Not to beat a dead horse, but it’s been a rough year for everyone, the cannabis tribe included, despite various gains such as cannabis being deemed an essential service and legalization taking place in multiple places throughout the world.

The past month, not to mention pretty much all of 2020 thus far, has been one crazy ride that took everyone by surprise. It seems like years’ or decades’ worth of events happened within the span of just a few short weeks.

…the elephant in the room. The events following the murder of George Floyd by racist police last week touched off massive protests, civil unrest and an ugly, brutal response by police departments nationwide. This has obviously been on everyone’s mind around the world and it’s a situation that will last for an unknown length of time.

It is ultimately a matter of time before enough dispensaries and cultivation facilities receive licenses and go online to service those in need of cannabis throughout the state. However, one aspect of legalization tends to get overlooked when legislative bodies are hashing out the details of legal weed: social consumption lounges.

Happy May CG blog fans! Hope everyone had a lovely 4/20 and a relaxing May Day weekend, lord knows we all needed a bit of R&R and then some. We all get the feeling that 2020 isn’t going to get any easier but let’s not focus on the doom and gloom, though we should definitely mention one thing that’s on everybody’s mind: COVID-19.

Yes, we know, it’s about damn time this website/podcast/project got its own blog. While we do have several dozen podcast episodes as well as social media accounts with links to articles, photos and whatot, there comes a time when the old-fashioned blog becomes a necessity to somewhat bring everything together and give readers a written framework for what this site is about and the kinds of things we want to discuss.
