Oregon marijuana companies are asking a federal appeals court to uphold a lower court ruling that blocked Measure 119, a voter-approved law requiring licensed cannabis businesses to enter labor peace agreements and maintain neutrality on unionization. The district court found the law unconstitutional, violating the First Amendment and being preempted by the federal National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), a ruling the state of Oregon is currently challenging. < Back Oregon Cannabis Businesses Ask Court to Uphold Block on Voter-Approved Labor Law Dec 9, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Oregon cannabis companies are fighting to keep a voter-approved labor law off the books, and the battle has now reached the federal appeals court. At the center of the dispute is Measure 119, which would force licensed pot shops and growers to sign "labor peace agreements" and stay neutral when workers talk about unionizing. A lower court previously canned the law, ruling it violated the First Amendment and conflicted with federal labor rules. Now, businesses like Bubble’s Hash and Ascend Dispensary are urging the Ninth Circuit to uphold that win, arguing that being forced to stay silent on union matters is a breach of their free speech rights. For the everyday toker, this might seem like a corporate squabble, but it’s actually a sign of the industry’s growing pains. While union support can lead to better working conditions and more consistent product quality, these legal hurdles show just how complicated the "legal" market remains while federal prohibition still looms. Keeping the industry stable and legally sound is key to ensuring we all have continued, reliable access to the flower we love. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

On one side, the White House drug office just added a physician known for her anti-cannabis stance, which is a bit of a buzzkill for those hoping for a smooth rescheduling process. On the other, the U.S. Senate is moving forward with a new DEA head who, despite some reservations, says he’ll make reviewing marijuana’s status a top priority. Plus, there’s some heartening news for veterans: a Senate committee is pushing the VA to study how medical herb could help cut back on opioid use. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania is cranking up the pressure to join the legal club, and North Dakota is officially welcoming medical edibles this August. For the average toker, this mix of news shows that while we still have some old-school hurdles in D.C., the momentum in the states and the growing focus on medical benefits are hard to stop. Staying informed is key because these political shifts eventually dictate what we can buy and how safely we can enjoy it. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

ASTM International is developing a new standard (WK95556) to accurately determine the percent moisture in cannabis flower, aiming for harmonization across states. This is crucial because current methods for moisture determination vary widely, impacting the accuracy of cannabinoid and terpene percentages on product labels. The proposed standard is intended for use by testing laboratories and for implementation by state regulatory bodies. < Back Proposed ASTM Standard Aims to Establish Consistent Moisture Testing for Cannabis Flower Sep 24, 2025 Source: Mg Magazine Newswire MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *W. CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.* — ASTM International is developing a proposed standard (WK95556) that aims to identify an accurate technique to determine percent moisture in cannabis flower, harmonization across and between states for moisture determination. WK95556 is being developed by the laboratory subcommittee (D37.03), part of ASTM’s cannabis committee (D37). According to ASTM member Morgan Keefer, for cannabis flower products, the label often reflects a moisture conversion [dry weight percentage] which means that all the numbers on the label are heavily impacted by how much water was in the flower. “The issue with this is there is no standard method for determining how much water is in the flower (which is a basic method) so the methods that are being used for this are all over the place and even the results are all over the place,” says Keefer, senior accreditation officer at A2LA. “Some laboratories may dry in an oven, they may use very hot oven temperatures which evaporate more than just the water weight, they then count the whole difference in weight before and after the oven as ‘water weight’ and perform the conversion which, if done in this way, would guarantee that all of the cannabinoid and terpene percentages increase across the board.” The proposed standard is intended for use by testing laboratories; to be implemented as a required method by state regulatory bodies; and to be added to scopes of accreditation. About ASTM International ASTM International is a not-for-profit nongovernmental organization that develops voluntary consensus standards and defers to appropriate government authorities to determine the legal and regulatory framework regarding the control and use of cannabis. Over 12,000 ASTM standards operate globally. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging Customs and Border Protection's seizures of state-legal cannabis. In Virginia, bills to legalize recreational sales, provide resentencing relief, and allow medical use in hospitals advanced. Meanwhile, Hawaii's marijuana legalization efforts stalled for the session, South Dakota rejected bills to repeal the medical cannabis program, and Wisconsin lawmakers are circulating a bill for decriminalization. < Back Federal Court Dismisses Cannabis Businesses’ Lawsuit Feb 12, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The cannabis legal landscape is shifting fast, with Virginia taking center stage as lawmakers push forward bills for recreational sales and much-needed resentencing relief. It’s a massive win for the community to see progress on correcting past wrongs while building a legal market. Even better, both Virginia and Washington are advancing measures to allow medical cannabis use within hospitals, ensuring patients don't lose access to their medicine when they need it most. While things hit a snag in Hawaii with legalization efforts stalling, other states are holding the line; South Dakota rejected attempts to gut their medical program, and Wisconsin is eyeing decriminalization. On the federal side, a judge unfortunately tossed a lawsuit against CBP over cannabis seizures, reminding us that the federal-state divide remains a headache for businesses. For the average toker, these updates are a mixed bag but mostly hopeful. Seeing hospitals acknowledge cannabis as legitimate medicine is a huge cultural shift toward accessibility. While federal hurdles remain, the momentum in state houses shows that the community’s voice for fair access and social justice is finally being heard. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

9 In 10 Americans Support Legalizing Marijuana In Some Form, Including Bipartisan Majorities, Pew Poll Shows < Back 9 in 10 Americans Support Cannabis Legalization Jul 8, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The latest data from Pew Research Center confirms what we’ve felt at the grassroots level for years: the era of prohibition is effectively over in the minds of the American people. A staggering 87% of adults now believe cannabis should be legal in some capacity. Digging into the numbers, 54% support full adult-use and medical access, while another 33% back a medical-only approach. Even more impressive is that this support cuts across all demographics and political lines, with over 80% of Republicans and 93% of Democrats agreeing that the current federal stance is out of touch. For everyday tokers, this widespread consensus is a massive win. It proves that we aren’t a niche subculture anymore; we are the clear majority. As public opinion shifts from "if" to "how" we legalize, the pressure on the federal government to finalize rescheduling and protect state markets like D.C. becomes undeniable. When nine out of ten people are on your side, it’s only a matter of time before the laws finally catch up to the culture. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Tennessee Democratic State Rep. Antonio Parkinson plans to propose the "Freedom to Farm Act" in 2026, which would allow one adult per household to grow up to 15 cannabis plants for personal use only, provided they obtain certification and purchase seeds from a state co-op, with the lawmaker emphasizing the bill's potential medical benefits. < Back Tennessee Lawmaker Puts Home Cannabis Cultivation Among 2026 Legislative Priorities Jan 6, 2026 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A Tennessee lawmaker included a proposal to legalize home cannabis cultivation among his 2026 legislative priorities, WMC reports. The Freedom to Farm Act, which Democratic State Rep. Antonio Parkinson intends to propose this legislative session, would allow one adult in each household to grow up to 15 cannabis plants for personal use. “Five adult plants, five intermediate plants, and five budding plants, so they can continue to have the supply of marijuana that they need personally. Whether it is for medical purposes or whatever.” — Parkinson to WMC The bill would not allow homegrown cannabis to be sold or otherwise distributed. It would require certification for people who grow cannabis and that the seeds be bought at a state co-op. “If you are caught violating any rules, you will be prosecuted criminally,” Parkinson told WMC, “and you will never be able to take part in this opportunity again.” Parkinson added that home cannabis cultivation would be significant for people with medical conditions. “I am not a marijuana smoker,” he said to WMC, “but I do know there is some medical benefits to those individuals who suffer from debilitating diseases, medical issues, PTSD.” The bill has not yet been formally introduced. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A personal brand is a consistent, authentic reputation and representation of your value, which is essential in today's business environment for building trust and standing out. It requires intentional definition of what you do best and what you want to be known for, followed by consistent communication of your story and value through both social media and offline networking. Your personal brand should also be flexible, evolving as your goals and industry change over time. < Back Build a Personal Brand that Opens Doors in Cannabis Jan 21, 2026 Source: Kim Prince MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *Key Takeaways* - Your personal brand exists whether you build it or not, so own the narrative. - Authenticity and consistency are the fastest path to trust. - Define your value: what you do, what you love, and what you want to be known for. - Use social media intentionally (and socially): share wins, add value, engage. - Reinforce online visibility with offline networking and refine your brand over time. One of my favorite office-gear gifts is a small sign that sits on my desk. It simply says, “Shit. I forgot to create a personal brand.” All joking aside, a personal brand is a must for anyone in business today, particularly for those of us in the cannabis space. Given our industry’s competitive nature, its breakneck evolution over the past decade, and the anticipation of what rescheduling could mean for all of us in the next one, we are all thinking about how we can appeal to a wider population of consumers and the bigger potential markets we can create. Why do I need a personal brand? In an industry still navigating the shift from legacy to legal, a personal brand acts as a bridge of trust for skeptical investors and new consumers alike. Personal brands are nothing new. In business-talk circles, the idea has been around for more than forty years. At its core, establishing a personal brand means building your reputation and explaining your value. We’ve been doing that in our resumes for years. What *is* new is intention and how you apply your personal brand to today’s hyper-connected social media age. And if you’re not intentionally putting your personal brand to use, someone is likely already doing it for you. So, take the reins yourself. As I advise my firm’s clients, “Tell your own story — because if you don’t, someone else will.” What is a personal brand? A personal brand is the consistent, authentic reputation you build by clearly communicating your value and showing it through your actions and visibility. Your personal brand is rooted in who you are. At the risk of repeating an overused term, it’s who you *authentically *are. You’ve seen people who are *authentic*. They break through the noise and grab attention. Think Gary Vaynerchuk, an entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker with 11.2 million Instagram followers. Or Carolyn Davis, known online as MississippiKween, who turned a viral breakfast pizza video into a cookbook and kitchen product empire with business collaborations and 2 million Tiktok followers. While their niches differ, their core success is identical: They’ve replaced corporate artifice with human connection. They are successful because they are comfortable in how they communicate their ideas. That is who they are. There is no artifice. No performance. Certainly, those are extreme examples. And frankly, I’d love to have their audiences. But their success follows a key guiding principle: authenticity as brand. The architecture of an authentic brand How do you create your personal brand to make sure your business colleagues see the authentic you? - *Ask yourself* “What do I do? What am I most happy doing? What do I want people to know about me? What value do I bring to the table?” - *Leverage your professional and life experiences and interests.* How do you use these qualities? How do you bring value to the table? That gives you your story. - *Communicate.* Determine how and where you will tell your story and share publicly the value you offer. We’re all on social media. But how well are you using your social media? Are you posting regularly to LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok? Are you bolstering your website with links back and forth to your social media pages? And remember: Social media is about being social. So go out there and amplify your brand on social media. Share any publicity you receive. Use LinkedIn or Substack to share information about your awards, your accolades, your milestones. By consistently sharing these subtly, quietly, and strongly, you’ll position yourself as a thought leader. It’s also important to make sure you engage with people in the real world, telling your story and sharing your value face-to-face. Yes, that means networking. That means attending and participating in conferences. That means “getting out there.” To be sure, your personal brand will evolve over time as your personal goals develop and as the cannabis industry grows and changes. Being flexible and re-evaluating your brand should always be part of the plan. ------------------------------ Quick answers to personal branding questions 1. What is a personal brand? A personal brand is your reputation: how people describe you, what they trust you for, and the value they associate with your name. 2. Why is a personal brand important in cannabis? Because the industry is competitive and fast-changing, a strong personal brand helps you stand out, build credibility, and expand opportunities as markets evolve. 3. How do I start building my personal brand? Start with clarity: define what you do best, what you enjoy, what you want to be known for, and the value you bring. Then craft a simple story that connects those points. 4. What platforms should I use for personal branding? Use the platforms where your professional audience already pays attention — often LinkedIn first, then Instagram or TikTok depending on your role and goals. 5. How often should I post on social media? Consistency matters more than volume. Choose a cadence you can sustain (for example, 1–2 quality posts per week) and engage with others regularly. 6. How do I promote myself without feeling “salesy?” Focus on usefulness and proof: share insights, lessons learned, milestones, and earned recognition in a calm, factual tone — then amplify others, too. 7. Does my personal brand need to stay the same forever? No. Your brand should evolve as your goals change and the industry changes—revisit it periodically and adjust intentionally. ------------------------------ [image: Kim Prince, CEO, Proven Media] *Kim Prince* is founder and chief executive officer at Proven Media, a results-oriented agency serving business- and consumer-facing companies throughout North America.
