"Last night every single state cannabis initiative on the ballot won, in deeply red and deeply blue states alike. At a time when the United States is more divided than it has ever been, there was only one clear bi-partisan consensus among voters: they favor legalizing cannabis, and they favor legalizing it now. From Mississippi to New Jersey, the people have spoken. Now every elected official in the country should respect the will of the voters, and do all they can to enact additional cannabis reform through every state legislature and the federal government— especially ensuring restorative justice for the communities of color that have been targeted for disparate cannabis enforcement for decades".

"Degradation is much less of a worry for products that are immediately frozen after harvest. When traditionally dried and cured, the buds will start to lose their terpene value to oxidization, eventually drying out to a dusty texture, and, in time, becoming overall less desirable to smoke. When frozen, all of those delectable compounds stay preserved, and the freshness lasts longer than it would otherwise. Both cultivators and extractors enjoy this benefit as they don't have to anticipate loss to aging products".
