El pasado miércoles 20 de noviembre, el Comité Judicial de la Cámara de Representantes de EE.UU aceptó a trámite, tras más de dos horas de debate, un proyecto de ley que despenalizaría la marihuana a nivel federal. Se trata de la Ley MORE o Ley de Oportunidad de Reinversión y Eliminación de Antecedentes Penales de la Marihuana de 2019. Ahora le queda pasar el filtro del Congreso, donde el Senado, que es de mayoría republicana, es contrario a la legalización.

The cannabis industry, like many others, remains mostly masculine. Therefore, when we discover projects full of sisterhood, which support women who decide to undertake in this sector, we feel the need to share it. In addition to an online store, Buy weed from women, BWFW, is an initiative that has a very clear objective: to create a US national directory of cannabis women.

Is CBD legal?
In one way or another, the cannabis plant is present in infinity of products that the market offers us today. And among all the existing ones, those that include the three magic letters in their striking wrappings stand out: CBD. Cannabidiol.

From Kannabia, we want to honor the memory of Nol van Schaik, who suddenly died in his sleep last weekend at his home in Spain.
We also want to remember the great figure Nol was (and will continue to be, for History): we are talking about one of strongest advocates for the legalization of cannabis and the rights of its users, worldwide. A tireless cannabis activist, a freedom fighter, who started...
