Hemp may get cows high, but will their milk do the same to you?
They were displaying the typical symptoms of being stoned: red eyes, wobbly gaits, and drowsy demeanors. But these weren’t people who had just frequented their local dispensary—they were cows.
In a new study, scientists report cattle that have eaten feed containing varying amounts of hemp seemed to get stoned like people do. The work may give regulators pause when considering whether the affordable, fast-growing crop is safe for livestock to eat. It also raises concerns about whether the active ingredient in marijuana can enter the human food supply through the milk of blazed bovines.

Medical marijuana maker Vireo sues Minnesota over new THC edbiles legalization
Vireo Health of Minnesota, one of just two distributors of medical marijuana in Minnesota, is suing the state and local governments over the state's sudden legalization of hemp-derived THC edibles, arguing that it's facing unfair regulation over essentially the same product.
The suit, filed last week in Minnesota District Court, argues that Minnesota laws "unconstitutionally discriminate against Vireo in the market for edible products that contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)."

CBD Could Help Cops Get Relief From Stress, Insomnia, and Chronic Pain. But Using It Puts Their Job in Jeopardy
There were moments in the past few years when Police Sgt. Brian Vaughan would have tried almost anything to break the cycle of sleeplessness that wore him down—to wash away the images, sounds, and smells of violence that stuck to his memory, and ease the constant pain that was shooting through his back. At one point, he found himself tempted to try CBD, a widely available cannabis derivative that can offer relief from many ailments.
“It would have been great to be able to take it and see if it helps,” says Vaughan, a 14-year law enforcement veteran and training coordinator for the police department in Dal...

The Next Hottest Alternative Milk Comes from Microbes
Milk is an extraordinary substance, packed with all the proteins, sugars, fats, minerals, and vitamins a young mammal needs to flourish until it can eat on its own. Co-opted by humans, cow milk—and to a lesser extent, sheep, goat, buffalo, and camel milk—is a founding food for much of the world, drunk straight, poured over cereal, used to lighten coffee, churned into butter, frozen into ice cream, and baked into desserts. Dosed with rennet—an enzyme produced in a calf’s stomach—it separates into the curds and whey beloved by Miss Muffet, ready to be drained, molded, and fermented into cheese.
