Oct 26, 2026 South African grower starts cultivation as the regulatory framework evolves
In South Africa, licensed cannabis producers and the regulatory framework they answer to are still growing up together.

For a couple in Cape Town, that meant three years with the same facility on their minds, from the first plans to a license that arrived in August 2026, after a process that started in December 2024 and took a little more than a year and a half to complete. "One of the main challenges was the lack of clear guidance on certain processes and expected turnaround times. This made planning more difficult, but we kept working through the requirements, and our focus was to bring the right expertise into the business as we were adapting," says Kim Praizovic, who co-founded CannaGrit with her husband.



Oct 26, 2026 Can Tourists Legally Buy Marijuana? Cannabis Laws Across All 50 States
Travelers planning trips across the United States have a new resource to help navigate marijuana laws, with a recently released guide outlining where visitors can legally purchase cannabis and what restrictions apply in each state.

Alexis 420, a directory of licensed cannabis dispensaries, has published a 50-state cannabis travel guide covering purchasing requirements, identification rules, taxes, and restrictions impacting out-of-state visitors.

Oct 26, 2026 From Endometriosis to Back Pain: The Medical Cannabis Trials to Watch in 2026
Could CBD help the one in ten women living with the excruciating pain caused by endometriosis? Could it ease the nerve symptoms that persist after chemotherapy? And how does a cannabis-based medicine compare with opioid painkillers?

These questions are driving clinical research across the UK and Europe, with some programmes recruiting patients and others already producing results.

In Scotland, two studies are investigating the same CBD formulation for different conditions.

Oct 26, 2026 Aurora Cannabis Announces the Alberta Securities Commission has dismissed Curaleaf's Application and ruled in favour of the Company's At-the-Market Program
EDMONTON, AB, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aurora Cannabis Inc. ("Aurora" or the "Company") (ACB) (ACB), the Canadian-based leading global medical cannabis company, today shared that the application made by Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. ("Curaleaf") (CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) to halt Aurora's at-the-market ("ATM") program was dismissed by the Alberta Securities Commission.

This positive result supports Aurora's view that Curaleaf's actions were simply to distract shareholders from the fundamental issue before them: Curaleaf's hostile bid significantly undervalues Aurora and seeks to acquire Aurora's cash, unique EU-GMP assets, global growth platform and future upside at a discount.

Oct 26, 2026 Legal Medical Cannabis Means Better, Not Weaker, Health Protection
Germany has, without question, the most progressive regulation of medical cannabis in the EU. Yet, the current federal government’s Ministry of Health, led by the CDU, wants to significantly restrict telemedical access to medical cannabis and specifically flowers, citing abuse. On closer inspection, there is still no supporting data or evidence for this.



Oct 26, 2026 ‘They buy because it’s easy’: Legal shops want more than enforcement to fight illegal pot
Though the Ford government says it’s planning to introduce new measures to crack down on illicit cannabis sales, legal retailers are questioning why it took eight years following legalization for enforcement tools to be bolstered.

Several legal sellers told Global News they want Ontario to take the new rules a step further, by allowing the legal market to innovate and modernize cannabis sales by lifting some restrictions on how and where pot can be sold.

Oct 25, 2026 Polish Study Finds CBD To Be Beneficial For Post-Exercise Recovery
Sports and athletics have been the focus of anti-cannabis propaganda for decades. Professional athletes are prominent in societies worldwide, so it’s no coincidence that anti-cannabis campaigns have incorporated professional leagues and athletes. Those anti-cannabis campaigns were based on the false premise that cannabis use is always bad, including cannabis use by professional and amateur athletes.

Thankfully, many professional sports leagues have now abandoned testing for cannabis. Furthermore, cannabis research is establishing that cannabis can be beneficial for athletes. A recent example is a study led by researchers in Poland who examined the efficacy of cannabidiol (CBD) for post-exercise recovery. The study’s findings were published in the International Medical Journal and initially reported by Marijuana Moment.

Oct 25, 2026 Your body makes its own cannabis-like chemicals as you run, and neuroscience research finds they keep rising all the way to the marathon finish line, a possible clue to the runner’s high
A long run appears to keep the body’s own cannabis-like chemical messengers active for hours. New research published in BMC Medicine indicates that one of these compounds, anandamide, climbs steadily during a marathon and stays elevated 45 minutes after the finish, and that levels are also higher after ultramarathons of up to 230 kilometers. These chemical changes occurred alongside shifts in mood, such as reduced anxiety after running, although the study did not test whether one caused the other.

The rapid rise of THC-infused beverages has put US alcohol producers at odds with wholesalers and drinks retailers, as a growing number of consumers turn their backs on booze for a mellower high.

Struggling brewers and distillers, mindful of the threat of an emerging competitor, have been calling for tough regulation of drinks containing THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. However, drinks distributors and retailers are pushing for forthcoming restrictions on the beverages to be overturned for fear of losing sales.


Oct 24, 2026 DEA Judge Denies Marijuana Rescheduling Opponents’ Request To Reopen Hearing For More Testimony, But Allows New Briefs

Oct 23, 2026 Canada Cannabis Sales Reach New High in August 2026
Canada’s cannabis sales reached a new high in August 2026, totalling $520.4 million.

Dried flower sales have also slightly rebounded in terms of units sold, while cannabis edibles increased and extracts declined.

The new preliminary figures show national cannabis sales up about 3% year-over-year from $503.1 million in August 2025. Statistics Canada routinely updates its sales figures over time as new data comes in. As a result, July 2026 sales figures have been adjusted from $503.2 million to $515.8 million, a 3% increase.

Oct 23, 2026 How Low Can It Go: What You Need to Know About Cannabis Price Compression
What Is Cannabis Price Compression?
It's when retail prices plummet. This has happened in most legal states so far. Competitors who sell pretty much the same products due to lack of interstate commerce under federal law begin to drop prices to gain an edge and others eventually follow. It's also a response to illegal sales of cannabis products, which are usually cheaper than legal ones.

For instance, in Massachessetts, which borders New York, the average price of flower is $14 per eight and $80-$150 per ounce. In New York, similar products go for $33 per eighth and $170-$320 per ounce. In Califonia, ounces sell for as low as $60. These are all big drops from when the legal markets opened. New York retailers are hoping prices will stay relatively high, unlike in most of the legal states

Oct 22, 2026 Hemp: The Council of the EU Takes a Stand on New Production and Marketing Rules
The Council of the European Union has agreed on a negotiating position that could redefine the legal framework for industrial hemp at the European level.

Oct 22, 2026 Poll: 78% of Cannabis Consumers Base Their Votes on Candidates’ Cannabis Policy
Nearly 80% of cannabis consumers say that a candidate’s view on cannabis policy will determine whether they will vote for them during November’s midterm elections, according to a poll released Tuesday by NuggMD at the request of NORML.

Forty-one percent of respondents said a candidate’s views on cannabis would “significantly” influence their decision to vote for them in November, while 37% said a candidate’s views on cannabis would “somewhat” influence their decision. Twenty-two percent of those polled said that a candidate’s views on cannabis would not influence their decision at all.

Oct 22, 2026 Puff, puff, don’t pass? Study says frequent weed users share less
Cannabis has long been a communal experience, with ‘puff, puff, pass’ serving as an unofficial mantra. But a recent study suggests some consumers may be more inclined to bogart their bud.

The research, published in the journal Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology, found that college students who use cannabis frequently were less likely to share a hypothetical stash and more prone to solitary consumption.

Oct 22, 2026 Marijuana use rises sharply among one group of Americans, new study finds
A growing number of American parents are using cannabis, prompting questions about potential child exposure and safety, according to a new study.

Cannabis use increased substantially among parents between 2012 and 2024, with researchers estimating that at least 5.9 million U.S. children were living with a parent who used marijuana on most days in 2024.

Oct 21, 2026 Cannabis for Chronic Pain: The Question Isn’t Just Whether It Works, but for Whom
A two-year study of 3,744 patients with chronic pain found significant improvements in pain, sleep quality, anxiety and overall quality of life among those using medical cannabis. More than half of the patients with pain assessments recorded at 24 months achieved a clinically meaningful reduction in pain, although the study’s observational design means the findings show an association rather than proving causation.

Oct 21, 2026 Lots of People Turn to Marijuana to Quit Cigarette Smoking, VA Study Finds
A new study has found that cannabis is nearly as common as prescription medication among people seeking help to stop smoking cigarettes.

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, New York University, the San Francisco VA Health Care System, and the University of California examined survey responses from 2,804 adults who either used nicotine e-cigarettes, smoked cigarettes, or did both.

Oct 21, 2026 Patients waiting indefinitely for medicine two years after Nebraskans approved medical cannabis

Oct 21, 2026 This Cannabis Stock Jumped 12% in a Day: The Math Says Be Careful
Record revenue can make a struggling stock look ready for a comeback. The important question is what remains after the business pays its costs and funds the investment needed to keep operating.

Tilray Brands (TSX: TLRY) reported record first-quarter revenue on October 8. The business expanded beyond cannabis into beverages and distribution. That makes the headline growth interesting, but the cash figures give investors a much more cautious conclusion.

Oct 21, 2026 A brewing inflation tale: Beer prices soar in Ontario, while the cost of cannabis stays low
As the cost of cracking open a beer climbs in Ontario, cannabis users have seen smaller price increases over the past year.

The price of beer in Ontario rose 10.2 per cent in August 2026 compared to the same month in 2025, according to a Capital Current’s analysis of Statistics Canada’s Consumer Price Index. Recreational cannabis prices, however, only increased 1.6 per cent in the same period, Capital Current found. The small increase in cannabis prices follows yearly declines.

When these trends are compared to nation-wide data, the numbers tell a similar story, with beer purchased from stores increasing by 4.7 per cent and recreational cannabis prices decreasing one per cent.

Oct 21, 2026 Germany’s Hemp Intoxication Clause Creates Unnecessary Risk For Farmers
Germany is on a short list of countries that have adopted a national adult-use cannabis legalization measure. Starting on April 1st, 2024, adults in Germany can cultivate, possess, and consume personal amounts of cannabis. Those adult consumers’ recreational cannabis does not have a THC content limit.

With that in mind, it is illogical for Germany’s government to continue to cling to its arbitrary low-THC limit for industrial hemp. Germany has permitted industrial hemp cultivation since 1996. The THC threshold for industrial hemp in Germany is 0.3%.

Oct 21, 2026 Study suggests price is the deciding factor in where cannabis users shop
Legal marijuana is now a multibillion-dollar business across the U.S., but the illicit market remains a major competitor to dispensaries in many places.

Oct 21, 2026 Spain’s Medical Cannabis Framework Finally Reaches Patients, But Rollout is ‘Not the Finish Line’
Spain’s medical cannabis framework will finally start reaching patients over the coming days and weeks, marking a significant milestone in a four-year battle for access.

In June 2022, we reported that ‘the regulation and distribution of medical cannabis’ could be rolled out in Spain ‘by the end of the year’, following a knife-edge vote to push through proposals for a framework.

Now, more than four years later, and over a year since the Royal Decree 903/2025 came into force, the first (and only) two preparations will be delivered to around 50 public and private hospitals this week, with a broader national rollout expected by the end of October 2026.



Oct 21, 2026 Canadian Cannabis Suppliers Adapt to Tariffs and Economic Uncertainty

Oct 20, 2026 Magistrate warns cannabis still illegal
Magistrate Jared Richards warned that cannabis remains illegal in Barbados as he placed 25-year-old Kemar Aykeem Bruce on a three-month bond to keep the peace for drug offences.

Placing him on the bond for the offence of intending to supply, Magistrate Richards said: “You must understand that marijuana is still illegal, but the law reflects that if you have 14 grammes or less, you will get a ticket and pay a fine rather than be brought to court. So put it in your mind that it is still illegal even though I find some persons are believing now that it isn’t, but it is and that is how you ended up here.”

Oct 20, 2026 Recent Studies Debunk Anti-Cannabis Industry Talking Points
A trio of recent studies provides evidence that directly contradicts major talking points that are often used by special interests opposed to the legal cannabis industry. The first pertains to crime, the second to youth cannabis consumption, and the third to motor vehicle safety.

Cannabis industry opponents frequently make the claim that if legal cannabis sales are permitted, a spike in crime will occur in the area surrounding where legal sales are allowed. A researcher at Brock University examined crime data in Toronto and Ottawa, where adult-use cannabis sales are legal. His findings were published in The International Journal of Drug Policy.



Oct 20, 2026 Trump losing ground with cannabis consumers ahead of midterms

The survey from NuggMD and Marijuana Moment revealed that 29 percent of cannabis consumers either approve or strongly approve of the administration’s actions on the plant. That’s a major drop from the July quarterly poll, when support was 48 percent.

Oct 20, 2026 Opening Legal Marijuana Dispensaries Provides An Economic Boost For Nearby Businesses, Study Shows
The opening of recreational marijuana dispensaries can help boost nearby businesses by increasing foot traffic, purchases and revenue, according to a new study.

Researchers from the City University of New York, Northern Illinois University and University of Miami examined cannabis market growth, credit and debit card purchases and socioeconomic and demographic data in Illinois from 2021 through 2024, finding that “recreational dispensary openings increase the number of customers at nearby establishments by approximately 6.82%, transactions by 8.01%, and revenue by 7.47%.”

Oct 19, 2026 Legal Retailers Welcome Ontario’s Plan to Target Illegal Cannabis Shops
The Ontario government says it plans to strengthen enforcement against illegal cannabis sales in the province.

The proposed changes will be part of an upcoming legislative package.

Oct 19, 2026 NORML Files Amicus Brief in Case Over Enforceability of Cannabis-Related Contracts
Members of the NORML Legal Committee – led by attorney William Swor of Detroit, Michigan – have filed a friend-of-the-court (amicus) brief urging the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to reconsider its decision that cannabis industry contracts are not enforceable as long as marijuana is federally prohibited.

Specifically, the Appeals Court ruled in September that federal courts cannot award breach-of-contract damages in situations that enforce an agreement specific to conduct that is prohibited by the US Controlled Substances Act.



Oct 19, 2026 European Cannabis at the Crossroads: Regulation Across Borders
The 2026 report from the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) highlights that cannabis policies in Europe are evolving at varying rates and in different directions. Germany, Malta and Spain have established different frameworks for adult-use cannabis; Luxembourg and Czechia have introduced limited home cultivation, while the Netherlands is testing regulated cannabis supply. At the same time, other countries maintain much more restrictive approaches.

Oct 19, 2026 Here’s the Hands-Down Best Cannabis Stock for Dividend Investors
Many income investors wouldn't go near a pot stock with a 10-foot pole -- and for good reason. For one thing, most cannabis stocks don't pay dividends. The ones that do operate in a highly volatile industry.

However, it's important to remember the adage "don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Sure, most cannabis stocks aren't good picks if you're seeking reliable income. There's one, though, that I think is hands-down the best cannabis stock for dividend investors. If you want cannabis exposure without cannabis-company risk, along with an exceptionally juicy yield, check out Innovative Industrial Properties 9.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (NYSE: IIPR-PA).



Oct 19, 2026 Curaleaf Continues Fight After Raising Takeover Bid for Aurora Cannabis
Curaleaf today responded to Aurora Cannabis recommending that its shareholders reject Curaleaf's increased takeover proposal, extending the companies' public battle over a potential deal.

"Aurora's Board has a fiduciary duty to shareholders, which requires it not to take illogical steps to keep the highest bidder out of the room. The board has locked out Curaleaf while granting diligence access to unnamed parties and cites selective sources to support its agenda. None of that reflects a board acting in the company's or shareholders' best interests. Shareholders deserve the facts, and the facts favor engagement, not obstruction," said Curaleaf CEO Boris Jordan in a statement.

Oct 19, 2026 Devils on the loose: The deadly cost of Kanehsatà:ke’s cannabis boom
The cannabis industry is booming here and it has transformed the community into a volatile battleground. What started with a single unlicensed shop in 2018 has exploded into roughly 30 dispensaries, including megastores and casinos lining the main thoroughfare. Some play loud music all day, light up the night sky with neon and attract massive crowds. Even rapper Snoop Dogg performed here two years ago.



Oct 19, 2026 Cannabis is getting stronger, but doubling THC dose doesn’t get you twice as ‘high’ – new study
Cannabis products are getting more potent and easier to buy around the world. Yet little is known about how bigger doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active ingredient in cannabis, change what people feel. Our new research found that larger doses generally make people feel more high, but not in a straight line. Doubling the dose does not double the feeling of intoxication.

Oct 19, 2026 Bolsonaro vs. Lula: Brazil’s Runoff Could Decide Who Profits From Cannabis in a Country of 200 Million
Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, edged Lula in the first round and has named a cannabis executive as his pick for health minister.

Oct 19, 2026 Uganda’s new hemp and medical cannabis cooperative aims to organize farmers, investors
A newly established cooperative in Uganda is seeking to organize farmers and attract investment in industrial hemp and medical cannabis.

The Uganda Medical Cannabis and Industrial Hemp Cooperative Society (UMCHICS) is intended to connect licensed producers, investors and government institutions while establishing standards for product quality, traceability and regulatory compliance.

At a meeting in Kampala in early October, government officials acknowledged the economic potential of the two crops while warning that licensed operators face penalties for diverting cannabis into illegal markets.

Oct 19, 2026 What Canada’s Cannabis Shelves Teach About Grading
Every maturing market ends up with a cheap tier and a premium tier. The hard part is proving the premium tier deserves its price. Canada’s legal cannabis market offers an unusual case, because its top grades have no official standard behind them.

In Canada, legal since 2018, adults can buy top shelf bud from curated craft ranges that sellers rank above everyday stock. This is information, not an invitation to buy, and the legal age is 19 in most provinces, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec. These sellers ship within Canada only, so readers in Nigeria and across Africa cannot order. Cannabis also remains illegal in Nigeria, and rules differ from country to country. Treat this as a business case for adult readers, not health guidance.



Oct 19, 2026 Cannabis formulation reduces morphine use by nearly half in clinical trial
A cannabis-based medicine significantly reduced morphine use among hospital patients with severe nerve-related pain, according to the results of a new clinical trial.

The study, published in the Journal of Cannabis Research, found that patients given a higher dose of cannabis used 47.6% less morphine over 24 hours than those given a placebo. Despite receiving considerably less morphine, patients in the cannabinoid group did not report significantly higher pain levels, suggesting that cannabis-based medicines could potentially reduce the amount of opioid medication required to manage acute pain.

Oct 19, 2026 Do THC And CBD Degrade Over Time At Room Temperature?
“To maximize cannabinoid shelf-life and prevent degradation, storage temperatures must match product composition. While CBD-dominant products can tolerate room-temperature storage, THC-rich products require cold chain management, ideally stored in a freezer at -20°C for optimal long-term potency.” the researchers concluded.
