When recurring sinus infections back in 2016 forced TribeTokes co-founder Degelis Pilla to cut back on smoking and vaping cannabis, she began searching for an alternative consumption method that would work just as well as inhalation for long-term use. She explored the market but found nothing that checked all the boxes. She wanted something plant-based, vegan, free of artificial colors or additives, and with a precise dose that left no room for error.

“My whole life, I loved smoking. Chronic sinus infections, surgeries and losing my voice made me realize that there needed to be an alternative way of utilizing the product and making sure dosing is on point,” Pilla explains. When her hunt came up short, Pilla decided to team up with her friend Kymberly Byrnes in 2017 to create a range of products of their very own—they called it TribeTokes.

It’s a clean, luxury cannabis brand built on transparency, intention and enhancing the user experience. Tribetokes offers a variety of products, such as pre-rolls and vapes. Their flagship product, their gummies, are fully vegan, flavored with real fruit extract, and carefully formulated for specific effects. Whether you need support sleeping, increasing libido or getting a good buzz, each gummy delivers exactly that while providing a real fruit-like flavor, thanks to natural ingredients.

TribeTokes understands what customers need because the founders, Pilla and Byrnes, experienced the challenges themselves. Many people can’t consume artificial colors or additives, which means most edibles on the market don’t work for them. TribeTokes uses pectin instead of gelatin to achieve that gummy texture. And all of their products use only natural, high-quality ingredients paired with a high standard of processes to maintain product integrity. They also know that people want a more discreet way of consuming cannabis. As Pilla says, “Maybe you’re at your in-laws’ house and you need to microdose your way through dinner without pulling out a vape pen.”

Pilla and Byrnes have a community-first approach to customer service, doing everything in their power to show up for customers. “We specialize in answering questions about dosing, explaining how different cannabinoids work, and helping people find the right product for their specific needs,” Pilla explains. If their product line seems daunting, don’t be afraid to reach out for guidance. The team is more than happy to help you choose the product that suits you best. 

While TribeTokes is praised for their range of products, including flower, pre-rolls, tinctures, vapes, topicals, and even remedies for your furry friends, we’re impressed by their five gummy offerings, which we take a deeper look into below.  

Good Things Come in Small Packages

Every one of TribeTokes gummies is a tailored sensory experience. Dege designed the gummies to have specific effects that she needed and wanted. Using natural ingredients and precision dosing, every recipe combines a unique profile of cannabinoids—carefully formulated to support distinct effects and purposeful moments. Because of the specialized nature of each member of the portfolio, it only makes sense to dive in deep and review them one by one to fully appreciate what TribeTokes has to offer.

Buzzed Pineapple

Formula: This specific edible was designed for experienced cannabis consumers committed to the journey. Buzzed delivers 10 mg Delta‑9 THC along with 20 mg Delta‑8 THC per gummy. This is a more potent combination than other edibles within the TribeTokes product portfolio.

Flavor & Effect: Pineapple tastes like pineapple! Vibrant tropical flavors are bursting as you chew. Onset is faster: effects begin as early as 35–40 minutes as opposed to the typical one hour-and-asses mark. It’s a swift trip into a clear, euphoric high with relaxing effects on the body. The peak intensity of the experience lasts about three hours. We recommend pairing this with nighttime rituals because, sometimes, there’s a lingering effect towards the end of the experience.

Suggested Use: This is a “clear your calendar” gummy—great for parties, movies or late-night creativity. Not for beginners, and not for mid-day tasks.

Libido Lift Cherry

• Formula: This functional gummy includes 10mg of CBD, 20mg of CBC and a proprietary blend of Maca, Muira Puama, Catuaba and Mucuna. This is a mixture of traditional aphrodisiacs to target mood, blood flow and body awareness.

• Flavor & Effect: The dark fruit flavor of cherry dominates the palette, layered with botanical and herb undercurrents. The body effects took about 90 minutes to appear, starting with a subtle body heat and mild euphoria, like a tickle behind the eyes and consciousness. Peak sensations hovered in the 2 to 3-hour window, with increased tactile sensitivity and mood elevation, though more subtle than traditional buzz-forward gummies. This was not just a libido-based use case. After a terrible headache, this specific gummy lifted the pain and pressure without the psychoactive effects. It felt good to just be.

• Suggested Use: This gummy sets the tone for intimacy, like pregaming for a fun-filled evening. It’s helpful for unwinding in a sensual way, getting in touch with the body and breathwork. This edible is less about intensity and more about a subtle, soft and embodied presence.

Sleep Mixed Berry

• Formula: Each gummy is composed of 10 mg Delta‑9 THC, 20 mg CBN, 1 mg B6 and 250 mg L‑Tryptophan. When thinking of edibles as medicine with curated effects, this is one of TribeTokes’ most targeted blends. It was created specifically to ease users into restful slumber. Figuring out dosage over a month-long period is key here, as you test the specific amount your body needs for restful sleep while still being able to wake up feeling up refreshed and unfogged.

• Flavor & Effect: The mixed berry flavor is rich and herbalicious. Around 60–75 minutes post-consumption, the effects of this journey are built with a heady buzz followed by full-body relaxation. The blend doesn’t knock the user out abruptly, but rather guides them gently into sleep. Most users will sleep 6-8 hours with minimal disruption; however, it takes a little bit of experimentation around dosage to prevent waking up groggy.

• Suggested Use: This gummy is perfect for winding down after a long day, or when traditional sleep aids like Melatonin aren’t quite enough. This blend is strong and highly effective.

Solventless Watermelon

• Formula: Each gummy contains 10 mg of live rosin THC, extracted via heat and pressure (without solvents), to preserve the terpene profile in addition to the minor cannabinoids. According to their website, “rosin is considered the champagne of cannabis extracts because it is all-natural, incredibly pure, and delivers a full-spectrum experience.” It’s a curious process as the cannabis is flash frozen to access the full spectrum of both cannabinoids and terpenes that are expertly extracted in a way that distillate is unable to deliver on.

• Flavor & Effect: The watermelon flavor is juicy with potent herb undertones. Effects set in about one hour later and bring about a warm body sensation followed by a light euphoric head high. Peak intensity was reached by the second hour, maintaining a comfortable plateau through the fifth hour, and tapering gently over the next few. Of course, timing will vary from person to person. 

• Suggested Use: Best suited for deep creative work, mellowing out, or early evening unwinding after work. The effect is present but not in the same way as the Buzzed: Pineapple. This is a portfolio piece that captures the mythos of what solventless “clean cannabis” highs can achieve.

CBD-Boosted Mango

• Formula: Each mango gummy blends 10mg Delta‑9 THC with 20mg CBD, using live resin extract to access the full-spectrum qualities while simultaneously softening the THC’s psychoactive effects. According to the TribeTokes website, this live resin extract gummies developed a following among cannabis enthusiasts because of their unique effects, including deep relaxation and staying asleep throughout the night.

• Flavor & Effect: A rich, mango flavor leads the experience. The journey leans both introspective and cerebral, setting in around 45 minutes with a notable mental shift. The added CBD grounds the trip, keeping anxiety and overstimulation at bay by focusing on the body effects. The peak experience holds steady between hours two and three, with a soft fade by hour six. Unlike the other gummies in the portfolio, it’s suggested that you start with smaller dosing before working up to the ideal dose. This is a trip that can get intense quick.

• Suggested Use: This is a great option for those solo evenings like out of a Kid Cudi song, deep introspection, or media immersion. This doesn’t inspire the same couch lock as other formulas. Like goldilocks, we would describe this experience as not too intense, hitting a balanced middle ground between intensity and calm.

TribeTokes Leads The Clean Cannabis Movement

TribeTokes’ mission to deliver premium quality to their customers carries on beyond the consumption experience. This is a female-owned brand that you partner with for long-term sustainable use; it’s a relationship you can grow and perform with. We know processes are key for accessing both major and minor cannabinoids. Additionally, Pilla and Byrnes are spearheading the Clean Cannabis Movement, and you can help be a part of this paradigm shift while enjoying a luxury cannabis high that tastes as good as it feels.

President Donald Trump today signed an executive order expediting the reclassification of cannabis as a less dangerous drug—moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.

The president was joined by several medical leaders during the signing, including Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz; Dr. Nora Volkow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse; FDA Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary; and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., among others.

“I have a very distinguished group of people behind me, mostly medical people and brilliant people and they really know what they’re doing,” the president said, prior to announcing he would sign an order to reschedule cannabis.

Trump emphasized the large public support for the reclassification, adding that the move polled at 82% in favor and will help patients “live a far better life.” He also made clear that the rescheduling is not the same as legalization saying, “I want to emphasize the order I’m about to sign doesn’t legalize marijuana in any way, shape or form.”

Substances classified as Schedule I have a “high abuse potential with no accepted medical use; medications within this schedule may not be prescribed, dispensed or administered,” states the National Library of Medicine. Heroin, LSD, MDMA and cannabis currently fall under this categorization. Last Spring, the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), proposed that the substance be moved to the list of Schedule III drugs, which have less potential for abuse and are accepted for medical treatments. Other substances classified as Schedule III drugs include ketamine, testosterone and anabolic steroids.

While today’s executive order falls short of full legalization, the reclassification marks one of the most significant reversals in US drug policy in decades. This decision could have wide-ranging effects on the cannabis industry, criminal enforcement and access to research funding.

“Rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III is a meaningful step forward that will finally give legitimate cannabis businesses access to basic banking, tax relief, and the tools needed to operate like any other industry,” says Eugenio Garcia, Cannabis Now’s founder and CEO. “While this progress is welcome, true reform must also include justice—no one should remain incarcerated for cannabis as the nation moves toward acceptance and regulation. This moment is about unlocking economic opportunity while correcting the human cost of prohibition.”

Jamie Pearson, New Holland Group’s president and founder, comments on the progress as well as the work that remains for the cannabis industry: “Today’s executive action is a meaningful and long-overdue step toward aligning federal policy with medical reality. Directing the rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III acknowledges its accepted medical use and begins to remove structural barriers to research, clinical guidance and responsible access,” she says. This was the message largely put forth by Trump and his supporters during the signing as well.

“That said, rescheduling is not legalization, nor does it resolve all of the regulatory and economic challenges facing the industry,” she says. “The real work now lies in thoughtful implementation, ensuring that research, patient access and public safety advance together, and that policy clarity follows intent. This is progress, and it should be treated with both optimism and discipline.

The prospect of reclassifying cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III has prompted swift and varied reactions across the political and cannabis landscapes.

“It shows incredible leadership for the president to have the courage to take the lead on cannabis reform,” comments Dave Marrow, CEO of Lume Cannabis MI.

“Today’s executive order to reclassify cannabis is a meaningful step toward aligning federal policy with science and economic reality. Moving cannabis to Schedule III acknowledges its medical value while bringing long-overdue clarity to how cannabis is cultivated, researched, and commercialized. While it’s not the final destination, this shift will accelerate innovation, unlock investment and help professional cultivators and operators continue to raise standards across the industry. At FOHSE Lighting, we see this as real progress for sustainable growth in cannabis cultivation,” says FOHSE Lighting CEO and Co-founder Brett Stevens.

During the signing, those in attendance congratulated Trump for his leadership on the matter. “Thank you for your leadership and vision and finally getting to closure on this issue,” Kennedy, Jr. said. “This is a scientific question that has divided our country for many, many years.”

Trump allowed those alongside him to weigh in, ultimately reinforcing their shared view that increased research into cannabis is essential for advancing medical understanding and improving quality of life. “Research is crucial. Yes, cannabis can be addictive, but we cannot close our eyes to research,” he said.  “What we need to do is research and learn how to optimally use it.”

Putting pen to paper, Trump said,  “It’s an honor to do this.”

The 2025 Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards brought together cannabis lovers from across the industry—including coffeeshops, staff, brand representatives and regular patrons—for a weekend of tastings, meetups and shop visits across the city. Organized by AudioKush, the three-day event, held November 14-16, has grown steadily since its launch in 2021 and now serves as an annual record of where Amsterdam’s coffeeshop community stands and how it continues to grow.

To gain a better understanding of the cultural significance of the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards, it is helpful to examine how Amsterdam’s coffeeshops originated. In the 1970s, the city started allowing small-scale cannabis sales under controlled conditions. This wasn’t legalization, but it wasn’t an underground loophole either. Rather, it was a practical harm-reduction strategy that eventually shaped Amsterdam’s identity as one of the world’s most recognized cannabis destinations.

For many international visitors, especially those from countries with strict laws, coffeeshops were the first place they saw cannabis handled as a normal part of daily life. Customers could sit down, read a menu, and ask staff about different strains—something that didn’t exist anywhere else at the time. As the years passed, coffee shops became an integral part of the city’s cultural landscape, influenced by music, art, hospitality, food and nightlife. They also became an early example for policymakers looking to understand what a regulated cannabis environment could look like.

The Amsterdam Coffee Shop Awards draw on that history. Rather than simply naming winners, they aim to recognize the people and businesses that continue to shape a culture built over decades.

How The Judging Process Works

The awards are split into two sections with distinct judging methods. The Consumer Choice categories are decided by public voting, giving a clear picture of what regular coffee shop customers and visitors value most across the city. For the Industry Awards, over the course of a week, a panel of 25 industry professionals independently samples and scores the city’s best flower, hash, pre-rolls, edibles, coffeeshops and concentrates. Each product is independently evaluated in a blind taste test, with no branding or identifying information provided to the judges, ensuring that assessments focus solely on quality. Together, these two approaches reflect both the community’s preferences and the standards recognized by industry professionals.

The awards gala was held on Docks 1, a smoker-friendly boat cruise and Amsterdam’s largest floating venue, which capped off a three-day stretch of meet-ups, coffeeshop visits, tastings and late-night parties. According to Russell D, marketing director for Amsterdam Coffee Shop Awards, a total of 200 industry professionals were aboard the awards cruise. By the time the winners were announced, most people in the room had already shared a joint, a conversation, or at least a handshake somewhere else in the city.

Now, let’s take a look at this year’s full list of winners.

2025 Consumer Choice Awards

These categories were decided entirely by public vote; the customers, locals and visitors who give Amsterdam’s coffeeshops their character.

• Coffeeshop of the Year: Barney’s Coffeeshop: Barney’s secured the title for a second consecutive year, becoming the first coffeeshop to achieve this accolade in the Awards’ history.

YANA Wellness, a women-owned and operated cannabis brand with a licensed dispensary in Washington, DC, officially makes history as the first hemp-derived THC beverage line in all Total Wine retail locations across Virginia. Their e-commerce platform also reaches consumers with their plant-based alternative drinks nationwide. This marks a major milestone not only for YANA as a small, women-owned business, but for all women pioneering plant-based wellness products for nationwide distribution.

The Founder and CEO of YANA, Ariana Fleishman, has made a blueprint for minority small business owners to create accessible, compliant and community-driven products. Fleishman utilizes her social media platforms to educate consumers and business owners alike.

“YANA stands for You Are Not Alone, and it is also the nickname my mom gave me as a kid. I’ve always wanted to create a community around this mission. Mental health issues are at an all-time with everything going on in the world today. I truly believe you can’t change the world until you change your own community,” Fleishman says. “Adderall and alcohol—these are so normalized in today’s society. My doctor would prescribe me Adderall for the workday to combat my ADHD. Then at night, bars and restaurants only have alcohol on the menu, which completely impairs my memory and makes me feel so sick the next day. Why is this lifestyle still so normalized? Why do we have to be so quiet when we choose to consume plants over poison?”

“Cannabis and Mushrooms are already clinically proven to be an effective medicine and provide so many life-changing benefits when purchased from lab-tested and credible sources,” she continues. “But still, the norm is to take highly addictive drugs prescribed by doctors and to drink alcohol to socialize with friends. My goal is to change this stigma by providing plant-based alternatives in mainstream settings.”

Breaking Down Prohibition Barriers and Entering the Mainstream Market

With cannabis still under federal prohibition, Fleishman purposely developed a variety of plant-based alternative blends so that at least one of their drinks on the product line would meet all jurisdictional regulations in every state. This was her strategy for expanding the brand and the plant-based alternatives culture into new markets while cannabis legalization is still uncertain nationwide.

If you find yourself in Virginia, be sure to look for YANA products at your nearest Total Wine. Beyond these stores, consumers can now also find YANA drinks on various restaurant menus in the DMV area and explore the benefits of cannabinoids, functional mushrooms and adaptogens without fear of the negative stigma.

YANA’s Rizzi Mushroom Elixir is a consumer favorite that contains no THC or CBD—just a federally legal blend of nootropic and adaptogenic mushrooms. Rizzi Elixir is featured at premiere social clubs in DC, like Ciel Rooftop at Marriott’s Downtown Hotel and Spark Social, DC’s first non-alcoholic social club for the LGBTQ+ community. These mainstream venues showcase how plant-based alternative drinks can be part of a holistic social wellness lifestyle—and it’s only the beginning. Virginia can now legally sell hemp-derived THC drinks in bars and restaurants with a hemp license as well. Learn more about their full product line and check out where you can buy YANA drinks near you here.

Women Leading the Future of Cannabis

YANA’s success story symbolizes the perseverance of women who have navigated the cannabis industry’s challenging transition from prohibition to legitimacy. Fleishman and her team have emerged from the “gray market” era in DC after five years in the industry to now operating a fully legal, women-run cannabis dispensary. The Chief Strategy Officer of YANA Wellness Brands, Hannah Clarke, a longtime cannabis lobbyist and consultant, emphasizes the significance of their achievements: “Women are not just participating in the industry anymore—we’re building it,” Clarke says. “This is about changing perceptions, policy and the path forward for future generations of women in cannabis.”

YANA prioritizes education, research and inclusion, integrating science, advocacy and entrepreneurship opportunities for their team of young women entering the workforce. Through wellness program collaborations with clinical psychologist Dr. Vivid and university internship programs with American University and the University of Maryland, YANA Wellness offers students the rare opportunity to study the psychological effects of cannabis and mushrooms to properly sell and promote these alternative medicines to conscious consumers.

“I’ve been interested in psychology for a while, but I never imagined I’d find an internship that focuses on the psychological effects of cannabis and mushrooms, at least not so early in my career,” said Lucrezia Brody, a YANA psychology intern and student at American University. “The research we conduct isn’t just filed away—it directly informs our patients and wellness consultants to help improve our community.”

Expanding While Stimulating the Local Economy

YANA is operated by a small team of 10 women, but their strategic partnerships with local, family-owned businesses in Virginia are how YANA is scaling effectively and stimulating the local economy. Fleishman knows that the cannabis market is already dominated by MSOs (multi-state operators) in healthcare, largely owned by publicly traded companies and pharmaceutical businesses, so she has devoted herself to working with local small businesses in all parts of the supply chain.

Pure Shenandoah is a family-owned hemp manufacturing business that provides high-quality cannabis extractions, and Brothers Craft Brewery is a family-owned brewery that YANA uses for canning their drinks. “It was very important to me to stimulate the local economy that I grew up in and keep my mission of building community through plant medicine alternatives,” Fleishman states.

YANA also just signed with Specialty Beverage, a family-owned beverage distribution company known for its large-scale deliveries to mainstream businesses. This partnership increases the accessibility of hemp-derived THC beverages to reach retail locations and restaurant menus that want to provide plant-based alternatives to alcohol.

The Evolution of YANA

In 2019, Ariana Fleishman, also known as “Ari Tokes” on social media, founded YANA Wellness as Cannabis Creatives Collectives for the DC metropolitan area to connect with others through curated social experiences. As the laws changed in DC, YANA evolved into a Holistic Wellness Center and Licensed Cannabis Dispensary.

Fleishman simultaneously spent two years developing the YANA drink line while opening the retail location so she could reach people nationwide with a variety of plant-based alternative blends. Through their social media platforms, YANA continues to advocate for responsible, inclusive and research-backed cannabis culture nationwide. Stay tuned in on their social media for updates on community events, cannabis news, and the culture here.

President Donald Trump is weighing an executive order that would push the federal government to reclassify cannabis, a step that could mark the most significant shift in U.S. cannabis policy in decades—even as the White House cautions that no final decision has been made.

The deliberations, first reported late Thursday by The Washington Post, center on moving marijuana from Schedule I—the government’s most restrictive category, reserved for drugs deemed to have no accepted medical use—to Schedule III, a classification that would acknowledge medical value and loosen some federal controls. 

“This is an encouraging development and a strong indicator that comprehensive legalization is no longer a distant goal,” says Sorse Tech CEO Howard Lee.

The Post reported Trump discussed the potential policy change in a call that included House Speaker Mike Johnson and cannabis industry executives, alongside senior administration officials. Johnson voiced skepticism, the report said, while industry participants pressed the case that rescheduling would reduce barriers to research and help normalize a legal market that now operates in tension with federal law. 

In response to the news, Sasha Nutgent, VP of cannabis retail for Housing Works Cannabis Co. out of New York, tells Cannabis Now that with today’s current cannabis classification, “retailers are not incentivized to operate legally. Reclassification would change that for thousands of businesses, especially those owned by folks from communities most impacted by the War on Drugs.”

Industry and Markets Brace for Potential Policy Change

News of the possible executive order rippled quickly through financial markets early this morning. Cannabis-related stocks and exchange-traded funds jumped in premarket trading after the Post report, according to Reuters, reflecting investor optimism that a federal shift could ease access to capital and reduce tax burdens that have long squeezed state-legal operators. 

Rescheduling, however, would not legalize marijuana nationwide. Even supporters describe it as a narrower, technical move with broad downstream effects—especially for research, medical access and business operations—rather than a sweeping rewrite of prohibition-era policy. 

Gennaro Luce, founder and CEO at CannaLnx, powered by EM2P2, argues that “Rescheduling is an important and overdue shift for patient-centric healthcare, but the move to Schedule III alone isn’t enough to make medical cannabis more accessible or affordable.”

Luce says insurers still need verification, compliance and eligibility frameworks before they can treat medical cannabis like a real benefit. “That part of the system is still missing from the national conversation — fortunately, it’s the medical-cannabis system piece we’ve already built and tested alongside physicians, patients, dispensaries, POS systems and insurers.”

Legal Nuances Stall Progress

President Trump’s considerations land on well-trodden terrain. The modern push to reconsider cannabis’ federal classification accelerated under President Joe Biden, whose administration initiated a review that produced a recommendation from the Department of Health and Human Services to move cannabis to Schedule III. The Justice Department formally began the rescheduling process in 2024, opening the door to rulemaking that has since faced delays and political crosscurrents. 

Policy experts say an executive order can direct agencies and set priorities, but it cannot, by itself, rewrite the Controlled Substances Act. Any durable change to cannabis scheduling ultimately runs through federal administrative procedures led by the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration, including scientific findings, legal analysis and formal rulemaking steps. That legal nuance has become familiar to cannabis readers—and to anyone who has watched the issue ricochet between campaign promises and bureaucratic reality.

In past coverage of cannabis executive action, Cannabis Now has emphasized that the “stroke of a pen” theory often collides with the limits of federal authority, even when presidents or governors have wide latitude to shape enforcement priorities and regulatory posture. Still, the political stakes are unmistakable. A Trump-backed push to reschedule could scramble the usual partisan map on cannabis, where national Democrats have often positioned themselves as the party of reform while Republicans have been divided between states’-rights advocates and prohibition-aligned lawmakers.

The Post report suggested Trump views rescheduling as a way to “cut restrictions” without endorsing full legalization—a framing that could appeal to voters who support medical access and regulated markets but remain cautious about broader social change. 

For the cannabis industry, the practical implications of Schedule III are potentially enormous—but also uneven. Operators have argued that rescheduling could reduce certain federal tax penalties and make it easier for institutions to do business with cannabis companies.

Ryan Hunter, chief revenue officer for Colorado-based Spherex, a leader in cannabis extraction and purification, offers perspective: “Cannabis is still federally illegal—but even as a federally illegal substance, the move to Schedule III dramatically reduces the federal tax burden for operators. Under IRS code 280E, handling Schedule I or Schedule II substances eliminates the ability for operators to deduct standard operating expenses that most other businesses deduct from their federal taxes. As a result of 280E, cannabis operators’ effective tax rate may be as high as 80 pecent. Beyond this significant improvement, the implications are unclear, but we’re hopeful that this move will allow for cannabis operators to garner the same investment opportunities other industries will enjoy.”

Rescheduling’s Promise and Uncertainty

Analysts told Reuters that shifting cannabis to Schedule III could also accelerate pharmaceutical research and distribution models, even as state-legal markets continue to rely on a patchwork of rules that vary widely from one jurisdiction to another. Critics, including some in Congress, argue rescheduling risks moving faster than the science. The Post reported Johnson referenced studies he said cut against reclassification, reflecting a broader debate over how to weigh evidence of therapeutic benefits against risks of misuse and dependency. 

What happens next could hinge on timing and follow-through. An executive order, if issued, would likely instruct cabinet agencies to prioritize or expedite the administrative process rather than instantly change marijuana’s legal status. Even then, opponents could challenge the move politically and in court, while regulators would still need to align policy with existing federal statutes and international commitments.

“Whenever the White House moves forward with Schedule III, the federal government is effectively telling us that cannabis is medicine,” comments Calyx Containers President and Co-Founder Alex Gonzalez. “And if it’s medicine, ‘good enough’ cannabis practices won’t cut it anymore. Whether rescheduling happens next month or next year, the direction is clear: Cannabis is moving toward pharma-grade standards. For brands, that means tightening quality systems, investing in the ability to react or scale, and preparing for a regulatory-ready supply chain. We’re seeing the smart operators onshoring infrastructure, and we’re positioning our domestic production and business model on being ready to help operators turn this moment into a competitive advantage.”

In the meantime, the national reality on cannabis continues to diverge from federal law. Most states now allow marijuana for medical use, and a growing number permit adult-use sales—a shift that has normalized cannabis commerce for millions of Americans while leaving businesses and consumers navigating legal gray zones that are invisible at the dispensary counter but very real at banks, research institutions and federal agencies.

“Rescheduling is the single most important drug policy move in decades. The potential opportunities for medical and scientific research will significantly increase, while those living in states without an existing medical program will now have access to the powerful healing properties of the plant,” says Mark Lewis, president of specialty banking at Lüt.

“Make no mistake though, rescheduling is just the beginning for those working in the cannabis industry. Until the SAFE Banking Act or 280E is passed, operators will still have to jump through challenging financial hoops to pay their staff, bills or garner investment. The moment is historic, but until cannabis businesses can operate fiscally with the same ease as any other business, more work needs to be done,” Lewis continued. “Payments still need to work in the reality of today, where the ongoing threat of card network shutdowns exists, not just the promise of future reform. While rescheduling may open doors over time, it does not remove the day-to-day financial friction that cannabis operators face right now.”

Whether Trump ultimately signs an order or backs away, the past 24 hours have underscored a core truth of cannabis politics in Washington: Even incremental change can move markets, reshape messaging and reopen debates that Congress has struggled for years to settle.

As the mainstream acceptance of cannabis use rumbles ever forward across the globe, the time when families and friends can gather around the Christmas tree vaporizing top-shelf cannabis may not be as far off as it once seemed. Those who choose to honor their health and turn away from the mulled wines and spiked egg nog this year should not have to hide their enjoyment of our favorite flower.

That signature scent of most flowers and plants, including the pine tree propped in the living room, originates from terpenes. As master horticulturalist Ed Rosenthal explains in his Big Book of Buds series, terpenes are also the components of cannabis responsible for the different effects and odors of the many varieties of marijuana.

“Pinene is the familiar odor associated with pine trees and their resin,” Rosenthal writes in the Big Book of Buds, volume 4. “Pinene probably gives true skunk varieties, the ones that stink like an animal, much of their odor… The smoke seems to expand in your lungs and the high comes on very quickly since a high percentage of the substance will pass to the bloodstream and brain.”

Pinene, which is most dominantly found in cannabis as the compound alpha-pinene, is the terpene that has established a solid reputation for tasting and smelling like a pine tree. The following three strains are sure to bring on this unique flavor so often associated with the holiday season.

Jack Herer –  This world-renowned strain was named after and bred in honor of the legendary author and cannabis activist, Jack Herer. “Upon the first draw, you immediately begin to identify its complex flavors,” West says. “It’s almost as if you can roll the smoke over the different parts of your tongue and taste each one individually. After exhaling, you will enjoy the lingering taste of the haze and lemon cleaner. A single experience smoking this strain is all it takes to be able to confidently identify it in the future as well as recognize strains with which it has been bred.”

Super Silver Haze – This selection comes compliments of Strainhunter Franco Loja. Loja is the manager of Green House Seed Co. and says Super Sliver Haze offers the highest levels of alpha-pinene. This strain is an uplifting sativa and bursts with skunk-like notes alongside the sweet floral of its Haze parentage. Super Silver Haze is a great choice for keeping your energy going today.

Bubba Kush – This Green House Seed Co. offering is known for causing powerful sedative effects. Enjoy this strain after the company has left for the day. It’s a great solution towards ensuring the new year begins in a state of complete relaxation and reflection.

The clean palette of this American-made, 190-proof grain alcohol encourages you to unleash your creativity and concoct a range of creations in the kitchen—and beyond. Everclear can also be used for many other purposes in your home, from making your own perfume to cleaning and more.

In this article, we’ll unwrap the magic of Everclear and explore five creative uses that will transform your Christmas celebrations.

Maximize Your Recipes

Christmas is often synonymous with indulgent feasts—and Everclear can be your culinary ally in the kitchen. With its high alcohol content, Everclear is an excellent choice for extracting flavors from herbs, spices and fruits, creating vibrant extracts that elevate your recipes. Whether you’re infusing holiday cookies with a burst of citrus zest or crafting a homemade vanilla extract for your cakes and desserts, Everclear’s neutral flavor profile and exceptional extracting power make it a valuable addition to your holiday baking arsenal.

Cranberry Sauce Recipe

Ditch the canned berries for delicious, homemade cranberry sauce. In this recipe by acclaimed cannabis chef Vanessa Dora Lavorato, Everclear softens berries and captures their sweet/tart taste in this fresh take on the seasonal sauce.

Ingredients:

• 24 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
• 2 tbsp Everclear
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 orange peels, pith removed
• Juice of an orange
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions:

1. Combine cranberries, Everclear, sugar and orange peel in a bowl. Let macerate overnight.
2. In a saucepan, add macerated cranberries with orange juice and salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce thickens and cranberries pop.
3. Remove from heat and mix in pomegranate seeds.

Clean Your House for Guests

Preparing your home for holiday guests can be daunting, but Everclear is here to help. Its potent disinfectant properties can be harnessed for creating DIY cleaning solutions that leave your home sparkling and fresh. From sanitizing countertops to reviving dingy glassware, Everclear-based cleaning solutions are effective and eco-friendly, ensuring your home is a welcoming and pristine haven for your loved ones. It also helps to eliminate the smell of cannabis, too.

Create Thoughtful Gifts

The creative uses of Everclear can bring a delightful and personal touch to your Christmas presents. Consider gifting homemade liqueurs, flavored extracts or even handcrafted cocktail kits featuring your favorite Everclear-based concoctions. The pinch of effort and a sprinkling of love you’ll put into creating these thoughtful gifts will surely warm the hearts of your recipients, making the holidays feel even more special.

Everclear Odor-Fighting Spray

One of the most straightforward and efficient ways to neutralize cannabis odors is by making an Everclear spray. You’ll need a spray bottle, Everclear (preferably 190 proof) and water. Mix equal parts of Everclear and water in the spray bottle, shake it well and you have a powerful, odor-fighting solution at your disposal. Everclear will eliminate persistent cannabis scents from your home thanks to its high alcohol content, which acts as a potent deodorizing agent.

Get some inspiration here.

Produce Effective Tinctures

Tinctures have been used for centuries to extract the beneficial properties of herbs and spices—and Everclear makes the ideal base. Cannabis tinctures are traditionally made with food-grade, high-proof grain alcohol to remove terpenes and cannabinoids from the plant’s foliage. With a concentration of 95% alcohol by volume (190 proof) and 75.5% (151 proof), Everclear is one of the best choices for making tinctures. That’s because the higher the alcohol percentage, the more effectively it dissolves the plant’s compounds—resulting in a more efficacious end product. Ed Rosenthal has an easy-to-follow technique for making tinctures you can read here.

Elevate Your Cocktails

The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without a proper old-fashioned toast to good times. Everclear can be your secret weapon for crafting signature cocktails to impress your guests. From vibrant fruit punches to festive flavors, the high proof of this grain alcohol allows you to create bold libations that will add joy to your celebrations. And of course, you can always add a drop or two of your cannabis tincture if you prefer.

Holiday Highball Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ oz. Fall Flavors Infusion
• Club soda
• Slice of Red Delicious apple
• Slice of Granny Smith apple

Instructions:

1. Combine Fall Flavors Infusion and club soda in a highball glass full of ice
2. Stir briefly
3. Garnish with both apple slices

This Christmas, let Everclear be your versatile holiday helper. The creative uses are endless!

The post 5 Creative Uses for Everclear This Holiday Season appeared first on Cannabis Now.

Infused pre-rolls are shaping today’s cannabis retail market as consumers gravitate toward stronger, more flavorful options. In California, it’s reported that from December 2024 through February 2025, cannabis sales reached about $1.1 billion, with infused prerolls accounting for 66.3% of all pre-roll sales totaling $178.1 million.

This surge in demand has also exposed a major production gap. Many manufacturers still finish infused pre-rolls by hand, brushing on oil and applying kief in labor-intensive batches that slow output and introduce quality issues. AV2, a California-based engineering company, set out to solve that problem.

The company’s flagship innovation, the AV2 Roller, is the first automation system built specifically for coating and infusion in cannabis production. The AV2 Roller replaces manual finishing work with precise, repeatable automation, helping brands produce faster, cleaner and more uniform products.

Engineering Built for Cannabis

AV2 was founded with a clear purpose: to solve the operational headaches holding cannabis producers back. The founders saw manufacturers working with repurposed machinery that couldn’t keep pace with demand or compliance standards. Drawing on industrial engineering expertise, they began designing purpose-built systems that deliver the precision, reliability and scalability modern cannabis manufacturing requires.

Unlike many systems that borrow from food or pharmaceutical machinery, AV2’s equipment is designed from the ground up for cannabis. Built from industrial-grade components, the AV2 Roller handles sticky, resin-rich materials without clogging or downtime. Every function, from temperature control to coating thickness, is calibrated to how cannabis actually behaves. This is cannabis machinery in the truest sense: professional-grade, purpose-built and engineered to meet the industry’s evolving demands for consistency and scalability.

Elevating Cannabis Production

At its core, the AV2 Roller automates one of the most labor-intensive steps in the production of infused pre-roll. The system applies cannabis oil or food-safe adhesive evenly across cones, straights, or blunts, creating a perfectly uniform surface for kief or other coatings.

The entire process takes about 2.5 seconds per pre-roll, producing 4,500 – 7,000 units per hour, depending on operator and speed. By comparison, a manual finishing team might produce one-tenth of that volume. The difference is more than speed: it’s accuracy. The AV2 Roller eliminates uneven application, wasted material and batch-to-batch variability.

Key Benefits for Cannabis Manufacturers

• Labor Cost Reduction: Each AV2 Roller replaces large manual finishing crews. With just two employees per system, manufacturers can reallocate skilled staff to product development or packaging, reducing overhead and streamlining operations.

• Increased Output and Capacity: Running at high speed, the machine completes 4500 – 7,000 pre-rolls an hour (again, depending on the operator and speed), keeping production ahead of sales growth. That efficiency gives brands room to scale without expanding facilities or staff.

• Reduced Variability: Precision coating ensures each pre-roll receives the same amount of oil or adhesive. The result is improved product quality, better burn performance and fewer rejected units—key advantages in a market built on reliability.

• Infinite Scalability: With a compact footprint and accessible pricing, the AV2 Roller allows operators to expand at their own pace. Adding additional systems multiplies capacity without requiring major capital investment or facility redesign.

The machine was designed to meet the strict regulatory environment unique to cannabis manufacturing. AV2 engineered the AV2 Roller to help producers stay compliant while maintaining speed and accuracy.

AV2 approaches its work as an engineering partner, not a vendor. Each installation begins with a consultation to understand the client’s specific workflow and product mix. The company provides complete training, on-site setup and ongoing service to ensure each system continues to perform as intended.

That partnership approach reflects AV2’s philosophy: long-term collaboration over one-time sales. The goal is to build equipment that scales with a customer’s growth, whether that’s a boutique producer with a single facility or a multi-state operator managing a network of sites.

AV2 positions itself as the connection point between industrial-grade engineering and cannabis culture. The company combines the precision of advanced manufacturing with a deep respect for the craft and community that built the industry. Its machines bring global production standards to cannabis without sacrificing the creativity that defines the space.

Setting the New Standard for a Rapidly Evolving Market

The cannabis landscape is changing faster than ever. New products, new regulations and new consumer expectations are reshaping how companies produce and compete. The AV2 Roller helps manufacturers meet that change head-on. It provides the precision, reliability and throughput necessary to succeed in an increasingly professionalized market.

AV2’s message is simple: innovation is no longer optional. Brands that invest in automation built for cannabis, not just adapted from other industries, are the ones that will thrive.

The AV2 Roller proves that automation can align perfectly with cannabis culture while delivering measurable business results. For producers seeking real efficiency, scalability and a strong ROI, it’s a solution built for today and ready for what comes next.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude… and the annual tradition of keeping your cool when Uncle Arthur brings up politics before dessert. Between dodging Aunt Linda’s “helpful” remarks about your life choices and enduring your cousin’s 17-minute explanation of their job, it’s no wonder so many people approach the holiday with a mix of excitement and existential dread. But there is another way: discreet cannabis products.

Whether it’s a low-dose gummy to keep you zen while Grandma critiques your mashed potatoes or a discreet dab to make your third helping of pumpkin pie even more delicious, we could all use a little extra holiday support. And after the last election cycle, we might all need the calming effects of weed to help us deal with our families.

Every grower hates this moment. You’ve done the work in the grow, everything’s dialed, and then somewhere between the curing process and the jar being opened by the customer, the nose softens, color fades, and the scale trends the wrong way. Post-harvest is where great flower can quietly lose its edge – and with it, valuable weight and terpenes that drive aroma, potency, and price integrity.

For cannabis cultivators, this phase represents a critical and costly challenge. Without proper atmosphere control during the cure, moisture escapes, leading to overall weight loss. At the same time, volatile terpene compounds degrade quickly without the right barriers and anti-absorption technology, diminishing the final product’s flavor and entourage profile.

Drying and curing are critical and costly for cannabis cultivators. Lack of atmospheric control causes weight loss, while inadequate barriers lead to rapid terpene degradation, harming flavor and entourage.

Innovation Driven by Industry Needs

Calyx Containers, long known for its packaging innovations, built Calyx Cure to solve these problems at the source. The flat-bottom curing pouch stabilizes humidity and oxygen, resists terpene absorption, limits UV rays, and reduces static so trichomes stay on the bud instead of the bag.

The Science of a Better Cure

In partnership with the Cannabis Research Coalition, Calyx Cure was tested in a 60/60 environment without active humidification. The results were striking: Calyx Cure maintained a tighter, higher water-activity band than commodity bags, leading to better weight outcomes while retaining a higher amount of key monoterpenes like limonene compared to competitive products as well as the standard turkey bags.

That environment stability translated into practical advantages: more repeatable cures, less dry-down, and a nose that holds longer on the shelf. The study also showed a consistent, predictable relationship between moisture content and water activity under Calyx conditions – simplifying QC workflows and reducing variability.

The Nine Layers of Innovation

Each layer of the Calyx Cure pouch performs a precise role in protecting product integrity:

• Layer 9: A rugged outer shell that resists punctures and warehouse abrasion.
  
• Layer 8: UV filtration that shields cannabinoids and color like sunglasses for your flower.
  
• Layer 7: Reinforced micro-strands for puncture resistance against stems and corners.
  
• Layer 6: A dense oxygen barrier that slows oxidation and preserves potency.
  
• Layer 5: A modified-atmosphere membrane that self-balances CO₂ and O₂ for ideal cure conditions.
  
• Layer 4: Moisture-control tech that keeps humidity in the sweet spot – no extra packs required.
  
• Layer 3: Terpene-lock barrier that prevents aromatic oils from escaping during storage or transit.
  
• Layer 2: Anti-static discharge protection that keeps trichomes on the flower, not stuck to the film.
  
• Layer 1: Food-safe contact layer that’s non-leaching, neutral, and taste-free.
  

Together, these layers form a self-regulating microclimate that protects your crop through every stage of post-harvest handling.

Results That Show Up Where It Matters

Operators notice the benefits immediately. Weight stays closer to target, aroma carries from seal to sale, maintaining terp-forward character and supporting premium pricing for the maximum amount of product. The pouch stands open for quick loading, resists pallet rub, and locks out odor and light – built for real cultivation environments, not just lab conditions.

Economics That Add Up

The math is simple: retain more weight in cure, have more weight to sell. Even a 2–3% improvement in retained moisture multiplied by your wholesale dollars per gram can translate into significant annual gains. Add the value of terpene retention and longer shelf life, and Calyx Cure often pays for itself within just a few turns.

Your Partner in Cultivation

As markets tighten and regulations shift, the clearest lever for success remains the flower itself – and how it finishes. The last container a bud touches can protect that finish or erode it. Calyx Cure is built to protect it – turning a vulnerable post-harvest phase into a controlled, repeatable advantage.

The Business of Cannabis: New York Summit took place earlier this month on November 6 at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, New York. The crowd was composed of dispensary owners, growers, legal experts, marketing professionals, educators and brand leaders. The historic brick-walled space overlooking the East River was filled with conversation, cautious optimism, and shared curiosity about what the next chapter of New York’s legal cannabis market might bring.

The energy in the room was shaped by the industry’s complex moment. New York’s cannabis market has expanded rapidly since legalization, but the state’s industry has also been confronted with major challenges, including delayed licensing and confusion within the Office of Cannabis Management. For many entrepreneurs and advocates who gathered at the summit, the recent election of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was viewed as the biggest variable in what might come next.

The Cannabis-Friendly Mayor

During a candidate debate, Mamdani was asked, “Have you ever purchased anything in a cannabis shop, and what did you buy?”

“I have, I have purchased marijuana at a legal cannabis shop,” Mamdani replied with a chuckle.

Laughter was heard from the audience at the debate, but the comment was received differently within the cannabis industry. Mamdani’s admission was regarded as more than a humorous moment; it was seen as a rare display of candor by an elected official when addressing cannabis. His words were quickly circulated across industry circles and social media feeds, prompting discussions about the type of administration he might lead and how open he might be to engaging with those who have built the city’s legal market from the ground up.

In the days following the election, curiosity was replaced by a mix of excitement and anxiety. Operators, brand founders and policy advocates questioned whether the new mayor might signal a more collaborative approach to regulation and enforcement.

The Mamdani Effect

When Mamdani’s potential impact on the New York market was discussed, CuraLeaf’s executive vice president and regional leader Robert Sciarrone offered his view. “It’s too early to tell in New York, to see what the new mayor is going to do here,” Sciarrone said. “I’m just happy to hear that he visited a shop in New York during the debates.”

Sciarrone’s remarks were met with nods and agreement from attendees. For many, the comment served as a reminder that even small signs of understanding from elected officials carry importance. A mayor who has stepped inside a licensed cannabis store, observed its operations, and spoken with its staff may have developed a deeper appreciation for the work behind compliance and community impact.

Rather than focusing on uncertainty, Sciarrone encouraged the community to take initiative and advocate whenever possible. “Like any regime change, everybody is on a menu for a hot topic for them to bite down on. It’s our responsibility as operators in the state to get out in front of it and have conversations with Mamdani and make sure he understands that we are fighting for our business. All we can do is hope he listens. I can’t predict what’s going to happen, but all I know is we have to talk about it or else…we’re on a menu. We’ve to get out there with urgency and have a good conversation.”

Taking Action

His call to action was echoed throughout the event. In smaller breakout sessions and hallway discussions, strategies were developed. Some participants concentrated on job creation, SKU analysis and tax revenue, while others discussed strategies for engagement with the Office of Cannabis Management. Many operators spoke about the need to humanize their stories so that the mayor and his team could better understand that behind every dispensary counter and cultivation license are individuals building legitimate businesses after years of prohibition. Above all, concern was expressed about the hemp market and the impact of illegal markets on cannabis. The event took place just days ahead of President Trump’s signing of the new federal budget bill, which bans hemp-derived THC and will surely bring additional challenges for those working in the hemp consumables space.

The Wythe’s atmosphere was described as a crossroads between celebration and vigilance. Attendees congratulated one another for surviving the turbulence of recent years but repeatedly returned to a shared theme: the urgent need for city and state cannabis operators in New York to form a cohesive coalition. The absence of such a coalition within the state was described as one of the most harmful issues facing the market today, hindering collaboration and collective political negotiation. A sense prevailed that New York’s cannabis market might either fragment or flourish depending on its engagement with new political leadership.

Collaboration Between Competitors

As the day concluded, sunlight streamed through the tall industrial windows, and attention shifted toward next steps. Contact information was exchanged, working groups were organized, and commitments were made to attend future events such as the upcoming MJBizCon in Las Vegas.

For those in attendance of the Business of Cannabis event, the takeaway was clear: New York’s cannabis industry cannot wait for clarity from above. Messaging must be created that both challenges and educates. The future of the market will depend not only on new regulations, but also on relationships, persistence and the willingness to continue discussions even when outcomes remain uncertain.

Even though the American cannabis industry became a multi-billion-dollar industry years ago, a decent number of insurance companies are still hesitant to work with cannabis businesses. Whether it’s due to the federally prohibited status surrounding cannabis or certain internal policies among the larger insurance providers that dictate which risks will be insured, the process of finding a quality and reliable insurance provider for licensed cannabis businesses can be quite arduous.   

Especially with the multimillion-dollar cultivation and manufacturing operation setups and subsequent wholesale transactions that are equally lucrative and costly, having dedicated and thorough insurance policies in place is now beyond necessity.       

Luckily for those cannabis businesses, Guardians of Ganja is a top-tier insurance agency with a memorable name whose operations and robust policies are created and tailored specifically to the very necessary and precise requirements of those cannabis businesses.   

“One of the best things about cannabis is its ability to free your mind from the constraints of life,” says Jason Ascheman, co-owner of the agency solely focused on the cannabis industry. “After some research, we found the industry was grossly underserved. Guardians of Ganja started with the desire to find something no one else was doing, something that was equally unique, challenging and something that we wholeheartedly believe in.” 

The agency’s primary location of Billings, Montana, is certainly a preferable one from both a cannabis and agricultural standpoint. The state legalized adult-use cannabis back in 2020 (for a second time) and has had a vibrant adult-use market for well over 3 years, surpassing $1 billion in total sales at the end of 2024. Similarly, the state’s agricultural industry is nothing short of massive, being a major producer of cattle and several varieties of wheat.   

A Specialty Cannabis Insurance Company 

Prior to entering the insurance industry, Guardians of Ganja’s second co-owner, Dalton Knutson, held a variety of interesting and honorable positions, including everything from selling solar panels to bravely serving as a firefighter. Unfortunately, his diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease from his childhood worsened, and after major surgery, he had to resign from his role as a firefighter.    

“But it was after this that my belief in cannabis became stronger, the more I experimented with different treatment methods,” Knutson says. “It became something I wholeheartedly believed in and supported.” 

Knutson soon teamed up with Ascheman, who has over 8 years of experience in the insurance industry. While they both share a passion for the plant, Ascheman’s hands-on insurance experience combined with Knutson’s entrepreneurial and service-oriented nature gave them an edge. “We both realized the market was underserved,” Knutson explains, expressing how they truly have a desire to help cannabis-related companies protect what they have built.  

With the clever tagline of “Covering Your Grass for a Greener Tomorrow”, the services offered by Guardians of Ganja include policies that have been uniquely designed for every different plant-touching sector of the cannabis industry, along with ancillary businesses—everything from cultivation to manufacturing to retail to vital testing labs, even Lessors Risk policies for landlords with cannabis exposures. From the intricacies and detailed coverage options provided by their policies, it’s clear that the team at Guardians of Ganja has several years of experience working directly in this nascent yet heavily regulated industry. 

With liability coverages alone, so many common circumstances and situations that arise in compliant cannabis operations would be insured. A full spectrum of services is offered, from general liability to product liability and the very crucial professional liability.  

What’s Covered by Guardians of Ganja 

Some other very worthwhile sectors of successful cannabis operations covered through Guardian of Ganja’s policies are product deliveries of all varieties, as well as the transportation vehicles themselves. All types of deliveries, from individual home deliveries to large-scale deliveries, from cultivation facilities to dispensaries. Given how heavily monitored and documented every single cannabis delivery is via platforms like METRC by state regulators, regardless of size, the Guardians of Ganja team ensures that every element of the delivery process is diligently insured is of utmost importance.     

Even crop insurance—a vital safeguard that protects farmers’ investments from unexpected disasters—is available through Guardians of Ganja. Every single stage in the cultivation process is covered, from vegetation and harvest to the pivotal drying and curing stages.     

“We pride ourselves in creating personal connections and relationships with our clients to not only be their agent, but a trusted confidant and partner that has their best interest at heart,” Knutson says with pride.  

As the American cannabis industry evolves and expands at a more rapid pace than just about any other industry, the experienced team at Guardians of Ganja is committed to staying up to date on all those constant changes.   

“Along with this, we are continuously educating ourselves on the intricacies of the industry to ensure our recommendations are well-informed and knowledge-based. It’s our belief that putting the needs of the clients over anything else is always a win in the end,” Knutson explains. “To sum things up, GOG means so much more than just insurance. It’s real people with real experiences with cannabis that want to genuinely make a difference both personally and business-wise.”

UFC heavyweight contender Curtis “Razor” Blaydes is a major player in the world of mixed martial arts. He’s what you get when you combine the raw strength of an athlete with the strategy of a chess player. Blaydes is recognized across the sport for his formidable wrestling and explosive takedowns. As he navigates the intense physical demands and injury risks inherent in elite MMA, Blaydes is finding that recovery isn’t just about taking a break, it’s also a secret weapon that combats the risk of injury, enhances performance, and increases the potential for overall athletic progress.

Strategic Approaches to Cannabis Recovery

In his quest for the Holy Grail of peak performance and career longevity, Blaydes is pioneering state-of-the-art recovery methods through continuous improvement and a disciplined post-training regimen. Blaydes is not alone. Performance-tuning the recovery process is now an essential component of wellness as athletes balance healing, pain management, and stress reduction. The cornerstone of Blaydes’ recovery program is the AirVape Legacy PRO 2, a bespoke combustion-free experience that transforms the therapeutic benefits of cannabis.

“I’m always looking for ways to recover smarter,” Blaydes says. “The AirVape Legacy PRO 2 is clean, fast, and helps me wind down the right way.”

According to AirVape co-owner Gary Szilagyi, “what sealed the [partnership] was the shared philosophy: we both believe cannabis can be used intentionally for recovery, mental clarity, and focus, not just recreation. It felt like a natural fit: his discipline and story amplified our vision, and our technology elevated his routine.”

The Legacy PRO 2 is AirVape’s next evolution of their original award-winning Legacy PRO dry herb vaporizer. And the love for this device runs deep. As AirVape’s first user-centered upgrade, it reflects direct input from the brand’s dedicated following—a community that’s helped cement its place among the top names in vaporization. As the company website states, they’re “taking everything users loved about the original Legacy Pro and enhancing it with smarter design, refined aesthetics, and user-driven upgrades.”

If you, like Blaydes, are interested in joining the AirVape community and utilizing cannabis as part of your health and wellness routine, then you’ve found the right company. Their entire ethos is centered on promoting wellness through innovation. Founder Roland Szegi, a former athlete, envisioned transforming the portable vaporizer landscape. In the sequel to the original AirVape Legacy, he released a device that captured high performance, elegance, and mindfulness.

Setting a New Gold Standard

The AirVape Legacy PRO 2 is a sleek, ergonomic device that fits naturally in the palm of your hand. Designed for modern wellness seekers, it’s the cornerstone of a discreet ritual—an elegant piece of technology that hides in plain sight while subtly masking the aroma of the herbs within.

Wrapped in hand-applied cork fabric with 24k gold flakes over a gunmetal frame, the vape balances modern design with artisanal detail—no two devices are exactly alike. The gold freckles upon the cork detailing are an homage to AirVape’s dedication to quality materials that produce a session’s luxury experience. Engraved into the leather is its name, bordered with delicate stitching.

While the cork is aesthetically pleasing, it also functions to insulate the device’s heat and to maintain temperature precision. While the top vaporization devices on the market are quick to heat up within 30-40 seconds, the Legacy PRO 2 heats up in just 15 seconds. The hybrid heating methodology, gold-plated filters, detailing, and the glass airpath level up the original Legacy design. By integrating both conduction and convection, the device achieves true hybrid heating—a rare innovation that sets it apart from competitors.

Blaydes had already been using vaporizers as part of his recovery routine, but when he tried the Legacy Pro, he immediately appreciated the design, build quality, and clean vapor experience. The glass is also easy to maintain, with a replaceable battery to enhance the lifespan of the device. The user’s ability to precisely adjust the temperature puts control back into the user’s hands to achieve efficient and even heating of the chamber. You can modify the temperature per strain and terpene profile for the best flavor and extend session time through temperature modulation.

Unparalleled Functionality

AirVape stood out to Blaydes because of his open advocacy for innovative, cleaner recovery methods. That innovation, The Legacy PRO 2, arrives assembled and ready to charge with a universally compatible USB-C port. To turn the device on, click the button three times. The device either times down or shuts down with clicking the button three times. This Legacy PRO 2 provides a visual display that is used to turn the temperature up and down, adjust session length, gauge battery life, and to say goodbye with a “ciao ” and a smile when turned off.

This dual-use vape can hold flower or concentrate, adding convenience to a busy lifestyle. The gold-plated chamber isn’t just for looks— the chamber is interchangeable and easy to replace. It is an innovation on traditional heating devices with gold, a metal that’s traditionally been in medical devices, thanks to its stable characteristics. We’re impressed by how AirVape seamlessly blends form and function to create a device that isn’t just aesthetically pleasing but effective at what it’s designed to do.

The Legacy PRO 2 also comes with two important accessories. First, there’s a loading tool that presses flower from the grinder into a compact puck that’s easy to take in and out of the device, making cleanup easy. Secondly, there’s a glass piece, reminiscent of the top of a water pipe, that helps with cooling the vapor further when playing with higher temperatures and wax. It’s easier to customize and pursue hybrid sessions by incorporating flower and sugar at the same time. The device’s innovations are born from real challenges compiled from AirVape’s dedicated fan base, making this the clean and innovative design Blaydes relies on.

Rethinking The Recovery Paradigm

Together, Blaydes and Air Vape are pushing cannabis and sports with their willingness to educate other athletes about alternatives to traditional painkillers. “What’s really striking is how authentic [Blades’] involvement is,” describes Szilagyi. “He’s not just endorsing a product; he’s sharing his own recovery journey.” Blaydes is championing the paradigm shift in athletic recovery. Acceptance of cannabis in sport is growing as regulations around flower use continue to vary.

Vaporization devices like the AirVape PRO 2 play a vital role in supporting athletic wellness and performance. They offer an opportunity for all of us to channel our inner Blaydes as we strive for peak potential.

The explosive growth of the infused food and beverage market is proof that the cannabis industry is evolving beyond traditional consumption methods. But creating a great-tasting, reliable cannabis beverage in what’s becoming a competitive category can be a complex challenge. How do you ensure that every single sip delivers the exact same experience, with a predictable onset and a pleasant, consistent flavor? It’s a complex puzzle that few have managed to solve, but it’s one that Sōrse Technology has built its reputation on mastering.

As a leading hemp and terpene emulsion formulator, supplier and compliance lab, Sōrse is the secret ingredient behind some of the most popular cannabis drinks on the market today. They partner with food, beverage and topical manufacturers to take the guesswork out of product development, ensuring scientifically stable infusions that stand the test of time.

The Spark of an Idea

Sōrse Technology’s journey began with a simple desire: to make the edible and drinking cannabis experience better and safer. The founders were frustrated with inconsistent dosing and unreliable results that left consumers wondering when—or if—the effects would kick in. They wanted to create a product with near-perfect dosing and a reliable “off ramp” so people could enjoy a predictable experience without any unwanted surprises.

The “a-ha” moment came with their first product, Happy Apple, a great-tasting beverage that delivered a reliable experience and quickly became the best-selling beverage in Washington State. The team realized that the combination of creating a stable cannabis emulsion as well as a great taste was no small feat. Those two things combined were the secret sauce, a revelation that led them to focus their business on selling their proprietary Sōrse emulsion and leaning into the food science aspect of the industry.

A World-Class Team Behind Every Sip

Sōrse is more than an ingredient provider; they’re a full-scale production partner. Their team is made up of food scientists, CPG specialists and researchers from around the globe with over 200 years of combined experience. This deep bench of expertise includes some of the most respected names in the industry: Chief Science Officer Scott Riefler, a chemist with four decades of experience, and EVP of Research Michael Flemmens, whose work includes a patented cancer treatment and an FDA-approved drug filing.

It’s this depth of in-house expertise that sets Sōrse apart. Their labs don’t just formulate ingredients—they run taste tests and long-term studies on the finished product, testing stability over an entire year and across a range of temperatures. The result is a level of reliability and quality that most competitors can’t match.

This extra level of care and commitment helps brands deliver products that consumers can trust—accurately dosed and safe to enjoy. As Sōrse puts it, their mission is simple: The dose on the can should be the dose the consumer actually experiences. Through comprehensive testing, they ensure the final product remains stable over time, so every sip faithfully matches what the label promises, even as much as a year later.

It’s this technology that enables major brands like CANN, Wynk, and a major American brewery to create wildly popular low-dose beverages. In fact, four of the top ten beverages on Cannabis Now’s list of best summer THC drinks are powered by Sōrse. But what truly sets the company apart is its focus on the science of taste. Many labs can emulsify Delta-9 beverages, but it takes a true food science specialist to engineer one that actually tastes good.

Partner with Sōrse for Consistent Cannabis Beverages

For large national and international beverage brands, the ability to create a consistent, scalable and delicious infused product is a game-changer. Sōrse helps these brands future-proof their products and scale production with ease. They even offer a mobile run production unit, which supports production at any licensed facility by converting a raw ingredient into a custom emulsion on-site. This commitment to comprehensive service positions Sōrse not just as a supplier, but as a true partner in bringing innovative beverages to life.

Whether it’s a water-soluble Hemp THC or a full-blown cannabis product, Sōrse’s lab and expertise ensure consistency and compliance. In a market where a product’s potency can be affected by everything from ingredients to packaging, they provide the testing and the knowledge to prove a product’s stability over time. For brands looking to enter the cannabis space or expand their current offerings, the choice is clear. The single most important takeaway from Sōrse is this: If you want to create a beverage or product where every sip matches the label on the can, get powered by SōRSE and partner with them for your cannabis emulsions and lab-backed data. With Sōrse powering your product, you can deliver a functional, delicious and reliable experience while focusing on what you do best—creating tasty experiences that consumers truly love.

The world of cannabis seeds has transformed faster in the last decade than in the previous century. What began as an unpredictable plant found in remote valleys is now a precision-engineered product bred for potency, flavor and climate resilience. In 2025, growers are seeing the most advanced genetics yet, with brands like Hypno Seeds leading the charge toward smarter, stronger and faster-flowering plants. Understanding how we arrived at this point helps predict what the next generation of cannabis seeds will look like.

From Landrace Roots to Designer Genetics

Early cannabis cultivation relied on landrace varieties. Afghani, Thai, and Colombian Gold each adapted to its native environment. These strains carried unique aromas and effects, but they were unstable. Growers had to navigate unpredictable male-to-female ratios, lengthy flowering times and inconsistent yields.

Then came hybridization. Breeders began crossing regional strains to create new profiles with higher THC levels and shorter cycles. This was the first leap toward modern cannabis seeds—seeds bred with purpose rather than chance.

Feminized Seeds: Ending the Guesswork

The early 2000s marked a turning point with the introduction of feminized seeds. Instead of gambling on which plants would produce flowers, growers could finally plant with confidence. Feminization ensured nearly all plants were female, saving space, nutrients and time.

Today, high-quality feminized genetics are stable, potent and rich in terpenes. They represent a balance of efficiency and craftsmanship that appeals to both hobbyists and large-scale cultivators. Feminized seeds have become the global standard for reliable harvests.

Autoflower Seeds: The Speed Revolution

Next came another major breakthrough: autoflower seeds. Derived from the resilient Cannabis ruderalis species, autoflowers flip the traditional photoperiod rule—they bloom automatically after a set number of weeks, regardless of light cycles.

For growers seeking quick, stealthy, or multiple annual harvests, autoflowers were game changers. Early generations sacrificed potency for speed, but that era is long gone. Modern autoflowers, such as those from Hypno Seeds, regularly reach 25–30% THC and match the flavor and resin output of top photoperiods.

Autoflower genetics have made cultivation accessible to everyone, turning balconies and backyards into micro-grow rooms.

The Evolution of Cannabis Strains: 1980–2026

To appreciate how far cannabis breeding has come, and where it’s heading, here’s a snapshot of its evolution.

Era	Typical Genetics	THC Range	Growth Cycle	Breeding Focus	Example Strain
1980s–1990s	Landraces, early hybrids	5–15 %	14–16 weeks	Outdoor stability, survival	Northern Lights
2000s	Early feminized × photoperiod hybrids	15–20 %	10–12 weeks	Flavor + yield	White Widow
2010s	Rise of autoflowers and U.S. hybrids	18–25 %	8–10 weeks	Indoor performance	Amnesia Haze Auto
2020–2025	Modern polyhybrids / boutique crosses	25–35 %	8–9 weeks	Potency + terpene depth	Glitter Bomb
Predicted 2026	Climate-adaptive genetics	30–38 %	7–8 weeks	Smart breeding & resilience	Next-gen Genomics line

The table shows how cannabis evolved from rustic genetics to laboratory precision. By 2026, breeders will likely focus on AI-assisted selection, climate-tuned plants, and hyper-stable terpene expression, a clear reflection of how fast the science is moving.

2026 Predictions: Smart Seeds and Functional Terpenes

The next wave of innovation won’t just chase higher THC; it will optimize entire plant systems. Breeders are already experimenting with data-driven selection and predictive modeling to create genetics that adapt to temperature swings, water scarcity and nutrient variability.

Expect to see “smart seeds” with digital lineage tracking and traits chosen for regional performance: cool-climate phenotypes for northern growers, heat-resistant cultivars for southern states.

Terpenes will also take center stage. Instead of breeding only for taste, 2026 strains may be tuned for purpose: uplifting limonene profiles for focus, or myrcene-dominant hybrids for deep rest.

Modern Icons: The Rise of Glitter Bomb

Few strains capture the spirit of this new era like Glitter Bomb seeds. This powerhouse combines exotic parentage with 30% THC potential and dazzling resin production—proof that art and science can coexist in a single plant. Its shimmering trichome coverage, explosive aroma and balanced effects mark a pinnacle of modern breeding.

For breeders such as Hypno Seeds, strains like Glitter Bomb aren’t just products. Rather, they’re milestones in an ongoing evolution toward perfection.

The Takeaway

Cannabis breeding has moved from mystery to mastery. Landrace strains laid the foundation; feminized seeds brought control; and autoflowers brought speed. Now, a new generation of smart, data-driven genetics is redefining what’s possible.

For growers, the message is simple: Understanding the past gives you the power to choose your future harvest. The evolution of cannabis seeds isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating—and 2026 may be the most innovative year yet.

Led by former Benzinga executives, the exclusive IgniteIt cannabis conference is a new kind of cannabis networking event. At its core, IgniteIt is a media and events platform built around emerging markets for investors, executives, advocates and enthusiasts in the cannabis space.

The most recent IgniteIt conference took place earlier this month in Anaheim, California, on Oct. 8 at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove. The Anaheim gathering is considered one of IgniteIt’s “Spotlight” events, where according to IgniteIt CEO Patrick Lane, “We have the capacity to be granularly focused on topics and partnership opportunities specific to a given market, i.e. California.”

The California Market Spotlight was IgniteIt’s third event in SoCal in the last two years, and according to Lane, it was the largest and most strategic to date. “I’ve collected feedback from many of our attendees on how hard-hitting and real our agenda topics were and how valuable the networking ended up being for deals that have already closed as a result of meetings at our conference.”

The single-day format prioritized substance over fluff, allowing attendees to focus on meaningful sessions and connections without any wasted time. Together, these elements made for an efficient, engaging and highly valuable conference experience, leaving participants with both actionable insights and new relationships to carry forward.

“By focusing primarily on bringing leaders and decisionmakers from the major players into the room, my conversations were uniquely impactful—I gained insights, strategies and connections with those who are running their businesses every day,” said Embarc CEO Lauren Carpenter, who spoke at the conference and sits on the Regional Advisory Board. “This event was the perfect size; it was diverse in bringing new voices to the table while simultaneously curated enough to ensure conversations were productive and targeted.”

Guests gathered across two main rooms: one designed for panels and presentations, the other for activations and brand showcases. The registration hall buzzed with conversation over coffee and lunch, while an outdoor patio offered a more casual space to connect. The event fostered a professional but approachable atmosphere that sparked high-value connections.

“The IgniteIt California Spotlight brought together key stakeholders across government and supply chain participants who genuinely care about the industry,” said Green Horizon’s Co-Founder and CEO Carlos “Los” Arias. “Kudos to Elliot and Patrick for putting in the work & making it happen.” 

A Dual Focus on Education and Networking

Beyond meaningful handshakes, IgniteIt placed a strong emphasis on delivering education curated for its attendees. The Anaheim conference was tailored to California’s unique market, featuring sessions that addressed the state’s regulatory hurdles and offered practical guidance for navigating them. Experts also shared insights on how federal rescheduling could impact California businesses.

Angela Pih served as the moderator for a speaking panel called “Rooted and Rising: How You Can Expand Beyond California While Thriving at Home.” Pih spoke to the significance of the California cannabis market: “California remains the heartbeat of cannabis culture and brand innovation. Brands like Bloom, Jetty, Stiiizy, and MADE have shown how to thrive in California’s discerning market before expanding into new states. Their ability to translate authentic California origins into multi-state success proves that strong brand DNA travels. What starts in California often sets the tone for the rest of the U.S. market.”

Several team members from Grow Generation attended, with Jason Holland, GrowGen’s Vice President of Product Innovation & Commercial Solutions, participating in a panel discussion titled “Efficiency Equals Survival: How You Can Increase Yield and Stay Lean in a Compressed Cannabis Economy.”

“Ignite It was one of the most authentic gatherings in the industry. Being LA-focused made it even more relevant—bringing together the heart of West Coast cultivation, culture, and innovation,” said Michael Salaman, president of GrowGeneration. “It sparked real conversations around cultivation innovation and how we scale this industry the right way.”

Darren Lampert, Grow Generation’s CEO & co-founder added, “What made Ignite It stand out was the quality of operators, investors and thought leaders—all focused on execution, not hype. This conference is essential for serious cannabis businesses.”

Attendees left the event with both actionable insights and new industry connections, reflecting IgniteIt’s dual focus on education and networking. With a format that balanced expert-led sessions, interactive activations and opportunities for meaningful conversation, the conference demonstrated how a single day can deliver both knowledge and relationships that drive the California cannabis market forward.

“The IgniteIt team did a great job curating a thoughtful event targeted at providing tangible value for operators and those who work alongside them,” Carpenter from Embarc added. “The discussions were operational, not aspirational, which is exactly the type of insights we all need as we continue to weather the storms of this market together.”

There’s nothing quite like growing your own cannabis at home. Watching a tiny seed turn into a beautiful, potent plant that twinkles with trichomes, smelling those first terpenes, knowing you did it all yourself, is unmatched. But for many people, the dream of growing at home hits a brick wall before they even get started. It’s easy to feel like you’ll mess it up and lose a bunch of time and cash. Thankfully, I Love Growing Marijuana (ILGM) is here to help ensure that doesn’t happen. 

A Dutch cannabis seed company operating exclusively in the US market, ILGM was built on a simple, powerful belief: Anyone can grow their own cannabis.

They are dedicated to providing not only top-tier seeds, but also the expert knowledge and a foolproof safety net you can count on. Expect success at every step of your journey.

From a Simple Blog to a Thriving Community

The company’s story started with its founder, Robert Bergman, a Dutch grower who genuinely loved the plant but was tired of the misinformation around it. So, he started a low-key blog to share what he knew so everyone could grow weed at home. He wanted to pull back the curtain on cultivation and show that it wasn’t some big secret for a few pros. His straightforward approach resonated with the canna-curious and amateur cultivators around the world.

“Getting started can feel like the hardest part,” says ILGM CEO Ernst Rustenhoven. “But if you have a knowledgeable friend who guides you through it, that big hurdle turns into a small step. We are that friend.”

That blog turned into a buzzing community. Growers would jump into the comments to ask questions, share tips and celebrate their wins. It was a true collaboration built on trust and a shared love for growing. That’s what eventually led to the launch of a trusted seedbank.

The seedbank is a huge part of ILGM’s DNA—the belief that the best weed is the one you grew yourself and the best way to do that is with a solid community behind you. It’s this grower-first mindset, mixed with a deep understanding of what US home growers actually need, that gives them their edge.

Top-Shelf Seeds, All The Way To Harvest

The heart of ILGM lies in its genetics, as showcased in their cannabis seed bank. All the cultivars that are carefully selected because they’re easy to grow, tough and have killer terpene profiles. ILGM has done the homework for you, so you can pick a strain that’s a perfect fit for your location.

ILGM also does limited drops from some of the best craft breeders in the country. With every single strain, you get the whole backstory—the breeding intent and the best way to grow it.

But a great cannabis seed is just the start. To really succeed, you need to know what you’re doing. That’s why ILGM has built the industry’s best educational support. Every strain comes with a detailed, step-by-step grow guide. It’s like having a cheat sheet for everything from planting to watering to fertilizing.

And if you ever hit a roadblock, the free ILGM Grow Guide Library is a goldmine. It’s packed with expert-written content on everything from spotting pests to mastering advanced techniques. It’s a resource the company is proud of because it shows they’re in this with you, from the first day to the last.

“Learning to grow cannabis, like everything else, begins with the basics,” Rustenhoven says. “Our grow guides are designed to take you through each stage, from your first grow to advanced techniques, one step at a time.”

The Germination Guarantee: Your Safety Net

One of the biggest anxieties for a new grower is a seed that won’t sprout. It can stop a grow journey before it even gets going. That’s why ILGM created its Germination Guarantee. It’s pretty simple: If your seeds don’t pop, the company will send you new ones, no questions asked. This is a game-changer. It takes the fear of failure off the table and lets you start your grow with a ton of confidence. It’s one of the few truly grower-friendly return policies you’ll find in this business, and it’s ILGM’s way of proving they’ve got your back.

The customer support team is legendary for a reason, too. They’re not just some call center reps; they’re real growers who get it. They offer genuine advice and help, not canned responses.
