What is scromiting? It’s a pretty scary sounding side effect of having too much THC in your system. A mashup of screaming and vomiting, the official title is Cannabinioid Hyperemesis Syndrome, or CHS for short. CHS is back in the news because of a new study that came out recently showing that cases of CHS […]
Finally, Virginia has a plan. Ever since possession and cultivation of marijuana was legalized in the state in 2021, it’s been in a sort of limbo. Despite legalization going into effect, Glenn Youngkin, a staunch opponent of marijuana, became Governor and vetoed anything weed-related that hit his desk. His time in office is coming to […]
Ron Desantis’s governorship is doing all it can to stop the ballot initiative to legalize marijuana from going forward. Last week we had reported that the group leading the charge for the ballot initiative, Smart & Safe Florida, had successfully submitted their amendment after receiving a bunch of push back and reluctance from Desantis. Now, […]
Depending on where you are in the country, your view on the legality of marijuana can vary wildly. If you’re in California, you may even forget that you technically shouldn’t be smoking out in public. On the other hand, if you’re in one of these 8 states, you could be in big trouble. In 2024, […]
Activists are back at it again in Florida to get marijuana legalization on the ballot for 2026.

Green Comfort Dispensary had a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the executive director of the […]
Turns out that THC ended up having an outsized role in the ending of the government shutdown. The spending bill that has caused deadlock for a record amount of time in the Senate finally had enough Democrats willing to back it and allow funding to flow through the federal government again, except for one snag: […]
A super interesting Gallup poll has come out showing the views on legal marijuana dropping off a cliff for Republicans. Although a majority still supports legalization, the trends are showing that we may have hit peak support. Republicans are certainly losing interest in legal marijuana, and these voices are only getting louder, despite Trump’s reluctance […]
The Trump administration is increasing its anti-marijuana stance by trying to link cannabis with the fentanyl crisis in our country. The latest comes from an organization, Make America Fentanyl Free, that is linked to Trump and reportedly gave input on their campaign. MAFF released an ad that very explicitly links the overdose deaths in our […]
In a pivot that would seem ridiculous in the 60’s and 70’s of last century, more people consume marijuana than smoke cigarettes, according to a new study.
