Raise your hand if you or someone you know has over-consumed alcohol. What happened after likely set a clear boundary in understanding limitations to avoid that situation again in the future.
Consuming cannabis isn't much different when it comes to learning limits, except that most are unaware of how to find that boundary, especially early on in their dosed edible experience. I am here to give you a simple guide to share with your friend or family member that’s eager to try edibles. Page 6

For example:

We interviewed Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Peter Grinspoon, one of the world's leading doctors, to uncover it all.

Across the US cannabis industry, we see businesses challenged from multiple fronts:
- Macroeconomic factors include inflation, rising interest rates, and supply chain disruptions.
- The legacy of prohibition, which has created a strong illicit market and made it difficult for legal businesses to access banking and other financial services.
- Inability of state and local governments to implement sensible regulations, which has led to a patchwork of inconsistent rules and regulations that make it difficult for businesses to operate.
- Lack of federal legalization, which prevents cannabis businesses from accessing the full range of benefits available to other businesses, such as access to capital and tax breaks.
