While the NFL and CBS killed this years marijuana ads for Super Bowl LIII, that could all soon change thanks to Federal acceptance.

And while adult use recreational bills receive the most attention, a number of other interesting cannabis proposals that state lawmakers are currently considering, including legislation to require insurance coverage for the CBD cannabinoid, protect medical marijuana patients' gun access, authorize veterinarians to recommend marijuana for animals and allow interstate sales are pushing the legal marijuana Industry forward as we head towards 2020.

And with some form of marijuana now legal in 33 states, plus the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, the fast growing marijuana industry has cultivated mainstream acceptance over the past 20 years.

  1. I want to say that I'm glad that there is such an herbal medicine that I can use legally. I don't need cannabis itself. I just use hempura cbd and it helps a lot from pains of different etiologies. I'm not sure I could be so active if I still used painkillers.
