The world of cannabis and its derivatives continues evolving, with new compounds emerging frequently. So, it’s only natural to wonder, what is HHC vs THC? Two such compounds, HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), have gained significant attention for their properties and effects, sparking curiosity among both recreational and medicinal users. These cannabinoids, while sharing some similarities, possess distinct characteristics that set them apart in terms of their chemical structure, legal status, and how they interact with the human body. To fully grasp “what is hhc vs thc”, we need to understand each compound’s origin, effects, and legal standing. This comprehensive…

Nevada regulators have officially adopted a rule change that will protect athletes from being penalized for using or possessing marijuana in compliance with state law. While the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) voted to send the regulatory amendment to the governor last year, they were also required to go through a separate rulemaking process to codify the policy, submitting it to the legislature’s Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB) in May. With that process completed, the commission—which regulates unarmed combat sports such as boxing and mixed martial arts within the state—voted on Tuesday to formally adopt the revised language. However, there are…

Track and field phenomenon Sha’Carri Richardson on Saturday qualified for the 2024 Olympics, three years after the star sprinter was disqualified from the U.S. team because of a positive drug test for THC metabolites. Richardson’s win in a qualifying event sets the stage for her to run in this year’s Summer Olympic Games, which kick off in Paris on July 26. Richardson took the top spot in the 100-meter sprint at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon, winning the race with this year’s world-leading time of 10.71 seconds. After a sluggish start in the race, Richardson…

The cannabis plant contains a number of different cannabinoids, with the two most well-known cannabinoids being tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). A growing number of medical and adult-use cannabis products contain both cannabinoids, leading to new questions about how THC and CBD interact with each other. A team of researchers based in the Netherlands and the United States recently conducted a study examining the effects of combined THC and CBD usage. The researchers are affiliated with the Centre for Human Drug Research (Leiden), Verdient Science, Tomori Pharmacology, and the University of Vermont. The results of the team’s study were published…

“We continue to look forward to working with the governor and legislature to expand access to safe lab-tested cannabis for Floridians.” By Christine Sexton, Florida Phoenix Florida is finally awarding 22 highly sought-after medical marijuana licenses nearly 18 months after the applications were submitted and reviewed by state authorities. The state’s medical marijuana industry is tightly regulated and only those with a license can cultivate, process, and sell medical marijuana. The state announced its decision to award the 22 additional licenses Tuesday after 5 p.m., on the eve of the state being closed in advance of Thanksgiving. Once the decision…

Oregon’s Measure 119 passed last week, as expected. This means that as of December 5th, every OLCC licensed retailer, processor, researcher and testing lab must secure a labor peace agreement before OLCC will approve a new or renewal license application. The labor peace agreement must be with a “bona fide labor organization.” I previewed M119 back in September, explaining: Compulsory peace agreements aren’t anything new in cannabis, although it would be something different here in Oregon. California, for example, requires labor peace agreements for many of its cannabis licensees, and has for many years. We had clients struggle with the concept…

By Craig Stevens Illegal drugs and their transport are constantly evolving. Cocaine and weed shipments have been entering the United States from Central and South America via a range of methods, with seagoing craft being one of the most popular. First there were fishing boats, then “go-fasts” (speedboats mounted with multiple engines). Once these started succumbing to improved detection, drug cartels developed the semi-submersible “narco sub”—which is now making way for the full-scale submarine. In 2010, authorities in Ecuador announced that they had seized an actual submarine designed for smuggling drugs. “It is the first fully functional, completely submersible submarine…

Photo: eskystudio / Shutterstock Only a few years ago, financial services were a rare luxury for cannabis companies in the United States. Few were able to secure even a basic bank account, and those that could find an institution willing to take the risk of working with a business that trafficks in federally illegal goods faced compliance hurdles and exorbitant service fees.  Even when companies secured banking relationships, many experienced sudden account closures for reasons that often weren’t explained well, if at all. More recently, however, financial institutions—particularly credit unions and regional banks—have been more receptive to cannabis clients. Today,…

A new review of scientific research on the lesser-known cannabinoid cannabigerol (CBG) says the compound has the “potential to modulate multiple physiological processes,” which could give it “therapeutic power to alleviate various conditions, including cancer, metabolic, pain, and inflammatory disorders, among others.” “CBG has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent with a diverse range of effects,” says the new paper, published this month in the journal Molecules. “Although research on CBG is still in its early stages, its unique molecular mechanism and promising therapeutic profile warrant further exploration.” The research looks not only at the potential effects of CBG but…
