Weed is a growth industry. It's illegal in the United States at the Federal level, and in most countries around the world (with a few notable exceptions), but that hasn't stopped millions of people around the world from using cannabis for ritual, medical, and recreational purposes.

The cannabis industry, however, is in the middle of a historic transition. What was fragmented and informal is increasingly a professionalized, tech-enabled market poised for hyper growth in the United States.

Leafedin.Org is the only cannabis app on the market that focuses specifically on person to person networking in the marijuana industry, but also works for any other entities. LeafedIn stated it has in the range of ten thousand users using it to meet their cannabis product and marijuana employment needs anonymously.

A key metric of this success is the popularity of the Leafedin.org service in the Washington DC area, which is one of the best known examples of areas that lack the kind of technology and networking framework that LeafedIn.org provide, where it has already amassed almost a thousand daily users.

They say good fences make good neighbors. Then there are the fences that enclose the growing number of Oregon marijuana grow sites in Josephine County.

There are a lot of them. And they are often ugly, especially when topped by a couple feet of plastic.

Among those who are unhappy with the proliferation of Visqueen view blockers is Chris Locke, a Murphy landscape nursery owner who endures the sight of a neighbor’s fenced marijuana grow.

Locke, co-owner of Murphy Country Nursery, says the fences are ruining Josephine County’s rural landscape. They’re tall and typically made of wood, or wood topped with plastic. Many are easy to spot.

Failing in an effort to match the success of their Senate counterparts, House members on Tuesday watched as Republicans killed a budget amendment that would have prevented federal regulators from penalizing financial institutions that worked with legitimate marijuana businesses.

Though a Senate committee last week passed a similar amendment, House Republicans in the Rules Committee blocked any vote on the amendment proposed by Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Arvada, and Rep. Denny Heck of Washington to the Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act.

The bill makes appropriations to the Treasury, the Office of the President and other agencies.

Jobs are reportedly booming in Canada’s marijuana economy — both the legal one and the not-so-legal one.

There are dozens of ads, mostly in Toronto and Vancouver, for marijuana trimmers at legally sanctioned medical pot growers, or for "budtenders" who serve customers at the not-entirely-legal marijuana dispensaries that have popped up around those cities.

A new P.E.I.-based business is putting the squeeze on cannabis — literally.

Charlottetown's Advanced Extraction Systems Inc. has just sealed a deal with Canopy Growth, a medical marijuana company based out of Smiths Falls, Ont., to provide the equipment to extract cannabis oil directly from marijuana plants.

In a release, Canopy Growth chairman Bruce Linton said the deal will help meet a growing demand.

"Our extracted oil products have been very popular since being launched to our medical customers earlier this year," he said.

"Looking forward to a broader legal marijuana market, we know we'll need greater capacity and AESI's industrial-scale technology will help us meet the growing demand we're forecasting."

Webb Garrison wants to start his own cannabis business. He doesn't have any industry experience and he's only just building up his knowledge of the complicated regulations that govern the sector.

What he does have is a ready investor - his mum.

To get a better handle on the industry Webb and his mother Betty Garrison travelled for over an hour from their home on Long Island to the Cannabis World Congress in New York City.

They hoped visiting the booths and attending the conference's talks would highlight the industry's opportunities and hurdles - even if the products they hoped to sell were noticeably absent because of cannabis restrictions in New York.

It’s a beautiful place for marijuana.
