Hi,

In California, a new grant program will provide $20M to expand cannabis retail licensing in jurisdictions that don’t have dispensaries. This is great news for patients in areas with limited access to legal cannabis, and hopefully, will motivate the squares that run these cities. ;)

A recent analysis for 91K cannabis users suggests that using cannabis may lead to lower blood pressure levels. While further research is needed, this is promising news for those looking for alternative treatment for hypertension.

Twitter made headlines by being the first major social network to accept cannabis advertising. I can’t help but think this has something to do with the new CEO, Elon Musk, being a cannabis user who likes to annoy the feds. ;) However, despite allowing advertisements related to cannabis, Twitter still won't allow cannabis product sales to be advertised on its platform. Nevertheless, this is solid progress in the marketing of cannabis on social media. :)

I hope your week is rad!
