Medmen is one of the largest cultivators and distributors of cannabis in the state of California. The company has its own grow facility in Los Angeles and Cheddar visited the facility to learn all about cannabis cultivation and the seed to sale aspect of the industry. Daniel explains that to keep consistency and quality of the cannabis, the plants are cloned from the best ones to ensure quality control. He explains that the mother plants are used to plant and grow baby ones and continue the exact same line of plant. Once the plants have been planted, they are placed in the flowering room for eight days where conditions are extremely controlled to allow for optimal growth. Finally, the plants are placed under LED lights, sometimes even purple ones, to make the marijuana look visually appealing and create different types of flowers.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
