.@ScHoolboyQ says he’s done smoking weed after years of heavy use, saying the habit eventually stopped doing anything for him and had become more automatic than intentional. He also pointed wanting to set an example for his children as part of the reason for stepping away. “I will say that it does have health benefits for certain people, but the way I was using it? No.” hightimes.com/celebrities/sc…

🌿 For decades, older Americans were told to fear marijuana. Now, a growing number of them say it's working better for them than the prescriptions they've relied on for years. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/news/2026/05/1…

Thanks for writing! We share the concern and skepticism over how federal licenses will be awarded and how a business can cater the SAME product to different clientele while remaining compliant. And why surrender all that information to an authority without guarantees? This is an industry has a long history of mistrust with governments, and the latest executive action to spur support with rescheduling does not build trust in our minds. Editorial note: there are two instances where you refer to the acting attorney general as AGG instead of AAG (on two headers).

A former federal prosecutor and former IRS lawyer warn the cannabis industry about jumping on the DEA registration bandwagon for Schedule III. "Becoming a part of the new federal 'registration pathway' cedes tremendous authority to federal authorities." cannabisbusinesstimes.com/cannabis-resch…

Target is expanding hemp-derived THC drink sales to more than 300 stores across Texas, Florida, and Illinois. The move comes despite a looming federal ban on most intoxicating hemp products set to take effect in late 2026. Industry insiders believe major retailers may expect either a regulatory compromise, state-level workarounds, or future federal revisions rather than a complete market collapse, signaled by moves like this.

Cannabis is a gateway drug. A gateway to wellness and less dependence on prescriptions medications.

@ALEXAGY0 2014: The Rohrabacher–Farr amendment passes the U.S. House and is signed into law. Requiring annual renewal, it prohibits the Justice Department from interfering with the implementation of state medical cannabis laws

How is cannabis legalized in some US states if it's federally illegal? Doesn't federal law trump state law?

Pretty wild that the cannabis legalization discussion in 2026 always diverts right to "but what about the industry"? The industry as we know it today has barely existed a decade, and the legalization issue has been for almost 90 years. The issue has always been about freedom and freeing the plant, not protecting some industry exempt from laws that continue to prosecute all of us. #growyourown #cannabis

A core principle of harm reduction: banning a product doesn't eliminate demand. It eliminates the regulated supply. When tested, labeled hemp disappears from shelves in November, people who depend on it won't stop using. They'll find other sources—often ones with no testing, no COAs, and no accountability.

@surfacearea999 Those are some really beautiful shots! Well done.

I’ve been shooting at Kush family from Washington lately. 🔥

It’s fascinating to see leaders—many of whom benefit from the very "normalization" they decry—propose invasive surveillance as a solution to a public health crisis. We don’t need more wastewater testing; we need policy makers who prioritize lived experience and proven science over outdated enforcement tactics.

Scoop from @CBSNews: Trump admin is proposing wastewater testing on a national level to try to ferret out data on illegal drug use in real time, according to a draft of a new drug control strategy. The strategy also accuses pop culture of normalizing drug use, and says marketers of addictive substances -- including nicotine, alcohol, marijuana and psychedelics -- have adopted "strategies similar to Big Tobacco's historical targeting of young audiences." cbsnews.com/news/new-white…

@AMartinelliWA Why the bias against online storefronts? We would love to serve the fine people of Delaware premium, compliant cannabis products but this law would make that very difficult without going through a chain of distribution middlemen.

A bill filed today in the Delaware House would place hemp-derived THC products under the state’s marijuana regulatory system, requiring products above a set THC threshold to be sold only through licensed marijuana stores. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/04/delawa…

Decades of "Schedule I" status created a culture of distrust that a 60-day expedited window won't fix. Many operators are looking at that DEA application and seeing more red flags than green lights. 🚩 The reward is tax relief; the risk is total federal transparency. Who’s actually biting?

The Trump administration is in the midst of loosening restrictions for medical cannabis businesses, but after decades of federal prohibition, a sense of distrust remains among many state-licensed operators now weighing expedited DEA registration. cannabisbusinesstimes.com/cannabis-resch…

Rescheduling to Schedule III is a massive win for 280E tax relief, but let’s talk about the downstream shift. We’re likely to see a huge push toward medical program standardization. Does this create an even playing field, or is it a fast track for the industry behemoths to consolidate? The "small business" era of hemp/cannabis is at a crossroads.
