Cannabis Laws Are Changing: 8 Questions Employers Should Ask Now
Employers are feeling the impact of relaxed laws and attitudes toward cannabis use, especially as positive drug test rates continue to climb. After years of state-level legalization efforts, the federal government recently rescheduled certain medical cannabis products and is considering broader cannabis rescheduling, which could lead to more disability-related and other workplace claims. As a result, many employers are rethinking cannabis testing while still grappling with how to manage risks, especially in safety-sensitive positions. Here’s everything employers need to know about the current state of cannabis laws and eight questions to consider as you balance staffing needs with workplace safety and legal compliance. |

The Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club (VCBC) has been granted a six-month injunction against eviction from its current location.

Botswana Cannabis Act six months on: Licensing opacity and legal threats stall industry Six months after Botswana promulgated the Cannabis Act and Regulations 2025 on 12 January 2026, the country's emerging cannabis industry remains stalled by allegations of bureaucratic delays, an opaque licensing system, and accusations of political favouritism, with at least two entities now pursuing or considering legal action against the government. The Act establishes the National Cannabis Control Authority (NCCA), tasked with overseeing licensing and coordinating legislative protocols. Stakeholders say the NCCA is not moving fast enough to establish a viable industry, and that earlier government promises of broad-based, inclusive participation have not materialised in the regulations as published. |

Florida Hemp Businesses Hope Trump Can Save Them From Planned Federal Ban On THC Products “The category’s too big to fail. The consumer demand is there. The infrastructure is in place. I don’t think that it’s going anywhere. It’s a matter of when and how we get regulated.” By Mitch Perry, Florida Phoenix On Saturday, St. Petersburg retailer Herban Flow hosted its third High and Dry Festival, which featured dozens of brands showcasing THC-infused drinks, plus adaptogens, nootropics and alcohol-free libations. Herban Flow owner Michael Smith says that about 80 percent of sales from his two stores come from hemp-derived THC products, which is why he’s anxious about an impending federal ban on virtually all intoxicating and non-intoxicating hemp and CBD products, effective November 12. “It’s amazing how many people still don’t know about it,” Smith said. “So many people are now just discovering it and they don’t believe me when I tell them in three months that all of this is going away.” That possibility began to emerge last November, when Congress passed a spending bill which included a change to the federal definition of legal hemp to a “total THC standard” rather than Delta-9 THC only. Final-form hemp-derived products would be capped at 0.4 mg total THC per container. Translated, that would render approximately 95 percent of existing hemp-derived products federally illegal, according to the U.S. Hemp Roundtable. |

UAMS researchers shed light on medical cannabis use during pregnancy in Arkansas
When it comes to medical cannabis use by pregnant Arkansans, healthcare providers often face a difficult reality: There is still much they do not know. A team of University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) researchers is now working to fill that knowledge gap by providing the first population-level look at how pregnant women in Arkansas purchase medical cannabis and how those purchasing patterns change throughout pregnancy. The study, “From Card to Cradle: Examining Medical Cannabis Purchasing Among Pregnant Women in Arkansas,” was recently published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology MFM and represents a key step toward understanding the potential effects of cannabis exposure on mothers and babies. |

Where Is Cannabis Legal? A Guide To All 50 States
In July, Georgia became the 41st state to legalize medical marijuana. For years, Georgia had a low-THC program but the passage of Senate Bill 220 on July 1 expanded the program by allowing medical marijuana, which includes many THC products that are available in other states. For a state with 11 million people, Georgia expanding to medical marijuana is a big deal. “It’s a new day in Georgia for medical cannabis,” Kim Rivers, CEO and cofounder of Florida-based cannabis company Trulieve, wrote on X. Trulieve, which has six dispensaries in the state, celebrated the first sale under the expanded program on July 1. |

California cannabis industry blazes path with exhibit at state fair
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CN) — It used to be a hike to get to the California State Fair’s cannabis consumption lounge. Visitors would buy products in one area, then start a long, cardboard cutout-lined path to where they could imbibe. Fences separated them from the noncannabis portion of the fair. In fact, the entire cannabis exhibit, retail area and consumption lounge sat a world apart from the rest of Cal Expo, the home of the state fair each year in Sacramento. That was by design — a careful path to ensure people didn’t have to see, hear or smell the area unless they wanted to. That hike lasted only one year. This summer, visitors will be able to consume cannabis near the purchase point. |

The second largest cannabis product category after dried cannabis flower was cannabis extracts at 28%, which includes the fast-growing vape pen category. This was up from 25% in the previous quarter and 24% year over year. |

Judge: California cannabis law can be tweaked without voter approval
California lawmakers can likely adjust the state’s 2016 adult-use marijuana legalization law without having to go back to voters to approve every change, a state judge tentatively ruled Thursday.

Gavin Newsom, according to Courthouse News. |

International Cannabis Deals: Why Due Diligence Matters More Than Ever
As more Canadian cannabis companies pursue international opportunities, experienced exporters say one of the biggest mistakes businesses can make is assuming that a promising lead is automatically a legitimate one. While new medical cannabis markets continue to emerge around the world, international business relationships also introduce new legal, financial, and operational risks. Verifying who you’re doing business with and whether they can actually deliver on their promises has become an essential part of any export strategy. “The first step any exporter should take is to verify that the organization is who it claims to be. This goes beyond reviewing a professional-looking website or marketing materials, and requires independent validation through multiple sources,” said a spokesperson for Export Development Canada (EDC). |

Gitanmaax Band to Sign Eighth Section 119 Cannabis Agreement with BC
The BC Government and the Gitanmaax Band are finalizing a government-to-government cannabis agreement that supports shared health and safety priorities. The agreement, under Section 119 of BC’s Cannabis Control and Licensing Act, builds on the Gitanmaax Band’s leadership in the regulated cannabis sector, including the operation of a provincially licensed cannabis retail store in the community. Section 119 of the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act authorizes the province to enter into agreements with Indigenous governments. BC’s Cannabis Control and Licensing Act restricts businesses from operating in both the cannabis production and retail sectors, but section 119 of the Act allows this. |

Combining Marijuana And Music Enhances Medical Benefits, Reduces Prescription Drug Use And Boosts Emotions, Government-Funded Study Shows A new government-funded study is putting quantifiable evidence behind the idea that marijuana use enhances the experience of listening to music. But the new research also suggests that the combination can bolster the therapeutic benefits of cannabis. The study, published in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research and conducted by researchers at Dalhousie University and other schools in Canada, examined self-reported data from 122 marijuana consumers who completed an exhaustive, 176-question survey. |

Most cannabis flower on the European market would fail a human-consumption standard, Fundación CANNA finds Cannabis extracts and isolates carry pesticides and heavy metals more often than the raw flower they are made from, which means the purification step the industry treats as a route to a cleaner product is concentrating the contamination it is supposed to strip out. These are findings by Fundacion CANNA, a non-profit initiative that studies the cannabis plant and its active ingredients. |

Banking Reform is Unlikely to Fix Marijuana Industry Payment Processing Challenges
For finance teams in the cannabis industry, managing payments often means navigating a complicated and uncertain system. Invoices are issued to retail customers, payment deadlines stretch out, and staff members juggle concerns over large electronic transfers, checks, cash deposits, and wire payments that have not fully cleared. At the same time, businesses must continue buying inventory, paying taxes, and maintaining banking relationships that can seem fragile. This challenge lies at the heart of wholesale cannabis payments. |

The Psychiatric Impact of Cannabis Policy: More Than a Legal Framework
Key Takeaways Cross-jurisdiction moves can shift patients from labeled, quality-controlled cannabis to informal supplies with unknown THC content and contaminants, amplifying anxiety and paranoia via uncertainty and perceived threat. Regulated legalization improves potency disclosure and quality control, but commercialization enables very high-THC concentrates (70%-90%) associated with panic reactions and psychosis-related presentations in vulnerable youth. |

Senate Democrats File Bill To Fully Legalize Marijuana Under Federal Law As Trump Moves To Merely Reclassify It Senate Democrats have filed a bill to federally legalize marijuana, a far-reaching proposal that comes as the Trump administration is moving ahead with a more incremental reform to reschedule cannabis. The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA), which is being led by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Ron Wyden, along with other Democratic senators, would completely remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), a process known as “descheduling.” |

Inside Canada’s Legal Cannabis Culture
Few countries have normalised cannabis as quickly as Canada. What was once strictly prohibited is now a regulated part of everyday adult life, sold near the coffee and the corner shop. For curious readers abroad, it offers a fascinating case study in how a society adapts to a major legal change. This is a cultural look, not an endorsement, and cannabis laws differ sharply around the world. In Canada, licensed adults-only retailers such as The Herb Centre operate under strict federal rules. This guide explains how legalisation unfolded, what it looks like day to day, and what a visitor should keep in mind. |

The first authorized cannabis crop in the Canary Islands drives a high-tech agroindustrial model The first authorized medicinal cannabis crop in the Canary Islands marks the beginning of a new agro-industrial activity in the archipelago. The company Nivaria Tech obtained authorization from the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS) to develop a project that integrates production, processing, and quality control within a single facility. According to the company, the Canary Islands' climate offers advantages for this crop thanks to high solar radiation, thermal stability, and a favorable photoperiod, making it possible to produce using natural light rather than artificial lighting. The company expects to carry out up to six harvests per year and to renew growing areas approximately every 60 days |

Ottawa’s high taxes are stunting the growth of legal cannabis Almost eight years after Canada legalized cannabis, the black market remains strong. One major reason: a tax structure that makes it harder for the legal industry to compete. A long overdue reform of that tax structure could move Canada closer to achieving the aims of legalization. The legal regime, laid out in 2018’s Cannabis Act, was designed to keep cannabis out of the hands of youth, prevent money from flowing to criminals and protect public safety through the creation of a regulated market. |

Rethinking the Most Overlooked Component of the Pre-Roll
The pre-roll category has evolved rapidly over the past few years. Cultivators are producing higher-quality flower, extractors are developing increasingly sophisticated infusions, and manufacturers continue to invest in automation, packaging, moisture control, and retail presentation. Yet one component of the pre-roll experience has remained largely unchanged: the filter. |

A proposed ballot initiative seeking to legalize medical cannabis in Idaho failed to meet the legal signature-gathering requirements set out in state law and will not appear on Idaho’s general election ballot in November, the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office announced Tuesday. A group called the Natural Medicine Alliance of Idaho had hoped to legalize medical cannabis as a treatment option for Idahoans with chronic pain or a debilitating medical condition, such as cancer, AIDS, post-traumatic stress, epilepsy or Crohn’s disease. |

From Sacred to Illegal: Inside India’s Cannabis Debate
In the cedar forest mountains outside Manali, a tourist town in the Kullu Valley of the Indian Himalayas, Ajay* plies his trade. “Me and my family do everything together,” he said, showing a photo on his phone of hundreds of cannabis plants in a forest clearing. “Our hash field sits on top of the mountain. It’s grown in the wild. Sometimes the police come and cut it down, and that’s it. They don’t say anything else. They can’t prove it’s me, because we grow it at the top of the mountain – very high up, three hours walk minimum. No man’s land,” he explained. |

The Cannabis Council’s Demise Is a Wake-Up Call for Canada’s Cannabis Industry
The recent dissolution of the Cannabis Council of Canada (C3) is more than the closure of an industry association. It is a warning. At a time when Canada’s legal cannabis industry faces significant policy challenges, it has lost its primary national voice in Ottawa. That should concern not only licensed producers and retailers but also policymakers. Seven years after legalization, Canada’s cannabis industry contributes an estimated $16 billion annually to the country’s GDP and supports more than 227,000 jobs. It has displaced a significant portion of the illicit market, generated billions in tax revenue, and positioned Canada as a global leader in regulated cannabis. |

The more we learn about cannabis, the less the conversation should be about the leaf How many biological systems are there in the human body? It is probably not a question you have ever asked yourself. It certainly was not one I expected to ask. After years of navigating today’s healthcare system — with surgeries, prescriptions, specialists and conflicting medical advice — I stumbled across something I had never heard of: the endocannabinoid system. |

Cannabis-derived treatment eases agitation in hospice-eligible dementia patients, trial finds In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, U.S. researchers found that people with agitation and dementia in late life who took a special medical formulation of two active ingredients found in marijuana—THC and CBD—had significantly less agitation than people who received a placebo. The primary findings of the multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study were presented July 14, 2026, at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in London by Jacobo Mintzer, MD, of the Medical University of South Carolina, and Georgetown University's Brigid Reynolds, MSN, APRN, ANP-BC. |
