The cannabis space has always attracted visionaries. From cultivators and scientists to brand builders and activists, women have helped shape the industry since its earliest days. Yet as the market matures, women often find themselves pushed to the margins of leadership. The National Women’s Collaborative (NWC) is working to change that, creating resources and opportunities for women to lead with strength, strategy, and authenticity. This September, NWC brings its signature event, We Mean Business Summit, to Puerto Rico. The four-day gathering is designed to spark innovation, deepen leadership, and provide balance for high-achieving women across industries, including cannabis. The Story…

By Christopher Filkins For decades, the relationship between cannabis and country clubs was defined by furtive teenagers ducking behind sand traps, groundskeepers turning a blind eye to the smell of “grass” mixing with fresh-cut grass. A possession charge could ban you from these manicured greens forever, your membership revoked faster than you could yell “fore!” The idea that cannabis professionals would one day stride through the front entrance, registration paid and tee times booked, would have seemed as unlikely as…well, Budweiser sponsoring outlaw bikers. Yet here we are. In New England, a bastion of old money and traditional values, the…

TL;DR: A new paper in Nature Communications looked at THC around eggs during IVF and saw a small dip in the share of embryos that look chromosomally “normal” in the lab. A local TV piece turned that into “weed causes infertility, miscarriages, and genetic defects.” That’s not what the study showed. It didn’t track pregnancies or babies and used leftover immature eggs in dishes. Meanwhile, big human studies find no slower time-to-pregnancy and an IVF cohort found no worse IVF results. If you’re trying to conceive or are pregnant, mainstream guidance says to pause use, per the CDC and ACOG.…

Picture this: a rugby pitch, sweat in the air, bodies colliding with that mix of grace and chaos only rugby can deliver. On the sideline, instead of the usual beer logos and corporate banners, you see RAW Rolling Papers. Instead of Budweiser, there’s Beneleaves. Instead of a cooler stacked with light beer, there are capsules packed with CBD, CBG, and electrolytes. Welcome to the world of Crewmen Rugby 7’s, the first cannabis-backed rugby squad in the United States. Born from a half-serious Instagram experiment and fueled by plant-based sponsorships, the Crewmen are rewriting what sports sponsorship looks like, and clearly…

You know those tequila shops in Mexico? The tourist traps in every major resort town that try to pass off random blends of grain spirits as the real-deal Holyfield blue agave tequila? Yes, this may come as a shock to our audience, but if you have even the slightest sense of what defines a quality cannabis product, you may leave Amsterdam feeling a bit… hoodwinked. Bamboozled. Punk’d. Firmly the mecca of cannabis since back in 1976, Amsterdam holds a special place in our stoner hearts because of their laissez-faire approach to recreational consumption. For many, a trip to their famed…

Carmelo Anthony just made basketball history.

The drop features limited runs of flower and infused pre-rolls, packaged with collectible pins and branded as a cultural celebration of Anthony’s induction weekend. A Collaboration Rooted in Culture Skyworld…

TL;DR: Cannabis is meant to be enjoyable for adults. But when products start looking like candy or cartoons, the line gets blurry. Tobacco’s history shows that even the appearance of marketing to kids can trigger harsh regulations. If cannabis wants a sustainable future, it has to prove it can draw that line for itself. Cannabis has always been fun. It is part of what makes it powerful, what makes it stick in culture. But fun becomes a problem when it starts creeping into the territory of kid-friendly. That is the line the industry needs to pay attention to, now more…
