Kush, an emerging leader in the Cannabis and Hemp marketplace, has announced plans to file an information statement pursuant to Regulation A for consideration by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Upon being declared effective, Kush will conduct a Regulation A offering of its common stock and thereafter seek a stock trading symbol for its common shares. Management believes these steps will enable Kush to aggressively expand its current business and product development plans. The filing reflects the fast growing investment trends in the multi­billion dollar Medical, Industrial and Adult Use Cannabis markets in the United States.

This year’s Earth Day event will include something never before seen in Reno – a medical marijuana informational section. Dubbed the “Cannabis Clinic,” it will include Nevada Botanical Science, the Nevada Medical Marijuana Association and area dispensaries.

Earth Day event starts April 23 at 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Idlewild Park.

“We know people have a lot of questions so we’re coming together at this event to answer them,” Nevada Botanical Science COO Bob Summers said in a press release. “Anyone over the age of 18 can stop by, visit with medical professionals and let us know what’s on their mind.”

Many of my firm’s cannabis clients are raising money right now. Out-of-state investors looking for a place to deploy capital are looking hard at Oregon (which recently abolished residency requirements to participate in its cannabis industry), and some are already starting to lay the groundwork for pending recreational legalization in Nevada and California. Even more established markets, like Washington and Colorado, are seeing an uptick in corporate entities trying to bring in new money.

Americans are more supportive of marijuana legalization than ever before, and that support has led to 23 states passing medical marijuana laws and another four states legalizing recreational marijuana use. In November, voters in states including California, Florida, Massachusetts, and Nevada could weigh in on the issue too. With advocates ramping up their efforts to win support for marijuana legalization in these states, let's take a closer look.

A licensed Nevada marijuana grower is naming one of his new potent strains after the state lawmaker he thinks helped make medical marijuana possible.

Segerblom championed the medical marijuana cause in the 2013 Nevada Legislature. He says he agreed to have his name on the strain in hopes of eliminating negative perceptions about marijuana.The Las Vegas Sun reports that on Friday Euphoria Wellness in Las Vegas will begin selling Segerblom Haze in honor of Sen. Tick Segerblom. The strain has 27 percent THC, making it the dispensary's second most potent strain.

Segerblom says he does not have a medical marijuana card and will not be sampling his namesake, though he will be at the dispensary Friday morning when it goes on sale.

By the end of this year, several more states in the U.S. could be among those who have legalized cannabis for medical and recreational purposes. Of course, their success is up to the activists and voters in each state. If you’re in one of these states, here is what you need to know.

States where recreational legalization is on the ballot: Nevada

States where medical legalization is on the ballot: Florida

States where activists are going through the legislature or attempting to make the ballot for recreational or medical legalization: California, Vermont, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, Rhode Island, Maine, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Utah, Arkansas

Daily Stock Reporter is issuing a report on four stocks to watch. VAPE, HEMP, TRTC, and CBIS have been added to our watchlist yesterday.

A $1 billion electric car plant and a futuristic transportation test track are among developments North Las Vegas hopes will pay off and diversify its economy.

There’s another, greener, economic development that officials hope will fatten the city’s wallet.

The city has received more state provisional licenses for growing and producing medical marijuana products than Henderson and Las Vegas combined. The financially ailing city hopes those licenses lead to big bucks.

State law currently limits Clark County to 40 licensed dispensaries, including four in North Las Vegas, but there is no limit on grow houses or production operations.

Ever wonder how your state stands up to the others in terms of marijuana tolerance? We don't mean how much your state can smoke, but how tolerant the locals are toward cannabis. The real-estate website Estately has the answer. 

Using specialized metrics, they put together rankings for all 50 states in their "Marijuana Enthusiasm Index." The criteria are: the percentage of monthly marijuana users, the average price of cannabis, the average number of marijuana-related Google searches, the legal status of marijuana and expressions of public interest (based on Facebook user data). 

Here are five interesting findings.

Because he’s a scientist, not a back-slapping venture capitalist, Mowgli Holmes loathes using the term networking to describe even the portion of his job that entails shaking hands in the cannabis industry. But it was networking that brought the chief scientific officer of Phylos Bioscience in Portland, Oregon, to Las Vegas in November 2014 to attend the Marijuana Business Conference and Expo—and to smoke a massive joint with one of the cannabis movement’s legends, Ohio lawyer Don Wirtshafter.
