Vienna, 2 December 2020–Today, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) took a number of decisions on the international control of cannabis and cannabis-related substances. Cannabis and cannabis-related substances have for many years been included in the schedules of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 as amended by the 1972 Protocol (Schedule I and IV: cannabis and cannabis resin; Schedule I: extracts and tinctures of cannabis), as well as in the Schedules of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 (Schedule I: tetrahydrocannabinol (six isomers of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol); Schedule II: dronabinol and its stereoisomers (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol)). The inclusion in a specific…

Original Sensible Seeds have been keeping themselves busy with the development of some new cookies based cannabis seeds. These guys have been at the breeding game for many years now, so it’s well worth keeping an eye out on all their new releases. Bursting with buds and familiar cookie flavours these new strains offer some of the most unique cannabis genetics you can find today. The expanded range features a wider spectrum of cookies flavours, achieved by bringing GG#4, Bruce Banner #3 and Wedding Cake into the mix. The new feminized additions are as follows: Purple Punch Cookies – with…
Now that cannabis is becoming mainstream, botanists have an easier time obtaining the plant to study its unique growth cycle. Although there are slight variations between species, scientists now know cannabis is a photoperiod-sensitive plant that usually goes through four stages before harvest. Depending on the strain, this process could take anywhere between 4 – 8 months. Let’s take a closer look at these four stages from cannabis seed to flowering. Below, we’ll also briefly explain the genetic reasons why autoflowering cannabis seeds aren’t light-sensitive. Getting Started With Germination The first phase of growth for cannabis is known as germination.…
There are tons of nasty things you could either inhale when using your bong OR come into contact with by touching something communal. It’s always a good idea to keep everything tidied up and avoid getting sick. Using a mouthpiece when sharing with friends is also a great tip (especially with a global flu epidemic going on). Plus, you spent money on a fancy new piece, don’t you want to show it off? You know that oil slick that is on the top of bong water? It’s kind of shimmery? This is called biofilm, and it can form overnight. This…
AMSTERDAM, NL – Sensi Seeds is known for pioneering the cannabis seed industry, and as Europe’s largest and oldest seed bank celebrates its 35th year of business, they continue to innovate. This time it’s with seven new strains, chosen by their cannabis community from the 2019 Sensi Seeds Research project. Sensi Seeds Research is a ground-breaking endeavour that brings together the best of new world cannabis genetics with carefully selected cultivars from their extensive seed bank.

Lezley Gibson suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, unable to get a prescription filled on the NHS, resorted to growing her own cannabis at home. “I’m a long-term Multiple Sclerosis sufferer who successfully uses cannabis manage my condition. Yet, like thousands of other British patients, I’ve been unable to access medicinal cannabis through the NHS, even though it is legal and doctors agree it helps control my condition. Now my family and I are being prosecuted for growing cannabis to manage my MS. This case isn’t just about me. It’s about fighting for better access to medicinal cannabis for all British patients…
It´s been over 30 years since Original Sensible Seeds set out on what they describe as their ‘incredible adventure’ in the cannabis industry, and what a journey it’s been. During this period they were used as the first test case in the late 90’s which helped define the current law with regards to the legality of seeds, they were endlessly pursued by the judicial system and, where others would have backed down Original Sensible were different …they kept coming back, each time stronger than ever…Original Sensible would never surrender! In 1992 Original Sensible Seeds pioneered what was then a unique…
Cannabis-based science can be complicated, to say the least. First off, there are more than 100 cannabinoids discovered to date. At the beginning of their journey, there are two main cannabinoids present within cannabis seeds. These are known as the precursors: CBGA (Cannabigerolic Acid) and CBGVA (Cannabigerovaranic Acid). Cannabinoids go on to transform with natural occurrence. CBGA converts to THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid), CBDA (Cannabidiolic Acid, and CBCA (Cannabichromenenic Acid). Whereas CBGVA mutates into THCVA (Tetrahydrocannabivarinic Acid), and CBCVA (Cannabichromevarinic Acid). During a seasons harvest, early stages of the second transformation of cannabinoids take place via a process known as decarboxylation.…
Over 1000 people partoke in Belfast’s first Canna-walk As the crowds gathered at Belfast City hall there were speeches from various cannabis activists, recreational users, medicinal users and representatives of local cannabis social clubs. Unlike many parades that take place in Northern Ireland dozens of armored police land rovers didn’t line the streets, instead the marchers were ushered along the parade route by the city center beat police van and a few smiling officers. As the parade made it’s way through Belfast onlookers cheered in support, I heard young and old talk about how it’s medicinal, or how it shouldn’t…
