Julie Littman and Joseph Pimentel
 

Just days after recreational use of cannabis became legal in California, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded a memo written during the Obama administration that many viewed as instrumental in the booming legal cannabis industry.

The initial reaction was one of confusion, but some cannabis dispensaries said they are not concerned about the long-term implications even as some landlords weighed what it might mean for them.

“I'd be lying if I said it didn't cause commotion,” MedMen Vice President of Corporate Communications Daniel Yi said. “There was a huge reverberation, for a lack of a better term, across the legal cannabis industry.” Yi said the potential…

The Great Indoors: Employers Bring Nature Inside The Workplace To Increase Employee Happiness

When it comes to building design today, a focus on environmental connection is taking precedence.

Humans have an innate need to connect with their natural environment and many companies are going the extra mile to bring nature indoors for employees' benefit.

Employers have gotten a head start on this trend by incorporating green terraces, green roofs, gardens and green walls in their offices. Beyond creating a more attractive interior, biophilic design can improve mental and physical well-being while also reducing CO2 emissions, leading to better air quality for all.
