The biggest holiday of the year for The Green Solution® is 4/20, and that’s six months away. But in the meantime, we’re co-sponsoring tons of spectacular events to help […]
Truffles have a long and storied history as one of the world’s most decadent (read: expensive) foods, and as such, they’re sometimes referred to as “the diamond of the kitchen.” Of course, that term refers to the subterranean fungus that trained hogs dig for (sounds yummy, right?), the ones that sell for around $100 an […]

“Sometimes I feel like I can’t complete one thought, let alone the 25 requests my kids have just made. Pot has the same effect on me as 20 minutes of yoga, but I don’t have time for 20 minutes of yoga.” So says Anna, a 37-year-old mother of two in Santa Monica, California, and she’s not […]

Newsweek predicts that cannabis could be the first billion-dollar industry not dominated by men. Now there’s a new 85-minute documentary on the subject called “Mary Janes: The Women of […]

California is on its way to legalized recreational cannabis sales (beginning January 1, 2018), but there are unexpected problems that may jeopardize a smooth roll-out.

Of that staggering number, only about 11 percent (or 3,500) have […]

Those of us who live in Colorado are well aware of the status of legality of cannabis in our state.

It’s been about a month since we reported on Nevada’s cannabis shortage, and not a lot has changed in terms of getting the products to the shelves there.
