The cannabis industry in Puerto Rico is at a crossroads. Despite the economic and social potential the plant offers, one obstacle hinders its development: the banking sector. To understand this dilemma, we must first understand what a monopoly is. A monopoly occurs when a company or entity has exclusive control over a good or service, determining its price, quality, and availability. This happens when there is no direct competition, due to barriers to entry for new competitor

The use of cannabis products, especially CBD derivatives, has gained considerable attention in recent years. With this growing interest, the use of these products has extended beyond humans, finding a place in pet care. But is it truly safe and effective to administer microdoses of cannabis to our pets? And if so, how should we approach it? First, it's crucial to understand that while there are reports from pet owners claiming cannabis has helped their animals with everything

1. Origin of "Halloween Marijuana": In reality, the idea that people give out cannabis-laced candy on Halloween is mostly a myth. Cannabis candy is generally expensive, and there are no documented cases of people randomly handing it out to children. However, this has led to regular police warnings on the subject, which has helped perpetuate the myth. 2. Consumption patterns: According to several surveys and studies, cannabis consumption tends to increase during Halloween. Thi

The cannabis industry has flourished in recent years, as more countries and states legalize its use for both medicinal and recreational purposes. However, despite the industry's exponential growth, a key piece of the business puzzle remains elusive: the inclusion of the banking sector. It's time to rethink this relationship. First, it's important to understand that the cannabis industry is not a niche market. According to Grand View Research, the global cannabis market is exp

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), in a significant call to action, has expressed its support for the Safe Banking and Fair Compliance with Regulations Act of 2023, known as the SAFER Banking Act. This decision reflects a strong, bipartisan stance in favor of reforming the federal banking system to enable legal cannabis businesses to access the banking services necessary for their safe and sustainable operation. To date, 47 states, along with the District o

This culture cultivates relationships, unbreakable bonds that only generate growth and hope for a clearer future.

Imagine a Puerto Rico where cannabis is legal, decriminalized, and accepted. Where wanting to take a hit is as acceptable as having a glass of wine or a beer. Where smoking a blunt doesn't ruin your life or destroy your career. Where having marijuana doesn't take away your car, your children, or your freedom. This plant, which liberates and fixes everything, is one that, for now, without permission, the government condemns. The morning haze or the traveler—such is the importa

When did you discover Cannabis in your life? Ummmmmmm?! In the 1970s, marijuana use was illegal, yet it was widely used by members of my generation both in and outside of Puerto Rico. It was the era of Flower Power, the Vietnam War, and many other struggles taking place around the world. Back then, smoking it was the only option… and we smoked it to have a good time, have fun, laugh, relax, and boost our creativity… I had a friend who, after smoking, would almost fall asleep

Mandarin Cookies, a sticky hybrid that scents the air wherever you are. It delivers a potent narcotic effect, but won't leave you couch-locked until the "low" kicks in, which is straight to bed. It's a delight for the palate, as the peppery and mandarin flavors provide that essential touch. It's an Ethos Genetics cross of the Ethos Cookies x Mandarin Sunset R1 strains. Its effect is potent and physically relaxing, and being a high-THC variety, it can alter sensory perception.

There's a lot of controversy surrounding what's used for consumption when we talk about cannabis flower: the bud, the flower, the fruit. The key is knowledge and asking experts. This way, we can understand the differences between the flower, the trim, and the shake, and be aware of what we consume. Keep in mind that the trim may seem the same or similar, with a more appealing quantity, but it ceases to be healthy if you vaporize or smoke it. Here are the different parts of th
