About us
Cannabis is creating a global revolution. Stranded in illegality, it was once doomed a source of evil. Today, facts are showing that this plant makes the world a better place. Countries have legalized cannabis for recreational and medicinal use. The global recognition cannot be more overwhelming that cannabis is wholesome for this world.
The buck doesn’t stop at recreational and medical use by individuals. Hemp products contribute to a world without plastics, cotton and other harmful products. These can often be substituted by products made of cannabis/hemp. In automobiles, in construction and many other industrial sectors. Cannabis can create a sustainable, fair and new economy.
The world should know about this fast-changing perception of cannabis. Accurate, honest and incisive information about the revolution cannabis is creating, in back gardens and in states, nations and countries, is essential. It ensures that policy dialogues are based on facts, not fallacies. It allows the general public to form its opinion free from unjust political manipulation.
This is why Cannabis News Network was established.
Cannabis News Network’s goal is to bring journalistic, factual, independent cannabis news to create awareness all over the world, for everybody. To show policymakers that the time is ripe to regulate, stimulate and finally recognize the enormous potential of cannabis. For politicians and activists to know their facts better. For people suffering from ailments to know how cannabis can benefit their health and reduce pain. For recreational users how to enjoy responsibly. For entrepreneurs to create green jobs and invest in a cleaner environment. For tax authorities to expand public finances. For investors to pursue fair trade. For the UN to create global policy cohesion. For journalists to spread these messages.
