Why Terpenes Might Matter More Than Most Cannabis Shoppers Realize
Behind the giant THC percentage sits an enormous amount of chemistry that helps determine what cannabis smells like, tastes like and how one product differs from another. Among the most interesting components are terpenes, the aromatic compounds responsible for many of the scents associated not only with cannabis but also citrus peels, pine trees, lavender, hops and countless other plants. Terpenes are not a replacement for THC. |

‘Stop Destroying Cannabis Farms, Legalise, Regulate’ — Sowore
Human rights activist and African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for destroying cannabis farms in Edo State, calling instead for the legalisation and regulation of cannabis in Nigeria. Sowore, in a post on X on Tuesday, faulted the agency for destroying what he described as economically valuable crops at a time when the country was grappling with widespread poverty. He urged the government to stop destroying cannabis farms and establish a regulated framework that would enable Nigeria to benefit from the plant’s medicinal and industrial uses. |

Thai dentists face legal action for re-signing cannabis prescriptions
BANGKOK – The government has warned dentists not to sign cannabis prescription forms in advance without examining, diagnosing or providing treatment to individual patients, saying the practice could breach four major laws and professional ethical standards. Ploythalay Laksameesaengjan, deputy government spokesperson, said the government was continuing to strengthen controls and monitoring of cannabis use under the Ministry of Public Health notification on controlled herbs, covering cannabis, issued in 2025. Dentists must exercise particular caution when prescribing cannabis as a controlled herb using Form Phor Thor 33, she said. |

Boy who changed law on medicinal cannabis thriving as he turns 21
Turning 21 is a milestone for most. For Charlotte Caldwell, celebrating her son Billy's 21st birthday was something she feared would never happen. Billy Caldwell, from Castlederg in County Tyrone, has a severe form of epilepsy, which at one point had him suffering hundreds of "life-threatening" seizures a day. After a legal battle, Billy was prescribed a cannabis-based medicine which stopped his seizures. Billy is now three years seizure-free and "not just surviving, but thriving", his mother said. |

Immigration and Cannabis Culture in America – Does More Immigration Help Cannabis Business Boom?
America has always changed through cultural collisions. New people arrive, old traditions meet new habits, businesses appear in unexpected places, and after a while something that once seemed unfamiliar becomes part of everyday life. Food is probably the easiest example. Pizza, tacos, sushi, pho, curry, and countless other dishes entered American life through immigration and cultural exchange. Cannabis culture is obviously a different subject, but in 2026 it raises a surprisingly similar question: as America becomes more immigrant and more culturally diverse, does that help cannabis culture—and cannabis business—grow too? |

Marijuana reform is emerging as a midterm elections issue on both sides of the aisle
Marijuana has had a history of highs and lows in the U.S. over the past century — legally, politically and culturally — teetering between vilification and acceptance. Since 1996, 40 states and the District of Columbia have legalized either medical or recreational adult-use marijuana. Yet cannabis, the leafy plant from which marijuana is derived, is still a federally illegal Schedule I drug as defined by the 1970 Controlled Substances Act. |

Marijuana Legalization Boosts Agriculture Jobs In States That Enact It, New Study Shows
States that enact marijuana legalization see jobs in the agriculture sector increase more than they would have without the policy change, according to a new economic analysis from researchers at Texas Tech University. The results, which were presented at the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association’s 2026 meeting last month, found a 9 percent uptick in agriculture sector employment in states that legalized cannabis—though wages did not increase proportionately due to factors that researchers determined are likely unrelated. |

Why medical cannabis for seniors is surging
Seniors are increasingly turning to cannabis to find relief from the suffering and medical indignities of aging. I see this every day in my primary care clinic. Whether it is the grinding discomfort of chronic pain, the anxiety associated with losing friends and abilities, or the soul-crushing misery of insomnia, older adults are discovering that medical marijuana can often do what many of our standard prescriptions cannot. They are finding that cannabis often provides genuine relief without a laundry list of debilitating side effects. Many of our elders are finding cannabis to be an exit ramp from the polypharmacy that almost inevitably comes with aging. |

Certain cannabis-based therapies may provide relief from spasticity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a review of data from 27 clinical trials involving more than 3,000 participants.

The two compounds are delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). |

Right Chemistry: Reefer Madness marijuana allegations go up in smoke
“You can grow enough marijuana in a window box to drive the whole population of the United States stark, staring, raving mad.†Those words appeared in the 1928 book Dope: The Story of the Living Dead by Hearst Publications journalist Winifred Black, who specialized in sensational stories. Hostility toward smoking marijuana, the dried leaves and flowers of the cannabis plant, had been brewing in the U.S. southwest since 1910, when the Mexican Revolution significantly increased migration to the U.S., giving rise to anti-immigrant sentiments. |
