In Texas, One Delta-8 THC Gummy Can Carry More Prison Time Than an Ounce of Weed A single four-gram delta-8 gummy can now expose its owner to a felony bracket that runs to twenty years, because Texas weighs the whole product and a gummy is mostly sugar. An ounce of marijuana is still a misdemeanor. The Legislature never voted for any of it, and the delta-9 gummies that survived the crackdown are legal on a technicality federal law erases in November. <p>The post In Texas, One Delta-8 THC Gummy Can Carry…

Beware of the Chads Berner calls them the Chads: the ones who arrive with contracts and agendas and no feel for the plant. A new wave of institutional money is about to be free to deploy into cannabis, and the last one took MedMen, Flow Kana, Canopy and High Times itself from the people who built them. Rolando García on what the term sheets did, and what the founders who kept control did differently. <p>The post Beware of the Chads first appeared on High Times.</p>

Hawaii Banned Smokable Hemp in 2020. Stores Sold It Openly for Five Years. Then the Crackdown Began. Hawaii's Act 14 prohibited smokable hemp in 2020. For five years stores sold flower, pre-rolls and vapes openly, hired staff and built a customer base on top of it. Then the 2025 registration law gave the state inspection and seizure powers, enforcement began, and one Oahu retailer says he lost 90% of his revenue in weeks. Both things are true at once, and only one of them shows up in the statute. <p>The post…

Ren and Chris Webby Got High in the Woods and Made the Best Album I’ve Heard All Year I found Ren by accident in a Chicago hotel room and I've been interviewing Chris Webby since 2018. They met through a comment section, holed up in a house in the Connecticut woods and came out with fifteen songs that didn't exist when they walked in. It's the best album I've heard all year, and the documentary explains why: you can hear the friendship. <p>The post Ren and Chris Webby Got High in…

Can Weed Feel Like Magic Mushrooms? Johns Hopkins Researchers Put THC to the Test A four-person Johns Hopkins pilot study found that 25 mg of oral THC could produce altered-state profiles that qualitatively resembled those seen with 25 mg of psilocybin, particularly when consumed in a setting modeled on psychedelic research. The sample is far too small to establish cannabis as a psychedelic, but the findings add to earlier research suggesting that dose, context, and individual response can push THC experiences into unexpectedly psychedelic-like territory. <p>The post Can Weed Feel Like…

Trump Just Delayed the Hemp Ban. The New Deadline Is the Day Government Funding Runs Out. Trump signed H.R. 6500 on Wednesday, giving the hemp industry twenty-nine extra days. December 11 is also the day the stopgap funding bill expires, so if Congress needs another hemp fix it will be negotiating inside the next appropriations fight. And one deadline didn't move: products containing cannabinoids the cannabis plant can't naturally produce still lose federal hemp status on November 12, with the FDA list that would identify them still unpublished nearly seven months…

Massachusetts Is Voting on Whether to Shut Down a $10B Legal Weed Market. Here’s What You Need to Know No American state has ever voted to repeal an existing adult-use marijuana legalization law. Massachusetts gets the chance in nine weeks. Question 8 would repeal two chapters of law, end licensed sales on January 1, 2028 and eliminate home growing. One donor paid for the entire campaign that put it on the ballot, and the side defending legalization spent most of the past year in court instead of on television. <p>The post…
