Trump is reportedly weighing a directive that would push federal agencies to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, but the White House says no final decision has been made. If it happens, Schedule III would bring meaningful 280E tax relief to state-legal operators and ease some research barriers, yet it would still leave cannabis federally illegal, keep interstate commerce off limits, and preserve the basic conflict between state markets and federal law. In other words, it could be real progress for businesses and science, but it would not deliver legalization, descheduling, broad criminal justice reform or a durable…

For a lot of people, cannabis content starts as a joke, a trend, a way to chase numbers. For Stephanie Trenkamp, it started as survival. She was a mom in her garage, lighting up after bedtime, trying to hold it together while figuring out how to help support her family without disappearing from her kids’ lives. Online, she tried everything. Beauty. Lifestyle. Whatever the algorithm seemed to want that week. None of it felt honest. Behind the scenes, she was using cannabis every day, yet the internet version of herself looked like everyone else’s feed. The disconnect turned into burnout,…

Original publication date: Nov 13. Update: Dec 10.Inside Bryan Johnson’s Experiment with Magic MushroomsMushrooms and the Illusion of Control If there’s one ancient thing in this world, it’s the fear of death. Hundreds of practices (more or less grounded in reality) have developed throughout all civilizations to delay our final breath, countless myths and legends from around the world describe heroes cheating the Grim Reaper, not to mention the hypotheses about what comes after, a staple of any religion. But today, the old religions are dying, giving way to another cult: technology. What stays the same is the fear. That’s…

For seven months, American athlete Jarred Shaw sat inside Indonesia’s prison system, wondering whether a package of THC gummies sent from Thailand would cost him his life. On Tuesday, an Indonesian court sentenced the 35-year-old to 26 months. The decision marks a sharp departure from the death penalty framework that police and prosecutors had floated earlier in the case. According to humanitarian advocate and international justice negotiator Donte West, who shared the verdict directly with High Times, the ruling reflects an uncommon acknowledgment of medical context inside Indonesia’s narcotics courts. Shaw uses THC products to manage symptoms of Crohn’s disease,…

In recent weeks, media outlets from Fox 8 to CNN have turned up the volume on stories about Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), a rare but very real condition tied to chronic cannabis use. The coverage is loud, graphic, and alarmist. What it isn’t? Balanced. Let’s be clear: CHS exists. It’s a documented medical syndrome involving cyclical vomiting and abdominal pain, most often found in heavy, long-term cannabis users. Many patients report compulsive use of hot showers or baths to relieve symptoms, a distinctive behavioral pattern that helps doctors identify the condition. It was first identified in Australia in 2004 and…

Florida’s medical marijuana program could see one of its most significant expansions yet. Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith filed a bill that would allow qualified medical marijuana patients to grow cannabis at home, creating a right that advocates have pushed for since the program was approved by voters in 2016. Senate Bill 776 authorizes eligible patients who are at least 21 years old to cultivate up to six flowering cannabis plants at their residence for personal, noncommercial use. The plants must be secured to prevent access by unauthorized individuals. The proposal also makes it legal for patients to buy seeds and…
