Curaleaf (CURLF-1.34%) went public with an offer to buy marijuana competitor Aurora Cannabis (ACB-1.44%) in early Aug. 2026.

Sep 25, 2026	90% of Americans Want Legal Weed. Lawmakers in Both Parties Keep Punishing Them for It. Nearly 90% of Americans—including majorities of Democrats and Republicans—say that marijuana should be legal for either medical or adult use. Yet far too often, lawmakers choose to either ignore this constituency or treat them with outright hostility. In several Republican-led states, lawmakers have overturned (or are actively trying to overturn) voters’ decisions on cannabis policy, while in Democratic-led states, lawmakers are undermining existing legalization markets by drastically hiking marijuana-related taxes.

It will not only be a celebration of the conference's 10th anniversary in Berlin, but also a celebration of how much progress the international cannabis industry has made in the last decade.
Sep 25, 2026	How Employers Are Adapting to Medical Cannabis in the Workplace More states have active medical cannabis programs than at any point in the past decade. That shift has moved a once-niche compliance question into ordinary HR conversations across a wide range of industries. A worker with a valid medical cannabis card still faces real friction on the job. Drug testing policies, safety-sensitive roles, and inconsistent state protections mean a legal patient can end up defending their treatment to a supervisor who has no framework for the conversation. It’s an awkward spot for everyone involved.
Sep 25, 2026	Switzerland’s SCRIPT Trial Finds Regulated Cannabis Sales Change How People Consume, Not How Much Government-led scientific studies from across Europe’s most progressive cannabis markets are solidifying an evidence base suggesting that greater access does not cause greater harm to public health.

Alongside these country-wide frameworks, Switzerland’s eight active regional pilot projects continue to provide unique and precisely targeted results.

Sep 24, 2026	Survey Finds Most German Cannabis Patients ‘Feel Stigmatized’ More patients in Germany are using legal medical cannabis to treat their condition(s) than ever before.

MedCanOneStop (MCOS), a Düsseldorf-based medical cannabis digital infrastructure platform, surveyed 7,033 German medical cannabis patients, asking them about the effectiveness of their therapeutic use of cannabis, among other things. “70 percent of patients report massively improved sleep, and almost half are more productive and pain-free at work.” MCOS wrote in a news release (translated from German to English. “Over two-thirds of those surveyed were able to completely discontinue prescription painkillers, opiates, or sleeping pills thanks to cannabis.”
Sep 24, 2026	Chain vs. Indy: Which Dispensaries Do People Prefer? Dispensaries generally fall into one of two camps: part of a multi-state chain, or an independent operator. Those independents might own several stores within one state (a single-state operator), or they might be a classic “mom & pop” shop with a single location. Consumers have good reasons to shop at either, and sometimes it just comes down to location and convenience. However, when pressed, it seems renegade cannabis consumers prefer the indies.

Sep 23, 2026	Youth Cannabis Use Drops To Historic Low In U.S. As more and more states legalize cannabis for adult use in the United States and permit legal recreational cannabis production and sales, youth cannabis consumption rates have dropped to historic lows, according to data compiled by the federal government. “The percentage of high-schoolers nationwide who acknowledge consuming cannabis has fallen to record lows, according to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” wrote NORML in a news release received by the International Cannabis Business Conference. “According to data posted on the CDC’s YRBS (Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System) Explorer website, the percentage of high-schoolers who identify as current cannabis consumers fell approximately 60 percent over the past decade.

Sep 22, 2026	A matter of latitude: Icelandic grower develops hemp for northern conditions At 66 degrees north in Iceland's Westfjords, day length does not fall below 12 hours until the 21st of September.

Here, owner, scientist and grower Sigurður Halldór Árnasonis also developing cultivation knowledge and genetics suited to northern conditions. "The biggest challenge is the photoperiod.

Sep 21, 2026	Social Media Engagement Can Drive Real Business for Cannabis Brands and Dispensaries Cannabis companies spend a lot of time thinking about what to post. They plan product photos, educational carousels, staff videos, strain spotlights, promotional graphics, event recaps and short-form videos designed to capture attention. Then the content goes live, receives a few comments and sits there while the team moves on to the next post. That approach treats social media like a digital billboard. The bigger opportunity in social media is to treat engagement like a room full of people you can talk to. For dispensaries and cannabis brands, some of the most valuable social media activity happens after the content is published. It happens in the comments, direct messages, Story responses and conversations a company starts with other accounts.

Sep 21, 2026	Cannabis Is Legal Across Much of America. States Without Adult-Use Legalization Still Reported 186,581 Arrests in 2025 America increasingly looks like a country that has moved beyond cannabis prohibition. Walk through parts of California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon or Washington and legal cannabis can seem thoroughly ordinary. Licensed stores operate in commercial districts. Products move through regulated supply chains. States collect taxes. Businesses employ thousands of people. Cannabis brands advertise, exhibit at trade shows and compete for shelf space like participants in any other regulated consumer market. Then cross a state line. The legal assumptions can change quickly.
Sep 21, 2026	Are US Cannabis Contracts Enforceable? A $32m Court Ruling Just Said No A Michigan breach-of-contract dispute between cultivator Hello Farms and Curaleaf Holdings has cracked open a fault line that runs beneath every cannabis contract in the US, opening the door to a ‘mutually assured destruction’ defence that cannot be closed. On September 10, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit overturned a $31.8m verdict against Curaleaf, ruling that its subsidiaries’ supply contract with the cultivator was unenforceable because cannabis remains illegal under federal law. The ruling has set a ‘dangerous precedent’ for the wider industry, founding partner of S Burns Legal PLLC Susan Burns told Business of Cannabis.

Sep 19, 2026	THE RECORD Turns Cannabis Justice Data Into a New Kind of New York Street Campaign New York’s legal cannabis market is built around storefronts, licensed products, compliance systems, brands, tax revenue, and an increasingly normalized relationship with a plant that spent generations on the other side of American criminal law. THE RECORD begins with the part of that transition that is easier to overlook. The arrests. The sentences. The criminal records. The families and communities that lived through prohibition long before legal cannabis became an industry. Created as a collaboration between New York cannabis brand Silly Nice and independent culture publication stupidDOPE, THE RECORD is an evolving editorial and public-information initiative built around a deceptively simple idea:
Sep 19, 2026	German Cannabis Association Debunks Opponent’s Propaganda For many decades, cannabis opponents have made numerous anti-cannabis claims that are based on half-truths, spin-doctoring, and in some cases, outright lies. Such claims have worked because, unfortunately, most members of society do not research the claims to determine whether they are factual. Thankfully, there are cannabis advocates who put in the necessary effort to fact-check claims made by cannabis opponents, with a recent example occurring in Germany, where the DHV – Deutscher Hanfverband eV fact-checked a claim made by Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt.
