As voters in Arkansas, Florida, and North Dakota approved the ballots for medical marijuana legalization in November 2016 , approximately 60% of the population in the U.S. now lived in states that permitted marijuana use for medical purpose. Despite the increasing support from the public, the scientific research on the public health impacts of medical […]

The pathways as modeled in the ICS make little appreciable qualitative difference to results
This CI reduction stems from assumed industry-wide adoption of CCS as well as increases in volumes of sugar ethanol in the near future and cellulosic ethanol toward the end of the decade. Therefore, we consider a scenario in which the ICS CI projections are realized. We refer to these set of assumptions as A3 in […]
The lack of pass-through of the LCFS subsidy can be easily visualized
Comparing the East Coast results here – which are for Trenton, NJ – to their results from Newark, NJ for unbranded E10, I find lower rates of pass through, especially when dropping the RIN Price Shock period. Like mine, their sample includes a period with a significant upward shock to RIN prices – the first […]
The total tax payments reflect the cost of compliance of the policies
Such a project could provide land managers and law enforcement with the support they need to adequately monitor areas and respond accordingly. It could also encourage individuals to write to governmental officials and create pressure for policy makers to act. Mexican DTOs are the foremost cultivator group and have the single largest impact on the […]
Dense stands of brush and trees are removed with saws and machetes
Marijuana cultivation on state and federal lands became a major law enforcement priority and the US Forest Service, National Guard, CAMP and other cooperative task forces have taken on primary roles in conducting counter-cultivation efforts.New law enforcement objectives were established in the “Strategic Plan” which identified short-term and long-term goals, as well as the methodology […]
Lagomorphs may be responding to these same cues, but via different response mechanisms
There are many possible explanations for why deer and gray fox space use might be more influenced by cannabis farms than lagomorphs. These generally have to do with characteristics on the farms themselves. Wildlife may be interacting with the increased presence of domestic cats and dogs on cannabis farms , for instance, for deer as […]
Data obtained across sessions was analyzed with a repeated measures two-way ANOVA
Data were analyzed by a t-test, one-way or two-way ANOVA with Prism 9 software , as appropriate. Significant main or interaction effects were followed by Bonferroni post-hoc comparison with correction for multiple comparisons. The criterion for significance was set at α = 0.05 two-tailed.In these studies, we sought to examine how adolescent exposure to nicotine, […]
The rise of the medical cannabis movement illustrates the unfolding of such processes of normative contestation
Building on and expanding the scope of the international obligations enshrined in the Vienna Convention and the INCB recommendations, the US has made extensive use of bilateral treaties to create an issue-linkage between states’ willingness to adopt zero-tolerance models of drug policy and their eligibility for foreign aid. Over the next decades, such bilateral agreements […]
Orsellinic acid was also found to be in the original heterologous expression profile
These are just a couple of examples on how we had to conceptualize the plasmid making process differently on the LAS than how we typically do on the benchtop.After the construction of mutation plasmids both manually and utilizing the Living Biofoundry, we heterologously expressed the mutated Ma_OvA plasmids with Ma_OvaB and Ma_OvaC in Aspergillus nidulans. […]
Genome mining is utilized to search for and identify bio-synthetic gene clusters
They demonstrated that ∆9 -THC synthetic mimics were able to bind to a specific site in the membranes of the brain, inhibiting synthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate through a G-protein mediated mechanism. Furthermore, molecular cloning of the first cannabinoid receptor gene as well as brain mapping of the cannabinoid binding sites in rats confirmed the existence […]
