Marijuana has finally gone mainstream in the US. The drug, which is now legal in some form in nearly two-dozen states and the District of Columbia, after nearly a century of prohibition, has even had endorsements from CNN and FOX News – both have been touting its health benefits. And, “as legalisation has begun to pick up steam” as one report put it earlier this month, “women are finally coming out of the cannabis closet”, both as users and as ganjapreneurs.

SensiBilisation proudly presents the third chapter of the series, featuring world-famous comedian, actor, writer, director, musician, and dedicated cannabis spokesperson Tommy Chong!

Sensi Seeds interviewed Tommy Chong during a ‘Weed & Greet’ in the Netherlands, presented by Futurola and RollingStoned. Our talk with Tommy clearly demonstrated that his knowledge  and dedication to the cannabis plant go far beyond the funny side of it alone. All of this and more will be shared with you in the upcoming episodes of SensiBilisation.

The historic boom in biotechnology over the past few years has driven up demand for laboratory space in the nation’s hottest markets, sending rents soaring and vacancy rates plummeting. Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO) is working on new solutions to help ease the scarcity.

“The explosion in demand for laboratory space driven by the biotech sector has had a ripple effect across a number of industries,” said GTSO CEO Wallace W. Browne. “Out West, especially, startups and smaller businesses are having difficulty securing the lab space and services that they need to operate. Our company is taking steps towards a possible solution to that problem.”

While the federal government maintains a blanket ban on marijuana, recreational marijuana is already legal in four states and the District of Columbia. In addition, 23 states, as well as D.C., have legalized marijuana for medical purposes.

And with at least 10 more states expected to consider legalization in some form by 2016, the next president of the United States will almost certainly have to reckon with the disparity between state and federal law on marijuana.

After more than a year of legislative struggle, the Colorado legislature has finally passeda bill aimed at reforming the state’s loosely regulated medical marijuana caregiver system.

Proponents of SB 14 believe that it will add more structure and security to a system with little oversight, and those opposed to the measure believe that it will disrupt the lives of patients and limit access to medical marijuana.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (HEATHER FAZIO) The Texas State Senate approved a bill 26-5 on Thursday that is intended to allow qualifying patients with intractable seizure conditions to access a marijuana extract containing high levels of cannabidiol, or CBD, and only trace levels of THC. SB 339, introduced by Sen. Kevin Eltife (R-Tyler), will now be considered by the state House of Representatives.

Roger and Lora Barbour have seen their daughter, Genny, make incredible strides since they started giving her physician-prescribed medical marijuana last September to ease her seizures.

For one thing, she can now say "I love momma!" and "I love dada!" Before, Genny could only manage a single word at a time, like "eat," "drink," or "bathroom."

"She blossomed into a child who, the other day, she walked into my office and said, 'I love you,' " Roger, 50, of Maple Shade, New Jersey, tells PEOPLE. "My wife and I looked at each other, and both started crying."

But Genny, 16, who has epilepsy and autism, needs a dose of medical marijuana oil four times a day to remain stable. If she misses a dose, she becomes agitated and even self-harming, her parents say.

A new study involving 213 children and adults suffering from the debilitating symptoms associated with epilepsy has been published.

This study set out to prove that medical marijuana contains properties able to fight against the extreme symptoms of epilepsy.

Seizures are scary for all involved; the patient themselves, their family and friends that witness the overpowering convulsions and unstoppable muscular spasms.

Grand Mal seizures originate from abnormal electrical activity throughout the brain. The Grand Mal is not specifically associated with epileptics however; extremely low blood pressure, head trauma, drug abuse, high fevers and strokes can also be triggers.

As legal marijuana gains favor across the country, how do we make sure kids don't get their hands on it?

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health suggest looking at the alcohol and tobacco industries as guideposts.
