Jamaica’s new cannabis permits promise traditional ganja farmers a path into the legal market. Whether that path works remains to be seen.

Texas cannabis laws created a strange split market of hemp, medical cannabis, and marijuana prohibition. Here’s how the confusion took hold.

We legalized weed in most states. So why does it still feel broken? Ten voices on the cannabis frontline explain what got built, what got broken and what’s still worth saving.

From coffee-counter rumor to federal raids and adult-use legalization, one Montana insider looks at how the state built its cannabis market.

Georgia doctors urged Gov. Kemp to veto SB 220—but their claims don’t hold up under scrutiny.

Before he built one of Texas’ largest hemp companies, Lukas Gilkey was boarding drug boats in the Caribbean Sea. What he saw there convinced him the war on drugs was idiotic. What he built after may soon be banned by the same federal government he used to work for.

The TSA updated its public-facing Medical Marijuana page on April 27, the day before Schedule III rescheduling took effect, listing cannabis as permitted in carry-on and checked bags with “Special Instructions.” The agency hasn’t written those instructions.
