Congresswoman Demands Details On Trump DOJ Marijuana Policy After Biden Guidance It Rescinded Is Revealed < Back Congresswoman Demands More Transparency on Trump DOJ’s Cannabis Approach Dec 4, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link It looks like the federal go easy era for cannabis might be hitting a snag. Nevada Congresswoman Dina Titus is calling out the Trump administration for quietly scrapping a Biden-era memo that told federal prosecutors to play it cool with simple possession cases. While the previous Department of Justice urged extreme caution on federal lands, reports indicate the new directive is shifting back toward rigorous enforcement. This is a major buzzkill for anyone who enjoys a session while camping in a National Park or visiting federal monuments. Rep. Titus is pushing Attorney General Pam Bondi for clarity, but the administration has been keeping their cards close to the vest. This matters to the community because it creates a confusing legal minefield for travelers and residents in legal states. Even with talk of federal rescheduling still in the air, this move suggests the feds could be ready to tighten the screws. For everyday enthusiasts, it is a reminder that legal status can change the moment you step onto federal soil. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.

For those, such as myself, who came of age in the prohibition era, it was a tad surreal to see the giant electronic billboard overlooking Manhattan’s Times Square (focal point of the world-famous New Years Eve countdown) displaying a “countdown to 420” promoted by a leading brand of rolling papers. But that is what gathered revelers witnessed in the minutes leading up to 4:20 PM on the afternoon of Sunday, April 20. The gathered masses—several hundred, at least—exploded into cheers at the appointed moment, many brandishing giant inflatable joints with the brand’s logo. These props were filled with air, not weed. But plenty of actual joints were also in circulation among the crowd—as is perfectly legal in New York pursuant to the public-use provision of the 2021 Marihuana Regulation & Taxation Act (MRTA). “Joining Cannabis Now in one of the worlds most recognized destinations—New York City’s Times Square—to celebrate cannabis culture on 4/20 with a wild countdown to 4:20pm on a giant billboard while puffing and sharing our B Noble and Jungle Gurl pre-rolls with the crowd was a very special, only-in-New-York treat!” says legendary hip hop pioneer Fab 5 Fredddy. This audacious cultural signifier was hosted by Cannabis Now and presented by Zig-Zag papers, perhaps still the most iconic amid the current profusion of brands. In conjunction with the 4/20 bash, Zig-Zag also held a retrospective exhibit on the brand’s history. Dubbed “Zig-Zag Through the Years,” this was hosted on the second floor of the luxuriously appointed Charlie Fox retail outfit, on Seventh Ave. at 48th Street, just a few blocks up from Times Square—which bills itself as “New York’s Chicest Cannabis Dispensary.” On display was a wide array of Zig-Zag-themed artifacts spanning generations—ashtrays, lighters, belt buckles, tchotchkes. “Some were produced under license, and some is fan art,” said Maggie Streng, director of brands with Turning Point Brands, Zig-Zag’s California-based stateside distributor. “If it shows an image of a cannabis leaf, that pretty much means it’s fan art.” And some of the artifacts are obviously from long before Zig-Zags were associated with cannabis. One souvenir decorative cloth, clearly from World War II, is printed with a 48-star US flag above the kicker, “You are safe when you buy Zig-Zag.” But Steng says the 4/20 affair was a kind of coming-out party for Zig-Zag. “This is the first time we’ve been officially associated with cannabis,” she says. This embrace is reflected in the product’s new packaging, which now reads “for herbal use.” James Mallios, founding partner of Charlie Fox, also spoke to the success of the event: “Zig-Zag and Cannabis Now were fantastic 4/20 partners. The Zig Zag installation was a huge hit with our guests and a natural fit for Charlie Fox. We look forward to working with them again.” *Boris the Zouave* That packaging still retains its traditional orange hue and emblematic image of a bearded picaresque rogue holding a hand-rolled cigarette (or joint). Many around the world who use the papers have no idea who this fellow is, only a vague idea of 19th-century French origins. It turns out that he is Boris the Zouave. This requires a little explanation. The Zouaves were a Berber tribe in the mountains of what is now Algeria who fought for the French in their conquest of North Africa in the 1830s, and then in many subsequent wars. Their exotic (for the French) garb became the inspiration for a military uniform that took on a cachet—many Frenchmen and non-Berber mercenaries joined Zouave regiments just for the cosplay aspect of it. But they fought bravely, from the Crimean War of the 1850s to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. There were even “Zouave” units on both sides in the American Civil War. The legend goes that Boris the Zouave was trying to have a smoke amid a pitched battle, when a bullet shattered his clay pipe. Undeterred, he ripped a strip off his gunpowder pouch and rolled up the tobacco in that—thusly inventing the idea of rolling papers. The papers were launched under the brand name Le Zouave in 1879, and were renamed Zig-Zag in 1906—this in reference to the interweaving of the papers as they are pulled from the dispensary booklet, then a new idea. Zig-Zag papers are still produced in France, and varieties now include Ultrathin, Unbleached and Organic Hemp, as well as the classic French Orange. Turning Point (with its headquarters in Louisville, Ky., but mostly operating out of Santa Monica) has been the brand’s US distributor since 1997. *‘French Elegance to Hip-Hop’* One artifact Steng proudly points to is a Zig-Zag booklet signed by rap star Dr. Dre. Another is a rare clear-vinyl printing of Dr. Dre’s 1992 album *The Chronic*—its sleeve famously a take-off on the Zig-Zag logo, with the good doctor’s face in place of Boris the Zouave’s. This printing includes a cannabis-leaf image emblazoned on the vinyl—while the sleeve is signed by both Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog, who also appeared on the album. Steng calls the exhibit a “celebration of music and art from French elegance to hip-hop.” She points out that for two years Zig-Zag has had its own stage at the Rolling Loud hip-hop festival, in both Los Angeles and Miami. She also boasts that Zig-Zags have been referenced in several hip-hop numbers—most notably Afroman’s “Crazy Rap” and Eminem’s “The Way I Am.” [image: inflatable joint] *Cultural Breakthrough* Scott Grossman is Turning Point’s vice president for corporate development. Of Wall Street background—former CEO at Vindico Capital—he’s eager to expand the New York presence of Zig-Zag, which has traditionally been more popular in California. “New York is becoming the epicenter for cannabis culture, where culture movers from the West Coast and Europe meet, being equidistant between the two,” he says. Grossman says of his new position with Turning Point/Zig-Zag: “This is a passion project for me.” A member of NORML in his youth, Grossman now says he wants to take a stand on legalization, and play a role in the mainstreaming of cannabis. “Eighty years of prohibition has obviously done more harm than good,” he concludes. “I’m fully in support of state-led legalization initiatives, but cannabis being a Schedule I substance under federal law is clearly misguided. We need to stand up for a safe and legal market. This is a $1 billion market, and there are still people behind bars for this plant.

Shelley Johnson, a 73-year-old former occupational therapist and cancer survivor known as A Good Witch, uses social media, tarot, and sculpture to promote mindfulness and self-acceptance. Her unconventional approach emphasizes nervous system regulation and the intentional use of cannabis to help individuals stay present and overcome personal limitations. < Back Meet The "Good Witch" Using Cannabis And Tarot To Help Us All Stay Present May 1, 2026 Source: Maria Wyllie Cannabis Now Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link If you’ve spent any time on social media lately, you’ve likely encountered the vibrant, unfiltered energy of Shelley Johnson, better known to her millions of fans as "A Good Witch." At 73 years young, Shelley is a powerhouse of authenticity, blending hard-won life wisdom with a refreshing, no-nonsense approach to cannabis culture. Far from your typical influencer, she’s a former occupational therapist and cancer survivor who has spent decades helping people find their own power. For Shelley, the plant isn't just about getting a buzz; it's a vital instrument for maintaining balance. After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2000 made standard pharmaceutical options unbearable, she rediscovered cannabis as a way to manage chronic pain and the side effects of chemotherapy. Her philosophy is simple: cannabis is a tool for neuro-regulation. It’s about calming the nervous system so you can actually be present in your own life rather than checking out from it. What makes Shelley’s perspective so valuable for the community is her focus on intentionality. She often reaches for low-THC, sun-grown flower—specifically shouting out organic cultivators like Moon Made Farms—because her goal is clarity, not total obliteration. She uses a puff to ground herself before creative sessions with sculpture or long walks, viewing the herb as a way to slow down and truly engage with the world. Her "Good Witch" persona is a masterclass in self-acceptance. Whether she’s sharing practical bong-cleaning hacks or baring the scars of her mastectomy to help others release body shame, she’s all about growth and healing. Her journey reminds us that cannabis can be a compassionate companion as we age, helping us stay mindful and connected. For anyone looking to integrate the plant into a healthy, balanced lifestyle, Shelley’s mix of humor and heart offers the perfect roadmap: stay present, keep it natural, and never let anyone else define your reality. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed an antitrust lawsuit against nine multistate cannabis operators (MSOs), alleging they used reciprocal purchasing agreements and other anti-competitive practices to rig the market and disadvantage independent Ohio licensees. The lawsuit claims the companies agreed to reduce purchases from independent operators to preserve shelf space for one another, leading to reduced product quality, restricted choices, stifled innovation, and supracompetitive pricing. < Back Ohio Attorney General Accuses Multistate Cannabis Operators of Price Fixing Feb 9, 2026 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed an antitrust lawsuit against nine multistate cannabis operators (MSOs) for anti-competitive practices that included reciprocal purchasing agreements to rig the market and disadvantage Ohio’s independent cannabis licensees. The MSOs named in the lawsuit include: - Ascend Wellness - Ayr Wellness - The Cannabist Company - Cresco Labs - Curaleaf - Green Thumb Industries - Jushi - Trulieve - Verano According to the lawsuit, senior representatives from the companies agreed in late 2022 to reduce purchases from independent operators to “preserve shelf space for one another during a period of increased supply and declining prices,” with some companies even establishing “explicit internal quotas” that were “negotiated at a national level,” the attorney general’s office said in a press release. “Our investigation uncovered allegations of an industry-wide scheme designed to push small Ohio businesses out of the market. Ohio’s antitrust laws protect competition and consumers, not backroom deals that rig the system for a select few.” — Attorney General Yost, in a statement The lawsuit argues that the conspiracies have reduced cannabis product quality, restricted product choices, stifled product innovation, and bred supracompetitive pricing for the cannabis industry, a violation of the state’s antitrust laws. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.

Jul 27, 2020 Source: Ed Rosenthal Ed Rosenthal Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *Collecting kief* is a great way to get the most out of your harvest. Whenever I have a bag of trim I make sure to not let the trichomes go to waste by using a simple dry sift method utilizing a mesh screen and a kief collector that’s small enough to fit on my desk while I write. Trichomes and crystals cover both the bud and the sugar leaves on the cannabis plant and should not be squandered! Kief is an amazing smoke with a THC level typically between 40% to 60%. In comparison, a premium trimmed cannabis flower is at most 30% THC. But you don’t have to choose one over the other. Smoking a bowl of premium flower out of my hash pipe with a bit of kief on the top brings me immense joy. [image: Dry ice kief from my homegrown Blue Dream {image Lizzy Fritz]] Dry ice kief from my homegrown Blue Dream {image Lizzy Fritz] For bigger projects, Tom’s Tumbler is the perfect kief companion. With Tom’s Tumbler you can trim wet or dry. *Wet Trimming* So first, let’s start with the wet trim process. After removing the stems, otherwise known as bucking, fill the Tumbler barrel to 3 inches below the middle axle line, either using the either provided ½” or ¼” MeshNet, depending on your bud sizes. Place the wet buds in the tumbler, equipped with Tom’s Tumbler CO2 adaptor. While rotating at the highest speed, open the CO2 valve all the way for 6 seconds. Turn off and continue tumbling for 3 to 5 minutes. The sugar leaves flash freeze and fall through the soft MeshNet. Remove the trimmed bud from the barrel, do a little touch up on the stubborn crow’s feet, and you have *a finished bud*. [image: The TTT-3000 is Tom’s Tumbler’s largest batch machine trimming 50 lbs. per hours.

The kief will drop down the funnel for collection. *Easy right?* [image: Sensi Star Kief] Sensi Star Kief *Dry Trimming* When you dry trim with Tom’s Tumbler, use the same kief extraction process. Dry to the point that the sugar leaves break off when you rub your finger against them. After properly drying, tumble for 3-5 minutes, per batch. The patented technology relies on the weight of the flowers tumbling against each other to trim the sugar leaves, the size of Tumbler you purchase should be thought out before your harvest. With more than 25 years of growing experience no harvest is too large or too small for Tom. He has a continuous feed Python that can take on your largest harvest, trimming 1,200 lb. per hour or the smallest Tumbler that does 6 lb. per hour. You’ll get plenty of high-potency powdery kief which can be enjoyed as is or further transformed in an edible or pressed with heat to become a delicious hash dab.Many large medical growers use Tom’s Tumblers at their facilities.

The Nebraska Legislature voted 30-7 to advance Legislative Bill 933, which aims to protect medical practitioners from criminal or civil penalties for recommending medical cannabis to patients. The bill, sponsored by State Sen. John Cavanaugh, seeks to ensure a functional medical program following voter legalization in 2024 while maintaining accountability for malpractice and professional negligence. < Back Nebraska Doctors One Step Closer to Recommending Med Without Fear of Legal Blowback Mar 21, 2026 Source: Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Nebraska is taking a major step toward a functional medical cannabis market. The state legislature recently voted 30-7 to advance Legislative Bill 933, which provides essential legal cover for doctors. This bill ensures that medical professionals can’t be hit with criminal or civil penalties just for recommending cannabis to their patients. While practitioners still have to follow standard care and avoid malpractice, they’ll finally have the freedom to discuss pot as a legitimate treatment option without fear of state retribution. This is a massive win for the community because a legal market is useless if doctors are too scared to write the recommendations needed to access it. For years, Nebraska patients have been stuck in limbo, but this protection helps bridge the gap between voter approval and actual relief. It’s a clear sign that the state is moving past "reefer madness" era intimidation and toward a system built on professional medical judgment. For everyday tokers and patients in Nebraska, this means the path to safe, legal access just got a whole lot smoother. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.

The brand is the official wellness provider for the Retired NFL Players Congress. < Back OP6 CBD: Redefining Athletic Recovery Without Pharmaceuticals Dec 15, 2025 Source: Ganjapreneur Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link [image: Craig Zaffe and Reggie Grant of OP6CBD] For our latest Q&A interview, we connected with the people behind OP6 CBD, a wellness-focused CBD topicals manufacturer whose high-potency products are geared toward athletic recovery and everyday mobility. Craig Zaffe, a longtime independent medical cannabis grower from New York, partnered with retired NFL player Reggie Grant to grow OP6 in 2022. Together, they set out to deliver high-quality topicals for athletes and anyone suffering from aches and pains. Their flagship products are two CBD-rich sports creams: a “warming” cream for when you’re moving, and a menthol “cooling” cream for when you’re in recovery. All of OP6’s products are manufactured in an FDA-licensed, GMP-certified facility. In this Q&A, Craig and Reggie joined us to discuss how they wound up developing their vision into a tangible product, as well as how they approach manufacturing standards, the importance of community engagement and education, and how CBD topicals are entering recovery conversations across traditional wellness markets and professional sports networks. ------------------------------ Read the interview: *Craig, after growing medical cannabis for decades, what originally inspired you to launch Hemp for Life Wellness and develop the OP6 CBD line?* *Craig:* I’ve been cultivating medical cannabis since 1988 to help family and friends manage health conditions. Over time, I realized THC wasn’t right for everyone, but CBD offered benefits that could support almost anyone. That realization inspired me to launch Hemp for Life Wellness—doing business as OP6 CBD—to make CBD products accessible on a larger scale. *What was your initial vision for the company, and how has it evolved since you got started?* *Craig:* My vision from the beginning was to educate people about cannabis as one of the most beneficial plants on the planet. Cannabis has over 25,000 uses and interacts directly with our endocannabinoid system to regulate balance in the body. By incorporating cannabis into our lives, we can improve our health while also helping the planet. Education remains central—when people understand how the plant works, they’re empowered to take charge of their own wellness. *Reggie, when did you first discover CBD, and how has it impacted your life personally?* *Reggie:* I first learned about CBD at a Jets Alumni Reunion in August 2022, where Craig was giving a seminar. He shared samples of OP6 CBD Sports Cream, and I was amazed at how quickly it relieved my pain and inflammation. The very next day, I reached out to him about working together. *For professional football players and athletes of all kinds, recovery is critical. If the NFL and other leagues were to embrace CBD, how much of a difference could it make?* *Reggie:* It would be a game-changer. CBD can help reduce pain and inflammation without the side effects that come with prescription pain medications. If leagues like the NFL adopted it, athletes could extend their careers and improve their overall quality of life. *How do you approach quality assurance and sourcing when it comes to the CBD and other ingredients in OP6 products?* *Craig:* Our Sports Cream is manufactured in an FDA-licensed, GMP-compliant facility, with 1,200 mg of CBD per jar. We offer both Warm and Cool formulas, using FDA-approved ingredients like menthol, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, hemp seed oil, CBD isolate, and a proprietary blend of terpenes. Every batch is independently lab tested to confirm purity and ensure it’s free of pesticides, fungi, and heavy metals. *Reggie, how did the partnership with the Retired NFL Players Congress come together, and what does it mean for OP6 moving forward?* *Reggie:* I’ve been involved with the Retired Players Congress for years. After I started using OP6 CBD, I shared it with fellow players Bob Grant and Ron Brown, who were impressed with the results. That led the Congress to make OP6 CBD its official wellness provider, which helps us reach more retired athletes who can benefit from our products. *The next question is for Craig. Looking back to the grassroots pre-legalization days, what lessons would you say still hold true in today’s cannabis economy?* *Craig:* The most important lesson is to let the science speak for the plant and to keep educating people. Even our own government holds a patent recognizing cannabis’ neuroprotective properties. The more we can ground this industry in science, the stronger it will be. *How important is community involvement in building a wellness brand, and how does OP6 engage locally?* *Craig:* Community engagement is vital. We’re members of the Long Island Cannabis Coalition, we host educational seminars at dispensaries, and we recently spoke with a senior citizens group. We’ve also been featured in *HoneySuckle Magazine*, Channel 12 News, and *Newsday*. Showing up and having real conversations is the best way to connect. *How do you define success—not just for OP6 as a business, but as wellness advocates?* *Craig:* Success is more than profit. It’s about helping people live healthier lives and giving them the information they need to reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals. We want people to feel empowered to make cannabis part of their lifestyle. *Reggie:* I’d add that success also comes from surrounding yourself with people who bring value and being in the room to have those conversations. That’s how both sports and business move forward. *If someone discovers OP6 CBD for the first time today, what’s the one thing you’d want them to take away from the experience?* *Craig:* Most first-time users are amazed at how quickly they feel relief from pain and discomfort. That immediate effect is what we want them to remember—the experience of finding a natural solution that truly works. *Reggie:* For me, it’s about trust. As an athlete who relied on my body for a career, I want people to know these products are safe, reliable, and built to make a difference in everyday life. ------------------------------ *Thank you Craig and Reggie for sharing your insights!

A new scientific analysis found that states that opened recreational marijuana dispensaries saw a modest yet statistically significant reduction in suicide rates among adults ages 45 and older, with the effect being strongest among men. The research suggests that actual access to cannabis through retail stores, rather than legalization alone, may help older adults manage chronic pain and underlying health issues that contribute to suicide risk. < Back New Study Links Legal Cannabis Access to Lower Suicide Rates Among Older Adults Dec 12, 2025 Source: Aaron Houston Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A groundbreaking new study reveals that opening recreational cannabis dispensaries actually helps save lives, specifically among older adults. By analyzing over 20 years of data, researchers found a clear link between retail cannabis access and a drop in suicide rates for people aged 45 and up. Interestingly, the positive impact was most noticeable among men, who often struggle with chronic pain—a major risk factor for mental health struggles in later years. The study highlights that it isn't just the change in law that matters, but having physical, licensed shops where people can safely acquire the plant. This is a massive win for the community because it pushes back against the outdated stigma that cannabis harms mental health. Instead, it suggests that for those dealing with the wear and tear of aging, the local dispensary is providing a vital tool for relief and well-being. For everyday tokers, this research adds another layer of proof that our culture of accessibility and safe consumption is a public health benefit, not a burden. It’s heartening to see the plant being recognized for the literal lifesaver it can be. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.
