A Republican Weed CEO Wants To Be Governor. Can Cannabis Be His Bridge Issue?
Duke Rodriguez runs Ultra Health and is running for governor of New Mexico as a Republican. In a moment when "rescheduling" is still only a federal directive, not a finished reality, he argues cannabis can shift from a partisan fight to a practical test of governance: rules people can follow, honest labeling, real oversight, and a legal market that can actually compete with the illicit one. |

Gen Z's weed habits are flipping California's cannabis industry

Teens Didn't Just Discover Weed. So Why Is The Wall St. Journal Acting Like They Did?

The gadgets are newer. The hardware is newer. The hiding spots may be newer, too. But the underlying behavior? Please. American teenagers did not just discover weed because a dispensary opened in town.

Living soil and retractable roofs: Scale's cultivation strategy in South Africa
All the roads lead to cannabis, or something like that, I guess. It is the role of proverbs to be applied to different facets of life, so no hard feelings towards the Roman Empire. That is anyway the long story short that would summarize one of Scale's founders Cyrus Renfrew's career. At the same time, one may say that his approach is the embodiment of "look before you leap". "I started in this industry growing CBD in Spain," he recounts. "I always wanted to get into the THC side of things, but 10–11 years ago, it was just not worth it. But mainly, I wanted to navigate that space first while fully aware this was just a first step." A quite successful first step, even, as Cyrus used to run one of the biggest CBD operations in Spain. |
