Cannabis is trending, and this article discusses the importance of understanding its history. It recommends books such as "Cannabis: The Illegalization of Weed in America," "Sacred Bliss: A Spiritual History of Cannabis," "Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana," "The Emperor Wears No Clothes," and "Pot in Pans." < Back 5 Must-Read Books for Cannabis History Lovers Mar 13, 2025 K. Astre Cannabis Now Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Obviously, cannabis is trending: Weed has been making headlines left and right. It’s an exciting time for the popular plant, from the future of financial projections to groundbreaking advancements in the medical world. While this deluge of news keeps cannabis enthusiasts on their toes and creates buzz in the industry, modern cannabis coverage can leave some holes in perspective for those who may not be well-versed in the plant’s background and historical significance. Learning about cannabis history from reputable books lends us a deeper understanding of some of the current hot topics in the plant’s world, like equity in the industry, why cannabis is still federally illegal and how the truth about its healing potential has been intentionally suppressed. For anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of the plant’s past in order to help them understand the present and even postulate its future, these must-read cannabis history books will point you in the right direction. But keep in mind that these are just a handful of great reads that will begin to give you a more well-rounded view of what’s going on now. Use these suggestions as a starting point for your research and keep looking for other history books that will augment your cannabis education. [image: Cannabis History Books] *“Cannabis: The Illegalization of Weed in America”* By Box Brown If you’re interested in learning about how and why cannabis became illegal but not really into the traditional route of reading and researching, then this nonfiction graphic novel might fit the bill. Author Box Brown offers insight into why cannabis prohibition was introduced, breaks down the emergence of the War on Drugs and how decades of propaganda have contributed to the disproportionate incarceration of black people. It’s both entertaining and educational and though it’s illustrated, it doesn’t take away from the strength of its content. “Sacred Bliss: A Spiritual History of Cannabis” By Mark S. Ferrara Beyond the clatter of politics, legislation and legalization, there’s an oft-forgotten element to cannabis that doesn’t get nearly the same amount of coverage and that’s it’s deeply intricate connection to spirituality throughout history. This book offers a global perspective on how humans have been using cannabis to expand and enhance their consciousness for centuries. It’s equal parts cannabis history and religious history. [image: Cannabis History Books] “Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana – Medical, Recreational and Scientific” By Martin A. Lee In this book, you’ll get a deeper look at cannabis’s ascent from a subcultural phenomenon to its current position as a mainstream topic of conversation. It covers cannabis from its prohibition to its rise in popularity through the lens of an award-winning investigative journalist with careful attention to detail. It’s a good read for anyone interested in cannabis from a number of perspectives, whether that’s medical, recreational, scientific or economic. “The Emperor Wears No Clothes: Hemp and the Marijuana Conspiracy” By Jack Herer This classic book is just as much a part of cannabis history as the information inside of it. Written by infamous cannabis activist and advocate Jack Herer, this book was originally published in 1985 and is a useful reference for anyone who wants to take a look into how similar the political climate around cannabis was then and now. In addition to some history, you’ll also learn a lot about the seemingly endless list of hemp’s uses and get some wisdom into why it’s taken so long for it to be legalized. [image: Cannabis History Books] *“Pot in Pans”* By Robyn Griggs Lawrence Lovers of cannabis-infused edibles will enjoy this book all about weed’s culinary roots. It’s an interesting look at how different cultures throughout time have utilized the plant as cooking ingredient through with a historical lens that offers facts as well as anecdotes. You’ll also be treated to a few recipes throughout the book in addition to learning how cooking with cannabis has survived the ages.

Marijuana Industry Political Committee Gave Another $1.05 Million To Trump’s Super PAC Ahead Of Rescheduling Order, FEC Filings Show < Back Marijuana Industry Political Committee Gave Another $1.05 Million To Trump’s Super PAC... Jan 5, 2026 Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A political committee funded by major marijuana businesses has contributed an additional $1.05 million to President Donald Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC in the months leading up to his rescheduling order, FEC filings show. The American Rights and Reform PAC—which initially launched in 2023 under a different name, Legalize America, and lists an executive at the marijuana company Curaleaf as its treasurer—gave $1 million to the president’s political committee in July and then another $50,000 in November. That raises the PAC’s total contributions to MAGA Inc. to $2.05 million, after cannabis businesses helped to contribute an initial $1 million in the first half of the year. The latest donation came about a month before Trump signed an executive order directing the attorney general to expeditiously complete the process of moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The FEC reports don’t indicate a purpose for the contributions, but the American Rights and Reform PAC has been active in its push for the incremental reform. For example, the committee released ads in March attacking former President Joe Biden’s cannabis policy record as well as the nation of Canada, promoting sometimes misleading claims about the last administration while making the case that Trump can deliver on reform. “This is an America first fight,” one ad said. “President Trump had the courage to sign Right to Try, healing American patients. Let’s do it again. Reschedule cannabis and put American first.” It seemed apparent that ads were intended to appeal directly to Trump, who has historically been driven by a desire to overshadow his political opponents and present himself as the champion for American enterprise. Marijuana Moment reached out to the PAC for comment about the latest contributions, but a representative was not immediately available. Curaleaf, whose vice president of government affairs Matt Harrell is listed as treasurer of the American Rights and Reform PAC, has also previously sought to gain Trump’s favor by donating $250,000 to his inaugural committee with a contribution filtered through a leading cannabis industry association. Meanwhile, an agriculture-focused conservative nonprofit connected to a PAC linked to the president is applauding his rescheduling order, arguing that it will “destroy” the illicit market and support seniors and military veterans who could benefit from cannabis. America First Agriculture Inc.—a group affiliated with a PAC of a similar name that previously urged Trump to follow through on a campaign pledge to reschedule marijuana—said in a new ad that the president “promised to put America first, and his word is as good as gold.” The Justice Department has not given a timeline for when a rescheduling decision might happen, and congressional researchers recently pointed out that it’s possible the agency could start the process over again, or decline to move forward all together. Notably, the organization behind the ad is associated with the similarly named America First Agriculture Action Inc., a PAC that lists Charles Gantt as its treasurer. Gantt is also the treasurer of MAGA Inc. *— Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Last month, groups of House and Senate Republican lawmakers also sent letters urging Trump not to reschedule cannabis. Trump, however, dismissed those concerns—pointing out that an overwhelming majority of Americans support the reform and that cannabis can help people who are suffering from serious health issues, including his personal friends.

A pair of Michigan bills, HB 5105 and HB 5107, aim to create new criminal penalties for illegal cannabis cultivation, delivery, and processing, and change concentrate possession limits. HB 5105 introduces escalating misdemeanor and felony charges based on the quantity of cannabis, plants, or concentrate involved. HB 5107 maintains existing home grow and personal possession limits but adds a 200-gram limit for concentrate possession, making violations a misdemeanor unless involving violence or commercial intent. Both bills were referred to the House Committee on Regulatory Reform. < Back Michigan Lawmakers Propose New Crimes for Illegal Cannabis Cultivation, Delivery, and Processing Oct 28, 2025 TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A pair of Michigan bills aims to create new criminal penalties for cultivating, delivering, or processing cannabis illegally, and changing the concentrate possession limits for individuals. Under HB 5105, people convicted of manufacturing between 10 kilograms and 25 kilograms of cannabis, or between 50 and 100 plants, or between one kilogram and 25 kilograms of concentrate could face a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to $20,000, or both, according to the bill summary. As the weights and plant counts increase, so do the charges. If the amount is 25 kilograms or more but less than 125 kilograms, or 100 plants or more but fewer than 500 plants, or 2.5 kilograms or more but less than 12.5 kilograms of concentrates, it would be a felony punishable by imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of up to $500,000, or both. If the amount is 125 kilograms or more but less than 250 kilograms, or 500 plants or more but fewer than 1,000 plants, or 12.5 kilograms or more but less than 25 kilograms of concentrates, a felony could be charged, punishable by imprisonment for up to four years or a fine of up to $2 million, or both. If the amount is 250 kilograms or more, or 1,000 plants or more, or 25 kilograms or more of concentrate, it would be a felony punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to $10 million, or both. HB 5107 would not change the 12-plant home grow limits or the 10-ounce personal possession limits, but it would add a 200-gram limit for concentrate possession. The proposal would make violations of the law a misdemeanor but would not require imprisonment unless the violation involved violence or was “habitual, willful, and for a commercial purpose,” according to the bill summary.

Several U.S. cities are using cannabis tax revenues for Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs. Albuquerque is allocating $4.02 million annually to support a UBI program, providing $750 monthly payments to 80 households, and Rochester is utilizing cannabis tax revenues to sustain a UBI program with $500 monthly payments to 175 families. These initiatives aim to address economic disparities and provide stability to underserved communities. < Back Cannabis Tax Revenues Fuel Universal Basic Income Initiatives in U.S. Cities May 20, 2025 Staff Mary Jane Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Several U.S. cities are pioneering the use of cannabis tax revenues to fund Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs, aiming to address economic disparities and support communities historically affected by cannabis criminalization. *Albuquerque’s Groundbreaking UBI Program* Albuquerque, New Mexico, has launched a notable initiative by allocating $4.02 million annually from cannabis tax revenues to support a UBI program. Half of this funding is directed to the Office of Equity and Inclusion to provide $750 monthly payments to 80 households over three years, focusing on the International District and Westside neighborhoods. These areas were selected due to their economic challenges and historical impacts from cannabis criminalization. The remaining funds support youth-focused initiatives, including substance use prevention and recovery services . *Rochester’s Vision for Cannabis-Funded UBI* In Rochester, New York, Mayor Malik Evans has proposed utilizing cannabis tax revenues to sustain a UBI program that currently provides $500 monthly payments to 175 families. Initially funded by the American Rescue Plan, the program aims to transition to a more sustainable model through cannabis taxation. This approach seeks to address the wealth gap exacerbated by past cannabis-related prosecutions . *Broader Implications and Future Prospects* These initiatives reflect a growing trend of leveraging cannabis tax revenues for social equity programs. By redirecting funds from cannabis sales to support UBI programs, cities aim to rectify historical injustices and provide economic stability to underserved communities. As more municipalities explore similar models, cannabis taxation could become a pivotal tool in advancing economic equity nationwide.

People who used psychedelics during the COVID-19 pandemic showed improvements in mental health. A study found that psychedelics and marijuana users showed improvements in depression, anxiety, and overall mental health. Another study found that high doses of LSD led to greater reductions in depression. Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy showed significant reductions in alcohol consumption and high smoking cessation rates. < Back Psychedelics Lead To ‘Improvements In Anxiety And Depression During Global Crisis Times’ Like COVID Pandemic, Study Shows Jun 27, 2025 Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link People who used psychedelics during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic showed “improvements in mental health,” supporting the idea that “beneficial effects on mood and anxiety associated with these substances may extend beyond controlled conditions” that can also apply in moments of “global crisis,” according to a new study. Researchers at Imperial College London set out to investigate how the use of various drugs impacted mental health outcomes amid the pandemic, drawing on survey data from UK residents from 2019 to 2022. On average, people who consumed drugs “had worse average mental health scores relative to drug-naive individuals at all timepoints,” the study found. But people who used psychedelics and marijuana “showed average improvements in depression, anxiety and overall mental health from pre-pandemic to January 2022, becoming on par with the drug-naive group.” Interestingly, the study, which received support from the UK government-funded National Institute for Health Research, said those improvements did not appear for “cannabis-only users, whose worse mental health scores persisted.” “Those who used psychedelics may have experienced some improvements in mental health across the pandemic timeframe, which supports the idea that beneficial effects on mood and anxiety associated with these substances may extend beyond controlled conditions,” the study authors said. The findings were based on surveys involving 377,678 respondents between December 2019 and March 2022. They were disaggregated into six clusters: People who used cannabis only, cannabis and cocaine, cocaine only, psychedelics and cannabis, poly-drug and no drugs. “Naturalistic use of psychedelics is associated with longitudinal improvements in anxiety and depression during global crisis times.” “Mental health in most drug use clusters remained stable over time, except for the psychedelics and cannabis cluster,” the study found. “At follow-up, this cluster showed significant within-subject improvements. Comparing pre-restrictions data to January 2022, individuals in this group had significantly worse depression and mental health composite scores than drug-naive individuals at baseline, but these differences diminished over time, with no significant differences relative to drug-naive individuals remaining at follow-up.” “Anxiety scores also dropped significantly in this cluster, though the differences from drug-naive individuals did not reach statistical significance at either baseline or follow-up,” it said. “Further analyses suggest this might be due to individuals in this cluster generally using fewer drugs by January 2022 relative to their pre-pandemic baseline. By contrast, cannabis-only users consistently showed poorer mental health across all symptoms compared to drug-naive individuals, suggesting the change in mental health scores might be related to the additional use of psychedelics within that cluster.” The researchers said the observation on psychedelics “accords with previous findings that link naturalistic use of psychedelics to improved mental health.” The study also lays out “several pertinent explanations” for the trend. “At the population level, drug users have worse mental health than drug-naive individuals–and it could be that (novel) use of psychedelics, albeit less drug use more generally, during crisis times, normalises those differences,” it says. “Another possible explanation is that the context is more influential in driving the effects of psychedelics than it is in driving the effects of other drugs.” There are limitations to the study, however. including the fact that it was “fully automated online” so researchers “did not conduct the sorts of interviews that are sometimes used to provide comprehensive baseline data on participants’ drug use histories, which limits our ability to assess the influence of prior drug use on mental health.” “For instance, we did not collect data pertaining to dosage, frequency or context of drug use, which are likely important in determining mental health outcomes, nor have we gathered specific information on other drugs individuals may use in the UK, such as amphetamines,” they said. “Future research should investigate whether the observed changes in mental health within the psychedelics and cannabis cluster are driven by alterations in the use of cannabis, psychedelics or their combined effects, particularly given their prevalent concurrent use; or whether they are a product of other synergistic or independent factors (such as the quality of interpersonal relationships, concurrent treatment for mood disorders or lifestyle changes),” the study concludes. Meanwhile, another recent study found that taking a high dose of LSD, coupled with assisted therapy, led to “greater reductions in depression” among patients compared to those who received a low dose of the psychedelic. A separate scientific review on psychedelics as a possible treatment for substance use disorders found that psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy “showed significant reductions in alcohol consumption and high smoking cessation rates” and has potential to lessen opioid dependence. In 2023, meanwhile, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) announced a $1.5 million funding round to further study psychedelics and addiction. Other recent research has also suggested that psychedelics could unlock promising new pathways to treat addiction. A first-of-its-kind analysis in 2023 offered novel insights into exactly how psychedelic-assisted therapy works for people with alcohol use disorder. Last year, meanwhile, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), which is part of the National Institutes of Health, identified the treatment of alcohol use disorder as one of a number of possible benefits of psilocybin, despite the substance remaining a Schedule I controlled substance under U.S. law. The agency highlighted a 2022 study that “suggested that psilocybin may be helpful for alcohol use disorder.” The research found people who were in psilocybin-assisted therapy had fewer heavy-drinking days over 32 weeks than the control group, which NCCIH said “suggests that psilocybin may be helpful for alcohol use disorder.” High Doses Of LSD Lead To ‘Greater Reductions In Depression’ Compared To Low Doses Of The Psychedelic, New Study Finds *Photo elements courtesy of carlosemmaskype and Apollo.* The post Psychedelics Lead To ‘Improvements In Anxiety And Depression During Global Crisis Times’ Like COVID Pandemic, Study Shows appeared first on Marijuana Moment. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cake Boss - Fluent, Clearwater (Florida Medical) Cake Boss, available at Fluent dispensary in Clearwater, Florida, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) th...

Cronos Group Inc. is acquiring CanAdelaar B.V., a licensed producer in the Netherlands’ regulated adult-use cannabis pilot program (Wietexperiment), for an upfront consideration of €57.5 million plus contingent payments. The Wietexperiment, which launched its experimental phase on April 7, 2025, mandates that all 72 coffee shops in ten participating municipalities exclusively source cannabis from ten licensed producers, including CanAdelaar, which operates a large cultivation facility in Voorne aan Zee. < Back Cronos to Acquire Netherlands-based CanAdelaar Dec 9, 2025 Mg Magazine Newswire MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *TORONTO* — Cronos Group Inc., through a wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into a definitive share sale and purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of CanAdelaar B.V., a company operating within the Netherlands’ adult-use cannabis pilot program (the *Wietexperiment*). Under the agreement, Cronos will acquire the shares for up-front consideration of €57.5 million, (about US$67.0 million), with additional contingent consideration payable in cash based on 0.5x of CanAdelaar’s normalized EBITDA in 2026 and 2027. The Netherlands’ adult-use cannabis pilot program, the Wietexperiment, was enacted in 2020 to establish a closed, regulated cannabis supply chain in ten participating municipalities. The start-up phase began in the fourth quarter of 2023, with the experimental phase officially launching on April 7, 2025. The program is scheduled to run for four years from that date, with the Dutch government retaining the option to extend it by up to an additional 18 months. Under the *Wietexperiment*, all 72 coffee shops (cannabis retailers) in the ten participating municipalities may no longer operate within the legacy ‘tolerated’ market and are required to source their cannabis products exclusively from one of ten licensed producers (including CanAdelaar). The framework prohibits the import and export of cannabis products, sales between licensed producers, and any supply to coffee shops outside the participating municipalities. Founded in 2018, CanAdelaar received its license under the *Wietexperiment* in the second quarter of 2023. CanAdelaar is headquartered in and operates out of Voorne aan Zee, Netherlands, with a 540,000 square foot facility spanning greenhouse cultivation as well as processing, production and packaging of all CanAdelaar products. With active sales to nearly all 72 coffee shops within the *Wietexperiment*, CanAdelaar sells flower, pre-rolls, hash, and edibles. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cake Boss - Fluent, Clearwater (Florida Medical) Cake Boss, available at Fluent dispensary in Clearwater, Florida, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) th...
