@jason Marijuana is probably more frequently used, but I've noticed a trend among industry shareholders moving towards the term cannabis. For whatever reason they believe it has less stigma associated with it and it's a bit more progressive. That's simply my take on it based on the conversations I have with other industry shareholders.
Looking forward to receiving your content, just signed up 😊

@jason Inside Cannabis. Marijuana is actually a term created in the 1930's by prohibitionists to incite racism towards Mexican and African Americans. The history of cannabis goes back thousands of years and is the preferred name in the industry.
I would encourage anyone interested to watch the documentary "The Scientist" which goes into further detail on the history of the plant. It is fascinating!
@jason I would suggest Inside Cannabis. Like the comments before have mentioned, although marijuana is the more popular term among consumers, the industry is making a push to use cannabis as it is a less stigmatized word. I imagine that cannabis will out strip marijuana in the long run as legalization begins to spread. From an SEO stand point, Google processes weed, marijuana, and cannabis as the same word. Plus, I find that linguistically, cannabis just sounds a bit more pleasant than marijuana.
@rrhoover@snoopdogg my expectation is that there will be 3 newsletters about every important topic; Inside.com would like to be #1, but we can win the silver or bronze once and a while. :-)
this is an instant open when it arrives, the email features top cannabis related stories, nicely summarized.
Pros:
summaries of top cannabis news.
Cons:
wider variety of new sources, tends to curate from a few top news sources.

Hi! I'm interested to know which of you has a medical marijuana card? Lately, I've been thinking about getting medical marijuana oakland https://dr-weedy.com/medical-mar.... I found an interesting article on the subject of medical card laws in California.I've been experiencing a lot of depression lately, so I'm thinking that marijuana will help me solve my problems.
Very cool! We previously interviewed (http://bit.ly/2ldnYas) a woman who advises and invests in cannabis companies, and it's crazy how many legal issues are involved in getting into this business.
Just subscribed! I'm excited to see the type of content Inside.com has to provide. Hopefully it will include notes on consumer trends in the space, and highlights on interesting businesses in the industry. As the marketer for the Grobo Grow Box (https://grobo.io), I try to keep on top of cannabis news, but with my hectic schedule, I've been finding it difficult to carve out time to stay informed.
