Every year, we hear the same old myth about laced Halloween candy. But it’s just that—a myth, not a truth.

With every Halloween that passes, articles and news coverage warning parents about finding cannabis-infused edibles in their kid’s candy bags are revived. The fact is that these warnings and tall tales, while issued with good intentions, are simply not rooted in truth.

Who will win bragging rights for the Best of Ontario Cannabis?

Recently we finished our annual Best of the Western Treasure Valley readers’ choice contest, and during the nomination phase, we asked you if there were any categories you think we missed. Well, we had a runaway winner for that award. Overwhelmingly, our readers said they wanted to vote for their favorite cannabis retailers.

When we considered it, we thought it made a lot of sense. After all, it has been well over a year ago when governors across the country declared that cannabis and CBD establishments were essential retailers, and they stayed open. And we got through a very strange year, together. These businesses made our comfort and our relief essential to them, so why wouldn’t we give our readers, neighbors and friends the chance to say thank you?
