This landmark cannabis bill is great news for marijuana stocks

Investors would probably struggle to find an industry that's growing at a faster and more consistent pace than legal marijuana.

Last year alone, according to cannabis research firm ArcView, North American legal pot sales jumped 34% to $6.9 billion. ArcView estimates that legal sales could top $22 billion by 2021, with investment firm Cowen & Co. expecting legal sales to hit $50 billion by 2026. Regardless of what estimate you choose to believe, the legal marijuana industry is growing by between 20% and 30% a year. That type of consistent long-term growth is certainly appealing to investors.

For the rest of the clip, almost everyone is using a Kandypen.

High hopes for sunglasses made from cannabis plants

Fields of cannabis could soon be carpeting the Borders countryside if ambitious new plans get off the ground.

But not because an international drugs cartel is expanding into Scotland – it’s down to a young entrepreneur and his green design and manufacturing business.

Sam Whitten grew up in the village of Broughton in Peeblesshire and studied product design at Glasgow Caledonian University.

The 25-year-old has recently started his own firm making handcrafted luxury sunglasses and fashion accessories. He plans to move into jewellery, clothing and even sustainable architecture in the next couple of years.

And it’s all made out of cannabis, or hemp – industrial-grade, which won’t get you high.

Benefits of Using Cannabis as a Rotation Crop in Farming

Diversity is key to keeping agricultural land nutrient-rich and sustainable for farming. Cultivators who do not take the devastating effects of mono-cropping, the practice of growing the same crop year after year, into consideration are prone to being left with weak, infertile soil. Because of this, farmers must utilize harmful chemical fertilizers and other unnatural methods to ensure conduciveness and consistent crop yields.

Breaking the vicious cycle that comes with mono-cropping requires planting companion crops after a certain period (rotation cropping) or simultaneously planting various companion crops on the same field (intercropping). Today, we’ll explore both options for outdoor growers who are interested in long-term cannabis cultivation strategies.
