Statistical tests confirm this trend. Existing farms that applied for permits displayed a mean expansion of 212 plants between 2012 and 2016, while the mean expansion for farms that did not apply was 130 plants . This difference of 82 plants is significant at the 1% level. Our regression results also find expansion associated with…

Cannabis research is also inhibited by funding constraints
Surveys of local populations: The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics has conducted a National Crime Victimization Survey since 1973. This survey asks a representative sample of the national population about the frequency, characteristics and consequences of crimes they have experienced. This survey allows the Bureau to estimate the likelihood of victimization for certain subsets of…
Whatever effect these groups may have on crime is not captured by the present study
Although they are not of particular theoretical interest, the following measures are included as demographic control variables: population size, percent of the population that is male, and percent of land that is commercially zoned. Population size and gender composition are adapted from the 2010 Census. “Percent of land commercially zoned” was calculated in ArcGIS using…
One model of distribution that has proliferated in recent years is the medical cannabis dispensary
California legalized medical cannabis through a 1996 ballot initiative known as Proposition 215 . Prop 215 protects physicians who recommend medical cannabis as well as those qualified patients and caregivers who cultivate, possess, and use cannabis with a valid recommendation. The word “dispensary”, however, does not appear in the law. To this day, dispensaries in…
We used LC-MS to quantify the amount of substrate consumed by the reaction compared to the standard curve
From these initial observations we constructed a focused library with all but one of the constructs in the second library exhibiting activity at least 100-fold higher than WT NphB in an endpoint assay . The best two constructs, M23 and M31, exhibited dramatically improved activity and specificity. Both had kcat values 1000-fold higher than WT…
The next sections summarize third-generation bike sharing in the three main regions of the world
Though bike sharing began as a way to reduce motor vehicle use, Bonnette indicates that “both the first and second generation bike sharing schemes provided welcome opportunities to cycle but did not provide adequate enough support nor reliable service to alter motorized transportation choices and influence people to make significant changes .” The shortcomings of second-generation systems later…
Legalization of cultivation for personal use raises additional concerns about access and exposure
This should be understood and respected. The Kings frequently pointed to the fact that their usage was a product of a world dominated by technology, rationality and materialism that will destroy the world. For that reason, I feel it is necessary to accept the spiritual use of drugs to counteract the problems of the world…
The last common group of users is people who smoke or use cannabis for medical reasons
Recent drug cultures, such as the American hippie movement, have brought our attention to another aspect of marijuana usage, “mind expansion” . Rather than simple escapism, hippies used marijuana, and sometimes LSD as a way of experiencing what they consider to be a more real world. Another rationalization hippies give for the use of hallucinogens…
Technological change has also helped many delivery drivers avoid robberies and police sting operations
The Kings, in order to keep the product new and fresh have to buy from growers around the area. There is no shortage of cannabis growers. Dorian told me growers come in and call him every day to try to sell cannabis to the dispensary, just like the Kings used to do. According to Natty,…
A card helps prevent the cops from confiscating cannabis if you are driving with a large amount of cannabis
While many hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and the like require an arduous production process, cannabis can theoretically be grown by anybody with adequate opportunity. Although not everybody has the capacity to grow high quality cannabis worth selling at a legitimate dispensary, everybody has the opportunity to grow it. Thus, police efforts at…
