Forensic labs rarely ever identify the presence of fentanyl in illicit cannabis samples, according to an analysis published in the journal The Lancet Regional Health – Americas. Harvard Medical School researchers reviewed drug chemistry results from nearly 12 million samples of illicit substances seized by law enforcement between the years 2013 to 2023. They identified fentanyl in fewer than two percent of the samples tested. Fentanyl co-occurrence was most prevalent in heroin but was “low” among non-opioid substances. Fewer than three percent of cocaine seizures tested positive for fentanyl and only one percent of methamphetamine samples tested positive for it.…

By Charles Bukowski Warming up Blue Mongoose on the backstretch before the last race, Larry Peterson noticed that the horse was really rank, almost spooked. Larry had been riding for 15 years and he knew his horses. This one really had a bug up its ass. Larry tried to let the horse ease out of it, but at post time things weren’t any better. He rode up to the gate ahead of the other horses and found McKelvey. He told McKelvey, “This fucking beast is unfit. I want him scratched.” “He looks all right to me,” McKelvey answered. Larry knew…
The percentage of high-school students who report consuming cannabis has fallen significantly over the better part of the past decade, according to an analysis of federal data published in the journal Pediatric Reports.

My father busted me smoking cannabis exactly once, on the Fourth of July, 2003. I say “busted” in the sense that I was trying to not draw attention. Though I was a legal adult, this was in New Hampshire in the early 2000s, so nothing marijuana-related was legal. I had always been a nerdy kid (adding to the invisible forcefield that shields white dudes like myself from all suspicion) but had discovered cannabis a few years earlier, I found out I really enjoyed cannabis the summer I turned 17. That year, when my dad found me smoking weed on his porch on…

Legal As German cannabis legalization inevitably succeeds, it will provide a major boost to the rest of Europe’s outlook on cannabis reform. Published on July 5, 2024 The history of Europe’s cannabis reform movement will forever be measured by adult-use legalization in Germany. Germany, which implemented the first provisions of its new adult-use cannabis law on April 1 , will never hold the title of being the first to legalize cannabis nationwide on the European continent. However, German legalization is undeniably the most significant cannabis reform victory in Europe’s history, and possibly the world. Adults in Germany can now possess…
Most marijuana consumers say that their cannabis consumption reduces their use of alcohol and many also report substituting it for other substances, including methamphetamine, morphine, and tobacco, according to survey data published in The Harm Reduction Journal. New Zealand researchers assessed responses to an online survey provided by 23,500 participants with a history of cannabis use and other substances. Respondents frequently reported that cannabis led to reductions in their use of other substances — a finding that is consistent with prior research. This substitution effect was most pronounced for alcohol, with 60 percent of subjects acknowledging that “using cannabis led…
