An American basketball player could face the death penalty or a lengthy prison sentence in Indonesia after being arrested for possessing marijuana gummies that he says were used to treat his Crohn’s disease. Jarred Shaw, a 35-year-old Texan who helped lead Prawira Bandung to victory in the 2023 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL), was arrested in […]
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.

A Pennsylvania man convicted of lying about his marijuana use on a federal firearms form is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up his case, arguing that the government’s ban on gun ownership by cannabis consumers violates the Constitution.

It’s been interesting over the years to see how large social media companies have been dealing with marijuana content on their platforms.

The plan, backed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, calls for a new 24% wholesale tax on cannabis sales. Supporters say the measure would generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually to repair Michigan’s notoriously battered roads, a policy supporters have dubbed “pot for potholes.” The House approved the bill earlier this month, and it now awaits […]
This Sunday, Trump posted a video without any other comment that very explicitly endorses CBD and cannabis as a medical treatment for older people.
