Virginia lawmakers passed bills to legalize recreational marijuana sales and provide resentencing relief, while Oklahoma GOP leaders rejected efforts to roll back legalization. Other developments include a Maryland psychedelics task force extension, Hawaii hearings on legalization, and Massachusetts surpassing $9 billion in total cannabis sales. < Back Virginia Lawmakers Pass Bills for Recreational Cannabis Sales and Resentencing Relief Feb 18, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Virginia is making major moves as lawmakers just cleared bills to launch recreational sales and provide resentencing relief for past convictions. This is a huge win for the community, potentially ending the "possession is legal but sales aren't" limbo. Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s GOP leaders are standing their ground against the Governor’s attempt to roll back medical access, proving that once the green door opens, it’s hard to shut. Over in Maryland, they’re doubling down on psychedelic research, while Massachusetts just hit a staggering $9 billion in total sales. These updates are a big deal for everyday tokers because they show that momentum is still building despite some old-school pushback from federal figures. For those in the DMV area, Virginia’s progress toward a regulated market means safer, more reliable access is finally on the horizon. It’s a reminder that while the politics can be slow and noisy, the community’s demand for fair access and social justice is actually winning. Keeping an eye on these legislative shifts is key to knowing when and where you can legally enjoy your favorite plant. < 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.

New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) Acting Executive Director Felicia A.B. Reid resigned and Deputy Counsel James Rogers was fired at the request of Gov. Kathy Hochul, following the OCM's withdrawal of a compliance investigation and Hochul's ongoing criticism that the agency is standing in the way of the market's potential. OCM Chief Administrative Officer Susan Filburn has been named the new Acting Executive Director. < Back Top New York Cannabis Regulator Resigns Dec 10, 2025 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) Acting Executive Director Felicia A.B. Reid resigned on Monday at the request of Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), the Capitol Press Room reports. Reid’s resignation, effective immediately, follows the eve-of-trial withdrawal of an OCM investigation into Long Island-based cannabis licensee Omnium Health. Officials had claimed the company was illegally renting its license and licensed space to unaffiliated entities and was effectively distributing unlicensed cannabis products. OCM Deputy Counsel James Rogers, who had led the investigation into Omnium, was also fired, the New York Times reports. “Too often, the Office of Cannabis Management has stood in the way of the market realizing its potential, including most recently in the case of a pending compliance action that it has had to withdraw.” — Gov. Hochul, in a statement Meanwhile, OCM Chief Administrative Officer Susan Filburn will move into the role of OCM Acting Executive Director. “New York’s cannabis market holds enormous potential,” Gov. Hochul said in the report. “It creates jobs, generates revenue and builds prosperity in communities that were left out of the economic mainstream for decades. Realizing that potential requires strong leadership, a deep understanding of the regulatory framework, and a steadfast commitment to the people of this state.” Hochul last year publicly criticized the industry’s launch as a “disaster,” pointing to slow licensing and the proliferation of unregulated sales, and ordered a comprenehsive audit of the OCM. Reid has led the agency since its inaugural Executive Director Chris Alexander resigned last May following the governor’s criticisms. < 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.

Everything about Pagoda: effects, typical THC, lineage, and terpenes — plus hands-on product reviews and bud photos from Toker's Guide's DMV experts. < Back Pagoda Strain Review Type Sativa THC % 22% Dominant Terpene Energy Terpinolene Relaxed, Happy Overview Pagoda is a mostly sativa cannabis strain developed by Bodhi Seeds. This cultivar is a hybrid cross between the "Genius" phenotype of Apollo 11 and Appalachia, resulting in a plant known for its vigorous growth and distinctive sensory qualities. Effects Pagoda is a mostly sativa strain that delivers a potent, uplifting, and cerebral experience, providing users with a clear-headed and energetic buzz. This high-energy profile makes it an excellent choice for daytime use, social activities, or creative endeavors that require focus and mental clarity. Its terpene profile is likely led by myrcene, which contributes sweet and fruity notes; limonene, which enhances its tropical citrus flavors; and caryophyllene, which provides a spicy, fuel-like funk and chemical undertone. These characteristics make Pagoda effective for managing ailments such as fatigue, chronic stress, and depression, while its cerebral effects can assist those struggling with creative blocks or lack of motivation.

The plant produces dense, heavy flowers that often require significant physical support or trellising to prevent the branches from bending or breaking under their own weight. The buds are typically resinous and structured in a way that reflects its sativa dominance. Aroma The aromatic profile is complex and pungent. It features a unique blend of tropical sweetness and industrial funk, characterized by notes of ripe pineapple, melon, and starfruit, underscored by a pronounced chemical-fuel aroma. Flavor The taste mirrors its scent, offering a multifaceted palate. Users can expect a vibrant mix of sweet tropical fruits like pineapple and melon on the inhale, followed by a sharp, "chem-fuel" terpene finish that lingers on the tongue. Lineage Pagoda is a genetic cross between Apollo 11 (Genius cut) and Appalachia (Green Crack x Tres Dawg). This combination blends the cerebral qualities of the Apollo line with the robust, frosty characteristics of Appalachia. Terpene Profile While specific lab results vary, the primary terpenes likely include: - Myrcene: Contributing to the sweet, fruity notes. - Limonene: Enhancing the tropical citrus flavors. - Caryophyllene: Providing the underlying fuel-like funk and chemical notes.Effects As a mostly sativa strain, Pagoda typically delivers an uplifting and cerebral experience. It is often reported to provide a clear-headed, energetic buzz that enhances creativity and focus, making it suitable for daytime use or social activities. Cultivation Preferences - Growth Habit: Extremely lanky; requires tall vertical space. - Maintenance: Heavy support (stakes or netting) is essential during the flowering stage to keep buds off the ground. - Flowering Time: Generally 9 to 10 weeks. - Environment: Thrives in environments where its height can be managed, either through topping or SCROG techniques.Origin The strain originated in the United States, bred by the renowned seed bank Bodhi Seeds, which is celebrated for using diverse and rare genetics to create unique hybrids. Seed Suppliers Authentic Pagoda seeds are primarily released through authorized Bodhi Seeds retailers and specialty seed banks such as Great Lakes Genetics, JBC Seeds, and Speakeasy Seedbank. Conclusion Pagoda stands out as a unique sativa-leaning hybrid that rewards growers with a complex terpene profile and a potent, uplifting high. Its combination of tropical fruit flavors and chemical "funk" makes it a favorite for connoisseurs, though its lanky growth habit requires an attentive gardener to reach its full potential.

The deal includes the global brand and related intellectual property, the United Kingdom brewing operations, and 11 strategic brewpubs in the U.K. and Ireland. In a press release, Tilray said the acquisition is expected to generate about $200 million in annual net revenue and between $6 million to $8 million of adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2027. According to a Guardian report, another 38 bars not included in the sale will close immediately, along with the shedding of 484 jobs. A total of 733 jobs will be preserved through the takeover, the report says. Tilray told the Guardian it is negotiating separately to purchase BrewDog assets in the U.S. and Australia. AlixPartners, which acted as the administrator for BrewDog, told the Guardian that “No offer was made at any stage of the sales process, from any prospective bidder, which would have preserved BrewDog in its entirety.” In a statement, Irwin D. Simon, chairman and CEO of Tilray, said the firm’s “total global beverage platform is expected to grow to about $500 million in annual revenue” and create “one of the largest diversified craft beverage platforms globally.” “Through this expanded platform, we see significant growth opportunity for BrewDog through broader distribution and the ability to invest back into brand and innovation, while introducing Tilray’s complementary beverage brands into international markets,” Simon said in a press release. “On a combined basis, we expect Tilray’s diversified global business to reach (about) $1.2 billion in annualized revenue.” < 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.

NuLeaf Naturals is positioned as a supplier for organizations participating in the CMS Innovation Center’s Beneficiary Engagement Incentive. < Back NuLeaf Naturals is Pushing to Bring High-Quality CBD to the US Medicare Pilot Program Apr 1, 2026 Source: Staff Cannabis Business Times Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Big news is brewing for the wellness community as High Tide’s subsidiary, NuLeaf Naturals, makes a strategic move toward the federal healthcare space. They are officially gunning for a spot as a primary supplier in a new Medicare pilot program designed to cover hemp-derived CBD products. For those of us who have followed the industry's evolution, this feels like a watershed moment where "alternative" relief finally gets a seat at the adult table of mainstream medicine. For a long time, many tokers have watched their older family members find incredible success using CBD for things like stubborn inflammation, localized pain, or just getting a decent night’s rest. The biggest barrier to entry for seniors on a fixed income has always been the cost, since these products aren't exactly cheap and have historically been ignored by insurance providers. Seeing a reputable brand like NuLeaf step up to work with government incentives is a huge win for accessibility. It means that high-quality, full-spectrum extracts could soon be within reach for a massive group of people who truly need them. NuLeaf has spent years building a name for itself through clean, potent formulations and transparent business practices. Those qualities are exactly what federal regulators look for when they start handing out supplier contracts. If they secure this position, it essentially validates their entire process from seed to shelf. For everyday users, this is a massive "green flag." It shows that the company is willing to jump through the necessary hoops to prove their products are safe and effective. Whether you are a Medicare recipient or just a fan of quality cannabinoids, this move is a positive sign for the whole industry. It pushes the narrative away from stigma and toward practical, science-based healthcare. Our tip? Keep an eye on brands that pursue these types of high-level certifications. It’s often the best indicator that you are getting exactly what is listed on the lab report. It’s an exciting time to see the plant we love finally being treated with the professional respect it deserves. < 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.

Rhode Island hemp farmers, including Mike Simpson of Lovewell Farms, criticize proposed bills (H6056 and H6270) that would restrict the sale of hemp-derived THC beverages. These bills, introduced by Reps. Baginski and Slater, aim to regulate the sale of hemp-derived beverages containing delta-9 THC. Simpson argues that the bills misrepresent the science behind these products and the existing legal infrastructure, potentially harming licensed hemp farms. The author says hemp regulation should be based on science and equity, not stigma or disinformation. < Back Rhode Island Lawmakers Are Trying to Kill Hemp THC Drinks Despite the Science and Existing Rules Jun 8, 2025 Source: Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Rhode Island’s local hemp scene is facing a major hurdle with new bills, H6056 and H6270, threatening to push small farmers out of the market. Local growers like Mike Simpson of Lovewell Farms are speaking out against these proposals, which aim to restrict hemp-derived THC drinks to dispensaries or liquor stores. The core issue is a misunderstanding by lawmakers who claim the industry is unregulated, despite existing strict testing and licensing requirements. Critics argue that these bills ignore the science of non-intoxicating ratios and unfairly favor big cannabis cultivators over the pioneers who built the state's hemp foundation. This matters to everyday tokers because it limits access to wellness products like high-CBD beverages and threatens the survival of local, organic options. Supporting our local farmers ensures a diverse and accessible market for everyone, rather than letting a few large entities control what’s on the shelves. For the community, it’s a reminder that we need regulations based on actual science and equity to keep the culture thriving. < 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.

Recently, Todd Blanche, the individual selected to lead the Department of Justice as the next U.S. attorney general, submitted formal written responses detailing his perspectives on critical cannabis reforms, specifically addressing the historic shift to Schedule III, the burdensome 280E federal tax rule, and general enforcement strategies. For everyday cannabis enthusiasts and medical patients, these updates carry significant weight. The transition away from the strict constraints of Schedule I status means that the federal government is finally acknowledging the plant's therapeutic attributes. More importantly, resolving the 280E tax restrictions will allow legal dispensaries and local brands to operate like conventional businesses, opening the door for better price accessibility, higher product quality, and enhanced innovation in the local community. While political figures frequently navigate these legal questions with caution, the fact that cannabis policy remains a front-and-center topic during high-level confirmation processes shows how much mainstream momentum the movement has gained. As the regulatory framework continues to transform, it is always a smart move for consumers to support compliant local dispensaries and stay informed about regional guidelines. The path toward complete federal normalization might still have a few bureaucratic twists ahead, but seeing top legal officials actively address the commercial and medical realities of the industry is a very encouraging sign for the future of cannabis culture and accessibility. < 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.
