Trump Expected to Ease Federal Marijuana Restrictions The cannabis industry is buzzing with anticipation as President Trump prepares to sign an executive order that could significantly impact the legal landscape for marijuana. The potential reclassification could pave the way for increased research, development, and commercialization of both THC and CBD-based products, providing a much-needed boost to an industry that has long operated in a legal gray area.

Marijuana in Your Car:

Understanding Arizona's Laws Arizona legalized marijuana in 2020, but with that came a new set of rules and regulations. There are strict limits on the amount of THC and CBD you can possess at any given time, and the law also regulates how you can transport it. Failure to follow these guidelines could lead to charges related to the transportation of a controlled substance. Plummeting Cannabis Cultivation Permits Reshape the Industry The U.S. cannabis industry is undergoing a significant shift, as the number of active cultivation permits has dropped by a staggering 24% since 2023. Industry experts attribute this contraction to a complex interplay of factors, including oversaturation, regulatory changes, and evolving consumer preferences.

Cannabis social equity initiatives among US states with legal non-medical cannabis retail: A review and recommendations This study described state social equity initiatives related to equitable industry entrepreneurship opportunities, community reinvestment, and criminal justice reform. The findings suggest that these social equity initiatives may help address historical inequities and promote more equitable participation in the cannabis industry. Mothers Marketing to Mothers: An Exploration of Cannabis Use and Constructions of Motherhood on Instagram and Blog Posts This study explored the online movement of "Cannamom culture", which promotes the acceptance of cannabis use among mothers. The findings highlight the need for healthcare providers and policymakers to understand the online narratives around cannabis use and motherhood, and to develop appropriate interventions and policies. Pictorial warning labels reduce sharing intentions, blunt self-relevance processes elicited by social media posts promoting cannabis edibles This study examined the effects of warning labels on individuals' intentions to share social media posts promoting cannabis edibles and the underlying neural mechanisms. The findings suggest that warning labels may discourage sharing by negatively influencing perceptions of self-relevance.
