A new Virginia government cannabis commission will meet next week to discuss future marijuana laws, likely leading to a revised proposal for retail sales. While marijuana use and possession have been legal since 2022, retail sales are still forbidden, fueling an illicit market. Governor Glenn Youngkin has twice vetoed proposals for regulated sales, but with his term ending, the next governor will likely decide the fate of retail cannabis. The commission, in place until mid-2028, will gather public input and make recommendations on various policy matters for Virginia's transition to a commercial adult-use market, including licensing, taxes, employment protections, and labor union agreements. Advocacy groups like Marijuana Justice and NORML plan to participate, while the Virginia Cannabis Association does not, focusing instead on reintroducing previously vetoed legislation. The outcome of the upcoming gubernatorial election is seen as crucial for the future of cannabis retail in Virginia. < Back Virginia Cannabis Commission Meets to Shape Recreational Sales Rules for New Governor Jul 1, 2025 Source: Ben Adlin Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Virginia is finally taking another crack at fixing its messy cannabis situation. Since 2022, folks in the Commonwealth have been in a weird spot where it is legal to have weed but illegal to buy it. Thankfully, a newly reformed state commission is meeting to hammer out the details for a real retail market. They are looking at everything from licensing and taxes to much-needed employment protections for off-clock use. While Governor Youngkin has been a buzzkill with his past vetoes, he is on his way out, and this group is laying the foundation for the next administration to finally open the doors. For everyday tokers, this is a huge deal because it means we are moving closer to a future with safe, lab-tested products instead of relying on the unregulated street market. It is also a chance to make sure small, local growers get a fair shot before the big corporate players take over. If we see pro-cannabis leadership after the next election, 2026 could finally be the year Virginia’s retail scene goes live. < 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.

Wisconsin's governor stated that if Democrats gain control of the legislature, the state could legalize marijuana. This would allow residents to avoid purchasing from Illinois. The governor included a marijuana legalization plan in his budget request, which would impose taxes on recreational cannabis products. < Back Wisconsin Governor Says Legalization Would Keep Tax Revenue In-State Instead of Illinois Jun 16, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers is making it clear: the path to legal weed in the Badger State runs through the ballot box. At a recent Democratic convention, Evers pointed to new, fairer redistricting maps as the key to finally breaking the Republican-led gridlock that has stalled reform for years. He argues that by flipping the legislature, Wisconsin can stop watching millions in tax revenue vanish across the border into Illinois' legal market. His proposal isn't just about sales; it includes a plan to tax recreational products and a pathway for expunging non-violent marijuana convictions. Even some GOP leaders are starting to admit the issue won't disappear, given how easily residents can currently grab a jar just a short drive away. For the local community, this is a major "watch this space" moment. Ending the "Wisconsin-to-Illinois" supply run means safer, regulated access and keeping local money in local neighborhoods. It’s a reminder that who we vote for directly impacts whether we’re buying from a licensed shop or looking over our shoulders. < 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.

Medicare has launched a pilot program allowing providers to receive up to $500 annually per patient for the consultation and provision of specific CBD products. < Back Medicare is finally stepping up to help cover the cost of your favorite hemp-derived CBD products Apr 9, 2026 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The federal government is finally acknowledging what many of us have known for years: hemp-derived wellness products have a legitimate place in a modern healthcare routine. Medicare has officially kicked off a groundbreaking pilot program that allows medical professionals to guide patients toward specific CBD options. This isn't just a minor policy update; it's a massive win for the community because it brings high-quality cannabinoids into the primary care conversation for seniors and those with disabilities. Under this new setup, participating healthcare providers can get up to $500 per patient each year to handle consultations and supply vetted CBD products. While you won't be finding heavy-hitting flower through this program, it covers low-THC options like tinctures and capsules that meet strict federal standards—meaning no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC and a cap of 3mg of THC per serving. This is a huge relief for anyone who has been curious about using the plant for sleep or recovery but felt overwhelmed by the "Wild West" nature of the unregulated market. This move by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is all about meeting people where they are. For older adults who might be hesitant to step into a local dispensary, having a trusted doctor walk them through the benefits of a third-party tested hemp extract is a game-changer. It prioritizes safety and education while making these potentially life-changing tools more accessible to those who need them most. Of course, it wouldn't be cannabis news without a little drama. A group of opponents has already filed a lawsuit to stop the program, claiming it oversteps federal authority. But for now, the pilot is active and moving forward. If you or a loved one are on Medicare and have been looking for a natural way to manage daily symptoms, now is the perfect time to ask your doctor if they are participating. It’s a great step toward a future where plant-based wellness is treated with the 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.

Mr. Sherbinski discusses the evolution of cannabis strains from OG Kush to Gelato and shares insights on current industry trends. < Back The Gelato Legend Speaks: Mr. Sherbinski on the Shift from OG Gas to the Candy Strains Dominating Today’s Top Shelf Mar 31, 2026 Source: Chris Roberts MJbizDaily Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Ever notice how the jars at your local shop went from smelling like a gas station to a bakery? That shift wasn't an accident. In the old-school medical days, OG Kush was the undisputed king of the mountain. It was all about that heavy, earthy, piney punch that let you know exactly what you were smoking. But as we moved into the recreational era, the "candy" craze took over, and the game changed forever. Mario Guzman, the legendary breeder better known as Mr. Sherbinski, is one of the primary reasons your favorite flower likely tastes like dessert today. As the creator of the world-famous Gelato line, he helped usher in a new wave of genetics that prioritized creamy, sweet, and fruity terpene profiles. In a recent deep dive, he reflects on this massive transition from the "gas" of the past to the "sugar" of the present, providing a roadmap for what is currently considered fire and what home growers should be keeping in their tents. For the everyday toker, this evolution matters because it dictates what we see on the shelves. While dessert strains have dominated for years, the market is starting to swing back toward complexity. Enthusiasts are beginning to crave a balance—looking for that "new-school" flavor profile but with the "old-school" heavy-hitting effects of its OG ancestors. If you are looking for top-shelf quality in today's market, take a tip from the pros: don't just chase the highest THC percentage on the label. Look for "bag appeal" combined with a scent that truly jumps out at you. If you are a grower, the real magic right now is happening in the hybrids that bridge these two eras—think gassy Gelatos or sweet, Z-leaning OGs. Understanding the lineage of what you’re smoking helps you find a more consistent high. Whether you love the gas or the sugar, keeping an eye on these genetic shifts ensures you’re always staying ahead of the curve. < 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.
