NY’s legal cannabis shops reach new high, more than doubling in a year

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on NY’s legal cannabis shops reach new high, more than doubling in a year

💨 The number of legal cannabis shops in New York State nearly doubled in a year, reaching a new high of more than 550 shops, state regulators said Friday.

The state’s Office of Cannabis Management said 556 licensed adult-use dispensaries had opened in the state as of Nov. 30., nearly doubling from the 261 dispensaries in 2024.

About a third of the dispensaries, more than 200, have opened in New York City.

Legal sales of cannabis have topped $2.5 billion since legalization in 2021, generating more than $360 million in tax revenue for the state.

“It’s a great thing,” said Ajaie Gibson, co-founder of Nonna Farms, adding the state has turned things around following an initially rocky rollout.

Osbert Orduña, the owner of Cannabis Place in Middle Village, said that while “it’s a good thing overall,” disabled veterans who were supposed to be given priority have also been smoked out, “lost in application queues that have thousands and thousands of applicants.”

What the federal marijuana policy shift means for cannabis use and research

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on What the federal marijuana policy shift means for cannabis use and research

President Trump signed an executive order reclassifying the federal status of marijuana, categorizing it as a drug with less potential for harm and dependence. It’s a major shift in policy that could have wide-ranging effects on cannabis use and research. William Brangham discussed more with Beau Kilmer of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center.

Still no medical marijuana license for Black farmer

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Medical. No Comments on Still no medical marijuana license for Black farmer

The Department of Health is under fire because it has still not issued a medical marijuana license to a Black farmer. Lawmakers grilled the department to find out what is responsible for the delay on Thursday. When the Legislature passed its medical marijuana law in 2017, one grower’s license was reserved for a Black farmer.

Easy cannabis chocolate bites / quick & easy edibles

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Baking. No Comments on Easy cannabis chocolate bites / quick & easy edibles

Hi guys!

Let’s cut to the chase: cannabutter is not hard to make.
I did the following:
Grind 2gr of plant
In a tin foil lined tray bake in the oven at 120 degrees celsius for 30 mins
Melt butter on lowest heat and add “cooked” plant,add 25/50ml water and leave on lowest heat for 40 mins to an hour as the quantity is small.
Stirring occasionally.I am personally not bothered by the bits so decide for yourself if you wanna strain it at the end or not.
That is it!
From there follow the steps in the video.
I used 3 bars of dark chocolate and 125gr butter.
**These need to be kept refrigerated as they will melt! **

Hope you find this recipe helpful,it’s just quick and easy.
For educational purposes only.

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on People are hearing that marijuana may be moved from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 and they think, ‘Great,

People are hearing that marijuana may be moved from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 and they think, ‘Great, that fixes immigration problems.’ It doesn’t. Let me give you two real-world examples. Example one: You work on a marijuana farm. It’s legal under state law. You’re not selling on the street. You’re doing everything by the book. For immigration purposes, that can still be a problem. Why? Because marijuana would still be a federally controlled substance. Schedule 3 is still a schedule. Immigration law does not care that the state says it’s legal. Example two: You’re a non-citizen. You admit to smoking weed, even casually, even where it’s legal. No arrest. No conviction. That admission alone can still trigger immigration consequences, especially at the border or during a green card interview. Here’s the key point people are missing. Immigration law does not say ‘Schedule 1 drugs.’ It says controlled substances. Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Schedule 3 , it doesn’t matter. If marijuana stays on any federal schedule, immigration treats it as a drug. So yes, states may allow it. Yes, federal criminal penalties may soften. But for immigration, marijuana is still risky until it’s completely removed from the schedules or Congress changes the law. If you’re not a U.S. citizen, do not assume marijuana is safe just because the headlines say so. I’m Brad Bernstein, immigration lawyer in New York. If your status matters, get legal advice before you guess. #legalize #immigration #marijuana #weed #immigrationlawyer

Trump’s Scandalous Marijuana Reclassification

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Medical. No Comments on Trump’s Scandalous Marijuana Reclassification

The federal government has officially announced plans to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, marking the first time it has formally acknowledged medical benefits.

ORGANIC FROZEN BAG | A START TO FINISH CANNABIS GROW DOCUMENTARY

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Grow. No Comments on ORGANIC FROZEN BAG | A START TO FINISH CANNABIS GROW DOCUMENTARY

This is Organic Frozen Bag from start to finish — the full journey, not just the highlights.

I documented every stage of this grow, every choice, and how it all came together in the end. No fast cuts, no skipping steps — just the real process from the first day to the final result.

What makes this one different is what happens as the grow progresses. Small decisions early on lead to big changes later, and the final outcome tells the whole story.

If you’re curious how a project like this actually unfolds over time, watch this all the way through. The later stages change how you look at everything that came before.

Ohio Rolls Back Legal Weed? Governor DeWine Signs Cannabis & Hemp Crackdown

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Ohio Rolls Back Legal Weed? Governor DeWine Signs Cannabis & Hemp Crackdown

Ohio voters approved marijuana legalization — but now Governor Mike DeWine is set to sign a bill rolling back key parts of that law while cracking down on hemp-derived THC products.

The new legislation could limit access, tighten regulations, and reshape Ohio’s cannabis and hemp markets just months after legalization passed. Supporters say it’s about safety and oversight. Critics argue it undermines voter intent and hands control back to lawmakers.

We break down what’s actually in the bill, how it affects legal marijuana and hemp products, and why Ohio’s cannabis future is suddenly uncertain.

Is this smart regulation — or a step backward for legal weed?

Canna-Facts: Myths, Facts & Misconceptions about Cannabis

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Facts. No Comments on Canna-Facts: Myths, Facts & Misconceptions about Cannabis

Research about cannabis continues to evolve in Canada. As new information emerges, it is important to be able to differentiate between facts, myths and misconceptions to avoid risks of cannabis-related harm, particularly for youth and new or first-time cannabis consumers.

“Canna-Facts” explores evidence and research through a series of trivia questions to confirm facts, dispel myths and clarify misunderstandings about cannabis in order to promote informed understanding and safe decision-making for youth in Canada.

Join us as we examine subjects such as:

– If cannabis is a natural plant, does this mean it’s risk-free?
– What laws in the cannabis act affect youth in Canada?
– What impacts does cannabis use have on athletics and academics?
– How may cannabis use affect mental health?
– What do Canadians need to know about cannabis-impaired driving?
– What is the difference between smoking joints, vaping and edible cannabis?
– What possible risks exist for both youth and adults (together or separately) when considering cannabis use?
– What harm reduction strategies can be considered to promote lower risk cannabis use?

YCAP takes a harm reduction approach toward recreational cannabis use. YCAP does not make value judgments regarding recreational cannabis use, rather seeks to minimize risks associated with cannabis use by providing the most accurate and unbiased information.

Folks, this was a whiplash week for cannabis law.

The U.S. Supreme Court just refused to hear a case that could have blown up federal marijuana prohibition — leaving state-legal cannabis businesses stuck under a federal ban that everyone admits makes no sense anymore.

And then…
BOOM.

President Trump signed an executive order that does what the Court wouldn’t:
➡️ Orders marijuana’s move to Schedule III
➡️ Acknowledges cannabis has accepted medical use
➡️ Forces the federal government to finally catch up with reality

In this episode of Cannabis Legalization News, we break down exactly what happened — and why this moment matters more than most people realize.

🧠 WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

🌿 Supreme Court Rejects Cannabis Challenge
Why SCOTUS refused to revisit Gonzales v. Raich — and why that keeps legalization stuck in Congress, not the courts.

🧪 Synthetic Cannabinoids Flooding Smoke Shops
A lawsuit exposes how chemically-engineered intoxicants — many allegedly sourced from China — are being sold as “hemp” under the Farm Bill loophole.

⚖️ Missouri Cracks Down on Predatory Cannabis Contracts
New rules target investors stripping social-equity license holders of real ownership — and why this fight is coming to every state.

🍸 Illinois Makes Cocktails-to-Go Permanent
Alcohol gets more freedom, fewer hoops, and permanent take-home privileges — while cannabis still can’t cross state lines. Make it make sense.

👴 Howard Kessler & Cannabis for Seniors
Inside the Commonwealth Project and the growing push to use cannabinoid-based therapies for Americans 65+, backed by real-world data and medical partnerships.

🏛️ THE BIG ONE: TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDER
The White House orders:
• Marijuana rescheduled to Schedule III
• Massive expansion of cannabis & CBD research
• New federal framework for hemp-derived cannabinoids

This isn’t legalization — but it’s the biggest federal cannabis admission we’ve ever seen.

🚨 THE BOTTOM LINE

The courts won’t save cannabis.
Congress is dragging its feet.
But the executive branch just moved the needle — hard.

This episode proves one thing:
Prohibition is cracking — and we’re watching it happen in real time.
