A Columbia University study published in the journal Lancet Psychiatry has found that medical cannabis laws have not increased cannabis consumption in adolescents—one of the major bugaboos that opponents of legalization in its various forms have used against even medical marijuana laws. Using data from a national, annual survey called Monitoring the Future, researchers from the Mailman School of Public Health
Growing cannabis in areas of serious drought without using too much water requires some infrastructure you wouldn’t normally think of for a garden. Here are some great tips to minimize water losses due to high winds and to make sure your precious product in the trichomes doesn’t get eroded off your buds. Prevailing or gusty winds can seriously, and unnecessarily, increase
Nobody wants to use pesticides on their pot plants. Check out this simple method of releasing and maintaining a healthy population of ladybugs that will kill and prevent spider mites in your indoor garden. It doesn’t matter if you grow the cannabis for yourself or for sale to dispensaries, nobody feels right inhaling even a little vapor off some chemicals
New research has shown us further concrete evidence that cannabis can treat severe motor and vocal tics in those suffering from Tourette syndrome. The latest research out of the Department of Psychiatry at Tauranga Hospital in New Zealand used Sativex, a whole plant extract of cannabis made by GW Pharmaceuticals, to see how well cannabis worked to control motor and
State regulations in Colorado and Washington only allow pesticides in cannabis gardens similar to those permitted for organic farms. Treatments of soapy water and neem oil work, but most gardeners find them hard to rely on. Nobody wants nasty chemical pesticides in their herb, so what functional alternative do they have? Predatory insects, but you have to know how to
Grow bibles all recommend using filtered water for obvious reasons, but be careful picking your filtration method. Any reverse osmosis water filtration unit smaller than an industrial-scale unit wastes three to seven times the clean water it delivers! Especially if you live in a drought-stricken state like California, you should use RO’s water-efficient alternative: whole-house activated carbon filtration. After decades
Many readers may have already heard of the potential benefits of supplementing soil or hydro cannabis plants with silicon in the form of silicates or silicic acid. Some controversy surrounds the true role of silicon in plant metabolism, but a few things we know for sure. Check out the facts and find out if a silicon supplement is really necessary
Psychiatric researchers from Columbia University Medical Center in New York City have discovered that cannabis produces greater pain-relieving effects in men than in women. This adds to the growing body of evidence showing differences in cannabis’ effects on women and men. Sex differences in the effects of many drugs change how people take or prescribe them. Cannabis influences systems in
Check out this cheap and simple method of growing beneficial fungus—mycorrhizae—and spreading it to your indoor or outdoor cannabis crop. Instead of purchasing a packaged inoculant, you can use naturally occurring fungus from your yard or any forest. If you’ve ever seed up a chunk of soil where roots grow, you might have noticed how an intricate root system branched
In a follow-up study of previous research from John Hopkins University, scientists have concluded that the addiction-fighting properties of psilocybin keep ex-smokers away from cigarettes even 16 months after stopping treatment. Psychiatry researchers recruited 15 lifetime smokers at an average age of 50 years old who smoked a pack of cigarettes per day. Over the 30+ years of smoking, all
Unlike other substances, smoking weed actually does make you cool. Literally. Don’t let yourself roast in your AC-deficient apartment, just get baked and you’ll find it helps you stay cool when you most need to. That’s right, getting high lowers your body temperature. Did you know hot drinks cool you down and cold drinks heat you up? Some remedies for
All gardeners need to consider the environmental impacts that they may have by choosing one method or substrate over another. Many staples of hydroponics and soilless container growing come from strip mines that destroy natural habitats like rain forests or peat bogs. Media such as perlite, vermiculite and expanded clay pellets (hydroton) all come from strip mines. Strip, or surface,
