A recent survey indicates that two-thirds of Americans (67%) report experiencing stress more easily compared to five years ago, with increased prices (47%), traffic delays (40%), and miscommunications (39%) being major stressors. The survey also revealed the top 10 smallest things/sounds that cause stress, such as seeing someone they don't want to talk to (46%) or Wi-Fi lagging (40%). In response, 20% take CBD gummies and 30% use THC products daily, reporting stress level decreases of 54% and 68%, respectively. Nearly three in five (58%) believe the stigma around CBD and THC has lessened. Stress impacts the quality of life (73%) and sleep (77%), leading to the average respondent taking CBD gummies three nights a week and THC products four nights a week. CBDfx, a U.S.-based company founded in 2014, offers various CBD products. < Back Survey: More Americans Using THC, CBD to Manage Rising Stress Jun 19, 2025 Source: Staff MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *LOS ANGELES —* Compared to just five years ago, two-thirds of Americans (67%) find themselves getting stressed easier, according to a new survey. Among the highest stressors are increased prices (47%), running late when stuck in traffic (40%), and simple miscommunications (39%). The survey of 2,000 Americans, conducted by Talker Research on behalf of CBDfx between April 30 and May 8, also identified the Top 10 Smallest Things/Sounds That Cause Americans Stress: - When I see someone that I don’t want to talk to – 46% - A knock on the front door when I’m not prepared for guests – 44% - People talking to me when I want silence – 43% - When my Wi-Fi is lagging or cuts out – 40% - Listening to someone chewing loudly – 40% - Phone calls when I’m not expecting one – 34% - Someone near me heavy breathing – 25% - My alarm clock/alarm – 21% - Text message alerts – 16% - My phone/notifications going off during a meeting – 15% The survey found 20% of respondents take CBD gummies and 30% use THC products on a daily basis in order to combat their stress. Users reported their stress levels are decreased by an average of 54% after taking a CBD gummy, while THC users find that their stress drops by more than two-thirds (68%). This may be why another two-thirds (67%) agree Americans would be less stressed if they all indulged in some CBD or THC. On a related note, nearly three in five (58%) respondents believe that there’s less stigma surrounding CBD and THC products today, compared to 10 years ago. “One of the benefits of CBD’s interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system is a calming effect that works great for dialing down stress,” said Jameson Rodgers, CBDfx co-founder. “THC can have similar positive effects—enhanced by the compound’s natural mood elevation benefits—making it another great choice for stress relief.” Seventy-three percent of Americans surveyed said stress has an impact on their quality of life, and an even larger number (77%) said it has an impact on their quality of sleep. To combat this, the average respondent takes CBD gummies an average of three nights a week, while 16% use CBD gummies nightly. Respondents also average using THC products four nights each week, with 29% doing so on a nightly basis. “Over time, lack of sleep can have a negative effect on many areas of a person’s overall health, including stress. When you’re tired, stress can be more difficult to manage and, potentially, can do more long-term damage,” said Rodgers. “CBD sleep products can be an effective natural sleep aid. Those same calming effects that make CBD great for stress relief also make it an effective base ingredient for sleep aids, along with compounds like CBN (cannabinol), melatonin, chamomile, and other natural ingredients. THC works well with those same natural sleep ingredients, helping to elevate one’s mood and help them relax before bedtime.” About CBDfx CBDfx is a U.S.-based company founded in 2014 on providing high-quality cannabidiol (CBD) wellness products in a wide variety of formats from tinctures and topicals to gummies and capsules. CBDfx products are sold in more than 25,000 points of distribution in 21 countries and online. < 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.

Lawmakers are attempting to shut down the sale of hemp-derived THC products at the federal level. A House subcommittee voted to prohibit the sale of hemp-derived THC, closing the "hemp loophole." The National Cannabis Industry Association argues against this, stating that it would negatively impact public health and safety. < Back Federal Spending Bill Closing Hemp THC Loophole Passes House Committee Jun 6, 2025 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link While many states have already passed local laws to crack down on intoxicating hemp products, lawmakers at the federal level are now positioning to shut down the sale of hemp-derived THC industry throughout the entire U.S. Republican lawmakers in the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies on Thursday voted 9-7 to advance a federal spending bill containing language to prohibit the sale of any amount of hemp-derived THC or similar cannabinoids, Marijuana Moment reported. In opening remarks about the proposal, the subcommittee chair, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), said the bill “closes the hemp loophole from the 2018 Farm Bill that has resulted in the proliferation of intoxicating cannabinoid products, including delta-8 and hemp flower being sold online and in gas stations nationwide.” Aaron Smith, CEO of the National Cannabis Industry Association, said in the report the change would “ensure these products are made and sold without oversight, delivering a big win to the drug cartels at the expense of public health and safety.” “Congress should empower federal agencies to regulate these products responsibly, not double down on prohibitionist policies that have already proven to be failures both in practice and in the court of public opinion.” — Smith, via Marijuana Moment The bill will be considered by the full committee next. < 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.

In 2025, pre-rolls became the top-selling U.S. cannabis product category, generating $3.6 billion in revenue and surpassing cannabis flower for the first time. Driven largely by millennial consumers, the category saw nearly 19% sales growth with single-pack formats remaining the most popular. < Back Pre-Rolls Take the Crown as the New King of Cannabis Products Apr 17, 2026 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The era of the "convenience joint" being a second-tier option is officially over. For years, flower was the undisputed king of the dispensary, but new data shows that pre-rolls have finally taken the crown as the top-selling product category in the U.S. According to a massive deep-dive by Custom Cones USA and Headset, pre-rolls pulled in a staggering $3.6 billion in revenue during 2025. With over 383 million units moving off shelves, they now command nearly 16% of the entire market. This isn't just a fluke; it's the result of a five-year upward climb. While other categories are finding their footing, pre-rolls grew by nearly 19% in just the last year. It’s clear that the community is leaning into accessibility and ease of use. Whether you are heading to a concert or just want a quick session after work without the hassle of grinding and rolling, the industry is meeting that demand with better quality than ever before. Interestingly, the classic one-gram single remains the heavyweight champion, bringing in $1.44 billion on its own. However, the surge in multi-packs suggests that many of us are stocking up for social sessions or weekend trips. Millennials are leading this charge, making up almost 44% of all sales, proving that the younger generation of enthusiasts values ready-to-smoke options that fit a fast-paced lifestyle. So, why does this matter to you? It means more innovation. Manufacturers are shifting from using "trim" to using premium, high-grade flower, and the next big wave is already here: infused pre-rolls. Expect to see even more variety in joints dipped in oil or rolled in kief at your local shop. Pro tip: if you’re looking for the best value, keep an eye on those growing multi-pack options—they often offer a better price-per-gram while maintaining the convenience we all love. It’s a great time to be a fan of the classics. < 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.

Created through a cross of High School Sweetheart and Gas Breath, this cultivar is favored by those seeking a heavy-hitting experience with a complex terpene expression. Effects Molotov Cocktail is a powerful hybrid strain that delivers a hard-hitting, "creeper" high characterized by a cerebral buzz that effectively eases stress and transitions into a heavy, sedative body stone. With THC levels reaching into the mid-to-high 20s, it is specifically recommended for managing chronic pain and insomnia, as its potent effects often lead to couch-lock. This strain is best suited for low-energy, evening use due to its deeply relaxing nature. Its complex terpene profile is led by caryophyllene, which provides a peppery spice and anti-inflammatory benefits; limonene, which adds a citrus note and mood-lifting qualities; and myrcene, which enhances its herbal aroma and contributes to the strain's overall sedative properties.

A RAND study reports that Indiana residents spend nearly $2 billion on cannabis annually despite its illegality, while the state spends up to $20 million on enforcement. The report highlights that most residents live near dispensaries in neighboring legal states and suggests Indiana could generate $180 million in annual tax revenue through legalization. < Back Prohibition Isn't Stopping The Party: Hoosiers Are Spending $2 Billion On Green Every Single Year Apr 30, 2026 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A new study has revealed that even with some of the strictest prohibitions in the country, Indiana’s cannabis community is thriving—at least when it comes to demand. According to a recent report from the RAND Corporation, Hoosiers are shelling out nearly $2 billion every year on flower, edibles, and other products. It’s a massive figure that proves people in the Crossroads of America are just as enthusiastic about the plant as those in legal states, despite the lack of a regulated local market. What makes these numbers truly eye-opening is the missed opportunity for the state. While Indiana currently dumps up to $20 million annually into policing and enforcement, they are sitting on a potential goldmine. The research suggests that a legal, taxed framework could inject around $180 million into the state’s General Fund every year. That is a lot of revenue that could be going toward schools, infrastructure, or community programs instead of being handed over to neighboring states or the underground market. Speaking of neighbors, Indiana is essentially an island of prohibition surrounded by progress. With Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio all offering adult-use sales, nearly half of Indiana’s population lives within a short 50-mile drive of a legal dispensary. It’s no surprise that over 1.3 million residents are finding ways to enjoy their herb. However, the legal risks remain real; over 13,000 people were caught up in cannabis-related arrests in 2024 alone, mostly for simple possession. For local enthusiasts, the take-away is clear: the culture is strong, but the laws have some catching up to do. Until then, many are turning to hemp-derived alternatives which remain widely accessible. If you are one of the many making those cross-border trips, always remember to stay safe, know the local limits, and keep an eye on the changing legislative landscape. Seeing these billion-dollar stats is a great reminder that the plant is part of the fabric of the community, whether the politicians are ready for it or not. < 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.
