The Joint Commission on the Future of Cannabis Sales, formed this year, has spent months gathering testimony from industry experts, regulators, advocates, and residents.

420 with CNW — Buying Habits of Gen Z’s Are Changing Marijuana Retail

Cannabis retailers across the U.S. are adjusting to an unexpected shift in shopper behavior as the youngest legal buyers reshape the market.

Los Angeles’ The Higher Path & The Other Path director Adrienne Airhart says customers are not walking in to chase intense highs.
