    A half-century after high school kids in California's Marin County started using "4:20" as code for smoking marijuana, political advisers to the 81-year-old teetotaler president, Joe Biden, began signaling that he was hip to reefer slang.

President Biden and Vice President Harris each tweeted at 4:20 p.m. on April 20 of this year that they supported...

  • Marijuana rescheduling will make pot businesses 'significantly more profitable'

    May 2, 2024

    The federal government is removing some barriers to Minnesota's budding marijuana industry by reclassifying the drug as less dangerous. If the decision to move marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance goes forward as planned, businesses could take advantage of normal tax write-offs, something state-licensed growers and dispensaries around the country are unable to do under current IRS rules. That will add up to millions in savings for Minnesota cannabis businesses,...
