When it comes to getting high on marijuana, the conventional wisdom is that one of two species of the plant—cannabis sativa or cannabis indica—will determine whether you get an up high or you get couch lock. (A third species, cannabis ruderalis, has also been identified, but it doesn’t have much psychoactive effect and is more hemp-like.)

There is a good bit of truth to the conventional wisdom—indicas do tend to produce stuporous, narcotized highs, while sativas tend to produce giddy, exhilarating ones—but there’s a bit more to it than that. And those relying on the good old sativa = up / indica = down as a guide may find themselves in for a surprise.

Like most people, Natalie Houston knows what it’s like to fight procrastination. It’s what inspired her to become what she is now: A productivity coach.

There are research-proven strategies you can use to create better habits and support your best work.”

One of those habits is that you must stop believing and adhering to a lot of myths about the workplace. The falsehoods that are out there are rules that do not apply to everyone, as well as practices that have actually been proven to be detrimental to workplace success.

The first stocked medical marijuana dispensary in Las Vegas is preparing to open its doors.

Releaf Dispensary on Monday interviewed potential employees. About a thousand people applied for 40 available positions.

Applicant Thomas Orton admitted that he sold illegally for most of his life. Now he wants to do things the right way.

“I’ve been an advocate of its abilities and properties from probably my early 20s,” Orton said.

Orton chose to move with his wife from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas.

In an effort to make pot-infused products more distinguishable for consumers, edible marijuana products in Colorado may soon come with octagon-shaped red warning labels, according to a draft of new rules released Wednesday by state marijuana regulators.

Multiple instances of people unwittingly consuming marijuana edibles have been reported, including one case where a man ended up in the hospital at the 2014 Denver County Fair.

The prospect of children accidentally consuming pot products is especially concerning to many, and state regulators are also looking into banning the word “candy” on cannabis-infused sweets – even ones that are otherwise usual chocolate or gummies.

Jamaicans want to capitalize on a homegrown industry, but who will see the profits?

“It’s budding with excitement — pun intended,” he said, giggling. “I mean, there [are] huge opportunities now opening up.”
