InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:25:00 +0000

Veteran marijuana breeder James Loud is setting his sights on a niche that continues to grow: pre-rolls and ready-to-use joints. Over the next few years, he plans to develop plant varieties tailored for these products, with a focus on durability and consistency during storage and transport.

As the cannabis sector continues to mature, more companies may adopt formal protections. For now, breeders must balance innovation with caution in an industry still defining its legal boundaries.

InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:25:00 +0000

For decades, a cannabis conviction from 1980 trailed Roosevelt Myles, lingering on his record long after he served his time. Myles, an Illinois resident, spent nearly three decades behind bars for a murder he maintained he did not commit. An appellate court later overturned the conviction, and a judge granted him a certificate of innocence after finding no physical evidence connected him to the crime.

Wisconsin Democratic lawmakers recently introduced legislation that would legalize marijuana for both recreational and medical use, renewing a long-running debate as the state continues to lag behind nearby Midwestern neighbors on cannabis policy.

420 with CNW — Government-Funded Research Says Cannabis Users are Being Wrongfully Jailed for DUI

InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN) — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 21:25:00 +0000

Government-funded research is raising serious concerns about how cannabis driving laws are being enforced in the United States. According to a new scientific study, many cannabis users are being arrested, charged, and even jailed for driving under the influence despite showing no real signs of being impaired. The research suggests that current DUI laws related to marijuana are not based on sound science and are unfairly punishing innocent people.

As drug laws around the country evolve, a bigger task will be to roll back many of the prohibitionist perceptions that show up in different aspects, such as laws that regard traces of THC in blood as proof of intoxication. When these vestiges of prohibition are identified and addressed, the industry and its ecosystem players like Innovative Industrial Properties Inc. (NYSE: IIPR) will move a…

420 with CNW — GOP Congressmen are Fuming at Trump for Embracing Marijuana

InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN) — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 21:25:00 +0000

President Donald Trump has opened a rare rift within his party, and the issue driving it is marijuana policy. Last month, Trump announced plans to ease federal rules that govern cannabis, arguing that existing regulations have driven up taxes on marijuana businesses and hindered scientific research into potential medical benefits.

This ongoing debate and clash of opinions within the GOP ranks in Congress is likely to be of great interest to many licensed marijuana companies such as Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF) that have for long wished to see…

InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN) — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 21:25:00 +0000

A group of GOP state attorneys general is pushing back against President Donald Trump’s move to reclassify cannabis, arguing that marijuana should remain among the most tightly controlled substances due to health and safety concerns.

The opposition from sections of the GOP notwithstanding, the long-awaited change to the classification of marijuana at the federal level could improve the conditions under which marijuana companies operate at state level, and that would in turn open up new opportunities for companies similar to Innovative Industrial Properties Inc.

Study Suggests Legalizing Marijuana Lowers Suicide Rates Among Seniors

InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN) — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 21:25:00 +0000

States that allowed recreational marijuana stores to open experienced a drop in suicide rates among older residents, according to a recent analysis that reviewed more than twenty years of data from across the U.S. The findings suggest a clear association between the start of legal cannabis sales and a measurable decline in suicides among adults later in life.

The authors cautioned that more research is needed to understand why the association exists and how cannabis use may influence mental health in different groups. Entities like TerrAscend Corp. (TSX: TSND) (OTCQX: TSNDF) operating licensed marijuana outlets will be glad that their products could be having…
