An international team of researchers has confirmed a significant link between cannabis addiction and major depression. Analyzing data from over 3 million people, the study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research reveals that nearly a third of individuals with Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) also suffer from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), highlighting a critical mental health overlap as global cannabis use rises.
Read moreThe Texas Department of State Health Services is set to enforce a “total THC” standard on March 31, effectively removing smokable hemp from the market while significantly increasing licensing fees for retailers.
Read moreA comprehensive double-blind study reveals that THC doesn’t just blur your past; it actively reshapes your reality by creating vivid false memories and disrupting future task management.
Read moreA comprehensive analysis of 100 million people reveals that amphetamines, cocaine, and cannabis significantly elevate stroke probability, particularly among adults under 55.
Read moreA new bill in the Michigan State Senate aims to repeal the controversial 24% wholesale excise tax on marijuana. Following a sharp 16% drop in sales and revenue shortfalls for schools and communities, lawmakers argue the tax has damaged the industry and failed to meet funding projections.
Read moreYes, emerging research indicates that cannabis-infused beverages may effectively help individuals reduce their alcohol intake. A survey found that users of these drinks reported significantly lowering their weekly alcohol consumption and engaging in fewer binge drinking episodes, suggesting a potential role for these products in harm reduction strategies.
Read moreRescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III would fundamentally alter the financial landscape for legal cannabis businesses by eliminating the Section 280E tax penalty. This change would allow businesses to deduct standard operating expenses, potentially saving the industry billions. However, it also represents a form of deregulation, removing a federal lever that currently shapes industry structure, financing, and compliance.
Read moreWhile federal marijuana policy trends toward liberalization, the hemp industry faces a severe regulatory contraction in 2026. Late 2025 legislation has fundamentally redefined lawful hemp, targeting the booming market of intoxicating hemp-derived products. President Trump’s signing of H.R. 5371 introduces a “Total THC” standard and strict per-container caps, setting a compliance “cliff” for November 12, 2026. For brands, manufacturers, and retailers, this is an existential pivot: current portfolios of Delta-8, THCA flower, and high-potency gummies may become federally illegal overnight.
Read moreA groundbreaking study from the University at Buffalo (UB) suggests that cannabis-infused beverages are evolving from a niche novelty into a viable harm-reduction tool for alcohol consumption. Published in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, the research indicates that adults who incorporate THC drinks into their routine significantly lower their alcohol intake. By preserving the social ritual of “having a drink” while substituting the psychoactive substance, users reported cutting their weekly alcohol consumption by half, offering a potential off-ramp for those looking to moderate their drinking year-round.
Read moreFederal cannabis policy enters 2026 in a precarious “split-screen” posture. While hemp faces a potential federal contraction, marijuana is moving decisively toward a less restrictive status. Following President Trump’s December 18, 2025 Executive Order, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is now under direct instruction to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III “in the most expeditious manner.” However, for operators and investors, the immediate task is separating the material financial benefits—specifically 280E tax relief—from the persistent legal frictions that rescheduling will not solve.
