What does cannabis look like? Marijuana is the most common form. It consists of dried leaves and flowers. Hashish hash is small blocks of dried resin, ranging in colour from light brown to nearly black. THC levels in hashish are higher than marijuana. Hash oil is a thick golden brown to black liquid that is extracted from hashish. Hash oil also has higher levels of THC than marijuana.
Investors seem less likely to connect with the sectors that women and minorities serve, and apply rigid definitions in determining whether those business owners fit their portfolio. Medicinal cannabis has been legal since December but only for patients with terminal illnesses or chronic pain carrying a prescription for cannabis-derived treatments. Recreational cannabis, on the other hand, remains illegal after 51 per cent of eligible voters in October rejected the government's proposal to permit the illicit drug's sale, use, possession and production.
Operating to some of the world's strictest quality standards since the Ministry of Health's medicinal cannabis regulations went live in April , the industry — from entrepreneurs, investors and growers to researchers, scientists and pharmacists — is turning its focus to exploring, developing and manufacturing homegrown medicines that aren't available yet for end users. Currently, prescribed patients must import overseas products that cost hundreds of dollars. It is one of only four products all from Tilray that meet the ministry's minimum quality standards.
Commercial growers in the domestic industry are still hungry for capital that is, more often than not, held in men's hands. And, you know, predominantly in the investment space it is very male-dominated. The equity raise, which was due to close in three days, has been extended until 26 October because of the recent Covid lockdown. Wright has often entered rooms filled with just male investors, saying while her experience has been positive so far, she has felt underestimated at times.
Heading a company as a woman brings advantages, she says, particularly around leading with empathy and compassion. Men undoubtedly show those qualities but "women do bring a special touch". The structural engineer worked in Australia's mining and construction sector before joining Curaleaf in , then a startup. Now the largest medicinal cannabis player in the world by revenue, Curaleaf grew from about employees to in the two years Reece was there.
The safest way to prevent problems from using cannabis is not using it. However, a prior choice not to use cannabis may not help when it pops up in future.
For some, it's safer and more realistic to learn as much as possible about cannabis, it's effects and how to use it more safely while conscientiously limiting use to small amounts on rare occasions.
Cannabis vaping and oral preparations are the most common alternatives to smoking cannabis and should be equally approached with caution. On one hand, they are non-combustible methods which reduce wheezing, phlegmy coughs and probably more serious lung and heart disease.
On the other hand, they facilitate use in more settings because they are odourless and portable so we may need to be more careful to limit the amount and frequency of use. Smoking cannabis, especially when combined with tobacco, comes with extensive and long-term risks for lung and heart disease.
Gently smoking cannabis in a joint using rolled cardboard as a filter is better than smoking from a bong, pipe or using a tobacco filter which encourage stronger, deeper breaths that increase the risk of THC tolerance and dependence. There is a very real danger of becoming severely intoxicated from eating or drinking something with cannabis in it. This is because consuming cannabis orally has a long and variable onset and intensity which depends on difficult to judge factors such as when and how much we last ate and the amount of THC consumed.
Therefore, only use this method if you know approximately how much THC is in each portion and no sooner than minutes after your last meal. Onset starts within 30 minutes for a drink or 60 minutes if eaten and continues to build, so wait twice this period before thinking of having more.
Compared to smoking, cannabis vapor from a vaporiser contains more cannabinoids higher dose of THC and y ou will tend to vape more frequently than if you were smoking cannabis. On the plus side, you the vapor contains a lot less nasties like tar, carbon-monoxide and other toxins. Onset is often delayed by a minute or two compared to smoking, so be careful not to use more than intended.
Avoid dabbing, a method of flash vaporising cannabis sometimes involving butane. While New Zealand still looks forward to a General Election Referendum on cannabis decriminalization the actual ballot text is not yet available , medicinal use is legal in very limited circumstances. The decriminalization referendum came about from a petition in the legislature, and the referendum before voters will be binding, meaning it will be required to be implemented if it wins a majority of votes. Interested parties should refer to the Electoral Commission site for updates on the text and voter information.
Exemption from prosecution is secure for qualified patients prior to the implementation of a national cultivation supply, which must occur by December Cannabidiol CBD and Sativex are possible to prescribe without ministerial approval. Industrial hemp must contain less than 0. Advertising hemp with intoxicating properties is illegal and is governed by the Misuse of Drugs Industrial Hemp Regulations All other cannabis products are Class B1 controlled substances, and can be prescribed only to those with a terminal illness requiring palliative care.
Palliation is certified by a medicinal practitioner or nurse practitioner who attests that the individual has an advanced, progressive, life-limiting condition and is nearing the end of life. Previously, the only use permitted was for those in the last 12 months of life, as determined by a physician. Cannabis use is also permitted for multiple sclerosis spasticity, but both conditions require a medicinal practitioner to submit an application.
The Ministry of Health is responsible for developing and enforcing rules around medicinal cannabis as well as cultivation licensing, guidance for growers, and formulation of a domestic cultivation and taxation framework.
