Dirt Matters: The Underground Truth About Growing Killer Cannabis
Here's the counterintuitive truth that this federally funded study reveals: cannabis plants grown in nutrient-depleted, biologically dead soil produced significantly higher THC levels than plants in rich, healthy soil. The conventionally tilled fields—where soil structure is destroyed annually, beneficial microbes are killed off, and organic matter is depleted—created plants pumping out THC at rates that would make any recreational grower drool.

The BOL-Crap Guidelines: Why Federal Drug Sentencing Is Designed to Punish the Poor While Banks Walk Free
This is the system working exactly as designed: punishing poor people, disproportionately Black and Latino, for low-level participation in drug distribution while protecting wealthy institutions and individuals whose involvement dwarfs street dealers by orders of magnitude. The new sentencing amendments are a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. The entire framework deserves to be dismantled and rebuilt from principles of proportionality, equity, and actual justice rather than the current apparatus of class warfare disguised as drug policy.

Sunny Day Flip-Flops: How Republicans Abandoned Cannabis Because Trump Told Them To
What changed? Policy? No. Evidence? No. Trump's messaging? Absolutely. The same poll shows that 74% of Republicans believe Trump is making progress on illegal drugs, compared to just 33% of Democrats and 34% of Independents who feel that way. Republicans convinced themselves that bombing boats and tariff threats constitute effective drug policy, and simultaneously decided cannabis legalization—which they supported just two years ago—is now bad.

Why Do Pregnant Women Continue Using Weed Despite The ‘Risks’?
There are many reasons why pregnant women can benefit from smoking pot. Aside from reasons that affect everyone: anxiety, stress, pain relief, and insomnia, to name a few, pregnant women also experience conditions that cannabis has proven to help treat. These include pregnancy-induced vomiting and nausea (morning sickness).

AI Psychosis and Cannabis Psychosis: Why the Substance Isn't the Problem
This inconsistency reveals something crucial about drug policy: the psychosis argument was never about protecting vulnerable people. It was about justifying prohibition of a substance that threatened certain interests. Because if we genuinely cared about preventing psychosis, we'd be banning social media, AI chatbots, and countless other triggers before we'd prohibit a plant humans have used for thousands of years.

Beyond Dank: Why Cannabis Desperately Needs a Standardized Smell Language
New research from Oregon State University, published in PLOS One, confirms what many experienced cannabis users have suspected—the cannabis industry's obsession with terpene profiles as predictors of aroma and effects is built on shaky foundations. After recruiting a 21-judge panel to systematically assess 91 samples of unburnt marijuana flower using 25 standardized descriptors, researchers discovered that terpene content is a poor predictor of cannabis's actual scent profile.

Alcohol Has a Big Cannabis Problem - The More Dispensaries You Open, The More Alcohol Sales Drop
This article explores what happens when America's most destructive legal drug faces competition from a demonstrably safer alternative. What are alcohol's true costs? How does cannabis compare? And what would 10%, 25%, or even 50% reduction in alcohol consumption mean for public health, crime, and economics? The Oregon study provides the foundation for understanding what might be the most significant public health development of the 21st century: the voluntary substitution of cannabis for alcohol at a population scale

A President's Plea: Why Colombia's President Is Right About Legalizing Everything
Colombian President Gustavo Petro did something remarkable last week: he publicly told Donald Trump to legalize marijuana and end the War on Drugs. Not as an academic exercise or a progressive policy proposal, but as an urgent plea from a leader whose country has borne the brunt of American drug policy for over half a century.

Getting High Before Drinking Leads to Much Less Alcohol Consumption Says New Study
According to researchers from Colorado State University, the study participants reported less alcohol cravings and drank less booze following pot consumption. The study, whose results were published in the medical journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, involved offering alcoholic drinks every 15 minutes within a 1-hour session to participants. In sessions when they were allowed to partake weed before the session, they noticed that the subjects experienced a reduced intake of alcoholic beverages by 25%.

Cannabis Allergies - When Weed Makes You Wheeze
Cannabis allergies are real, increasingly recognized by allergists, and more common than most people realize. A recent Canadian study found that 40% of adult cannabis users in a clinical setting reported symptoms compatible with cannabis allergy upon exposure. Let that sink in—nearly half of people exposed to cannabis may experience some form of allergic reaction.

Cannabis Conquers America: What Happens When Weed Becomes the People's Choice?
Something remarkable happened in America between 2021 and 2023, and most people didn't even notice. Cannabis surpassed cigarettes as the substance of choice for adult Americans. According to comprehensive research from SUNY and the University of Kentucky analyzing National Survey on Drug Use and Health data, cannabis-only use jumped from 7.2% to 10.6% of adults during that period, while cigarette-only use declined from 10.8% to 8.8%.
