The latest embarrassment from the DEA's "Just Think Twice" campaign would be hilarious if it weren't so dangerous. They're literally comparing a plant that's never killed anyone to a synthetic stimulant that destroys brains, rots teeth, and turns users into violent zombies. But according to the DEA's crack team of "experts," cannabis is the real threat because some psychiatrist in Oregon made an offhand comment without citing any comparative studies.
While scientists celebrate discovering 33 genetic markers that could revolutionize cannabis breeding, a darker story is unfolding in the background. The same market forces driving cannabis legalization are systematically destroying the plant's genetic diversity, creating what researchers call "the bottlenecking of cannabis genetics." We're witnessing a botanical catastrophe in real time—the homogenization of one of nature's most diverse and therapeutically complex plants.
The key finding wasn't about speed—it was about enjoyment and sustainability. Cannabis users reported greater workout enjoyment, enhanced "runner's high" sensations, and improved mood during exercise. These psychological benefits translate into practical advantages: people who enjoy their workouts are more likely to maintain consistent exercise routines long-term.
When a "loophole" accidentally creates a multi-billion dollar industry overnight, maybe it's time to admit it wasn't really a loophole—it was the will of the people finally finding expression despite decades of political obstruction. The 2018 Farm Bill's hemp legalization unleashed something politicians never saw coming: proof that Americans desperately want legal access to cannabis products, even if they have to get them through creative chemistry and regulatory gaps.
A cannabis detox doesn’t have to be painful or punishing. In fact, it can be an empowering reset that improves mental clarity, physical health, and emotional balance. Whether you’re stepping away from cannabis for a short time or making a permanent change, the key is approaching detox with intention, knowledge, and self-compassion.
One of the most striking findings was this: about 62% of marijuana users reported engaging in physical activity three or more times per week, while only 13% admitted to consuming fast food at the same frequency. These numbers suggest that the average cannabis consumer is far more likely to be found on a jogging trail or in a yoga studio than in a drive-thru line.
A groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine has revealed a striking correlation between high levels of cannabis use and increased mortality rates in colon cancer patients
Trump's 2026 fiscal year budget request doesn't just disappoint cannabis advocates—it represents a masterclass in political bait-and-switch. After months of suggesting he'd take a more reasonable approach to cannabis policy, Trump is proposing to delete the longstanding rider that prevents the Justice Department from interfering with state medical marijuana programs. This isn't just policy—it's betrayal of millions of Americans who rely on medical cannabis for serious health conditions.
Even if you are a new buyer or consumer of cannabis, you can avoid making these common mistakes and experience the fullest quality of experience, value, and safety possible from your cannabis flower.
A recent study published in Health Economics provides a smoking gun that prohibition apologists would prefer you ignore. Researchers found that cannabis legalization reduces prescription drug spending by approximately 6% in small group insurance markets, with the effect growing stronger over time. Translation: when people can legally access cannabis, they spend less money on Big Pharma's products.
