										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SAN FERNANDO, Calif. – Legal Marijuana is one of the fastest growing industries in America. According to ArcView, sales reached $6.9 billion last year. They also predict that it could grow up to $21.6 billion by 2021.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, entrepreneurs are still facing problems. One of which is their status as a Schedule 1 substance. This means that banks are afraid of giving services to <strong>marijuana industry businesses</strong>.</p>
<p>Thus, entrepreneurs have to monitor not only their products but also their revenues. Tax services also need to adjust their security measures to keep the cashflow steady.</p>
<p>However, financial security is only one of the primary issues. Employees are in peril because people know that they will earn a big amount of cash from them.</p>
<p>Transportation is another problem. Cannabis products need to move from cultivators to distributors. The same thing goes for money. It needs to move between companies to state establishments for tax payments. Some entrepreneurs like armored vehicles while others prefer sending out two to three cars.</p>
<p>While these are the concerns of many companies, they still offer <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong>. Military training is a perfect skill in this field. Many veterans are having a tough time in finding a new job once they get out of the military. Indeed, unemployment among ex-troopers is a common issue.</p>
<p>Fortunately, many <strong>marijuana industry group jobs</strong> offer positions for those who served in the military. However, before applying for <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong>, there are a few things you must do.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong> <strong>Do Your Research</strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have experience or knowledge in the <strong>marijuana industry</strong>, there’s nothing to worry about. You can do your research about this field. This will give you a perfect opportunity to find <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong> and to get a position.</p>
<p>Thanks to the internet, it’s now easier to do your research and look for <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong>. You only need to know what you need to search for and read as often as you can. Here are some tactics that you need to consider.</p>
<ul>
<li> Read books that are suggested on the reading list of cannabis colleges, companies, and universities.</li>
<li> Buy cannabis-related books written by experts like Jorge Cervantes and Ed Rosenthal.</li>
<li> Ask your friends or anyone you know about the books they’ve read or websites they visit.</li>
<li> Register at every marijuana website, newsletter, blog, and mailing list.</li>
<li> If you could, attend marijuana industry conferences.</li>
</ul>
<p>The goal of conducting this research is to be familiar with the history, the language, and the people. If you have no idea where to begin, you can ask questions like, “Where do you get information?” or “Who do you admire?”</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: What Is Your Mission?</strong></p>
<p>When applying for <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong>, your priority should be to understand the company&#8217;s mission. You also have to make sure you talk about their mission when someone interviews you. As potential workers of the firm, the company’s mission is your shared goal that connects everyone together.</p>
<p>During the interview, show how much you care about their mission. Talk about how you can help in reaching the company&#8217;s goals.</p>
<p>If the firm only wants to earn money, turn around and look for another company. There are several institutions where financial gain is an acceptable goal. However, <strong>medical marijuana industry jobs</strong> are not one of them. When looking for <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong>, make sure you and the company share similar beliefs.</p>
<p>Find an organization that aims to help cure patients by taking cannabis products. If you can’t see this vision, then you’re in the wrong company.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Your Work Is the Family You Choose</strong></p>
<p>One thing employers consider when hiring a new employee is if he can work along with the team. Applicants need to work 10 to 12 hours a day once they get the position. This means that you will spend a lot of time with your co-workers.</p>
<p>If the employer thinks you can&#8217;t handle the job, he won’t hire you. Therefore, you need to leave a good impression and show them you’re fit for the available position.</p>
<p>If you prove to be the right person, you become part of the team that carries out the company’s mission. However, if you don’t like the culture and values of the firm, it may affect your working relationship and performance.</p>
<p>While there are a few things you can do to leave a good impression, don’t forget to be real. It&#8217;s better if they know who you are before they hire you then get fired because of your work ethics.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Ask the Right Questions</strong></p>
<p>When applying for <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong>, don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions during the interview. An interested applicant shows that you&#8217;re eager to join the company. Think of it as a conversation and not as an interview. Not only will you get information about the enterprise, but it will make the conversation a lot easier.</p>
<p>Some of the questions you could ask are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li> What is the firm has done that you’re proud of?</li>
<li> If you were the applicant, what would you concentrate on improving?</li>
<li> If you could take one decree from another state, what would it be?</li>
</ul>
<p>This is only the beginning of your journey. You still need to sell yourself if you want to get one of the available <strong>marijuana jobs for veterans</strong>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the <strong>growth of cannabis production</strong> that comes with the thriving marijuana industry, more technological companies are getting involved. To a greater extentpeople are interested in starting a business in cannabis production. However, the fact that it is still illegal in many places globally serves as a big hindrance. For the next few years, sale of legal cannabis is expected to rise. That is why more and more companies want to cooperate in the <strong>growth of cannabis production.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Technology as a means in Regulating Marijuana</strong></p>
<p>Looking back at the history and culture of marijuana, it is established that the production of it has always required little technology.  Moreover, many companies are still hesitant to be involved in itsfabricationand selling up to now. Although it is seen as a good trade opportunity, many still actively avoid it. This is because of the fact that many are still wary of the legal concerns that it may pose.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, there are still a few companies that try to get involved. Green Lion Partners, for one, is a business strategy firm that aims to regulate the <strong>growth of cannabis production</strong>. According to its CEO, Mike Bologna, the expansion of technology on the marijuana industry can outgrow the enlargementof the market itself.</p>
<p><strong>Technology in helping the Growth in Production</strong></p>
<p>While there are corporationswho are focused in enhancing the security and regulation of the marijuana industry, there are also some who aim to enhance the means for the <strong>growth of cannabis production. </strong>This is executed through the invention of dispensary tools that can help sell it in a more convenient and transparent way that is still in compliance with the regulations established for its laws.</p>
<p>An example of this is Flowhub. Flowhub is a startup that offers a seed-to-sale tracking platform designed for both growers and retailers. The idea of this product is to be able to enhance production that is within the allowed grounds of the regulation.Itis a point-of-sale system for dispensaries that is also a cloud-based software that can be accessed both through an iOS device and through the web. It is a startup that makes mobile devices able to be used for scanning RFID plant tags. This appis designed to track every plant, person and product that is associated with the production and sale of marijuana, so that every transaction is considered legal.</p>
<p><strong>Technology that Makes Marijuana Transactions Easier</strong></p>
<p>Aside from the given services above, there are also some companies who strive to make acquiring marijuana easier, especially for medical purposes. GreenRush, for example, is an online platform that aims to help get marijuana delivered to customers in need. It has made a partnership deal with local U.S. dispensaries and certain delivery services.</p>
<p>Through GreenRush’s website, you can browse products and dispensaries that you need. All that is required of you is a verified medical marijuana card to be able to let you order. Aside from that, italso has an available doctor for consultation for California based shoppers who do not have a medical marijuana card. Moreover, through its partnership with Salesforce, it was also able to increase its sales management and customer support. Aside from that, it has also teamed up with DocuSign for its membership agreements and MailChimp for email marketing.</p>
<p>Through these companies, the <strong>growth of cannabis production </strong>and its distribution has been made more organized, and convenient while still being able to comply with the necessary regulations. With the increase in states that are legalizing the use of marijuana, it is not long that more people will come to realize that cannabis is now considered a good. It has caused benefits through medical use and the only thing to focus on is to regulate its use so that others will not overuse and abuse the use of this herb.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The move to legalize cannabis for medical purposes in America has sparked the discussion about the effects of the drug on the brain, and whether it is ideal to use it to treat psychiatric disorders.<span id="more-97"></span></p>
<p>Sadly, however, much of the studies have to be carried out on those who have smoked the drug for recreational reasons and not medical purposes. There are very few people who use weed for medical purposes.</p>
<p>A review carried out by the American Medical Association also found out that the research still remains sparse. This was one of the factors that made the association urge the federal government to make reconsideration in classifying medical0 schedule 1 controlled substance. This prevent it to be used as both creational and medical drug.</p>
<p>However, consensus have proven that medical marijuana could help treat several medical conditions in 1999, the Institute of Medicine found that marijuana is the best to treat pain, especially nerve pain, it increases appetite for those who have HIV AIDS as well as controlling chemotherapy related vomiting and nausea.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the Institute of Medicine said that marijuana should only be used as a form of treatment if other pain relief drugs don’t work on patients. Research that were done later on found out the core findings by IOM and recommendations were actually true. There are also other studies that have supported the use of marijuana in treating various psychiatric conditions. However, there still need to be physical evidence and benefits than documented risks, especially for youths who use cannabis.</p>
<p><strong>Important points to note:</strong></p>
<p>Medical marijuana is ideal for treating various medical conditions such as nausea and nerve pain. However, there isn’t sufficient evidence to recommend cannabis as the ideal treatment for psychiatric disorder. In fact the risks are documented quite well, and include psychosis, addiction as well as anxiety.</p>
<p><strong>Challenges with medical marijuana delivery</strong></p>
<p>Cannabis is extracted from the hemp plant. The plant features over 400 chemicals. However, researchers have found out that there are two main chemical that have adverse effects on the mind: cannabidiol and Delta 9- Tetrahydrocannabinol also referred to as THC.</p>
<p>THC is the one responsible for many effects of the drug, particularly on the central nervous system. The chemical prompts the cannabinoid receptors causing various chemical reactions that lead to cannabis’ physical and psychological effects, both the positive and negative effects.  There isn’t much known about the cannabidiol, but it is believed to produce sedation. But it also may contain antipsychotic, neuro-protective and anti-inflammatory effect. But the research is very unreliable at the moment.</p>
<p>Therefore the delivery of this drug still remains a major challenge. However, the FDA has recently approved the use of two important pills that have THC. The marinol is mixed with synthetic THC with sesame oil. Most of the ingredients in the drug are normally metabolized when the body is digesting, therefore, less than 20 percent of the dose gets to the bloodstream</p>
