How to Launch a Great Cannabis Cultivation Business in Record Time

Ryan Douglas was a master grower at Tweed Inc. and he recently authored the book: From Seed to Success: How to Launch a Great Cannabis Cultivation Business in Record Time. Mr. Douglas explains what it means to be a master grower. In his new book, he opens up about the elements of success that are only gained through experience, and the must-know facts for new growers. Launching a cannabis cultivation facility is no different than starting any other commercially produced agricultural crop, but the excitement and potential for big profits can lead to lapses in judgment that prove devastating for many start-ups. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. An entrepreneur does not need to be an expert grower to launch a thriving cultivation business, and most problems can be avoided through the application of basic business principles and good management practices. Get the inside view from the master whose proven record of success holds something for every business entrepreneur.

Vaccine Against Opioid Addiction?

Therese A. Kosten, Ph.D. is a professor of psychology at the University of Houston as well as: the  Director of Developmental, Cognitive, & Behavioral Neuroscience; Director of Michael C. Gibson Addiction Research Program; Principal Investigator of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience.  Dr. Kosten is doing amazing research on creating a vaccine for people who suffer from opioid addiction.  They are creating a vaccine against fentanyl by using the body’s immune system to develop antibodies against fentanyl.  This allows the body to fend off future use of the drug sequestering it in the blood so that it doesn’t reach the brain where is has all of its physiological and psychological effects.  Many people who turned to hard illegal drug use consumed substances that do what cannabis would never do, often need help.  This breakthrough research may offer a unique approach and unprecedented relief.

How Pot Got Legal

Wayne Justmann, sometimes called “the Godfather of Legal Weed,” he will forever be known as Patient #1 in the California medical marijuana program.  This pioneer in the cannabis legalization movement tell us that “All use of cannabis is medical.”  Wayne worked on the words of Proposition 215 in the years leading up to legalization in 1996.  This held that a patient, with a doctor’s recommendation or approval, could possess or cultivate cannabis for their illnesses and health related issues.   If you’re living in one of the 36 states which has legal marijuana, or one of the 16 states that permits growing and adult use for any reason, you may owe some debt of gratitude to Mr. Justmann.  He received the very first legal marijuana use card in the United States.  Hear the story of this pioneer trek toward legalization and the obstacles they faced.
