Colin Davies opening a cannabis cafe on Tariff St in Manchester.

Cannabis campaigner Colin Davies is planning to open a hemp oil shop in Manchester. 

He has teamed up with a businessman in Holland to sell oil containing CBD (cannabidiol) which is legal and is said to help people with medical conditions like epilepsy.

It does not contain another extract of the plant called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the part of the plant that makes people ‘high’ in large doses.

“It’s legal, it’s good stuff and it works,” Colin, 57, from Romiley, told the M.E.N. speaking about the CBD oil.

Most businesses require special skills and qualifications from interested applicants applying for a position. But imagine applying for a job that requires you to only wake up and show up to work on time, and also involves no previous experience.

That is only one of the benefits of applying for a job in the cannabis industry.

This week, the Southwest Cannabis Conference and Expo is taking place at the Phoenix Convention Center and providing information, awareness and education about medical marijuana and its growth.

Just who in the heck is Rick Kirk?
  If Issue 3 indeed becomes law, and you reside in Franklin County and a marijuana user, Kirk is going to be growing your legal green, selling you your legal green, and taking your monetary green.

  Kirk is one of the 20 primary investors aligned with ResponsibleOhio, the “AstroTurf” effort behind Issue 3. The Columbus-based strategy group has said it will spend at least $20 million to get the investor-backed constitutional amendment passed.

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -

As the cannabis industry grows, competition for customers is fierce.

An Ashland-based company says their technology can help set products apart.

N2 Packaging LLC seals and preserves marijuana in cans using nitrogen, claiming the product has a longer shelf life.

“They know it's going to be good for as long as they keep it in their dresser, or the cabinet or wherever. It's not going to go stale or dry on them,” said Luke Olsen, the company’s retail sales manager.

Olsen and a partner have their own product line called The Factory.

N2 Packaging received a patent to hermetically seal controlled substances in an altered environment last October.

Erie officials are moving forward with a townwide ban on recreational marijuana businesses following heated debate during Tuesday's meeting.

The board was divided over two options aimed at prohibiting marijuana operations in Erie.

An informal tally by Mayor Tina Harris found four officials in favor of the ban and three favoring a yearlong extension of the town's existing moratorium, which expires Dec. 31.

The board did not take an official vote on the ordinance, but asked staff to bring the ban back for a vote at its next meeting Nov. 10.

PIERRE, S.D. — The Flandreau Santee Sioux's plans to sell marijuana in a lounge on tribal land will likely thrust the issue before legislators in the upcoming session, the head of the State-Tribal Relations Committee said Monday.

The committee discussed the tribe's marijuana operation, which is scheduled to open New Year's Eve. Democratic Sen. Troy Heinert, the committee chairman, said he hopes the Santee Sioux and nontribal authorities can find common ground.

Republican Sen. Craig Tieszen said the situation is a "jurisdictional and enforcement nightmare" since marijuana is illegal under state law, and Attorney General Marty Jackley has said any changes in tribal laws won't affect any non-Indians or any nontribal lands.

“Make no mistake, we will defend our business and our employees who work very hard to make our business a success,” Bergin said in an email to BusinessDen.

Some lawyers recognize that not all of their clients are capable of paying for legal services in cash. That’s where the bartering system comes in. Say, for example, your house has some faulty wiring and a potential client would like to trade his electrical services for your representation in his divorce. Of course you’re going to take that deal in lieu of money.
