The Social Story of Cannabis - The Narrative to Hook a President into Doing the Right Thing
The social narrative around cannabis has always been in flux, shifting with political winds, cultural movements, and economic interests. But recently, I've noticed a fascinating trend - while more states legalize and public acceptance grows, there's been a curious uptick in negative press and dubious studies making the rounds in mainstream media. This dichotomy points to a growing schism between those in power and the will of the people.

How Legal Hemp Accidentally Broke the War on Weed: When Cops Can't Tell the Difference
We're now watching a fascinating legal drama unfold in North Carolina's courts, where officers are literally testifying under oath that they can smell the difference between two identical substances. In one case, Officer Jason Cleary told a judge that marijuana has a "very distinct strong smell" while hemp is "not as pungent." Another officer claimed he attended "marijuana spotter school" and could identify marijuana by smell alone.

New Federal Study Proves That Cannabis Treats Anxiety and Depression - The Push for Schedule 3 That Was Needed?
More importantly, there are clear political implications. When federally funded research shows that cannabis can have positive mental health benefits, it serves as fuel for legalization momentum and can help push for the rescheduling of marijuana later on through the Controlled Substances Act. Unfortunately, cannabis is still considered a Schedule 1 substance which, in other words, says that it has no accepted medical use.

Will Trump Cut Staffing at the DEA if Cannabis is Rescheduled to 3 or Descheduled?
After over fifty years of existence, the Drug Enforcement Administration has compiled a track record that would make any other federal agency blush with shame. They've lost the War on Drugs spectacularly, overseen the rise of the deadliest overdose crisis in American history, and spent hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars with virtually nothing to show for it except overcrowded prisons and destroyed communities.

The same study also noted that while there was a significant rise among 14 types of cancer, the good news was that there was a decrease of incidences among 19 other types of cancer. As a result, the mortality rate isn’t rising. However, being diagnosed with cancer is not something anyone can take lightly: it’s a genuinely scary diagnosis that can cause serious financial and emotional strain.

The Dawn of the Femme Stoner: How Women are Becoming Cannabis Culture's New Queens
This shift isn't happening in a vacuum. It coincides with rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenage girls – 57% report persistent sadness compared to 29% of boys. Meanwhile, 40 states have legalized medical marijuana, normalizing cannabis as medicine rather than just recreation. For girls dealing with everything from menstrual cramps to social media-induced anxiety, a discreet vape pen offers relief without the stigma of traditional smoking.

When the Supreme Court Gets High: Two Cannabis Cases That Could Change Everything
On one hand, we have U.S. v. Hemani, where the government wants to clarify that anyone who's ever touched cannabis should be permanently barred from exercising their Second Amendment rights. On the other, there's Canna Provisions v. Bondi, a direct challenge to the federal government's authority to criminalize state-legal cannabis operations. These cases represent the inevitable collision between outdated federal prohibition and the reality that most Americans – and most states – have moved on.

Can Low-Dose THC Be Used To Medicate Young Children?
However, just because it can get you high doesn’t mean it has no place in medicine, even in pediatric care. It’s best not to oversimplify things and avoid ignoring the science because the studies and countless anecdotal evidence shows that THC, in the right doses and when administered under clinical supervision, is safe and effective for treating children.
