Public shareholders got high today on Tilray, the first marijuana company to IPO on Nasdaq
Tilray, a five-year-old, British Columbia-based medical cannabis company that sells its products to patients, researchers, pharmacies and even governments, saw its shares get high (sorry) on the Nasdaq today, after the company priced 9 million shares at $17 apiece and watched them soar, closing at $22.39, a jump of slightly more than 32 percent.

One rider found that out the hard way after he got a notification from the company threatening “permanent account deactivation.” The offense? Allegedly bringing some drugs into the vehicle. Read more…

Code for America wants to clear 250,000 marijuana convictions

Over the years Jennifer Pahlka has listened as discouraged people across America shared their stories of missed employment, education, financial, and housing opportunities with her. She’s comforted these individuals, gotten to know them, and learned that past marijuana convictions follow them in ways that make it impossible to move forward in life.
“The things that people write will break your heart: ‘I made a small mistake a long time ago and it’s just haunting me, I need a job to take care of my kids, I need a job to take care of my parents,'” Pahlka, founder and executive director of Code for America, said. “In a human way, when you see the problem up close it becomes a moral imperative to solve it.” Read more…

Local news reporters are pros at dealing with the unexpected while on duty. And, as displayed in this clip, sometimes they’re too good.
KMTV journalist Cameron Tucker was reporting on an illegal cannabis grow in a quiet neighborhood in Kent, UK, when a brilliant teen decided to brilliant troll the live news report.
Watch the back of the shot. A young man emerges from an alley holding a large green plant. He spots the camera, acts surprised, and runs off down the road. Tucker didn’t even flinch.
Of course, the plant does not appear to be cannabis. The kid was clearly pulling a prank on Tucker — masterfully, if we do say. Read more…
