This week we sat down with The Green Chef (also known as Indulgently Green UK), our newest writer and edibles creator, to discuss cooking with cannabis.
In the future, The Green Chef will be posting some of his great recipes up on ISMOKE Magazine for our readers, and we wanted to kick things off with an interview to introduce him to you all:

We wrote an article earlier this week, describing how Cannabis prices are falling across the US due to legalisation in some states.
Well, according to the Washington Post, Jonathan Caulkins, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and Steve Davenport of the Pardee RAND Graduate School recently aggregated price data on cannabis for the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board and concluded that the cost of the cannabis is “now steadily falling at about 2 percent per month.”

It's that time again, folks. ISMOKE weekly Roundup!
This week we have seen great growth on both our facebook and Instagram pages, which shows that we are getting the ISMOKE message out to more cannabis users in the UK and worldwide than ever before.
Thanks for the continued support! Check out some of the articles we posted this week across the ISMOKE network:

In 2015 experts predicted that cannabis prices would rise as a result of legalisation and taxation. Now it has become apparent that the opposite has happened, with cannabis prices dropping in America.
There were initial price hikes just after legalisation in the uncertain environment as businesses began to be set up around cannabis, but now overall the retail price of cannabis is going down across the States - as regulation replaces prohibition, the risks of growing cannabis are going down, and therefore so is the cost.

Do You know about Barcelona Cannabis Clubs and how they operate?
Perception of cannabis worldwide is currently undergoing a massive shift. There are just too many good stories from across the globe to ignore and it is becoming increasingly difficult for media sources to try and push the old cannabis propaganda. Over the past week, we have seen (comparatively) positive cannabis features on both The Daily Mail and The Mirror asking whether legalisation may be the sensible way forward, and this shows just how much the media over here in the UK is beginning to shift.
As we continue our fight to legalise cannabis both for medicinal and recreational purposes in the UK, other countries are steaming ahead with the green industry. One country that has had a legal cannabis scene for a few years now is Spain, where cannabis social clubs are legally allowed to operate on a private member’s club basis.

In recent years, calls to end the global war on drugs, particularly against cannabis, have grown louder — and show no signs of stopping. As evidence continues to mount showing the decriminalisation of cannabis can have profound benefits, however, one potential side effect of ending the costly battle against the plant is only beginning to gain attention.
