Every place that has legalized cannabis has created new jobs and generated revenue, usually exceeding expectations. As cannabis reforms sweep across the world, we can expect to see more advances by the industry, nation by nation, as countries take a familiar path of decriminalizing personal use, legalizing medical programs, and eventually legalizing for all adults….
There are many factors that could go into judging a cannabis social club scene, from the quality of the cannabis to the progressive laws that allow you to truly relax to the variety of products available, especially if you’re someone that enjoys concentrates or extracts.

Less than six weeks after Canopy Growth announced that UK exports were on their agenda this year, a small British start-up, Grow Biotech, has just pulled off one of the first cannabis start-up victories of the year.
