Randy of Jowell & Randy has launched La Zaza, a cannabis brand built on Caribbean identity and premium positioning. He says he’s in the lab, not just on the label, and that West Coast brands have quality but no cultural soul.

What cannabis is teaching us about pesticides and modern agriculture.
Five years of contradictions in one job description. Cannabis lawyers in the US and Argentina on 280E, hemp loopholes, deals built on good vibes and why Jimmy McGill is less fictional than he looks.
Cannabis dispensaries logged 679 events in the first half of 2026, more than in all of 2025. Capri King of Kings House of Fire, marketing consultant Jamie Cooper and Event-Hi’s Adelia Fakhri on why timing decides whether a pop-up pays for itself, what swag people actually keep, and what gets a brand ambassador sent home.
Chain dispensaries earn twice the wholesale discounts and reorder every two weeks. Independents order every 24 days and stock the same eight SKUs per order. Operators and wholesale data on where the two models actually diverge, and where they don’t.
An eighth costs $15 in Washington and $52 in Kentucky, where every buyer is a patient. Former Massachusetts cannabis regulator Shawn Collins uses High Times’ price index and a bourbon thought experiment to explain why state borders force every legal market to rebuild an entire supply chain, what license caps cost patients, and what’s holding the border shut.
Ecuador’s hemp sector is projected to approach or surpass $20 million in 2026 as companies move beyond raw biomass into chocolates, cosmetics, supplements, veterinary products
The national price of an eighth moved seven cents in a year, but 24 of 34 states cut theirs. Medical patients look gouged until you weight by how much each state actually sells, and then the gap vanishes to a single cent. What’s left is store count: states with fewer than 25 dispensaries sell an eighth at $43.89, states with more than 300 sell it at $18.50.
Berner calls them the Chads: the ones who arrive with contracts and agendas and no feel for the plant. A new wave of institutional money is about to be free to deploy into cannabis, and the last one took MedMen, Flow Kana, Canopy and High Times itself from the people who built them. Rolando García on what the term sheets did, and what the founders who kept control did differently.
High Times started printing weed prices in 1974 so buyers would stop getting fleeced by people who knew the going rate. Trans-High Market Quotations is now a live index built on daily dispensary point-of-sale data, free, sortable by state. And for the markets receipts never reach, we want your numbers.
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies has worked with universities, clinicians and the Department of Defense. Its first partnership with a cannabis company is HoneyProjects, a three-store New Jersey operator whose newest dispensary opened August 29 in Elmwood Park. It’s education and outreach at retail, not research, and that’s what makes the venue interesting.

Jamaica has introduced two new special permits designed to help traditional growers and small farmers enter its regulated cannabis industry despite the financial, technical and administrative barriers that have historically kept them out. The reforms create transitional and community-based pathways into the legal market while extending cultivation licenses and simplifying some requirements. Jamaica is one of the countries with the

Ecuador’s hemp sector is projected to approach or surpass $20 million in 2026 as companies move beyond raw biomass into chocolates, cosmetics, supplements, veterinary products and other finished goods. With more than 700 companies operating across the supply chain, the industry is now looking to capture more value domestically while expanding finished-product exports into international markets.
