Switzerland cannabis pilots are testing regulated pharmacy access against prohibition’s warnings. New SCRIPT interim results found no increase in consumption frequency among regular adult users and signs of lower-risk consumption, while a separate one-year pharmacy study found no mental-health deterioration. Pot Culture Magazine examines what the evidence says, and what it does not prove.
Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome is real, but the latest “scromiting” panic outruns the CDC data behind it. Pot Culture Magazine examines a new CHS diagnosis code, 199,565 emergency visits, a combined 15-to-24 age group, and the difference between a documented medical burden and an alarmist headline that turns hospital records into a teen weed emergency.
In Cannabis Lies Vol. 23, federal agencies turn an eight-point IQ finding into a sweeping warning about adolescent cannabis use. The number came from only 23 persistent adolescent-onset users in a New Zealand cohort. PCM returns to the original research, follows the claim into American policy, and exposes how scientific nuance became drug-war propaganda.
Pew’s May 26, 2026 report says only 11 percent of U.S. adults want marijuana illegal in all cases. Pot Culture Magazine examines what that means for cannabis legalization, federal marijuana law, employment testing, immigration policy, banking barriers, and the drug war machinery still protecting prohibition after the public moved on.
Legal cannabis is often blamed for rising traffic deaths, but federal data tells a more complicated story. NHTSA findings, toxicology limitations, and conflicting crash studies reveal that THC presence is not a reliable measure of impairment. This investigation breaks down how flawed testing and policy shortcuts have shaped the narrative around so-called stoned driving.
A new cannabis study claims marijuana does nothing for anxiety, depression, or PTSD. The reality is far more complicated. Decades of federal restrictions, limited research access, and synthetic substitutes have shaped the science. This breakdown exposes how incomplete data and selective interpretation continue to drive misleading headlines about cannabis and mental health.
