Reportedly the largest such show in New England, attendees received advice on advocating for the drug, growing and handling legal issues.

Medical marijuana advocates, some of whom say it is the only thing that stops their children’s seizures or credit it with making their own lives better by allowing them to stop taking harder pharmaceutical drugs, urged their fellow patients and caregivers at a medical marijuana trade show Sunday to stand up for their rights and fight against the stigma of their medicine.

A CBS poll of Americans just last month found that 56% of voters believe marijuana use should be legal. Instead of investing in volatile and illiquid OTC-traded marijuana stocks, consider creative alternatives GW Pharmaceuticals PLC- ADR (GWPH), 22nd Century Group Inc (XXII) and Altria Group Inc (MO).

Season Three breaks records with $20 million available to Ganjapreneurs in capital investment.

Cannabis technologies of all kinds have come a long way in even just a few short years. For one instance, we’ve talked about LED lights in the past. As previously mentioned, LED lights and induction lights are excellent for cloning and vegetative state, but not for flowering at this point. There was a time, though, that LED lights weren’t good to use at any stage of the cannabis growing process. Innovative tech companies will no doubt get LED lights to the point where they’re great for flowering; but as of right now, you’ll likely be hard pressed to find large scale facilities using an LED bank over their flowering plants.

Is there software in the burgeoning legal marijuana industry? Just a dab. With four states offering legal marijuana, and more than 20 with medical or decriminalized cannabis laws, the business of selling the plant and its derivatives is growing every year.

Naturally, software developers, vendors and startups alike are all looking to cash in on the boom. Silicon Valley, itself located in a state with legalized medical marijuana, has even produced a few pot startups.

Leafly, for example, offers an index of pot shops, crowdsourced information on the powers and effects of various strains, and coverage of the industry as a whole, no different than a wine blog or beer magazine.

Michael Berger, the Associate Editor of MoneyShow.com, is a leading expert on the cannabis sector, highlights the fastest growing licensed medical cannabis producer and views the company as a buy opportunity after reporting its third quarter earnings.

As cannabis continues to become mainstream, more investors will become attracted to the sector and look for investment opportunities within it.

The new collaboration will allow both companies to ensure the widest range of cannabis-related news and information reaches a rapidly-growing global audience.

The WeedLife Network, a business social network and digital marketplace with more than 40 websites and app tools developed for the cannabis industry, is announcing an information partnership with 420Intel.com – as part of the network’s mission to rapidly distribute essential information to those interested in the ever-developing legal cannabis industry.

DeepCell Industries, a Seattle startup that helps develop technology for cannabis-infused products and brands, has raised $410,000 to fuel growth.

DeepCell doesn’t engage in the manufacture or distribution of cannabis products. Instead, the company develops the technology and then licenses it to distribution partners.

DENVER, June 1, 2016 -- Over 100 Colorado retailers are using LeafLink.com, an online ordering platform for the cannabis industry, to order products from more than a dozen marijuana infused product brands, including Keef Cola, Dixie Elixirs, Cannapunch, Wana Brands, Foria, and ZOOTS. The platform, which launched in March, is designed exclusively for the cannabis industry, meaning that each retailer on the platform must have a valid license from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED).

My earliest memory is of my first job. I worked in my family’s junkyard. My first task was to drag around a magnet by a string to pick up any nails and screws that could pop a tire. I took pride in it. I collected the nuts, screws and metal shavings from my trusty magnet and kept them as tiny trophies. My elementary school friends would talk about their chores with disgust. When they asked me what my allowance was, I would tell them “I don’t get an allowance. I have a job. I save tires.”
