Even though most hemp-derived products contain only trace amounts of the psychoactive cannabinoid Delta-9-THC, it is possible to fail a drug test when using them. Did you know...139,000 Commercial truck drivers failed their drug screen for marijuana since 2020. Those using non-NSF hemp products could test positive too. It can be a shock to lose your job or be disqualified from athletic competition even though you have not used any illegal substances. To be safe, professionals should only use NSF-Certified hemp products. These products are rare in the industry, but a few do exist. Major League Baseball has endorsed only one hemp brand for its players to use: Charlotte's Web. If it's good enough for MLB players, it's good enough for you. :)

***MIKE TYSON GETS DESTROYED BY A LEADING CANNABIS PR FIRM*** I like Mike Tyson, I think he has well intentions. I think these gummies are hilarious 🤣 and I love how Tyson can make light of his worst moments. I think black folks have a great sense of humor and Richard Pryor is my favorite comedian. White folks tend to be nit picky, I believe the term "KAREN" came out of that? Recently I was given a box of Tyson blunt wraps and they were awful. I'm not being nit picky, I actually used the product and it was horrible. I smoked about 10 blunt wraps and I got violently ill. His representatives are putting his brands out everywhere and partnering with a wide variety of them. I hope his gummies are better than the wraps 😁 I'm not in the business of policing what blacks and latinos do as a white guy, but I think it's kind of tacky to nit-pick others in the field over little things. Especially to tear one PoC down, to lift another up? I just think that sucks. Pretty interesting PR move to use a notable global celebrity as an example of bad, to lift up the virtues of his client. That said, I wouldn't want to piss off Iron Mike - even at 58! But I'm just a little guy and a big old nobody. Stu is an expert in PR, so I'm sure he knows what he's doing - unlike me. We're all entitled to our opinions. And Stu has built up a nice hive minded audience who will lapdog and agree with whatever he says. If nothing else, you gotta respect that! Speaking of respect, this quote by Iron Mike is one of the greatest I ever heard. "‘GOD DID THIS’: Mike Tyson on handling criticism: “Sometimes I get in my head and think I’m somebody and then I’m easily offended. But when I know I’m nobody I could never be offended.” Just think of it, here you have one man, Mike Tyson, the youngest world's champion of all time. A former street kid, who has had to rebuild himself into a successful person, making an honest living, being torn apart by a white face. You got to love the audacity! It's palatable! But the best part is the shameless client plug after the takedown! Gotta love it! He put the "strategic" in Bridge Strategic babay! https://lnkd.in/eQgsRdux #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #marijuana #marijuanaindustry #marijuanacommunity
Anyone who knows me is aware I am pretty direct and strong in my opinions, especially about how to change the perception about cannabis consumers and the industry as a whole, which has been my mission since I entered the space 12 years ago. As you’ll see in this story in the NY Post, I am true to form. Celebrating people who don’t represent what we want this industry to me has always been a bone of contention and that comes through with this quote in the story about the pedestal we put people like Mike Tyson on. There are so many better role models for Black and Latino’s to look up to like Vladimir Bautista to see the potential the legal cannabis presents to those most impacted by the failed war on drugs to create opportunities for them to succeed in an industry built on their shoulders. #cannabisculture #cannabiscommunity

In the dynamic landscape of the cannabis industry, regulatory challenges often arise, leading to legal disputes and consumer safety concerns. One such instance recently surfaced with Stiiizy, a cannabis brand, facing legal action over its Delta-8 products in Missouri and Illinois as reported by Green Market Report. This lawsuit underscores the pressing need for a universal cannabis taxonomy system, which could significantly alleviate such issues and promote transparency across the industry. The lawsuit against Stiiizy highlights the confusion and ambiguity surrounding cannabis product classifications, particularly with the emergence of Delta-8 THC, a cannabinoid gaining popularity across the country. However, its legal status and classification remain unclear in many jurisdictions, leading to discrepancies in regulation and enforcement. A universal cannabis taxonomy system would provide a standardized framework for classifying cannabis products based on their chemical composition and potency. By establishing a clear visual representation and entourage score of the active ingredients, such a system would facilitate regulatory compliance for manufacturers and retailers, mitigating the risk of legal repercussions and consumer harm. Furthermore, a universal taxonomy system would streamline regulatory oversight. Regulatory agencies could leverage standardized classifications to monitor the production, distribution, and sale of all cannabis products more effectively, ensuring compliance with safety standards and licensing requirements. This proactive approach would help safeguard public health and strengthens the legitimacy of the cannabis industry. In conclusion, the legal challenges facing Stiiizy underscore the need for a universal cannabis taxonomy system to promote regulatory clarity and consumer safety. By establishing a system based on objective information such as the active ingredient data and providing that information clearly to consumers, it will enhance transparency, facilitate compliance, and foster trust within the cannabis industry. #Univerisal #Taxonomy #Objective #Consumer #Information #RegulatoryReform #CannabisEducation #Transparency #ActiveIngredients #EntourageScore #Visualize #Uniwyze
