Very Naughty(!)

A German octogenarian has been given his “last warning” to avoid jail for selling cannabis following a previous 24 convictions. Interesting to see this sort of thing play out in parallel with a nationwide push toward a legal market. Doesn’t reek of hypocrisy at all. Honest…

Need For Feed

Thailand is getting a lot of love for its exploding weed scene. But some farmers, as part of a study by Chiang Mai University, have spent the last year feeding their chickens cannabis seed as a replacement for antibiotics. Clucking hell.

Name In Lights

Ok, this doesn’t sound very exciting, but it’s a big deal for the version of cannabis that doesn’t get anywhere near enough love. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is renaming a trade advisory committee to feature hemp in its name – as part of a group of specialty crops. That means they actually see the value of it. Very important.

Yes Know

If you hadn’t already guessed we love a pun. So when New Mexico rolls out a public education campaign on the legal status of cannabis and it’s literally a play on words, well hot damn we get all excited (!).

Cali Café

Something we think is really missing from the cannabis scene in North America is the wonderful fusion of food, drink, and pot. Grey market social clubs offer this brilliant combo all over Europe but can they find a place in the US of A? Well, a new bill in California might help tip the scales.

Thinking Of Dipping A Toe

The Mayor of the small French town of Bègles has highlighted an interest in acting as a testing ground for the production, sale, and consumption of cannabis. Sounds like a no brainer to us, but can Clément Rossignol Puech convince the big wigs?
