On May 18th, a local TV Station in New York that goes by the name of SNY, aired a TV spot for a weed dispensary during a Mets game. This has been so extremely off limits for so long that one would think the station made a mistake. In fact, there was some backlash to […]
Virginia has really been put through the ringer in its journey to getting legal marijuana in the state. After an entire tenure of a Republican governor who refused to pass anything marijuana related, a Democrat was elected in 2024 that was very marijuana friendly. A marijuana sales bill was passed in March by the State […]
They didn’t make a big announcement about it, but TSA is changing how it views marijuana in a subtle but important way. Last month, the TSA website was updated to say that medical marijuana would be allowed in carry-on and checked bags. TSA then reiterated that they aren’t necessarily looking for illegal substances, just anything […]
It seems Florida has missed the window on legalizing recreational marijuana for the time being. In 2024, the state voted on legalization, but had to cross a higher hurdle of 60% of the vote.

So where, exactly, is AI’s footprint in the cannabis industry? MJBizDaily took a peak into this issue and found some concrete examples of […]
After the bluster of the original announcement faded, it wasn’t very clear if anything was actually going to happen with marijuana rescheduling in the US. Trump announced the move, signed the executive order, then nothing. For months. But now, with an acting Attorney General who is trying very hard to make a good impression with […]
Joe Rogan texted President Trump about the benefits of ibogaine and four days later, Trump acted on it. He didn’t necessarily legalize the treatment, but he did pave the way for the FDA to act on it. This is all great news, and a smart move for the president in order to win back a […]
