Pregnant women may need to think twice before using marijuana to ease morning sickness or relax their aching body — they could be putting their baby at risk. The American Medical Association (AMA) announced on Monday it will push for warnings to be added to medical and recreational pot products wherever they’re sold.  

Hemp or cannabis oil was used by numerous people for centuries, but it was banned in the second half of the 20th century, as a result of the rise of the billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry.

Rick Simpson is a mechanical engineer and a self-taught doctor, who was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2002 and fought this disease using this miraculous oil. Nowadays, he is one of the greatest world activists for legalization of hemp oil. Using this treatment, he has cured over 5,000 people.

Medical marijuana patients and advocates welcomed Governor Andrew Cuomo’s signing a bill last week that would expedite emergency access to medical marijuana for extremely sick people, most prominently children with severe seizure disorders. But the bill was necessary because there appears to be a slim chance that the state’s medical marijuana program will be ready to open by the January 7th deadline.

We're still just beginning to understand why some people become dependent on marijuana but others don't. Your genes could have a lot to do with it, a new study suggests.

A former chicken processing plant in Paris has a new lease on life.

After a $10-million renovation, the facility is now home to Kindcann – Canada’s newest licensed producer of medical marijuana.

Unlike illegal grow-ops, it wasn’t a matter of finding some quiet space and planting some crops.

Health Canada requires growers to meet strict regulations for security.

As a result, the Kindcann plant has a controlled-access security system, perimeter fencing, and nearly 40 surveillance cameras.

CEO Maxim Zavet says he understand why the government mandates such strict security measures.

“They want to make sure that the product’s not being diverted from the facilities and ending up on the street,” he said.

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent and neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta expressed his support for the importance of funding scientific research, while speaking at an event in Toronto on Monday.
