A proposed ballot measure in Alaska, the Alaska Natural Medicine Act, aims to decriminalize “natural medicines” like psilocybin and psilocin, similar to Colorado's initiative. The proposal would decriminalize personal use, possession, growing, gifting, gathering, and community use of certain natural medicines, including DMT and mescaline (excluding peyote). It also includes a "Regulated Access Model" for supervised services and a "Traditional Use Model" for ceremonial use. If approved and enough signatures are collected, it could be on the 2026 or 2028 ballot. Oregon and Colorado have previously decriminalized similar substances. < Back Alaska Ballot Proposal Aims to Decriminalize Natural Psychedelics Jul 15, 2025 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A draft ballot measure currently under review by the Alaska Department of Law would decriminalize “natural medicines” in the state, including psilocybin and psilocin, the hallucinogenic compounds common in psychedelic mushrooms, the Alaska Beacon reports. The proposal, the Alaska Natural Medicine Act, is modeled after Colorado’s successful ballot initiative to decriminalize natural psychedelics. Submitted for review by the advocacy group Natural Medicine Alaska on June 18, the proposal would decriminalize the “personal use, possession, growing, gifting, gathering, and community use of certain [natural medicines], including DMT, mescaline (except peyote), psilocybin, and psilocin,” the organization said in an initiative policy outline. The review process is expected to wrap up by August 17, the report said. If approved, possession would be limited to individuals at least 21 years old. In addition to blanket decriminalization, the proposal offers a “Regulated Access Model” that includes “licensed healing centers where adults can receive supervised natural medicine services,” as well as a “Traditional Use Model” covering the “ceremonial, spiritual, or cultural use of natural plant medicines in accordance with practices passed down through generations within indigenous or traditional communities.” In an interview with the Beacon, the interim co-executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Ismail Ali applauded the measure as the first psychedelics decriminalization campaign he’s seen including Native leadership local to the region. If approved by the Department of Law, supporters will have to collect at least 34,099 valid voter signatures — including minimum requirements from certain districts — to qualify the proposal for the ballot. If supporters can complete the signature-gathering process before the state Legislature convenes in January, the proposal would qualify for the 2026 ballot. However, if the process wraps up after lawmakers convene the session, the ballot question would be delayed until 2028, the report said. Oregon was the first state to decriminalize certain natural psychedelics by ballot initiative in 2020, followed by Colorado voters in 2022. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Everything about Llanera: effects, typical THC, lineage, and terpenes — plus hands-on product reviews and bud photos from Toker's Guide's DMV experts. < Back Llanera Strain Review Type Sativa THC % 17% Dominant Terpene Energy NA Unknown Overview Llanera, also known as Colombian Black, is a rare and authentic landrace sativa hailing from the Llanos region of Colombia. Preserved by Criposo Art since the 1990s and introduced to the global market by The Landrace Team, it represents the pure, unadulterated genetics of traditional South American cannabis. Effects Llanera, also known as Colombian Black, is a potent 100% pure sativa landrace that delivers a soaring, almost psychedelic cerebral experience characterized by intense energy and euphoria. This high-energy strain is ideal for creative endeavors and outdoor activities, though its significant potency may be overwhelming for those prone to anxiety. Its terpene profile is led by myrcene, which provides an earthy and herbal foundation; caryophyllene, which adds woody, spicy notes and potential anti-inflammatory benefits; and limonene, which enhances its sour tropical aroma while promoting an uplifting mood. While primarily sought after for its revitalizing effects, its unique chemical composition makes it suitable for managing fatigue and mood-related symptoms, offering a rare and sophisticated profile that distinguishes it from modern hybrids. Positive Effects Side Effects Common Uses Relaxed 0% Happy 0% Euphoric 0% Uplifted 0% Talkative 0% Creative 0% Energetic 0% Focused 0% Giggly 0% Tingly 0% Hungry 0% Sleepy 0% Unknown Dry Mouth 0% Dry Eyes 0% Dizzy 0% Paranoid 0% Anxious 0% Hungry 0% Tingly 0% Sleepy 0% Appearance This strain exhibits classic sativa morphology, characterized by its tall, lanky stature and narrow-fingered leaves. The buds are typically airy and elongated, showing off a range of deep greens that can darken to near-black hues during maturation, accented by thin, wispy pistils. Aroma The scent profile is strikingly exotic and pungent. It leads with a sharp, sour guava fruitiness that is deeply balanced by heavy, woody notes of aged cedar and damp earth. Flavor On the palate, Llanera delivers a complex tropical experience. Users will notice a tart, citrusy guava flavor on the inhale, followed by a sophisticated, resinous wood finish that lingers with a spicy, herbal undertone. Lineage As a true landrace, Llanera has no hybridized lineage. It is a 100% pure sativa variety that evolved naturally in the wild and through local cultivation in the Colombian Llanos before being stabilized for preservation. Terpene Profile - Myrcene: Provides the underlying earthy and herbal foundation. - Caryophyllene: Contributes to the woody, spicy notes and potential therapeutic benefits. - Limonene: Enhances the sour, tropical fruit aroma and uplifting mood effects.Effects Renowned for its old-school high, Llanera offers a potent, almost psychedelic cerebral experience. It is intensely energetic and euphoric, making it a favorite for creative endeavors or outdoor activities, though its potency can be overwhelming for those prone to anxiety. Cultivation Preferences Like many equatorial sativas, Llanera requires patience and specific conditions. - Flowering Time: Exceptionally long, often ranging from 14 to 20 weeks. - Yield: Moderate to high in volume, though the buds are less dense than modern hybrids. - Maintenance: Thrives in hot, humid, tropical climates with plenty of light; it is best suited for outdoor growth or large greenhouse setups due to its significant height.Origin The strain originated in the Llanos region of Colombia, a vast tropical grassland plain situated east of the Andes. Seed Suppliers Authentic genetics are primarily sourced through The Landrace Team and specialized heritage seed banks focused on landrace preservation. Conclusion Llanera (Colombian Black) is a connoisseur's dream, offering a window into the history of cannabis. While its long flowering cycle and tall growth make it a challenge for novice growers, the reward is a unique, soaring sativa high and a flavor profile that is increasingly rare in the era of modern crossbreeding.

Kentucky's first licensed medical marijuana dispensary, The Post Dispensary in Beaver Dam, is set to open this weekend, though Governor Andy Beshear anticipates its initial supply will run out quickly. The governor celebrated the milestone, noting that over 23,000 patients have received e-certifications to access cannabis, many of whom are seeking alternatives to opioids for chronic pain management. The state has approved 16 cultivators, 48 dispensaries, six safety compliance facilities, and certified 506 doctors, while Beshear continues to push for federal action on marijuana rescheduling and the repeal of the ban on firearm possession for medical cannabis patients. < Back Kentucky’s First Medical Cannabis Dispensary Opens This Weekend with Expected Quick Sell-Out Dec 11, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Kentucky is finally hitting a major milestone as its first licensed medical marijuana dispensary, The Post in Beaver Dam, prepares to open its doors this weekend. Governor Andy Beshear shared the news with a mix of excitement and a realistic warning: demand is so high that supplies will likely vanish by the end of the first day. This launch is a massive win for the 23,000 registered patients in the state, many of whom are looking for a safer alternative to opioids for chronic pain. While the state has already greenlit dozens of dispensaries and cultivators, the governor is also pushing for federal changes, like protecting the gun rights of medical users. For the local community, this is a huge step toward accessible, regulated herb. It means patients can finally stop worrying about the legal gray area and start getting the relief they need from a safe, tested source. Even with the early supply hiccups, it’s a sign that the Bluegrass State is serious about cannabis culture and taking care of its own. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A study in the *American Journal of Psychiatry* suggests that smoking cannabis can lead to lower short-term alcohol consumption, with participants reducing intake by 19% (3.1% THC) to 27% (7.2% THC). However, the lead author warned against using these findings to validate cannabis as a less harmful substitute for alcohol, noting it is too early to recommend it as a safe or effective harm reduction alternative. < Back Study: Smoking Cannabis May Reduce Short-Term Alcohol Consumption Nov 20, 2025 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A study published Tuesday in the *American Journal of Psychiatry *suggests that smoking cannabis can lead to lower short-term alcohol consumption. The study The researchers from Brown University found that study participants who smoked cannabis with 3.1% THC reduced their alcohol consumption by 19% and those who smoked cannabis with 7.2% THC reduced their alcohol consumption by 27%. “Following overnight cannabis abstinence, smoking cannabis acutely decreased alcohol consumption compared to placebo. Further controlled research on a variety of cannabinoids is needed to inform clinical alcohol treatment guidelines.” — “Acute Effects of Cannabis on Alcohol Craving and Consumption: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial,” *Americal Journal of Psychiatry, *11/18/25 In an interview with Stat News, Jane Metrik, the study’s lead author and psychologist at Brown, warned against using the findings as a validation that cannabis is a less harmful substitute for alcohol, especially for those who meet criteria for alcohol use disorder or want to reduce their drinking. “Under these controlled conditions, people are reducing alcohol consumption after smoking cannabis,” Metrik said. “We don’t know yet if that actually translates to fewer alcohol-related harms. … It’s far too early to recommend cannabis as a safe or effective substitute or harm reduction alternative to alcohol.” < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
