The Full Boof

Somewhere between “Easy Apply” and “We’ve decided to move forward with other candidates,” there is a place. A real place. A stupid place. A place so hostile to hope it smells faintly of burnt resumes and LinkedIn Premium desperation. Every cannabis job listing you see on LinkedIn, Brand Manager, VP of Culture, Head of Growth (Must Love Compliance), is not actually intended to hire a human being. The listing exists solely to be funneled, via fiber-optic lie, to a remote facili

CHICAGO — What was supposed to be a historic step forward for hemp-derived THC beverages quickly turned into a citywide hydration emergency after the United Center began selling THC-infused drinks and was forced to hand out an estimated 50,000 free beers to angry guests who claimed the drinks did absolutely nothing.

Arizona has officially launched its first statewide Best in Grass cannabis competition, allowing consumers to vote on weed quality across the state. Naturally, the ballots are already being recounted. Not because anything went wrong, just because this is Arizona, and the state physically cannot see a ballot without running it through at least four different agencies, two consultants, and one guy named Gary who “has concerns.”

In a move that briefly restored everyone’s faith in humanity, Illicit Gardens announced it was transitioning to a fully employee-owned company. No VC vampires. No private equity spreadsheet necromancers. Just workers owning the thing they actually show up to every day. For about twelve beautiful seconds, the cannabis industry stood still. LinkedIn wept. Consultants nodded solemnly. Someone used the phrase “stakeholder alignment” without irony.

According to three people who have sat in meetings with him since, a multi-state cannabis operator CEO recently returned from an ayahuasca retreat with less empathy, more confidence, and a brand-new way to explain why layoffs are actually healing.

In a bold legal maneuver straight out of the “Please Stop Looking at That” playbook, Trulieve is reportedly suing Ganja Leaks for $750,000 in defamation after videos surfaced showing mold in Trulieve grow facilities, allegedly filmed by a former employee who, crucially, did not invent the mold.

Fabuloso has officially entered the weed business. The reason? Market research. Specifically: every dispensary already smells like it. After decades of accidentally becoming the unofficial fragrance sponsor of retail cannabis, Fabuloso executives reportedly realized they weren’t entering a new industry, they were simply acknowledging one they already dominated aromatically.

Welcome to Utah, where cannabis is strictly medical, aggressively regulated, and somehow still tastes like someone dissolved a Jolly Rancher in a gas station slushy machine. Utah lawmakers will swear, hand on scripture, that vape pens here are for patients, not pleasure. Which is wild, because if these are medical devices, then NyQuil should come in Mango Gelato. So we ran a little test. Call it science. Call it journalism. Call it the Utah Vape Pen Pepsi Challenge™.

According to sources who “definitely signed NDAs but are emotionally free,” Pax has been testing a new firmware update that uses behavioral analysis to determine whether you deserve to get high. If the device senses you might be a weed person, it simply… won't hit.

This week, Winston Light announced a partnership with STIIIZY, the vape giant best known for selling millions of sleek pods to people who definitely say things like “nah I don’t really smoke flower.” The goal? Reinvigorate a brand that peaked when ashtrays were furniture and doctors were sponsored by tobacco companies.

By the time the CEO finishes saying “legacy” for the fourth time, you already know how this story ends. Not with community. Not with respect. With HR cc’d and the people who actually built this industry quietly escorted out the back door. Welcome to modern cannabis: where ownership speaks in hushed, reverent tones about where the plant came from while actively purging anyone who looks like they might’ve met it personally.

Berlin did it. Germany legalized cannabis, shook hands with modernity, and briefly looked like it might join the rest of the developed world in treating adults like adults. Then Bavaria cleared its throat. Within weeks of legalization taking effect, Bavaria’s conservative leadership began publicly campaigning to roll it back, citing concerns about youth, morality, public health, social order, and whatever else you say when your entire political identity is screaming “nein” at

Missouri didn’t just legalize cannabis. It legalized shortcuts. From day one, the state built a system where vertical integration dominates, cultivation, manufacturing, and retail bundled together under the same ownership umbrellas. On paper, it was supposed to create efficiency. In practice, it created a closed circuit where shelf space is decided long before a customer ever walks through the door.

By Boof du Jour - The Only Publication Josh Can’t Roll Up and Smoke The resurrection of High Times  was supposed to be wholesome. A comeback story. A phoenix rising from 30 years of unpaid invoices and whatever that Reg A scam fever dream was supposed to be. Instead, the once-iconic brand has reportedly devolved into a workplace so unstable it makes Vice  look like a Fortune 500 development camp. Sources inside the RAW-powered High Times  reboot describe an atmosphere best su

Congress didn’t tighten hemp rules — they accidentally carpet-bombed the entire industry. With one sloppy amendment, they killed Delta-8, THCA, minor cannabinoids, and most CBD products. Boof du Jour breaks down the federal panic attack that turned hemp into contraband overnight.

The Supreme Court just made the hemp industry’s worst nightmare come true: mislabeling “THC-Free” can now count as racketeering. Boof du Jour breaks down how a mislabeled bottle turned every CBD brand into a crime syndicate with better stationery.

Curio Wellness, Maryland’s corporate mindfulness brand, just bought Missouri’s loudest weed shops and is repainting the trap-house vibe into taupe. Boof du Jour covers the culture clash between real weed people and the PowerPoint prophets trying to fix what wasn’t broken.

Missouri’s cannabis industry didn’t just eat itself — it hired its own lawyer to cook the corpse. Meet Eric Walter, general counsel for the Missouri Cannabis Trade Association (MoCann Trade). The same guy who helped draft Missouri’s 2022 cannabis amendment and shaped the so-called “social equity”  program is now the centerpiece of the state’s latest corruption circus — writing 22 of the contracts that regulators just called predatory and used to revoke licenses. You can’t spe

132 cannabis gummies. $400 in value. 869 grams on the police scale. A U.S. basketball player in Jakarta now faces life or death because of “Cop Math” — the global farce where a box of candy weighs more than human rights.

Eaze was once the “Uber of weed.” After bankruptcy and a fire sale, the brand has reappeared in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury. But the comeback feels less like a rebirth and more like a hospice wing for a unicorn that investors already buried.
