How much should an ounce of weed cost? As the U.S. cannabis market surges past $35 billion in annual sales and more states embrace legalization, the answer is more nuanced than ever—shaped by a complex interplay of economics, regulation, quality, and consumer behavior.

Well, folks, it looks like Donald Trump might be the best thing to happen to cannabis consumption since the invention of the vape pen. According to a new Harris Poll, a whopping 50 percent of U.S. marijuana consumers say they expect to use more cannabis under the Trump administration than they have before. That's half of all cannabis users planning to increase their consumption specifically because of who's sitting in the Oval Office.

In a policy memo that reeks of entitlement, the American Beverage Licensees (ABL) trade association is now arguing that "intoxicating THC products" should be sold only by businesses licensed to sell alcohol. You read that right—the same industry that pushed to keep cannabis illegal now wants exclusive rights to sell it.

This Sunday marks a rare celestial alignment—4/20, the unofficial cannabis holiday, falls on Easter Sunday. The last time these two celebrations coincided was in 2014, and before that in 2003. After this year, we'll have to wait until 2087 for this particular convergence to happen again, according to U.S. Census data.

A fascinating new study published in the Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online has revealed something that might shock the pearl-clutchers and prohibition die-hards: most patients are perfectly comfortable with their doctors using cannabis outside of work hours. Yes, you read that right—the people most directly affected by a physician's competence aren't particularly concerned about their off-duty joint.

A vape cartridge is essentially the most important feature of any vape pen. The cart is usually made out of glass; it’s pre-filled and contains the oils or another form of cannabis concentrate which you smoke or inhale. Carts usually sell a half gram or a gram of concentrate inside, and they are available in a wide range of flavors.

But here's what keeps me up at night: How much research is enough? We currently have over 28,000 studies on cannabis, spanning decades of scientific inquiry. That's not counting the thousands of years of documented human use, dating back to some of humanity's earliest agricultural endeavors. Cannabis wasn't just any crop – it was one of the first plants our ancestors chose to cultivate. Think about that for a moment.

As someone who's watched the cannabis industry evolve from underground operations to licensed businesses with barcodes and tracking systems, I find this particularly disturbing. We're witnessing the emergence of a sophisticated shell game where illicit products infiltrate legal markets while regulated cannabis mysteriously disappears—all happening right under regulators' noses.

They sit in circles, eyes gleaming with hope as they declare, "If I could only quit, then everything would be better..." But they're missing something crucial—their addiction isn't the source of their discontent; it's merely a symptom of something deeper.

In a move that surprised absolutely no one who's been paying attention, the White House recently announced it has "no action planned" on marijuana reform. Yes, the same marijuana reform that President Trump enthusiastically backed on the campaign trail just weeks before Election Day.
