Sin City, which legalized cannabis for recreational use in 2017.
[video width="840" height="473" mp4="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/Las-Vegas-is-Opening-a-Cannabis-Museum-HIRES.mp4"][/video]
Cannabition is being touted as a made-for-social-media museum, similar to the hugely successful Museum of Ice Cream in New York. Visitors can snap an abundance of aesthetically pleasing photos to build out their Instagram feeds with. <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="https://cannabition.com/about/">According to the Cannabition website</a>, the exhibit is "designed to include larger-than-life exhibits that take visitors on a seed-to-experience journey that celebrates the art, culture, and history surrounding cannabis use in America and around the world."
&nbsp;
In line with Nevada's strict <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://blog.greenrush.com/las-vegas-weed-laws/">public consumption laws</a>, no one will be able to actually consume cannabis at the museum, however, it will serve as an homage to the cannabis plant and ultimately aim to educate the general public about the weed, its uses, and the burgeoning cannabis industry.
&nbsp;
Founder J.J. Walker told the Associated Press, "Our goal when people come out of this is that they don't fear the cannabis industry if they are not believers in the industry. Cannabition is not about just serving people that like marijuana, it's about serving the masses that want to learn about cannabis and/or just have fun and go to a cool art experience."
&nbsp;
The exhibition will include interactive 'rooms' where guests can learn about everything from the cultivation process to how concentrates are made. Cannabition will also feature a 24-foot-tall glass bong, fondly known as 'Bongzilla', which is set to provide visitors with a photo-op they likely won't forget in a hurry.
&nbsp;
As phone technology and social media become an increasingly unavoidable part of life, traditional attractions are struggling to keep up. The emergence of these highly interactive and photographable museums has resuscitated the museum industry. With cannabis becoming more widespread in the United States, it was only a matter of time before the industry joined in on the fun.
&nbsp;
So, if you're traveling to Las Vegas, it may be worth giving gambling a miss and checking out Sin City's newest cannabis attraction instead.

Cannabition, An Interactive Cannabis Museum, Is Opening In Las Vegas

If you haven't escaped to a tropical paradise, joint in hand and Jimmy Buffett playing in the background, chances are, your cannabis experience may be lacking. Now, Margaritaville's favorite musician is launching his very own line of medical marijuana.
&nbsp;
Jimmy Buffett has signed a deal with Surterra Wellness to license his brand, Coral Reefer, to their company. He currently licenses his brand to various other businesses, including several restaurants and hotels.
[video width="840" height="473" mp4="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/Jimmy-Buffet-is-launching-a-weed-brand-HIRES.mp4"][/video]
This new partnership will see products such as vapes, topicals, and tinctures emerge into the cannabis market and will be sold exclusively in Surterra Wellness stores.
&nbsp;
In a <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="https://www.surterra.com/press-releases/">statement</a> from Surterra, Buffett said, "cannabis is good medicine and should be made available to all who need it."
&nbsp;
"Surterra shares our vision of creating a cannabis wellness lifestyle brand the improves the health of millions of people around the world," said John Cohlan, Coral Reefer CEO.
&nbsp;
Surterra currently has medical marijuana licenses in both Florida and Texas and was founded in 2014.
&nbsp;
Surterra Wellness recently made headlines when William 'Beau' Wrigley, (yes, that Wrigley), joined the company as their new chairman. The former chairman of the famous chewing gum company joined Surterra in August, merely a month before the new partnership with Jimmy Buffett was announced.
&nbsp;
Jimmy Buffett fans outside of Florida and <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://blog.greenrush.com/texas-first-cannabis-dispensary-opening/">Texas</a> may have to wait to get their hands on his new medical marijuana line, however, Surterra does have plans to expand into other medically legal states.

Jimmy Buffett Is Launching His Own Medical Cannabis Line

A new partnership has emerged between biotech firm Gingko Bioworks Inc, and cannabis company Cronos Group Inc with the aim of producing genetically engineered cannabinoids.
&nbsp;
Gingko is working with Cronos, a Canadian company, to find a way in which to create cannabis <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://blog.greenrush.com/cannabinoids-medical-marijuana/">cannabinoids</a> independent of the cannabis plant.
[video width="840" height="473" mp4="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/A-New-Company-Announces-122-Million-to-Make-Lab-grown-Cannabis-HIRES-1.mp4"][/video]
Cannabis contains a number of beneficial cannabinoids, most notably, THC and <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/what-is-cbd-2/">CBD</a>, however, most of these cannabinoids exist in such small amounts that those wishing to benefit from them often need to consume flower in its entirety to feel any effects. Certain cannabinoids, such as delta-8-THC, are found in amounts that are still very low, even in whole flowers. However, this cannabinoid may still have significant therapeutic effects. Some research suggests that delta-8-THC may contribute to the death of cancer cells in certain patients.
&nbsp;
Gingko and Cronos aim to isolate these potentially life-altering cannabinoids and use their DNA sequences to produce large quantities of them independently of the cannabis plant. If successful, the results of this partnership could bring countless new cannabinoid-based medicines to the pharmaceutical industry and potentially change the state of the cannabis industry as well.

Some are cautious about the new partnership and the effects it could have on the burgeoning cannabis industry. Cultivators are among the concerned, as mass-produced cannabinoids will surely compete with grow operations already seeking to keep up with <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://blog.greenrush.com/california-cannabis-after-july-1/">increased demand</a>. Gingko and Cronos' partnership could shift the industry into a new, technologically-driven era, replacing the industry's historical focus on agriculture. If their work proves to be fruitful, Gingko and Cronos could also make the benefits of cannabis accessible to more people, as it is likely the federal government would be more inclined to legalize lab-produced cannabinoids.
&nbsp;
Gingko announced the $122 million deal this week, and will now have access to Cronos' Canadian-based labs to begin experimenting with the DNA of the marijuana plant.

New Gingko and Cronos Partnership Aims To Produce Lab-Grown Cannabis

A new survey has found that one in seven Americans used cannabis in 2017. The <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/2698115/smoking-vaping-use-edibles-other-forms-marijuana-among-u-s">report</a>, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, surveyed 16,280 U.S. adults from a range of ages and backgrounds and their cannabis use in the past year.

In total, 14.6 percent of those surveyed said they had used cannabis in the past year, and 8.7 percent admitted to cannabis use within the past month. The survey found that overall cannabis use was higher in states where recreational weed is legal; 20 percent compared to just 12 percent in illegal states. Medical use only states saw 14 percent say they had used cannabis in the past year.

The <a style="color: #007d6b;" href="http://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/2698115/smoking-vaping-use-edibles-other-forms-marijuana-among-u-s">survey</a> also looked into the method of cannabis use that had occurred across the country in the past year. Smoking was the clear winner, with 12.9 percent of those surveyed saying they had smoked weed in 2017. Edibles came in at 6 percent, vaping at 4.7 percent, and a small number of the group, 1.9 percent, admitted to using concentrates. Only 0.8 percent reported using topicals.
&nbsp;
Unsurprisingly, a larger number of young people used cannabis compared to old people. According to the survey's results, those between the ages of 18 and 34 had used cannabis the most in the past year.

As an increasing number of states legalize cannabis for either medical or recreational use, public concern is mounting as to whether local and state governments can keep up with the regulations needed to make legal products safe.
&nbsp;
Study co-author, Dr. Salomeh Keyhani (University of California, San Francisco) said, "There are increasingly novel forms of marijuana available and the risks of these products to health are unknown."
&nbsp;
The limited research on THC, the compound in cannabis responsible for the psychoactive 'high', is one of the areas Keyhani is most concerned about. "THC (the psychoactive component) is very high in some forms of marijuana, the concentrates, for example. We don't understand the impact of products with high THC."
&nbsp;
Cannabis use remains illegal under federal law, making it difficult for bodies to conduct extensive research on the plant. States, like California, for example, have implemented various regulations on cannabis products in an effort to control and regulate the legal market, and make products safe for consumers with the knowledge that is currently available. However, with an increasing number of Americans partaking in cannabis use, this most recent survey demonstrates that there may need to be more uniform standards put in place.
