Is Cannabis Legal in Germany in 2026? The Law, the Market and What It Means for Operators
No, not in the way it is in the majority of US states or Canada. Germany decriminalised cannabis for adults in April 2024 under the Cannabis Act (CanG), permitting possession of up to 25 grams of cannabis for adult-use. It also enables citizens to grow up to three cannabis plants at home and have up to 50 grams of cannabis flower on their property. Cannabis cultivation associations were also legalised. Public consumption is allowed, but strict rules apply that make it all but banned in densely populated areas. |

N.S. authorities investigating after report of fentanyl in cannabis
Nova Scotia officials say they are investigating after a report that fentanyl was detected in cannabis on a First Nation community. Membertou First Nation’s health centre says it has issued a drug alert after receiving a report from a community member. The Nova Scotia government said late Saturday its health department and Cape Breton Regional Police have launched an investigation into the alert.

New cannabis laws in South Africa – you’re allowed to have up to 1,500 joints South Africans could soon have clearer rules on how much cannabis they are legally allowed to possess, with draft regulations proposing a limit of 750 grams per person. The proposed regulations form part of the implementation of the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act. The Act is intended to establish a legal framework following the Constitutional Court’s landmark 2018 judgment that decriminalised the private use and cultivation of cannabis by adults. |

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 counts the whole edible toward its weight. An ounce of marijuana is still a misdemeanor. And the delta-9 gummies still on the shelf survive on a technicality that federal law is about to erase. Congress just moved that date to December 11, and Trump signed it Wednesday. |

What if CBD enhanced the effects of THC? A comprehensive analysis challenges a common misconception CBD may have a less predictable effect on THC than is generally believed. A new meta-analysis conducted by researchers at the University of Montreal Hospital Center concludes that taking both cannabinoids simultaneously may increase the amount of THC and, in particular, its active metabolite, the 11-OH-THC, present in the blood. |

Texas rejected a hemp THC ban. Why is the industry being regulated out of business?
Operators in Texas’ estimated $5.5 billion hemp market have spent more than a year trying to answer a basic question: does the state want them to exist, or is Texas trying to regulate the hemp industry out of business? Gov. Greg Abbott appeared to answer that question in June 2025 when he vetoed Senate Bill 3, the Legislature’s sweeping attempt to ban consumable hemp products containing THC. But the state’s actions since then tell a different story. |

Canada’s Cannabis Vape Boom Has a Trash Problem
Cannabis vapes, including both single-use and 510 cartridges, comprise almost 20% of total cannabis sales every year across Canada. This has resulted in upwards of 3,550 tonnes of waste over the past four years, and that number is growing at a significant rate each year, creating a significant environmental footprint. Canada’s legal cannabis industry has come a long way since recreational cannabis was legalized in October 2018. Consumers now have an enormous selection of products available through thousands of legal retailers across the country. |

Cannabis edibles can impair driving, even with blood THC below legal limits
The feeling of being "high" on cannabis primarily comes from its psychoactive compound, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Alongside it is its more subdued companion, cannabidiol (CBD), often used for its potential therapeutic benefits. THC is also found in many familiar edibles, from soft, chewy candies to brownies and chocolates, and can affect the brain when consumed. A new study demonstrates how THC edibles can also affect driving ability. |

Idaho Lawmaker Urges Voters To Approve Ballot Measure Restricting Their Own Ability To Legalize Marijuana An Idaho lawmaker is urging voters to approve a measure on the November ballot that would restrict their own ability to legalize marijuana in the future. Sen. C. Scott Grow (R), who sponsored the proposed constitutional amendment to make it so that only lawmakers could legalize cannabis or other controlled substances, said the measure is a way to push back against the marijuana industry, which he claims is trying to make money off of addiction. |

Trump Just Delayed the Hemp Ban. The New Deadline Is the Day Government Funding Runs Out.
The hemp industry got its extension. It did not get much else. On Wednesday, September 2, President Trump signed into law H.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027. The bill keeps the federal government funded through December 11 and, tucked inside it, delays most of the hemp restrictions that were set to take effect on November 12. |

Curaleaf responds to Aurora's rejection by citing its share sales at US$3.09
Curaleaf has answered Aurora's rejection of its bid by pointing at the prices Aurora's own board sold shares at. Aurora's board told shareholders to take no action and to withdraw any shares already tendered. Curaleaf responded on 2 September, and its case turns on the at-the-market equity programs Aurora has used to fund the debt-free balance sheet it put at the center of its defense. |

Cannabis at work: key lessons for employers
As prescriptions for medical cannabis become more common, employers are facing a difficult shift in workplace drugs management. For years, many organisations have treated a positive cannabis test as a straightforward disciplinary issue. That approach is increasingly risky. Where cannabis has been lawfully prescribed, the key question is not simply whether cannabis is present, but whether the employee is fit for work, whether their condition may be a disability, and whether the employer’s response is reasonable and evidence-based. |

Cannabis consumers are no longer stoner stereotypes. Not all brands are marketing accordingly
When it comes to marijuana, millennials may be the last generation of Americans to grow up when Amsterdam still had a whiff of the mystical. For those who were cannabis-curious in the ‘90s and early-aughts, Amsterdam represented an impossible dreamland where one could simply walk into The Weed Store and legally purchase what then amounted to contraband stateside. |

What’s in Store for the Global Cannabis Industry in 2026? Mid-Year Update
In December 2025, we asked our in-house team of experts how they expected to see the industry evolve over the coming year. Following a frantic news cycle over the past eight months, we wanted to revisit these predictions and examine what has come to fruition, what regulation is stuck in political limbo, and what developments have come out of left field. Key pieces of legislation in major global markets, including Germany, the UK, and Australia, are yet to be fully clarified, published or enforced. Each of these could yet have a transformative impact on their respective markets, shaping or curbing the telemedicine prescribing phenomenon which we cited as the engine of growth throughout 2025. |

Aurora Cannabis urges shareholders to reject hostile takeover offer by Curaleaf
Aurora Cannabis Inc. is urging its shareholders to reject a hostile takeover bid by Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. The company says the unsolicited bid by Curaleaf undervalues Aurora and is not in the best interests of shareholders. Aurora says it is debt free and has about C$149 million in cash, while Curaleaf has over C$1 billion in debt and would gain control over its cash without paying fairly. |

The Old Farmer’s Almanac Embraces Cannabis
From Farm Staple to Backyard Crop: The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s Cannabis Growing Guide Shows How Marijuana Has Gone Mainstream If you want to know how deeply cannabis has moved into the American mainstream, you could look at dispensary sales, legalization maps or the growing number of states allowing recreational marijuana. Or you could look somewhere much more unexpected: A middle American staple, the old Farmer’s Almanac embraces cannabis just like roses, turnips, carrots or corn. Published continuously since 1792, when George Washington was president, the Old Farmer’s Almanac is the oldest continuously published periodical in North America. For generations, it has been a staple in farmhouses, kitchens, garden sheds and suburban homes, offering planting calendars, gardening advice, recipes, astronomical information and, of course, its famously scrutinized long-range weather forecasts. Its audience has expanded well beyond farmers, but its roots remain firmly planted in practical advice for people who want to grow things. |

THC from silver? Scientists find surprising way to produce cannabinoids A lot must happen for a cannabis plant to create compounds like THC and CBD. A cannabis plant’s life cycle lasts several months, and how much THC or CBD ultimately shows up can vary. Scientists are exploring ways to produce cannabinoids at scale without growing entire cannabis plants, potentially offering an alternative to conventional cultivation. Now, researchers are looking at silver as an option. According to a paper published in BMC Biotechnology, researchers successfully produced small concentrations of THC and CBD from cannabis callus cultures using silver nanoparticles. |

Costa Rica opens first medical cannabis manufacturing laboratory Vantage Point Global opened a manufacturing laboratory in El Guarco, Cartago, on Friday, August 28, marking what the company calls Costa Rica's first facility dedicated to manufacturing medical cannabis products such as oils, concentrates, syrups, and tablets. Previously, the company's local operation, Hybrida Farms, mainly grew cannabis for export as raw material; the new lab allows more processing to happen domestically rather than shipping crops abroad. The company plans to manufacture finished products for export to Germany, Switzerland, and the UK, and hopes to eventually sell in Costa Rica once regulations permit domestic registration, still a major industry obstacle. Costa Rica legalized medical and therapeutic cannabis in 2022 under Law 10,113, which also allows hemp for food and industrial use, but regulatory gaps continue to hinder domestic sales of finished products. |

How Cannabis Legalization Affects Substance Use
The legalization of cannabis affects substance use, with the potential for both negative and positive impacts on public health, a new McGill-led study found. The researchers conducted a systematic review of evidence from 176 studies spanning 30 years in Canada, the United States, Europe, Uruguay and Australia. Published in The Milbank Quarterly, the review is one of the most comprehensive assessments to date of how cannabis policy reforms affect substance use and public health. |

Is the Global Shift to the Right Threatening International Cannabis Reforms?
Who controls government is one of the most important factors when discussing cannabis reform. Most international cannabis advisors focus on a country’s cannabis policies, but not necessarily on the politics that created those policies. They also tend to overlook the politics that will determine their future. That is where I differ. I not only follow cannabis policy, but also the politics that can determine whether those policies advance, stall, or move backwards. |

Here’s how cannabis legalization affected tobacco, alcohol and opioid use: McGill study
A new study out of McGill University shows that cannabis legalization has created a mixed bag of positive and negative impacts in addition to having possible effects on other substance use. Study lead Sarah Windle said that, as expected, medical and recreational cannabis legislation increased initiation and prevalence of use among adults. “What we were particularly interested in is whether other substance use changes, in particular, whether there’s consequences for even legal drugs such as alcohol or tobacco, because together alcohol and tobacco actually account for about 95 per cent of substance-related mortality worldwide,” said the PhD candidate in McGill’s department of epidemiology. |

Rastafari leader urges brethren to join legal cannabis industry
High Priest Selah, also known as Conneal Christian, is urging Rastafari brethren still operating outside the law to join the regulated cannabis industry, warning that division within the community is undermining the economic opportunities now available. The Nyabinghi Order leader made the appeal during an interview with Observer Media on the state of Antigua and Barbuda’s cannabis sector, framing legalisation as an opportunity the community must not squander through infighting. |

BC, Ontario Lead in Cannabis Licensing in 2026, Revocations Surpass New Licences
There have been 45 new cannabis production licences issued in Canada in the first eight months of 2026. As of the end of August, there are 900 federal cannabis licences. More than seven in 10 of these new licences were Micros (32), 24% were Standard (11), and one each was a Nursery and a Medical Sales-Only licence. Most new Micros (18 of 32) received both a Micro cultivation and a Micro Processing licence. British Columbia was home to the most new licences, with 18 (15 Micro, two Standard, one MSO). Ontario followed this with 12 (six Micro, six Standard), and Quebec with eight.* |

A high old time! More than half of NYC senior citizens now use weed simply ‘to get high’: study Senior citizens in the Big Apple are using marijuana at record levels, with the vast majority doing it simply “to get high” rather than for medical reasons, according to a new study. Roughly 60% of people ages 65 and older in the city admitted they get stoned just for fun — outnumbering those who partake to treat chronic pain, relieve tension or sleep, said the study by NYU Langone, which surveyed hundreds of older adults in New York City. |

Scientists Discover a Cannabis Receptor That Could Stop Breast Cancer Spreading
Cancer cells are proving trickier than we thought, so scientists are getting even trickier to shift the survival odds in our favor. Recent medical research has highlighted a significant issue: cancer cells display plasticity. Some cancer cells can spontaneously revert from a differentiated state to become 'immature' and stem-cell-like again, switching their identity to yield more diverse, aggressive, and proliferative tumors. As a result, they thwart traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, which aim to stop cellular division and kill cancerous (and other) cells outright. |

Study Finds CBD Suppressed Growth and Invasion of Human Glioma Cells, While Reducing Tumor Growth in a Mouse Model Cannabidiol (CBD) significantly suppressed the growth, migration and invasion of glioma cells while reducing tumor burden in mice, according to a new study that identified a potential mechanism behind the cannabinoid’s anticancer effects. The study, published in BioMed Research International, was conducted by researchers affiliated with Anhui Medical University, Lu’an People’s Hospital and the Beijing Institute of Basic Medical Sciences. Researchers examined whether CBD limits glioma progression partly by suppressing lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2), a protein involved in extracellular-matrix remodeling and cancer-cell invasiveness. |

Tennis players complain as smell of cannabis distracts at US Open
Britain’s US Open hopefuls thought they had put the grass behind them when Wimbledon finished – but the smell of it is all around Flushing Meadows.

Diversity is not the same as equity in US cannabis industry
(This is a contributed guest column. To be considered as an MJBizDaily guest columnist, please submit your request here.) The first time I understood cannabis enforcement, I was with five friends on the side of a road while police searched our car. Only one of us was white. He had smoked a blunt. An officer said he smelled cannabis, and that was reason enough to detain all six of us and search the vehicle. The officer didn’t know who had smoked or what lives we would go on to lead. In that moment, a smell turned a group of young men into a police matter. new framework ctas (2) My white friend later became an exceptional legal cannabis grower, but prohibition affected him by criminalizing the plant around which he developed expertise. I entered government and worked on cannabis regulation, social equity funding and business development. Both stories belong in the legal cannabis industry. But that encounter taught me that the same law can touch several people without leaving the same scars. That difference is what equity is supposed to measure. Are diversity and equity synonyms? Diversity asks who is present. Inclusion asks who is permitted to participate. Equity asks who was harmed, what was taken from them and whether resources, authority and opportunity are being directed toward repairing that injury. A cannabis company can employ people of different races and genders while ownership, investment and executive control remain concentrated among people with the greatest access to capital. |
