Edibles in the Octagon: UFC Fighter Gilbert Urbina Partners With Gelato Canna Co.

Professional sports are notorious for outdated views on cannabis use among athletes. While the NFL is rethinking its stance on cannabis by funding clinical trials and the MLB allowing players to use cannabis in their personal lives are promising indicators of shifting attitudes, the UFC has been ahead of the curve in terms of its cannabis policies. Why? Studies have shown that cannabis has been found to help alleviate muscle soreness, stress and assist with brain health —all issues surrounding the well-being of UFC fighters.

Cannabis companies have not shied away from the UFC community. One company in particular, Gelato Canna Co., has partnered with UFC fighter Gilbert Urbina, for a collaboration that helps normalize cannabis use in professional sports while fighting the stigma that cannabis users are couch locked stoners.

Urbina is available for interviews to talk about a variety of topics surrounding the Gelato sponsorship including:

Game Plan: Why Gelato decided to sponsor Urbina in particular and how his use of cannabis has benefitted his UFC career

Functional and Fun: How more professional athletes are embracing the effects of cannabis as a tool to optimize their mental health and wellbeing

Investing in Innovation: Gelato’s strategy for sponsoring a UFC fighter and how this lays the groundwork for future cannabis companies sponsoring professional athletes

8 Breeders and Seed Banks with Desirable Strains for 2024

Every cannabis grower hopes to have a plentiful harvest full of top-shelf buds. One of the best ways to meet that goal is by planting quality genetics . But with so many breeders out there, it may be difficult to determine the best cannabis seed banks for your needs. Cannabis seeds are technically legal across the United States since they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. In the last six years, dozens of online seed banks have popped up vying for market share. Offering feminized cannabis seeds and autoflowering seeds in many of the most popular strains , there are endless genetics from which to choose. The best cannabis seeds for an operator may vary depending on whether a grow is indoors or outdoors, their preferred growing medium, and the ultimate goal for the crop. For example, are you hoping to extract rosin or sell smokable buds? These questions must be considered prior to selecting marijuana strains and, by proxy, a source for those genetics....

Will This Be Our Year?

In 1919, a ban on alcohol exposed a cultural divide between urban and rural America and led to a spike in organized crime. Federal, state, and local governments struggled to adapt to the abrupt change in reality that came to be known as Prohibition. The task of enforcing new regulations initially fell to the Internal Revenue Service (thus the term “revenuers” for federal agents who hunted moonshiners) before being passed to the Department of Justice (DOJ). While enforcement was concentrated in rural areas and small towns—where some folks made decent livings by operating homemade stills—urban dwellers continued to enjoy alcohol courtesy of bootleggers and speakeasies. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, after the broken bottles, blood, and dust finally settled, an article in The United States News (now U.S. News & World Report) attempted to give the citizenry an idea of how the path forward might look. The open season for liquor-control laws is at hand. With repeal on December ...
