Flash Survey Reveals More Employers Are Testing Applicants for Cannabis Than Two Years Ago
Employer hesitation to test applicants for cannabis appears to have slowed in the past two years, according to the results from our latest FP Flash Survey. 60% of employers now test job applicants for cannabis, up from 52% when we asked the same question in 2024. And part of the reason appears to be that the hiring market will permit a stricter approach: employers that test are now less likely to report trouble finding qualified candidates than they were two years ago. Those are just a few of the surprising findings from the latest FP Flash Survey, conducted between July 20 and July 31, gathering responses from over 600 businesses across the country |

Thailand Presses Medical-Only Cannabis Bill Toward Cabinet as Enforcement Drive Widens
Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health is pressing ahead with a draft Cannabis and Hemp Act that would restrict its liberal cannabis market to purely medical and research use cases.

Federally Funded Study Finds High Marijuana Taxes Boost Black Market
A newly released federally-funded study suggests that states with higher taxes on legal cannabis may be unintentionally encouraging consumers to purchase cannabis from illegal sellers instead of licensed retailers.

Researchers analyzed how pricing and taxation influence purchasing decisions in both regulated and unregulated markets. |

The Contradictions of Cannabis Law: From the United States to International Treaties
Cannabis law has never been more contradictory. In the U.S., federal and state governments often regulate identical products under completely different legal frameworks. Hemp and marijuana can produce the same intoxicating effects, yet lawmakers treat them as fundamentally different. Medical marijuana now occupies a unique place under federal law while adult use marijuana remains prohibited. Internationally, countries continue to expand legalization, despite treaty obligations that appear to prohibit it. |

Beyond the THC Number: How Cannabis Retail Can Make Room for Quality
For much of Canada’s legal cannabis market, one number has carried an extraordinary amount of weight: THC percentage. It appears prominently on product labels, retail menus and purchasing spreadsheets. Consumers use it to compare products, budtenders rely on it when sensory information is limited, and buyers use it to assess anticipated demand. Over time, this has helped create a self-reinforcing market in which higher THC is often treated as shorthand for stronger effects, better quality and greater value. |

B.C. has a craft cannabis advantage — now it needs a strategy
British Columbia has built a global reputation around craft: wine, beer, cider, local food, small farms and tourism experiences that connect products to the people and places behind them. Craft cannabis should be part of that story. B.C. is home to one of the world’s most respected cannabis cultures, with more than 230 licensed producers, nearly 500 independent retailers, more than 5,000 jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue. Yet provincial policy still treats legal cannabis more like a regulatory file than an economic sector to grow. |

Alabama may opt out of federal marijuana rescheduling. What happens next?

The answer, according to legal experts, is complicated. However, the issue shouldn’t affect the ongoing rollout of Alabama’s medical cannabis market. |
