Cannabis DUI Policy Continues To Evolve In Australia
Consumers and patients being falsely accused of driving under the influence (DUI) of cannabis is an important, but often overlooked, area of public policy. It is also an important consideration when it comes to the emerging legal cannabis industry. The industry’s consumer base is directly impacted by cannabis DUI policy and enforcement. Wherever there are discussions about cannabis commerce legalization and expansion, it is seemingly always coupled with discussions about DUI policy and enforcement. |

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. This conventional photoperiod hemp plant starting to flower just as the first frosts arrive. High Latitude Hemp, a small family-owned company based in Bolungarvík, grows CBD-rich hemp in the far north-west of the country. Here, owner, scientist and grower Sigurður Halldór Árnasonis also developing cultivation knowledge and genetics suited to northern conditions. "The biggest challenge is the photoperiod. In Iceland you have 24 hours of daylight all summer, and it doesn't go below 12/12 until the 21st of September," says Sigurður. "Around September and October you get frost, so if you´re just starting to flower at this time, then you're in bad shape." |

New Report Details Evolving Trends and Shift Toward Value in Canadian Cannabis Retail
Cannabis retail chain Canna Cabana ranks first among Canadian cannabis retailers in brand awareness and several consumer shopping metrics, according to a new report.

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. |

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. |

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. |

Without Ottawa’s support, cannabis companies warn Canada could lose its lead on global exports
The cannabis industry is urging the Carney government to use surging marijuana exports as a means of diversifying Canadian trade with non-U.S. markets, warning Canada could soon lose its competitive advantage to rivals. Cannabis sales to foreign markets are already on track to surpass $1-billion this year, according to Statistics Canada, and the industry expects that to double in 2027. Not only is that happening without government support, but industry insiders have come to believe Ottawa is intentionally avoiding their calls for help. |

Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) recently published an annual report detailing, among other things, data pertaining to cannabis-related offenses in the European country from the 2025 calendar year. The data demonstrates that cannabis-related offenses are decreasing. “According to the report, drug offenses excluding cannabis fell by 4.6 percent in 2025 compared to the previous year, to 122,082.

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: |

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. |

Cannabis Terpenes Explained: Complete Guide to Myrcene, Limonene, Pinene, Caryophyllene, Linalool and More
Terpenes are among the most important, and most misunderstood, compounds in marijuana. They are responsible for much of the citrus, pine, floral, spicy, earthy and fruity aroma associated with different marijuana varieties. But terpenes are more than scent molecules. Many have biological activity of their own, and researchers are increasingly examining whether particular terpenes can influence the effects of THC, CBD and other cannabinoids. |

However, the illicit market is far from disappearing. |

Legalizing Marijuana In Iowa Is A ‘No-Brainer’ Move To Help Raise Revenue, Democratic Candidate For Governor Says Legalizing marijuana is a “no-brainer” move to help ward off a “fiscal time bomb” in Iowa that could otherwise lead to cuts in funding for education and public safety in the state, the Democratic candidate for governor says. “I think we should treat it the way we treat alcohol. That seems like a no-brainer to me, right?” Rob Sand, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, said at a town hall event in Dallas County on Wednesday in response to a question from a voter who said Iowa is “losing money” to other states that have legalized cannabis. |

CLAIM Act would shield insurers covering state-legal cannabis businesses from federal penalties Representatives Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) and Warren Davidson (R-OH) introduced the Clarifying Law Around Insurance of Marijuana (CLAIM) Act on Wednesday, a bipartisan bill that would shield insurance companies, brokers, and agents from federal penalties for providing coverage to state-licensed cannabis businesses. Velázquez says the gap between federal and state law leaves legal cannabis operators exposed: "Because of the conflict between federal and state law, insurers are still hesitant to write policies for cannabis businesses. That means thousands of legal small businesses are operating without a safety net. One fire or one storm could wipe out everything an owner has built, with no way to recover. The CLAIM Act fixes this by giving these entrepreneurs access to the same basic insurance protections every other legal business takes for granted." |

How Americans’ Views on Marijuana Have Been?Shifting Christina Mancini grew up hearing that drugs were something to fear. Her grandmother cautioned her against using “dope,” while the school-based D.A.R.E. program presented drug use as a clear path to trouble. Marijuana, like other substances, was generally portrayed as harmful. Years later, Mancini, a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, began examining how Americans form opinions about crime, offenders, and criminal justice policies. Her research has covered attitudes toward people convicted of crimes against kids and sexual offenses, including cases involving college communities. Recently, she has focused on cannabis and the changing public attitudes that have influenced marijuana laws. |

Export Experience Gives Canadian Cannabis Upper Hand Over Rescheduled US Market
Canadian cannabis companies say they are cautiously optimistic about opportunities in and competition with the US in the wake of rescheduling efforts. Still, many see more opportunities for distinct operational and experiential advantages for Canadian operators than for their American counterparts. While some producers see opportunities to participate in the US market, either through Canadian intellectual property built on more than a decade in a highly regulated market or through products-in-market, others say their focus remains on Canada and growing opportunities in markets like the EU, Australia, Israel, and the UK. |

Lawmaker Calls For Independent Review Of Malta’s Cannabis Laws
In December 2021, Malta became the first European nation to adopt a national adult-use cannabis legalization measure. The only other countries on the planet to adopt a national legalization measure before Malta were Uruguay in 2013 and Canada in 2018. Nearly five years after Malta modernized its cannabis laws, a lawmaker is calling for an independent review. “Labour MP Mariah Meli has called for an independent, evidence-based evaluation of Malta’s cannabis legislation, saying concerns raised by residents about the impact of the reform on communities should be heard and addressed.” Malta Today wrote in its local reporting. “Meli said issues including cannabis odours and the location of cannabis-related premises close to homes and families needed to be examined in a “balanced manner”.” |

Are We Underestimating the Pharmaceutical Potential of the Cannabis Plant?
Yes, I think it is safe to say that the UK is currently underestimating, or at least underutilising, the full pharmaceutical potential of cannabis. This is not meant as any form of criticism of where the industry currently sits, and I do not see this as a failure of science. Cannabis tincutures could still be legally prescribed in the UK until 1973, yet it took another 45 years for cannabis-based medicines to return to legal prescribing. That interruption left a considerable gap in clinical education, while regulation has continued to struggle to keep pace with the law it is meant to implement. |

Popular cannabis theory may have less evidence than we think
There is still a lot to discover about cannabis. One oft-debated theory is the entourage effect: the idea that cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds in the plant interact to influence its effects. However, a new review wonders if the theory still has a way to go before it’s proven. An article published in Current Neuropharmacology sought to gather scientific evidence on the entourage effect. Researchers conducted a literature search for preclinical and controlled clinical studies examining whether terpenes or minor cannabinoids influence the effects of THC. |

Calling Out the New York Times’ Alarmist Cannabis Coverage
The New York Times is setting its sights on cannabis, again. Their primary concerns? Marijuana is too strong and too many people are using it. However, a deeper dive into both issues reveals that there’s far more to the story than the NYT is reporting. First, sensational claims of increases in marijuana’s potency are nothing new. In fact, the Times first began sounding the alarm about the prevalence of supposedly super-potent pot nearly five decades ago (‘A More Potent Marijuana Is Stirring Fresh Debates,’ December 28, 1978). |
