Our verification efforts, confined to 47 delivery businesses serving 4 diverse block groups, found that only half actually delivered to designated locations. Cao et al. show value in combining listings from multiple crowd sourced platforms plus official license listings to increase sensitivity and specificity, but the address search function appears unique to Weedmaps: official license listings and […]

The study’s strength is that it provides a novel and timely snapshot of practices that may influence cannabis consumption in a rapidly evolving context. Surveillance of cannabis websites can complement and help to explain findings of the behavioral studies reporting increased cannabis use. This aspect of cannabis marketing may be more agile and difficult to […]

The trend held for all of the major components of the particle phase as well, including PG, VG, and nicotine. Clearly, PG is easier to aerosolize than VG. This is due to the differences in chemical structure, and correspondingly, viscosity, vapor pressure, and boiling point. VG has one more OH group than PG, which results […]

Gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled with different detectors including mass spectrometry, UV-Vis, and others are usually applied for the characterization of components in e-cigarette aerosol. Besides chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance has also been applied to the characterization of e-cigarette thermal degradation products. Jensen et al.74 have published a library of 1H NMR spectra for many thermal degradation products […]

The relationships between racial composition and garden proximity remain relatively unchanged with interaction terms added to the Philadelphia model: an increase in the share of Black or Hispanic residents predicts that the nearest garden would be closer, while the share of Asian and Pacific Islander residents is not significantly associated with garden proximity. The interaction […]

While the LBA was constituted of entities more closely associated with the typical centers of power in growth coalitions, the breadth of constituencies sharing a common goal in this effort highlights how widely shared urban growth goals tend to be, despite the uneven share in returns on growth . The LBA and the CTBVL worked […]

In framing garden loss as a lack of community control, Soil Generation links the struggle to preserve urban agriculture to broader concerns that are reflected in local civic conventions, and also highlights the legacies of colonialism and racism that have displaced and oppressed Black and Brown people, immigrants, and indigenous communities in Philadelphia and beyond […]

Soil Generation was formed in conscious opposition to the PHS modus operandi that had long been the public face of urban agricultural activities in Philadelphia. Seeking its legitimacy from Black and Brown growers and community members, Soil Generation has worked to put forth a narrative that gives more voice to growers of color, who have […]

With less money being distributed from the federal and state governments to city agencies, local governments have had to scramble to find alternative funding sources. Public-private partnerships are often formed in this context, but their viability as a replacement for the aid offered by the prior welfare-state remains in question . In this newfound and […]

In advocating for urban agriculture as a long-term land use, garden organizations participate in the ongoing renegotiation of both ideas of urban nature and the material ecological conditions in cities, which distribute the benefits and burdens unevenly among different social groups . Advocacy for urban agriculture is also similar to other efforts underway to transform […]
