The Full Boof

New York’s cannabis regulators admitted they’ve been measuring the school buffer wrong for three years — now 152 operators face shutdowns, a $15M fund skips existing stores, and compliance has devolved into spreadsheets, lawsuits, and Form 6399-FU.

Trulieve calls it “pruning to bloom.” The reality? Exiting California, Massachusetts, and Nevada while bragging about 725,000 loyalty members — and still ignoring the death of Lorna McMurrey. Our exposé uncovers regulator silence, financial spin, and a company pivoting straight into a mountain.

Assured Testing Labs buried 7,000+ contaminated samples, got caught, paid $300K, and now they’re back — with biweekly check-ins and a PR audit team. Trust the system? Hell no. This isn’t oversight. It’s regulatory damage control.

A federal court just ruled New York’s “social equity” weed licenses unconstitutional. Turns out, excluding 49 states isn’t reform — it’s just illegal.

Trump mentioned weed. The agencies are still broken. And now the federal cannabis strategy is a four-way clusterfuck with no safe word. Rescheduling is the headline — but the chaos behind it is where the real story lives.

TrapCam™ claims to protect cannabis businesses—by deleting security footage if cops show up. It’s not compliance. It’s obstruction, sold as innovation.

New York’s $1.5B cannabis market is now monitored by a login screen no one can access — thanks to vendor chaos, OCM delays, and the Track-and-Trace Grift Economy™.

We hit the streets of Bangkok to investigate Thailand’s cannabis policy nightmare. The laws change weekly, the ministers are stoned, and the tourists have no idea what they’ve walked into. It’s like getting high in the middle of a bureaucratic improv class.

The Omaha Tribe legalized cannabis before Nebraska even picked a lane. They wrote the law, built the system, and started issuing licenses—proving that tribal sovereignty is faster than state bullshit.

Another fiscal year, another bullshit promise. Congress extends cannabis protections again—without real reform, without commitment, and without shame. Welcome to the Yearly Weed Divorce Clause.

New York approved over 150 dispensaries too close to schools. Now they’re making licensees fight for survival in a real-world cannabis Hunger Games. This Field Dispatch goes inside the madness — Tributes, districts, and all.

Montana merged its weed and booze regulators. Now bar owners think they can sell joints, dispensaries are advertising bourbon, and no one knows who's actually in charge. This isn’t reform — it’s a licensing disaster dressed up as efficiency.

Germany’s weed rollout is what happens when bureaucrats get high on paperwork and paranoia. No dispensaries, no fun — just clubs, quotas, and confusion. We break down why Europe’s cannabis dream looks a lot like an American MSO’s bankruptcy hearing.

Ron DeSantis just gutted Florida’s MMJ program—revoking cards from past drug offenders and calling it “safety.” We call it fascism, Florida-style.

Vegas banned smoking in cannabis lounges. The black market threw a celebration. We were there—in the fumes, the chaos, and the ridiculous compliance charade.
