Cannabis in 2026 – Part II- Hemp Tightening in 2026—The Compliance Cliff, CBD Carve-Out Signals, and Business Risk
by Sarah A. K. Blitz on January 28, 2026
While federal marijuana policy trends toward less restrictive treatment, hemp faces a sharp regulatory contraction. Late 2025 legislation narrowed what qualifies as lawful hemp and squarely targeted intoxicating hemp-derived products—setting up what many in the industry view as a high-impact compliance and commercial “cliff” in 2026. For hemp brands, retailers, manufacturers, and ancillary partners, the immediate issue is not theory: it is whether current product portfolios, contracts, and distribution channels remain viable under the new federal definition and potency limits.

Podcast: Scromiting Your Way Into The ER. Another Downside of Marijuana Use
by Cameron English on January 6, 2026
With highly potent and (sometimes) legal marijuana widely available across the US, emergency rooms are reporting an increase in Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), an unpleasant condition characterized by screaming and vomiting—"scromiting" in the vernacular. The condition is yet more evidence that marijuana’s reputation as a low-risk drug is undeserved.
