The Spokane Regional Health District reminds expecting mothers that cannabis and pregnancy don't mix
We all know that pregnancy brings with it a host of uncomfortable symptoms along the way, and you can't blame an expecting mother for going in search of something to relieve the discomfort. But pregnant women should not use cannabis to alleviate pain and nausea, according to recent studies.

Washington will soon be the first state to have organically certified cannabis

For you eco-minded folks, there's some good news here — Washington will soon have certified organic cannabis.

A provision in the federal budget bill aims to protect the medical cannabis industry
We've written on several occasions in this column about how the future of the legal cannabis industry is in question, thanks to the Trump administration and its attorney general, Jeff Sessions, an outspoken cannabis opponent whose rhetoric on the subject has at times escalated to a Reefer Madness level. Fear that the feds might be coming after states, like ours, where cannabis is legal for medical and/or recreational purposes has been looming since Inauguration Day, but last week there was at least a little relief on the medical side.

Cannabis ointments might be the cure for what ails you
Here in Washington, where medical cannabis programs gained approval from voters nearly 20 years ago, the notion that cannabis has healing properties isn't necessarily a tough sell with the public. But in our present-day recreational market, the high-end strains, concentrates, oils and other emerging products might distract consumers from the fact that one can readily find relief for what ails them at their local cannabis shop.
