Psychedelics have come a long way since the Summer of Love thanks to the new Trip app. Back in the late 1960’s characters like Ken Kesey and beat generation writer Neal Cassady introduced legions of followers to taking LSD and mushrooms (among other drugs). If Kesey and Cassady were court jesters, Timothy Leary was the king of tripping, and famously encourage people to, “Turn on, Tune in, Drop out”. The Trip app blends modern neuroscience with the wisdom of psychology to take you on a self-guided journey with expanding your mind. Whereas Leary encouraged users to free their mind, today’s psych ..read more

As prospects of Democrats taking back control of the Senate continue to grow, the CEO of the largest cannabis company by revenue is predicting it could lead to an expedited timeline of cannabis legalization in the U.S. at the federal level. Speaking with Yahoo Finance shortly after the largest cannabis operator in the U.S. closed on its acquisition of smaller player Grassroots to expand its footprint from 18 states to 23, Curaleaf CEO Joe Lusardi explained that a blue wave could move legalization or cannabis reform up to as soon as next year. “If the Democrats take the Senate or the White Hous ..read more

(Reuters) – After nearly a year of next-to-no deal-making, cannabis companies are gearing up for mergers and acquisitions as realistic stock valuations and the prospect of U.S. legalization attract buyers to a sector that has been decimated by oversupply and other issues, executives and investors say.

Distribution deals could also help companies reach consumers who have shown an increased ..read more

It’s the wild west out there and consumers are faced with a wide swath of cannabis package design options. Some packages appear to be stuck in the past with a homemade ‘rustic’ look. Others are clearly going after the “Apple of cannabis” look with sophisticated minimalism. When designing cannabis packaging we’ve found a half dozen pitfalls to avoid. 1. Make child-resistant features easy to figure out Child-resistant packaging is the law, and it’s common sense to protect minors. However, we’ve come across many CR mechanisms that are confusing and/or frustrating even to adults. At Flowsent we’v ..read more

Cannabis enthusiasts looking to connect with fellow weed lovers or cannabis businesses will find there’s a social network with something to offer. The rise of popular cannabis communities with like-minded individuals has accelerated in part because major social networks are still not 100% cannabis friendly. Some cannabis social networks are well-built, however, for every solid network there are 10 others that are buggy and unstable. Some of the top cannabis social networks are the cannabis equivalent of the world’s biggest networks like Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and others. We’ve analyzed ..read more

Every person in business, from the mogul CEO on down to the neophyte fresh from a seminar at the motel near the airport, will tell you how important brands are. For an industry that could be worth as much as $15 billion in California alone — more than almonds and more than wine — the cannabis industry is almost entirely brand-less with the exception of one monster cannabis brand. That’s because marijuana is still illegal — at the federal level, at least. And you can’t process a trademark or a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for something that’s federally illegal. phot ..read more
