As cannabis legalization sweeps the nation, entrepreneurs are finding new ways to weave weed into … whatever.

Take these recent examples. Maine’s first radio show about cannabis has been airing on WFMX-107.9 The Mix, reports the Portland Press Herald.

"We want to entertain them, but in between all the songs, we are gonna educate them, and hopefully, once they have the facts, we’re gonna activate them,” said Dawson Julia, the owner of a medical marijuana shop and cohost of "Cannabis Connection."



Meanwhile, in Colorado, where voters legalized recreational marijuana in 2012, someone opened a cannabis-friendly gym. Break the Stigma Fitness in Wheat Ridge offers group classes such as yoga and kickboxing, reports KDVR-TV. No marijuana is sold there, but patrons are offered free samples.

Patron Ashley Kingsley finds it a great way to let loose.

“Gotta get the kids to sports, gotta make dinner, gotta clean the house, gotta work 40 hours a week. When I come in here and I consume cannabis, this softens," she told the TV station, gesturing to her head, “and my body comes alive.”

At least one sponsor of the bill thinks it still has a chance. [Alan J. Keays, VTDigger.org]
