Legal Marijuana in Focus: Nevada
Just because pot is
legal in your state doesn't mean you should start stocking up. The federal
government promised not to criminalize pot possession and use as long as state
law permits it, but pot still remains an illicit substance. Dispensaries
are frequently faced with the task of controlling the distribution of pot and
pot-infused consumables.
To put it briefly: Keep
your sins in check in Sin City…and the rest of Nevada.

Georgia Might Open Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in the Near Future
To this day, Georgia counts itself among the 24 states that have yet to legalize medical marijuana. A new bill seeks to change that, however. According to WSBTV, Senator Curt Thompson from DeKalb County filed a bill last December 3 with the intent of making the drug available to those who need it and thereby generate more revenue that can be funneled toward infrastructure and education. His bill closely mirrors Colorado’s marijuana law, presumably because that’s where some families from Georgia obtain medical marijuana. Should Senator Thompson’s bill weather all opposition and be passed into law, Georgia will be the 24th state to allow medical marijuana dispensaries to operate.

How a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Upholds Pediatric Patients’ Safety
For some children, medical marijuana can be life-changing. A toddler with an epileptic disorder, for instance, can be treated with the drug to minimize the frequency of seizures, thereby leading to a better quality of life. With his or her suffering reduced, the child’s parents can also breathe a sigh of relief. Similarly, the drug can benefit children suffering from cancer and other diseases with elusive cures. Not surprisingly, parents and organizations around the country are advocating for medical marijuana legalization. After all, not a few parents have driven across states just to get the recommended doses for their children. Some families, in fact, have moved permanently to states where they can obtain legal medical marijuana.

Marijuana Can Ease the Pain of Loneliness?
Loneliness
is a disease—it’s far more harmful to health than most people
realize. Being lonely could lower the immune system, making a person
more susceptible to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s,
and depression. According to science, loneliness could even increase
an individual’s chances of an early death by 14 percent.
Indeed—loneliness
is a disease, and scientists and psychologists are pretty much aware
of that. Many of them have sought and researched a variety of
approaches to reduce the effects of chronic loneliness. One of the
unexpected findings is that medical marijuana sold at dispensaries
can be used to ease the pain of loneliness, social exclusion, and low
self-esteem in people.
