Previous studies have raised many concerns about the cannabis industry’s potential effect on wildlife

This disconnect between the farmers’ perceptions of the industry compared with its rapid expansion could mean that the specific type of producers we interviewed were not benefitting from the industry increase that accompanied legalization. Other research on small scale cannabis producers from northern California supports this interpretation . It is also possible that landscape-scale industry change […]

Cannabis sites were clustered at multiple spatial scales

Proponents often argue that smaller-scale styles of farming are more sustainable , sometimes drawing parallels to industries such as craft vineyards . However, these farms are also often located in more rural, bio-diverse watersheds close to protected wilderness and managed timberlands that could be at environmental risk from expanding development . As land managers and […]

The following sections report results from the RAYS pretest and posttest survey responses

Furthermore, this evaluation may inform limited research of RJP program evaluation with a small, rural school district in a region with a prevalent cannabis cultivation industry. Findings from this project may help to fill the gap in the literature on restorative program evaluation for drug-related incidents in school-based settings. This may inform efforts for developing, […]

Multiple students also noted the core components of peer involvement and tailored support

The case management database was embedded in the same Sea Table cloud-based platform as the GAL. Core components of the case management database that informed both process and outcome evaluation measures included data from the Enrollment Form, Exit Form, and the Demographics Questionnaire. Upon enrolling a student, a RAYS program coordinator was responsible for recording the […]

Ground-mounting versus elevated modules also had an impact on energy losses

To address these limitations, future studies should incorporate validated, evidence-based instruments to measure suicide risk, such as the Suicide Probability Scale or the Suicide Inventory Questionnaire , which have been cross-culturally validated for use in Native American contexts . Validated, evidence-based instruments to measure the selected predictors should also be incorporated. Another limitation of this study […]

These coping mechanisms are crucial for building socioecological resilience within food systems

Food use is the second highest use category cited by Hutsul community members, with the common phrase, “food is medicine.” Many highly ranked culturally important food species are also noted for their medicinal qualities. Culturally important species are found in a variety of habitats, with different degrees of human interaction, providing accessibility during times of need […]

The mushrooms indicating the most uses was shared by penny bun and fly agaric followed by chanterelle

Out of the 40 people interviewed, 18 mentioned the gathering of mushrooms and stated the importance of mushrooms in culture, economics, and diet. This dataset is small since it was incidental knowledge gathered through interviews and participant observation on plant knowledge; it does not fully capture the extensive deep and rich mycological knowledge rooted in […]

Traveling outside of the comfort of our communities is one way to encounter these interjections

Traditional, local, and Indigenous knowledge systems must be prioritized and valued ; according to the World Bank , communities that rely on traditional, local, and Indigenous knowledge systems, steward an estimated 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity . Institutions, ranging from non-governmental organizations, government institutions and universities should also be included in the diversity of […]

A mixture of methanol/chloroform was used as a cannabinoid’s extraction solution

The negatively correlation between latitude and THC and CBD contents supported by a study reported that latitude decreases can result in cannabinoids level reduction, and plants from high latitudes exhibited a low ∆9-THC. Moreover, this study indicated that the populations at the high elevation showed a trend towards lower concentrations of THC and CBD. For […]
