Chasing the highest THC number is a scam. Inflated lab results, marketing hype, and consumer obsession turned cannabis into a scoreboard. Here’s why THC percentages don’t mean what you think, and how to choose better flower, find honest growers, and trust your own high instead of the label.
Google’s Canadian pilot program allowing cannabis ads exposes the deep hypocrisy in U.S. policy. While alcohol and gambling flood media, cannabis remains censored, costing legal businesses billions and reinforcing stigma. This shift could signal the start of global change.
Thailand went from Asia’s most progressive cannabis market to pulling the plug in just three years. What began as a billion-dollar boom is now being dismantled by new laws, political shifts, and narcotic reclassification. Farmers, shop owners, and patients face an uncertain future as the government rewrites the rules and erases the promised era.
