Thailand has lived a century of cannabis politics in less than a decade. From medical legalization in 2018 to decriminalization in 2022, a crackdown in 2025, and now the Cannabis King himself taking power as Prime Minister, the story is wild, contradictory, and global. Outlaw culture has found its throne in Southeast Asia.
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.
Pete Davidson’s claim that weed is “too strong” isn’t just a personal meltdown, it’s ammunition for prohibitionists eager to push THC caps and bad laws.

A group of licensed dispensaries is suing New York State after regulators admitted they approved stores using the wrong buffer zone measurements.

The Office of Cannabis Management’s zoning blunder has triggered legal chaos, broken trust, and exposed the fragility of New York’s so called cannabis reform.
