SAN FRANCISCO – Lift Events and Experiences’ inaugural U.S. event, Lift San Francisco, August 3 – August 4, 2023 at the Moscone Convention Center, will feature several new elements including the inaugural Taste at Lift: Cannabis Food & Beverage Experience. This is a unique opportunity to partake in exclusive demos, in-depth presentations and expert panels led by the top innovators in the cannabis food, beverage and hospitality industries.

Competitors will create multiple courses with both infused and non-infused options available for judges and select attendees to sample.

“I believe food and beverage is the real opportunity in cannabis today, drawing in the canna-curious and educating them through familiar ways of consumption. Taste at Lift is the first platform for the cannabis food and beverage supply chain to connect, ideate, educate, and celebrate obstacles overcome and successes achieved,” said Chef Jordan Wagman, Lift’s Director of Cannabis Food & Beverage Growth. “Our team has been hard at work developing a program that showcases new and innovative ways to highlight cannabis food and beverage brands. From delicious edibles to refreshing cannabis-infused cocktails, Taste at Lift is sure to surprise, educate and delight attendees.”

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....

LAS VEGAS – Australis Capital Inc. (CSE: AUSA) (OTC: AUSAF) “AUSA”, “AUDACIOUS”, or the “Company), today announced the Company was awarded a provisional Cultivation license, as well as a provisional Manufacturing license in the state of New Jersey.

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 ...
