The ink was barely dry on President Trump’s cannabis rescheduling order when the same question started bouncing around boardrooms, Discords, and trader timelines: Does this mean cannabis can finally uplist to the NYSE or Nasdaq? Short answer: no. Longer answer: also no, and maybe stop treating Wall Street like it’s the finish line. Schedule III
How a nationwide DEA dragnet in 1989 turned garden shops into crime scenes, and taught the War on Drugs to police an idea. The first light of dawn had barely bled over the strip mall when the shutters screeched open. A dozen black-clad agents spilled out of unmarked vans. They smashed glass, padlocked doors, and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has reached a level of everyday intimacy where it’s starting to feel like a friend. We argue over dinner recipes, plan trips, ask how to fix things around the house, and sometimes even bring our personal dilemmas to it (an intimacy that, as we’re learning, doesn’t always come without risks). This is
Editor’s Note: High Times has long supported the removal of cannabis from Schedule I and ultimately federal descheduling. The following guest column reflects the legal analysis of the author and examines what current rescheduling efforts do (and do not) mean for today’s cannabis operators. By Jason W.

BHO started as a hydrocarbon experiment, often using raw butane and DIY rigs that carried risks. Even with today’s refined, regulated extraction systems, solventless options like rosin and hash remain the purest way to consume cannabis without chemical solvents or complicated gear. Before Colorado had dispensaries, regulations, compliance trackers, or certificate-of-analysis stickers, it already had
On occasion, geography offers up some profoundly useful glitches. Other times, with skill and ingenuity, humankind turns that geography into an asset. And in the case of the park bench that stars in this story, you’d swear the hand of God intervened purely for the people’s enjoyment. In Plaza Abaroa, in La Paz’s posh Sopocachi
Wiz Khalifa has been sentenced to nine months in prison in Romania for lighting up a joint on stage during a music festival. A small amount of cannabis in a country with little tolerance, a crowd packed with young fans (something judges said worsened the offense), and a criminal ruling that crossed borders. According to
Charcoal filters have quietly become one of the most successful products in modern cannabis culture.
