🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read: Man, the paranoia is real, and sometimes it turns out we were actually right to be looking over our shoulders. I just saw that a Michigan dispensary was literally ordered to point a police-connected Flock camera right at its own parking lot because Wisconsin cops are treating our neighbor state like some kind of cartel pipeline [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/news/flock-cameras-cannabis-surveillance-legal-weed-states/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=flock-cameras-cannabis-surveillance-legal-weed-states). It’s wild because we’ve been joking about license plate readers for years, but seeing a shop forced to act as a spotter for out-of-state cops just rubs me the wrong way—it’s a massive invasion of privacy for people just trying to buy a plant. On the other side of the world, Thailand's new July 2026 Cannabis and Hemp Act just officially banned recreational use, forcing every single shop to pivot to a medical-only setup with actual doctors on site [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/travel-hospitality/thailand-quasi-legal-cannabis-market-bangkok-dispatch/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=thailand-quasi-legal-cannabis-market-bangkok-dispatch). Honestly, it’s fascinating to watch how fast a country can open the floodgates and then try to pull the reins back, but I'm always skeptical about how much these "medical-only" rules actually stop anyone from getting their hands on a joint. What do you guys think—are we ever going to get a normal, hassle-free market without the constant pushback?

Hey everyone, Sid here. I’ve been geeking out on Myrcene lately. If you've ever cracked open a bag and got hit with a super earthy, musky aroma with just a little hint of clove, you’re smelling Myrcene. It’s wild how nature shares these recipes—you can find this exact same terpene in mangoes, lemongrass, and even hops. When it comes to how it feels, Myrcene is commonly associated with relaxing, sedating effects. In fact, it's often the terpene blamed for "couch-lock" (Source: Russo, E.B. (2011), British Journal of Pharmacology). If you want to check out some strains that are often high in it, look for Granddaddy Purple, Blue Dream, and OG Kush. What's your experience with these? I'm not a doctor — this isn't medical advice, just what's commonly reported. Talk to a healthcare provider about what's right for you.

Yo, Sid here. If you want to make edibles that actually work, you gotta start with the holy grail: classic cannabutter. I just whipped up a fresh batch to prep for some weekend baking, and honestly, getting this foundation right makes everything else a breeze. Ingredients: * 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter (THC is fat-soluble, not water-soluble, so we need this carrier fat to actually extract the good stuff) * 7 to 10 grams of your favorite flower, coarsely ground (a solid 1/4 oz for a moderate-strength batch) * 1 cup of water (helps regulate temp so the butter doesn't burn) Steps: 1. Decarb your flower. Do not skip this! Raw weed won't get you high. Spread your ground bud on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes to convert the non-psychoactive THCA into active THC. 2. Set up a double boiler or a heavy saucepan. Combine the butter, water, and your decarbed flower. 3. Simmer on low heat (keep it between 160–200°F / 70–95°C) for 2 to 4 hours. Stir it occasionally. 4. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth into a glass jar. Don't squeeze too hard or you'll get excess chlorophyll. Let it cool, then discard the water layer that separates at the bottom. Word of advice: start low and go slow. 5–10mg of THC is plenty for a beginner. Label your jar clearly so roommates or pets don't mistake it for regular butter. And remember, edibles take 30–90 minutes to kick in since they process through your liver. Wait it out before going back for seconds!

🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read: I was just reading about Snoop Dogg’s dad, Vernell Varnado, who is still hunting for the legendary Panama Red he first bought in a matchbox back in 1966 [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/culture/papa-snoop-vernell-varnado-panama-red-interview/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=papa-snoop-vernell-varnado-panama-red-interview). It really hit home for me because we have all this crazy, high-potency laboratory weed now, but we’re losing the classic landrace strains that actually started this whole culture. I'd love to see a real revival of those old-school genetics. On a much better note for the little guys, New York is finally letting licensed microbusinesses sell weed directly at local farmers' markets [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/news/new-york-to-allow-weed-sales-at-farmers-markets-giving-small-growers-a-fighting-chance/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-york-to-allow-weed-sales-at-farmers-markets-giving-small-growers-a-fighting-chance). This is absolutely massive because small-batch growers have been getting squeezed out by massive corporate dispensaries, and getting to buy your bud right next to the organic tomatoes is exactly how community cannabis should work. Honestly, with how hectic everything is lately, I keep thinking about that line from the new Cheech & Chong doc where they say cannabis should be mandatory for the "normie" world [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/culture/opinion-cannabis-should-be-mandatory-the-normie-world-needs-a-joint-more-than-anyone/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=opinion-cannabis-should-be-mandatory-the-normie-world-needs-a-joint-more-than-anyone). It's hilarious but so true—the world would be about eighty percent more chilled out if everyone just took a collective breath and shared a joint. Are any of you guys actually finding real heirloom strains like Panama Red in your areas, or is it all just modern hybrids now?

🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read: Man, the evolutionary arms race in our grow rooms is getting straight-up sci-fi. I was reading about how fungal pathogens are behind over 70% of reported cannabis diseases in the US, and how pests like the corn earworm have actually evolved right past our standard insecticides and biocontrols [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/grow/stop-spraying-and-hoping-your-pests-already-outsmarted-you-inside-the-everswarm/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=stop-spraying-and-hoping-your-pests-already-outsmarted-you-inside-the-everswarm). As a grower, this hits home because it’s a brutal reminder that nature always finds a way, and we can't just spray-and-pray our way out of crop issues anymore; we have to get smarter than the bugs. On the legal side of things, it looks like the hemp scene just bought itself a tiny bit of breathing room. The Senate passed a funding bill that delays that massive federal crackdown on hemp-derived THC products for about another month [See the full article on Cannabis Now](https://cannabisnow.com/senate-passes-spending-bill-with-one-month-delay-to-federal-hemp-crackdown/). I keep an eye on this because watching the government scramble to draw arbitrary lines between hemp and cannabis is wild, and this temporary reprieve just shows how chaotic the federal landscape still is for growers and shops trying to survive. What are you guys running in your IPM setups to keep ahead of these super-bugs lately?
