Posted on by The Queen of Clovers
We loved the TV show Weeds, and it’s gone down in history as a must-watch for dedicated stoners. When Netflix released their original series, Disjointed, we were excited to experience the excitement of Weeds all over again, but it turns out the two shows are nothing alike.

Disjointed, Netflix’s new cannabis focused sitcom starring Kathy Bates as an aging hippie who owns a California medical marijuana dispensary, is the latest addition to the Pantheon of cannabis-centric movies and television shows. But where exactly does it fit? A good place to start would be seeing how it sizes up to its closest cousin, Weeds.

Is it going to be Kathy Bates versus Mary-Louise Parker, Ruth versus Nancy, or even Chuck Lorre versus Jenji Kohan? Or wait, maybe we should name it the Sativa versus Indica match?

The answer is no, absolutely not, because Disjointed and Weeds are nothing alike. Continue reading Why Disjointed Won’t Make You Forget Weeds

Posted on by The Queen of Clovers

Acting DEA Chief Chuck Rosenberg announced on September 26th that he planned to resign, citing concerns over lack of confidence in the president and current administration.

While Rosenberg’s resignation leaves the future of marijuana up in the air, his replacement has not yet been named. To date, Rosenberg did not have a friendly stance on weed legalization.

As The Huffington Post reported, “Rosenberg reportedly clashed with the Justice Department after the DEA announced plans in 2016 to begin issuing more marijuana cultivation permits for research purposes. As of this summer, the drug agency had not approved a single new application.” Continue reading DEA Chief Rosenberg Resigns – Now What?

September means football season for fans who love the NFL and NCAA, and it also means back to school for millions of college students. In recent years, September has also come to mean that it’s harvest season for the nation’s newest legal cash crops: Cannabis.

It wasn’t that long ago that the only data generated from the annual fall cannabis harvest was that of arrest records published by law enforcement and photo-ops of thousands of cannabis plants seized by the DEA.  This year, Wall Street research analysts will have their eyes glued on the results of this year’s coast-to-coast cannabis harvest like never before, as more and more cannabis and cannabis-related deals are trading on public exchanges for investors to take advantage of what is arguably the fastest growing agricultural sector in the world.

One new enterprise is in the “City of Lights” is GFive Cultivation, the first ever African-American owned and operated cannabis cultivation operation licensed in Nevada.

The “green” product will sell in licensed dispensaries and production facilities in the Las Vegas area.

“Although new and emerging, we’re entering the Green Rush, not for us, but for our community,” states Founder and CEO, Larry Smith. “GFive is not only a company but a family building a business enterprise and creating a lasting legacy for the next generation. For our community far and near, we want to provide a positive outlook to the community and exercise financial freedom, legally.”

Officially growing now, GFive Cultivation will produce more than 20 strains including Gorilla Glue Gelato, Platinum Girl Scout Cookies, Kimber Kosher and Panama Red in customized packages to all licensed dispensaries.
