It’s disheartening to see Texas implementing such restrictive abortion laws, especially when many women may not even realize they are pregnant at six weeks. Activists must unite in their efforts to support reproductive rights and provide resources for those affected. Additionally, while we engage in serious discussions like this, we can also unwind by playing Uno Online, a perfect way to destress and connect with others amidst challenging times.

“It would behoove us to work together…to make sure that we—in my humble opinion—protect our constituents, but also protect an industry that I think is needed.” By Isiah Holmes, Wisconsin Examiner Wisconsin lawmakers are backing competing visions for the future of hemp in the state. One proposal, (SB 682), was discussed during a Thursday meeting of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Revenue. The bill would create a regulatory structure for hemp-derived cannabis products which would preserve the state’s hemp industry despite a federal ban set to take effect in November. Without state-level intervention, or the federal government choosing to reverse course, hemp growers and distributors fear that Wisconsin’s $700 million industry and about 3,500 jobs will disappear. Sen. Patrick Testin (R-Stevens Point), chair of the Agriculture and Revenue Committee presented the bipartisan hemp bill to his committee, which he authored with bipartisan support. Testin’s legislation would define hemp as cannabis plants with no more than 0.3 percent of delta-9 THC (or the maximum concentration allowable under federal law up to 1 percent, whichever is greater) and define “hemp-derived cannabinoids” as any such compound extracted from the hemp plant. THC concentrations would be determined using specific high-performance testing methods. Wisconsinites would need to be at least 21 years old to purchase hemp-derived cannabinoid products under the bill, which mandates that products undergo independent lab testing to ensure that they contain the amount and type of cannabinoids described on the product’s label. This practice, known as truth-in labeling, is something the hemp industry has called for in recent years. Products could not be sold under the bill without labeling including contact information for the manufacturer or brand owner, serving sizes per container of product, ingredient lists including allergens, potency labeled in milligrams and any necessary warnings. Under the bill, hemp-derived products could not contain more than 10 milligrams of THC in a single serving. Testin said Thursday that globally, the industrial hemp market was valued at roughly $11 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach $48 billion by 2032. “Despite its wide availability, the regulation of [hemp-derived cannabinoid] products is essentially non-existent, leaving a patchwork of different approaches taken by states across the country,” he said. In Wisconsin, such products “are generally recognized as legal but unregulated,” Testin said. “There are no state laws that restrict the sale to minors, regulate the potency or content of [hemp-derived cannabinoid products], or establish labeling or packaging requirements.” Minnesota, Kentucky, Tennessee and other states have moved to enact their own regulations, Testin said. “Regulations are needed to eliminate the current uncertainty regarding the status of [hemp-derived cannabinoid products], provide stability and certainty for businesses looking to enter this segment of the economy and enact public safety regulations.” Both Testin and Rep. Tony Kurtz (R-Wonewoc) have worked on hemp laws for Wisconsin since the federal Farm Bill passed in 2018. “I’ve actually grown hemp,” said Kurtz, recalling that in 2019 “it was kind of a wide open market.” People that Kurtz and others called “bad actors” throughout the hearing also rode the hemp wave, seeing it as a “get rich quick scheme.” Kurtz said that today, the hemp industry is filled with people who want to do the right thing, but that “bad actors” have persisted. Kurtz said SB 682 is designed to ensure that Wisconsinites “get the very best product, and they know what they’re getting.” He stressed that “if we do nothing, then hemp is going to be illegal at the federal level…but it will still be legal here in the state of Wisconsin. So I think it would behoove us to work together, get a good compromise, a good common sense piece of legislation to make sure that we—in my humble opinion—protect our constituents, but also protect an industry that I think is needed.” Although hemp would be illegal at the federal level, a state-level industry could still operate similarly to the way some states have fully legal recreational or legalized cannabis programs, largely because the federal government has not cracked down on those industries. Testin added that “regardless of anyone’s thoughts as it relates to cannabis and cannabinoids, it’s here. And obviously we have a lot of different approaches as to how to best move forward.” He repeatedly took aim at the “stupidity” of what he described as “our overlords” in Washington D.C., but also criticized other hemp-related bills being pushed in Wisconsin. Whereas some Republicans are seeking to ban hemp products outright, others have differing ideas about how a legal industry should be regulated. A bill introduced by Sen. Eric Wimberger (R-Oconto), SB 681, would require that manufacturers and distributors of hemp-derived cannabinoid products have permits. Products would be sold under a three-tier system, and would be regulated similarly to alcohol under the Division of Alcohol Beverages, a component of the Department of Revenue, which would be renamed to the Division of Intoxicating Products. Although both Testin and Wimberger’s bills have gained bipartisan support, Testin described Wimberger’s bill as “the dead bill” and “deader than dead.” Testin argued that SB 681 would over-regulate the hemp industry, and even lead to a monopolization effect where a small number of entities could control who gets hemp permits, shape an otherwise competitive market and operate in a “good ol’ boys club” manner. Sen. Sarah Keyeski (D-Lodi) highlighted the divide among state Republicans over hemp and cannabis products, stressing that Democrats are not the ones holding up legalization and regulation. The committee room was filled with people from across the hemp industry who listened to the conversation. When lawmakers questioned how to ensure that children do not acquire intoxicating hemp products, distributors and manufacturers pointed to age-verification software even for online sales, which require a photograph and image of a driver’s license to approve an order. There was also discussion about how to prevent products from being marketed to children using cartoon-like advertising and appealing candy wrappers. Some veterans testified, describing how hemp helped them alleviate pain, kick addictive pain killers, soothed PTSD symptoms and calmed the body for sleep. Other testimony centered on the danger involved in crossing state lines to Michigan or Illinois to acquire cannabis to treat various medical conditions. Hemp farmers stressed that they need to know now how they will be affected by a looming federal ban as they decide when or whether to plant their crops in the spring. Much of the public testimony was supportive of Testin’s bill, though some speakers said that it needed to be amended to protect farmers and growers, and also expand the kinds of products it would cover including drinks and gummies. “Yes, we are now in a scenario where there are intoxicating hemp products,” said Testin. “But just no different than anything like beer, wine or alcohol, we need to have some sensible regulations put in place, which this bill aims to do just that.” As for “concerns about getting baked or getting high from these products,” Testin added, “it’s no different than those individuals who go out and consume too many old fashioneds at fish fry on a Friday night, or have too many beers. It’s about personal choice and responsibility, but at the same time making sure that we have some regulations put in place.” The hemp industry deserves to “thrive and grow,” Testin said, while the public deserves protection and to know “that this stuff isn’t falling into the hands of people it shouldn’t be in, like kids.” This story was first published by Wisconsin Examiner.

“Pre-rolls are now a key component of any smart cannabis retail strategy. They are popular, easy to merchandise and serve as consumer entry points for new brands and formats.” By Harrison Bard, Custom Cones USA and DaySavers In today’s cannabis market, pre-rolls are no longer a novelty, they’re essential to retail success. Once seen as an add-on, pre-rolls have become one of the most dynamic and profitable product categories in the industry. According to 2025 Headset data, over 310.7 million pre-rolls were sold through October, generating nearly $2.8 billion in revenue across 13 recreational markets. That gives the category a 15.8 percent market share, third behind flower and vapes. In Canada, pre-rolls have even surpassed flower to become the country’s top-selling cannabis product. Driven by convenience, innovation and accessibility, pre-rolls consistently increase basket size, drive repeat visits and stabilize revenues, making them a core pillar of modern retail strategies. A Category Defined By Variety At its most basic, a pre-roll is a ready-to-smoke joint; flower packed into a pre-rolled cone or tube with a filter or crutch. But beneath that simplicity lies one of the most diverse and innovative corners of cannabis, with producers infusing concentrates, adding novelty filter tips, offering multi-packs and refining strain combinations to meet a wide range of consumer preferences. No cannabis product moves more units than pre-rolls. They are perfect for everyday use, sharing at parties and gifting, giving shoppers the opportunity to grab something quick and affordable, test a new strain or splurge on premium infused products combining flower and concentrate. So what are the top-selling segments of the pre-roll market? Infused Pre-Rolls: The Top Revenue Engine Infused pre-rolls dominate in both sales growth and margin contribution. These premium joints combine flower with concentrates like distillate, resin, hash and/or kief, delivering higher potencies and brighter flavors, two things consumers consistently tell us they look for when shopping. So far in 2025, infused pre-rolls have generated more than $1.1 billion, or 48.5 percent of all pre-roll revenues. That’s up 14 percent year-over-year. They now represent 38 percent of units sold, a 28 percent YOY increase. Given those figures, any dispensary without a wide selection of infused pre-rolls is leaving money on the table. Single Strain Hybrids: The Volume Leader While infused pre-rolls top the revenue charts, single strain hybrid pre-rolls move the most units. So far in 2025, this segment has notched about $987.4 million in sales (36.3 percent of category revenue) but leads in units sold at 142.8 million—46 percent of all pre-rolls sold, up 14 percent year-over-year. Hybrids remain the everyday go-to option for many cannabis consumers, so stocking a diverse selection of hybrid pre-rolls should help ensure a reliable and consistent source of revenue. Indica And Sativa: Maintaining Balance Sales drop off beyond hybrids, but Single Strain indica and sativa pre-rolls still represent crucial segments. Indica pre-rolls brought in $179.1 million in 2025, while sativas generated $160.5 million, an 8.6 percent jump year-over-year. In units, indicas sold roughly 26 million (up 11.3%) and sativas about 18.8 million (up 8.7 percent). Each accounts for roughly 6 percent of total category sales and are an important part of the retail balance. Mixed Strain And CBD Pre-Rolls: Niche But Important Mixed Strain pre-roll sales declined this year, with revenue down 15.9 percent to $51.9 million and units dropping 6.3 percent to 4.2 million. Single Strain CBD pre-rolls, representing just 0.16% of category revenue (~$4.6 million on 450,000 units), remain small but growing, up 14.4 percent from 2024. Though smaller, these segments serve loyal, niche audiences, so retailers should continue to stock limited but steady selections, monitored closely through POS data to prevent over-ordering. Blunts: Poised For Growth The blunt segment is a curious case. On paper, it accounts for only 0.47 percent of pre-roll revenue and 0.3 percent of units sold. However, survey data shows that blunts remain the third-most-preferred consumption method among users. A deeper analysis of the data tells a different story, since infused blunts are grouped within the infused category, skewing visibility. In fact, a closer look at the 200 top-selling products with “blunt” in their name shows $67 million in revenue across 3.5 million units sold. With this in mind, retailers should make sure to keep in stock a variety of pre-rolled blunts, especially infused blunts, to capture this growing audience segment. Trends In Packaging And Filter Tips The top package size in terms of units sold is 1-gram, though often that means multipacks of two half-gram pre-rolls. In fact, the vast majority of the top-selling pre-roll products are multi-packs of half-gram, or 84mm, pre-rolls. Also growing in popularity are smaller formats (e.g., “dogwalker” 0.3-g, 70 mm pre-rolls), which appeal to trial-minded shoppers. Multi-packs also generally carry higher margins and can satisfy both new and returning customers as they provide both trial-sized formats for experimentation and higher-quantity packs for loyalty and convenience. Filter tips are another differentiator. Premium tips—such as wood, glass or ceramic—enhance the smoking experience by cooling smoke and reducing particles/resin. These features can elevate the humble pre-rolled joint into a premium accessory, helping justify higher price points and reinforcing perceived value. Selling Strategies For Maximum Impact Pre-rolls make perfect impulse or upsell items and are ideally positioned near the register, with clear pricing and eye-catching displays. Like candy at a grocery checkout, they make a great add-on to any basket. It’s also key to make sure your budtenders are trained on the strains, infusion types and packaging options so they can suggest pairings or introduce shoppers to new formats, particularly since budtender advice is a top mover of product. Finally, stay data-driven. Use your POS analytics to track sales and adjust inventory accordingly to avoid overstocking or missing out on trending segments. Final Thoughts Pre-rolls are now a key component of any smart cannabis retail strategy. They are popular, easy to merchandise and serve as consumer entry points for new brands and formats. A balanced pre-roll program that offers a variety of strain, size and pricing options can help dispensaries increase revenue, expand basket totals and strengthen customer loyalty. Pair that with quality POS data tracking and analysis, and your store can turn pre-roll momentum into lasting, dependable growth. Harris Bard is CEO and co-founder of Custom Cones USA and DaySavers.

“Many small businesses simply cannot absorb this level of cost and will be forced to shut down rather than renew.” By Stephen Simpson, The Texas Tribune Texas state health officials have proposed raising licensing fees by as much as 13,000 percent for some hemp businesses, among a slate of changes that many industry members and advocates say will shutter small operations in favor of large out-of-state companies. Supporters of this change say this is necessary to strengthen oversight on an industry that they say has grown out of control. Late last month, the Texas Department of State Health Services published a set of proposed rules to tighten regulations on consumable hemp products, including establishing a minimum purchasing age of 21, along with age verification requirements and mandatory product recalls, which are measures that the hemp industry supports. However, two of the proposed rules that have caused the most heartburn among advocates and businesses are new testing requirements and increases in licensing fees. Manufacturer licenses would increase from $250 to $25,000 per facility per year and retail registrations from $150 to $20,000 per location per year, an increase of over 13,000 percent. Industry members say the new requirements on testing THC levels in consumable hemp products would eliminate the use of the hemp flower in manufacturing products like edibles and smokables because hemp flowers naturally contain THC levels higher than the new limit. They say eliminating the use of hemp flowers would allow more synthetically derived THC, such as delta-9, to flourish. “The proposed rules wipe out about 80 percent of what all shops sell, including ours, which is natural hemp flower, and the total THC rule would definitely just wipe that out,” Scott Stubb, owner of Kemah-based Sublingwell Cannabinoids and Euphorics, told the state health agency during a public hearing on the rules Friday. “Then you add the fees being $20,000 for each shop, I don’t know, honestly, how we would be able to stay open.” Hemp distributors said the new licensing fee is a fundamental restructuring of who can afford to operate legally in Texas. “DSHS’s fiscal analysis assumes that nearly all currently registered retailers will pay the proposed $20,000 fee, generating more than $200 million in annual revenue. This assumption is unrealistic. Many small businesses simply cannot absorb this level of cost and will be forced to shut down rather than renew,” said Heather Fazio, director of the Texas Cannabis Policy Center, in a statement submitted for public comment. Fazio said the licensing and registration fees should be structured to recover the reasonable costs of effective regulation, not to function as a revenue mechanism that drives businesses out of the regulated market. “The department’s own estimates show that the increased costs of administering these rules are minimal. In that context, it is unclear why such dramatic fee increases are necessary or justified,” she said. Supporters of the licensing fee increase said this is a necessary step to protect children from hemp products and want more enforcement of penalties on hemp stores that operate without a license. “Cannabis advocates say this is a billion-dollar industry. It’s fair and appropriate for the people who profit from selling a billion dollars in intoxicating products to create fees that help cover the cost associated with the regulation and societal burden of the product,” Betsy Jones, director of policy and strategy at Texans for Safe and Drug-Free Youth, told the state health agency. Aubree Adams, director of Citizens for a Safe and Healthy Texas, called for more regulations on the industry, including raising the minimum age to purchase to 25 and requiring that hemp businesses also help pay for public education, data collection, treatment, infrastructure and more. “This issue before the state is the normalization and promotion of retail teams driven by chemical manipulation and misleading information,” she said Multiple veterans also spoke out against eliminating products naturally derived from hemp flower because many rely on them to sleep or address issues like PTSD and anxiety. “I spent 16 months overseas and used a lot of different pharmaceuticals that were dangerous and caused seizures and physical harm to me. These health products have given me my life back and allowed me to go back to work,” said Adam Peterson, a combat veteran from San Antonio. “A total ban on the THC will basically eliminate access to good medicine that is actually helpful for me.” Fazio said removing regulated access to hemp flower will not eliminate consumer demand. It will just push people back into the unregulated market. “The outcome runs counter to the public-health objectives these rules are meant to advance,” she said. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and the Texas Department of State Health Services have both proposed new rules aimed at regulating the consumable hemp market to fulfill an executive order by Gov. Greg Abbott (R). The two agencies are working together because neither has jurisdiction over the entire landscape of retailers that sell consumable hemp products. For example, TABC rules wouldn’t apply to 8,000 licensed hemp retailers who fall under the Department of State Health Services, including smoke shops, gas stations, and online retailers that do not sell liquor and presumably do not hold a liquor license. The same can be said for 60,000 TABC license holders, such as restaurants and liquor stores. TABC has not yet proposed any changes to their licensing fees for businesses selling consumable hemp products. The executive order came after the Texas Legislature spent the better part of last year debating whether to ban consumable hemp products or just provide stricter regulations over the industry. A total ban approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate was vetoed by Abbott last summer. The governor then put THC regulation on the agenda for two consecutive special sessions, but lawmakers were unable to find a compromise before the end of the second session. Rather than call a third special session, Abbott issued his executive order, bypassing the Legislature. The decision has put Abbott at odds with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), who has been an ardent supporter of a ban on consumable hemp products. After months of uncertainty over the Legislature’s consideration of a total ban, THC industry representatives largely celebrated Abbott’s order at the time, saying it would allow THC to further establish itself as a legitimate industry in the state. However, some members of the industry consider the proposed rules very similar to a ban. “When the governor vetoed that bill, he was amplifying our voices and adopting the fee structure from that same bill undermines that outcome,” Hayden Meek, owner of Denton-based Delta Denton, said. “A $20,000 fee is dropped in the bucket for multi-state corporations; for a single location shop like mine, it’s a death by 20,000 cuts.” This article first appeared on The Texas Tribune.

Massachusetts reached a marijuana sales milestone in 2025, with $1.65 billion in adult-use sales for the year—bringing the state’s total legal cannabis purchases to over $10 billion since the recreational market launched, officials announced on Thursday. A top regulator also said that the forthcoming addition of social consumption lounges could give the industry a further boost in 2026, and that President Donald Trump’s directive to federally reschedule cannabis will create more research opportunities in the state. The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) released the latest data on Thursday, while indicating that officials anticipate an even higher sales record this year as the state prepares to launch a new license category or social consumption lounges. When combining recreational and medical sales for 2025, the state saw about $1.8 billion in legal marijuana purchases for the year. Overall since 2018, there have been about $10.8 billion in combined medical and recreational cannabis sales. “The cannabis industry in Massachusetts continued to mature in 2025 with the number of cannabis businesses reaching the highest point since adult-use sales began in 2018,” CCC Chair Shannon O’Brien said in a press release. “While gross sales remain high, the Commission will look to remove regulatory hurdles in 2026 through the new Red Tape Removal Committee, which will help licensees stabilize and plan for the future as the industry continues to evolve.” Marijuana Establishments in Massachusetts generated over $1.65 billion in sales in 2025, setting a new annual record for the Commonwealth’s cannabis industry. Learn more: https://t.co/8ZLLrTb6VS pic.twitter.com/1mocjXEq5h — Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (@MA_Cannabis) January 8, 2026 Travis Ahern, executive director of CCC, said that beyond the social consumption lounge expansion, Trump’s order to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) will bring benefits to the state. “Commissioners and staff are hard at work preparing for a potential expansion of the industry related to social consumption and the prospect of new research opportunities should the federal government reschedule cannabis,” he said. “With critical changes on the horizon, the Commission remains focused on adapting its policies, protocols, and oversight in a way that continues building out a safe, equitable, and effective cannabis industry for Massachusetts.” Massachusetts marijuana retailers recorded a new annual record of 46.3 million transactions in 2025, CCC said, which is roughly 3.4 million more than in the prior year. In the background, Massachusetts election officials have scheduled a hearing to investigate a complaint challenging the signature gathering process for a proposed ballot initiative to roll back the state’s marijuana legalization law. That came about two weeks after the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Elections Division confirmed that the anti-cannabis campaign collected enough valid signatures to send the measure to lawmakers for consideration ahead of potentially being placed on the November ballot. As detailed in the recent complaint, the campaign has been marred with controversy over allegedly misleading signature gathering tactics. There have been claims that paid petitioners used fake cover letters for other ballot measures on issues like affordable housing and same-day voter registration. The state attorney general’s office has confirmed it’s received complaints to that end. And an association of state marijuana businesses urged voters to report to local officials if they observe any instances of “fraudulent message” or other deceitful petitioning tactics. The campaign has denied the allegations. Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s (D) office—which cleared the campaign for signature gathering in September—has stressed to voters the importance of reading their summary, which is required to go at the top of the signature form, before signing any petitions. The Massachusetts legislature received the initiative for consideration on Wednesday when the 2026 session kicked off. Unless it’s invalidated, lawmakers have until May 5 to act on the proposal. If they choose not to enact it legislatively, the campaign would need to go through another round of petitioning and get at least 12,429 certified signatures by July 1 to make the November ballot. Meanwhile, the head of Massachusetts’s marijuana regulatory agency recently suggested that the measure to effectively recriminalize recreational cannabis sales could imperil tax revenue that’s being used to support substance misuse treatment efforts and other public programs. Massachusetts lawmakers recently assembled a bicameral conference committee to reach a deal on a bill that would double the legal marijuana possession limit for adults and revise the regulatory framework for the state’s adult-use cannabis market. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

State lawmakers have also been considering setting tighter restrictions on intoxicating hemp-derived products and a plan to allow individual entities to control a larger number of cannabis establishments. Also in Massachusetts, legislators who were working on a state budget butted heads with CCC officials, who’ve said they can’t make critical technology improvements without more money from the legislature. Massachusetts lawmakers additionally approved a bill to establish a pilot program for the regulated therapeutic use of psychedelics. And two committees have separately held hearings to discuss additional psilocybin-related measures. Photo courtesy of Brian Shamblen.
