According to a recent federally funded study, which is discussed on Marijuana Moment, individuals who consumed cannabis right before drinking booze ended up drinking less – and even reported having reduced cravings for booze! Subsidized by the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the study is more evidence of substitution, wherein individuals replace part of all of their alcohol consumption with weed.
Cannabis beverages represent perhaps the most direct challenge to alcohol's dominance. They come in similar packaging, offer comparable social consumption experiences, and promise relaxation without the physical damage of ethanol. Sales of these products increased 40% last year alone, with some markets reporting that over 20% of legal cannabis purchases now come in liquid form.

For thousands of years, cannabis has been recognized as an aphrodisiac in cultures spanning from ancient India to modern Jamaica. The 7th century Indian Ayurvedic text Ananga Ranga prescribed cannabis to increase sexual pleasure, while in the 1930s, jazz musicians coined the term "viper's drag" for the heightened sensual experiences cannabis facilitated. Today, with legalization expanding, couples are rediscovering what these earlier cultures knew—cannabis has remarkable effects on sexual function, pleasure, and connection.
Cannabis pouches, particularly those containing cannabidiol (CBD), are an emerging product category that mirrors the form factor and convenience of nicotine pouches. CBD, a non-intoxicating cannabinoid, is increasingly sought after for its potential therapeutic benefits, including stress relief, relaxation, and pain management.
Pink Pepper is a one-of-a-kind marijuana strain developed by Professor Jung Dae Lim, together with his colleagues from the Kangwon National University in South Korea. The Institute of Cannabis Research worked together with Professor Lim and his team, as well as the Korean Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the Chuncheon Bioindustry Foundation. Together, they mapped out the genome sequence, resulting in a unique cannabis DNA strain that is 99,6% complete, with more than 30,000 marijuana genes and 770 million DNA base pairs – a mammoth feat that no other cannabis cultivator has ever achieved.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Grows - The ability to choose from either growing weed indoors or outdoors is a luxury! Many don’t have access to both choices, but for those, the decision will ultimately come from your resources, local environment, and priorities. And for those who can choose, there’s no doubt that growing weed outdoors is superior to growing weed indoors.
In a move that should alarm anyone who values democratic principles, the Texas Senate has passed a bill that would prohibit cities from placing marijuana decriminalization initiatives on local ballots. The legislation, which passed in a 23-8 vote, now heads to the House of Representatives where it could take another step toward becoming law.
The cannabis industry is now a major job generator, responsible for the creation of more than 440,000 full-time roles just last year. That’s more than a 5% jump from the previous year, which shows how the cannabis industry has recovered well from the pandemic.
A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry is making waves with claims of having found the biological "smoking gun" that links cannabis use to psychosis. As someone who's spent years analyzing cannabis research, I'm always interested when scientists announce breakthrough findings—but I'm equally committed to examining such claims with a critical eye.
