From: https://zenpype.com/facebook-confirms-ban-on-cbd-and-hemp-advertising/ ************ Facebook Confirms Ban on CBD and Hemp Advertising June 14, 2019 Despite the decisive bans on pages and ads related to hemp and CBD, Facebook isn’t providing users clear rules or reasoning for its decisions. Tech giant Facebook is blocking any promoted mentions of CBD and hemp on its platform. But the company doesn’t say anything specifically about CBD or hemp in any of its rules regarding permissible content. Instead, Facebook is simply shutting down, and in some cases deleting, accounts and pages it deems are in violation of its ad policies. At the same time, Facebook does…

Only California Could Expand The Black Market By Legalising Cannabis https://www.continentaltelegraph.com/business/only-california-could-expand-the-black-market-by-legalising-cannabis/?fbclid=IwAR37HUc1QIsBUJ3QYR1Ck5jcvI3YQJsRh0zz1isWJRGX2t1KpkzkzK2Cs9o Quite clearly if you just say that growing, buying, possessing and selling cannabis is now legal then you’ve entirely destroyed the back market in cannabis. Sure, some people might then carry on without paying taxes but that is, by definition, grey market, not black. And sure enough, people will want to tax that now legal cannabis because politicians have a near unlimited desire for more of our money to spend. But it…

Millions of people across the world will celebrate 4/20 on Saturday, but only five can say they lay claim to the origins of the term. The Waldos are a group of friends who met at San Rafael High School in northern California's Marin County in the early 1970's. They say it was their inside joke that evolved into the ubiquitous call sign for cannabis culture known today. "It was a private joke amongst ourselves and somehow it turned into a worldwide phenomenon," said Waldos founding member Dave Reddix…

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico’s Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that an absolute ban on recreational use of marijuana was unconstitutional, effectively leaving it to lawmakers to regulate consumption of the drug. Announcing it had found in favor of two legal challenges filed against prohibition of recreational marijuana use, Mexico’s top court crossed the threshold needed to create jurisprudence: five similar rulings on the matter. That creates a precedent other Mexican courts will have to follow. “This is a historic day,” Fernando Belaunzaran, an advocate of drug reform and member of the opposition leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), said. The Supre…

I thought this article was food for thought. It looks like the Lebanese government is looking into legalising cannabis and making it into a legitimate export industry. Trouble is, the cannabis fields are controlled by criminal gangs linked to Hezbollah and shite militias. They do not want to see it legalised. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-20/lebanese-cannabis-farmers-fight-government-push-for-legalisation/10398140
