Global Cannabis and CBD News Roundup YouTube
Hi,

'The Cannabis Substitution Effect' signifies a shift in consumer behavior, as many opt for cannabis over conventional pharmaceutical products for their medical needs. It's unsettling Big Pharma, whose profit concerns rise fast as Americans make the swap. Senator Elizabeth Warren advocates for cannabis legislation that prevents corporate giants like Amazon and Big Tobacco from dominating the industry.

Canada's cannabis surplus inventory has reached an astounding 1.5M kg. This glut poses grave implications for the industry's profitability and sustainability. Maybe they should donate cannabis to countries that don't have legalization programs. :)

Feel free to subscribe to our Cannabis or CBD News Roundups.

Best regards,
Jessica
