The South Carolina Senate passed a bill restricting the sale of hemp-derived THC products to adults over 21, limiting THC content in beverages and gummies and designating specific retail locations for sales. The legislation aims to keep intoxicating hemp products out of the hands of children while establishing regulations for an industry previously operating through legal loopholes. < Back South Carolina Senate Approves Restricted Hemp THC Drinks and Gummies Mar 22, 2026 Source: Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link South Carolina’s hemp scene just dodged a major bullet. After a wild legislative rollercoaster that included a late-night rejection, the State Senate finally passed a compromise bill to keep hemp-derived THC drinks and gummies legal. While some politicians pushed for a total ban, the new rules focus on regulation over prohibition. Moving forward, adults 21 and over can find 10mg THC servings at liquor stores, while gas stations and vape shops are limited to 5mg beverages kept strictly behind the counter. This is a massive win for local enthusiasts and small business owners who were facing an industry-wide shutdown. While the 10mg cap is a bit restrictive for high-tolerance users, keeping these products accessible in a state where marijuana remains illegal is a huge step for the community. For everyday tokers, this means your favorite infused refreshments aren't disappearing, but you'll need to be mindful of where you shop. It’s a solid example of how reasonable regulation can protect adult access while addressing safety concerns. < 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.

A Republican Pennsylvania senator, Dan Laughlin, believes that supporters of marijuana legalization are gaining votes to pass reform this session. He states that people prefer legalizing cannabis for revenue rather than increasing taxes to balance the budget. Laughlin, along with Sen. Sharif Street, introduced a bill to legalize adult-use cannabis. There are also other proposals, including a House companion version, under consideration. Despite previous setbacks, lawmakers are optimistic about passing a bill that would also include sealing and expunging cannabis-related convictions. However, there are conflicting views on the model of cannabis sales (state-run vs. private businesses) and the political dynamic with a GOP-controlled Senate. Despite these challenges, polls show strong public support for legalization. The governor also supports legalization, emphasizing economic benefits and public safety. < Back Pennsylvania Legalization Gains Momentum: GOP Senator Says Support is Growing During Budget Talks Jul 17, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The momentum for legal weed in Pennsylvania is hitting a new high as a bipartisan push for adult-use sales picks up speed in the state legislature. Republican Senator Dan Laughlin and Democratic Senator Sharif Street are leading the charge, noting that lawmakers are starting to prefer cannabis tax revenue over the dreaded alternative of a general tax hike to balance the budget. While previous attempts were shut down in the GOP-led Senate, new proposals—including one favoring private retail over state-run stores—are currently on the table. This is a massive win for the local community because it signals that even conservative lawmakers are finally acknowledging that prohibition is a failed experiment. For tokers, this means we’re inching closer to a safe, regulated market that prioritizes transparency and accessibility while finally addressing social justice through record expungement. As neighboring states continue to rake in tax dollars from Pennsylvanians crossing state lines, the pressure is on for the Commonwealth to finally stop stalling and join the party. < 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.

pH refers to the level of alkalinity or acidity of a liquid substance, measured on a scale of 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. For cannabis plants, an optimum pH range of 5.2 to 5.9 is recommended for fast-growing, leafy plants, and 5.2 for optimal elemental uptake in inert growing media. Measuring pH can be done with a pH kit, and adjustment involves adding saltpeter, sulfuric acid, or phosphorous to lower alkaline pH, or calcium carbonate, lime, or potash to raise low pH. Proper handling of chemicals involves using glass or plastic, and adding small amounts to the nutrient solution gradually. Flushing the system with pH-balanced water every couple of weeks is important to prevent salt accumulation. Growers can adjust pH before and after adding nutrients to ensure a desired range. < Back What’s pH? Understanding and Measuring pH in Your Grow Room Sep 4, 2025 Source: Thomas Valentine Cannabis Now Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link What’s pH? This is a question that usually makes new growers scratch their heads and reach for the pipe. The term pH refers to the level of alkalinity or acidity of a liquid substance. The pH scale starts at 0 and rises to 14. A value of 7.0 is considered neutral, with values over 7.0 being alkaline and values below 7.0 being acidic. The liquid is the nutrient solution being used to grow a healthy cannabis plant. The nutrient solution is basically a cocktail of various chemicals. These chemicals can react to each other in a process called covalent bonding and form new chemicals that the plant can’t effectively use. This process of covalent bonding is largely dependent on the pH of the solution the chemicals are suspended in, in this case water. With the chemicals being used in the average hydroponic solution, a chemist would say that the optimum pH would be 7.0, which is neutral. In keeping the solution neutral, covalent bonding of the constituent parts of the solution will be kept to a minimum. However, since cannabis plants like a different pH level for optimum growth, it’s okay to lower the pH and take the slight loss of nutrient value. Fast growing, leafy plants generally like a lower pH in the range of 5.2 to 5.9. Fortunately, a lower pH will bond fewer nutrients than a higher pH will. If the pH value goes beyond the optimum range of 5.2 to 5.9, undesirable levels of nutritional deficiency and toxicity will occur, both of which can seriously impede plant growth. Be vigilant. In researching the various hydroponic methods in use, most of the growing media like rockwool, pea gravel and sand is relatively inert. That means the growing medium won’t react with the nutrients in the solution. For those methods that use inert media, a pH of 5.2 is recommended for optimal elemental uptake. It is at this pH level that the roots will assimilate the nutrients in the solution most efficiently. If the root has to work less to assimilate the required nutrients, the rest of the plant will benefit. *Measuring and Adjusting pH* Measuring pH is relatively easy and there are quite a few choices in terms of methods. The most inexpensive and low-tech method for measuring just requires purchasing a pH kit and taking a sample from the nutrient solution. After following the directions, use the color chart to determine the pH of the solution. This low-tech solution poses some obvious limitations, not the least of which is the difficulty in deciding which color is closest if you’ve been into the fruits of your previous harvest. The kits typically sell for $5 to $10. If the pH isn’t the appropriate level for your plant, knowing what chemical to add to the nutrient solution and when is paramount to success as a grower. When the pH level is alkaline, meaning the pH level is above seven, it can be lowered with saltpeter, sulfuric acid or phosphorous. When the pH value is too low, it can be raised with calcium carbonate, lime or potash. Most fertilizers cause a pH change in the nutrient solution. Adding fertilizer to the nutrient solution almost always results in a more acidic pH, so adjust accordingly. *Proper Handling* Handling all of these chemicals safely is important. As a general rule, never use metal. Instead opt for glass or plastic or the nutrients will react with the elements in the metal and mess up the nutrient ratios. Never add the acid to the vat of nutrient. Fill a small glass container with the nutrient to be balanced and add a few drops of the necessary chemical. Stir it in well and add small amounts at a time to the large vat of nutrient until the proper pH balance is achieved. As time goes on, the amount of salts produced by the breakdown of fertilizers in the medium causes it to become increasingly acidic. Eventually, the concentration of these salts in the medium will stunt the plant and cause browning out of the foliage. As the plant gets older, its roots become less effective in bringing food to the leaves. To avoid the accumulation of these salts in the medium and to ensure that the plant is getting all of the food it needs, be sure to flush the system with clean, pH-balanced water every couple of weeks. Do this in lieu of that cycle’s feeding. There’s always been a big debate over when to adjust your pH – before and after you add nutrients to the water, or just after. The truth is, growers can do both. The reasoning for doing both is that water is rarely dead on neutral. It’s either acidic or alkaline, depending on the region. Render the water neutral first by bringing it to a pH of 7.0. Then add the nutrients to that chemically-neutral solution and adjust to the desired range within 5.2 to 5.9 pH. Because there are so many factors that go into the delicate art of cultivating cannabis, learning how to properly measure and adjust the pH balance on nutrient solutions will have a clear effect on the appearance, potency and health of cannabis plants. Practicing and perfecting this step will be what makes a grower’s crop stand out from the crowd. *TELL US*, have you taken pH into consideration when growing cannabis plants? The post What’s pH?

A new UC San Diego study found that while one-third of Californians use cannabis regularly, there are significant gaps in their knowledge about cannabis use and driving laws, even six years after legalization. The Impact 64 study surveyed over 4,000 cannabis users and revealed mixed awareness of regulations, such as containers needing to be unopened in a moving vehicle and the laws against smoking/ingesting cannabis while driving. The findings emphasize the need for targeted education initiatives to promote safe driving practices and public safety. < Back Survey: Californians Don’t Know Cannabis Driving Laws Oct 24, 2025 Source: Mg Magazine Newswire MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *SAN DIEGO, Calif.* — A new study from University of California San Diego has found that, while a third of Californians use cannabis regularly, there are significant gaps in knowledge around cannabis use and driving. The researchers found that even six years after the legalization of recreational cannabis use, adults in California demonstrate mixed awareness and knowledge of driving-related laws and regulations. The study results, published in *BMC Public Health*, come from a large-scale survey of cannabis use in California, titled Impact 64, which was funded by the California Department of Cannabis Control and surveyed over 4,000 Californians who currently use cannabis. “Many people who currently use cannabis are unaware of regulations and laws around driving and cannabis use, putting themselves and others at risk,” said the study’s first author Sara Baird, MD, associate physician diplomate at the UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science. “There is a clear need for targeted education initiatives to address these knowledge gaps and promote safe driving practices.” As cannabis use becomes more mainstream, concerns about its risks to public health, such as impaired driving, have increased. In order to mitigate these risks, the Impact 64 study gathered both qualitative and quantitative data about cannabis use in California through an online questionnaire. This included questions about the driving-related provisions of Proposition 64, such as the requirement that all cannabis containers in a vehicle be unopened and that drivers and passengers cannot smoke or ingest cannabis in a moving vehicle. “One of the unique strengths of the Impact 64 study is its comprehensive and representative design,” said Thomas Marcotte, PhD, the study’s senior author, co-principal investigator of Impact 64, professor of psychiatry and co-director of the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at UC San Diego School of Medicine. “This data paints a detailed picture of how many people in California are using cannabis and what they understand about the laws governing its use.” The researchers found: - 64% of current cannabis users reported feeling safe to drive 3 hours or less after inhalation of flower products (e.g. smoking, dry herb vaping), and 55% felt safe to drive 5 hours or less after consumption of edible cannabis products. - Only 59% were aware that any container of cannabis inside a moving vehicle must be unopened and sealed, including if stored in the trunk. - 62% of current cannabis users were aware that drivers and passengers cannot smoke or ingest cannabis in a moving vehicle, and 73% knew it was true that driving under the influence of cannabis can result in a DUI citation and/or arrest. - Those with lower knowledge of Prop 64 driving related regulations were more likely to ever have been pulled over or involved in a crash while under the influence of cannabis. “We need to educate the public about the risks of driving under the influence of cannabis and the laws that are in place to protect public safety,” said Linda Hill, MD, MPH, principal investigator of Impact 64, distinguished professor at the UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science, and affiliate faculty at the Qualcomm Institute. “Our study highlights the need for targeted education initiatives for cannabis users and medical providers.” Read the full study.

Ohio House lawmakers approved an amended Senate-passed bill that significantly alters the state's voter-approved marijuana legalization law and introduces new regulations for hemp, aiming to align the two sectors. The bill includes same potency and advertising restrictions for hemp as marijuana, permits the sale of hemp-derived THC beverages (with limits on THC content and new taxes), and restricts where intoxicating hemp products can be sold to licensed dispensaries. Controversial provisions remain, such as the elimination of anti-discrimination protections for cannabis users and the recriminalization of possessing marijuana not sourced from a state-licensed dispensary or home grow. Advocates are concerned the bill rolls back voter-enacted freedoms. Unlike the Senate version, the House substitute will send tax revenue from cannabis sales to local governments. The bill also includes a process for expunging prior cannabis possession convictions. < Back Ohio Lawmakers Move Forward with Bill to Scale Back Voter-Approved Cannabis Law and Add Hemp Rules Oct 21, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Ohio lawmakers are shaking things up with a new bill that significantly tweaks the marijuana legalization law voters passed in 2023. The House Judiciary Committee recently advanced a plan to align the hemp and marijuana industries, which means new potency limits and advertising rules for hemp-derived products. While it opens the door for hemp THC beverages in breweries, it also restricts where you can buy intoxicating hemp, moving those sales into licensed dispensaries and away from gas stations. However, it’s not all good news for the community. Advocates are rightfully concerned because the bill strips away some anti-discrimination protections for users and could actually recriminalize possession if the stash isn't from a state-licensed shop or home grow. On the plus side, it does include an expedited pathway for expunging prior possession convictions. For everyday tokers, this matters because it shows that while the market is maturing, we have to stay vigilant to ensure the freedoms we voted for aren't watered down by legislative red tape. Keeping the community safe and legal remains the top priority. < 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 strain's therapeutic profile is driven by a terpene blend led by myrcene, which provides herbal notes and muscle-relaxing benefits; caryophyllene, which adds a spicy kick and anti-inflammatory properties; and pinene, which contributes a forest-like aroma while helping to balance the heavy sedation.
