A survey with 132,000 participants was conducted through 23andme, the popular DNA tracing website, in order to see where drug dependency comes from. Turns out, they found a specific genome within a DNA strand that, if you have it, makes you more prone to becoming addicted. The study compared DNA of thousands of people in […]
Targets in Minnesota are quietly getting into the marijuana business. In 10 stores within the state (which is where Target is headquartered), some drinks infused with THC are going to appear on shelves. This is a huge step towards the mainstream for THC drinks, but comes at a difficult time. At the same moment this […]
Trump’s words hold lots of real world sway, so when he releases a video that pretty explicitly endorses CBD as a medical tool for older citizens, this is going to be taken seriously. Due to this, Stanford Medicine has kindly created a list of important things to consider when new to cannabis, even adorned with […]
No financial advice here, but with all the teasing going on in the Trump administration, people are jumping back on the weed stock bandwagon. We’ve seen this trend happen before, mainly in 2022 when there was an expectation that Biden would do some sort of legalization when in office. That never came to pass, and […]
It’s been interesting over the years to see how large social media companies have been dealing with marijuana content on their platforms. On Tiktok, you have to use code, Facebook doesn’t allow any advertising, and X is pretty much a free-for-all. But now, the focus has turned to how AI programs answer any questions dealing […]
This Sunday, Trump posted a video without any other comment that very explicitly endorses CBD and cannabis as a medical treatment for older people.

A 50% tariff on anything coming in from India is sure to have some unexpected ripple effects, and one of them is the pre-roll cone industry. Pre-rolls accounted for $2.3 billion in sales last year, so a substantial increase in their price is no small matter. India handles about half of the world’s cones, with […]
We’re in the midst of some deep anticipation in the marijuana world, with Trump teasing some movement on rescheduling. If he does end up rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III, banks would be able to work with marijuana companies without any fear of retribution from the federal government. But until then, they’re in a limbo. The […]
In an interview with The Dales Report, GOP Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky is sounding the alarm for the end of the hemp loophole that allows certain psycho-active strains to be sold in states where marijuana is not legal. A Senate agriculture bill recently had language in it that would ban these products across the […]
There’s no bigger issue within the marijuana market than too high taxes. That’s especially the case in California, where rates can go up to 35% and push many consumers to the illicit market.
