Martha Stewart, The Ultimate "Weed Mom," Launches New Line of CBD Products

The quintessential "Weed Mom" Martha Stewart has partnered with Canopy Growth Corp. in a joint bid to break into the CBD market in a sure bet that their curated flavors and her celebrity name will bring the ingredient to a new demographic.

Starting today, Canopy will offer Martha Stewart-branded CBD gummies in flavors ranging from kumquat to huckleberry, along with soft gels and oil drops, on its website. Later this year, Canopy will add a Stewart-branded line of CBD products for pets, a segment Canopy CEO David Klein sees reaching as much as $600 million in additional annual sales.


The products were developed with Stewart’s input on marketing and taste -- she sees the products as comparable to French confections “rather than the sticky, overly sweet versions you might find elsewhere.” The launch comes as her brand is being revived by consumers looking to improve their quality of life while stuck at home during quarantine.

Canopy says there’s still plenty of potential for CBD growth, estimating that while around 86% of Americans have heard of the product, only 18% have tried it. Stewart’s household name, meanwhile, should help attract more "Weed Moms" in the age range of 46 to 65.

Same as Stewart, Snoop Dogg and Seth Rogen (both of whom have their own brands in partnership with Canopy) attract the attention of people of all ages. This is, naturally, a well thought-out strategy for Canopy.

At launch, the Martha Stewart CBD product line includes:

Out-of-State Firms Rule KY's Marijuana Licenses

In Kentucky’s latest medical marijuana license lottery, out-of-state companies overwhelmingly came out on top again, leaving local businesses struggling to compete.

Following a trend that began with Kentucky’s cultivator and processor licenses in October, only one of the 36 businesses awarded dispensary licenses in November was entirely composed of Kentucky residents. Thirty-three winners had no prior ties to the state, raising concerns about fairness, economic benefits, and the dominance of out-of-state investors.

Why compliments matter.

Compliments: The Power Move

There’s something oddly revolutionary about giving someone a compliment these days. Not the hollow, “Nice shirt, bro,” kind. I mean a real, unfiltered, bone-deep acknowledgment of something another human being is doing right. A small moment of connection that—let’s be honest—we’re all too stingy with.

And that’s a shame. Because in a world addicted to criticism and keyboard jockeys, the compliment is punk rock. It disrupts. It challenges cynicism. It rewires the way we see each other—and ourselves.

No More DEA Traveler Searches!

Republished from NORML with permission.

Agents affiliated with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been instructed to stop searching travelers at airports or other “mass transportation facilities” without a warrant, following a directive issued by Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General. The directive, issued earlier this month, followed an investigation by the IG’s office. That investigation determined that DEA personnel lacked adequate training and often failed to properly document their search-related activities.

“The DEA’s failure to collect data for each consensual encounter, as required by its own policy, and its continued inability to provide us with any assessment of the success of these interdiction efforts once again raise questions about whether these transportation interdiction activities are an effective use of law enforcement resources – and leaves the DEA once again unable to provide adequate answers to those questions,” Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz determined.

Moon Rock Weed: Out of This World

What is Moon Rock Weed?

Definition and Composition with Hash Oil

Marijuana moon rocks are a unique and highly potent cannabis product that combines multiple forms of cannabis into one extraordinary item. The creation process begins with high-quality cannabis buds, which are then coated in hash oil—a concentrated form of cannabis extract. This sticky, oil-covered bud is subsequently rolled in kief, a collection of resin glands found on cannabis flowers. The result is a product that boasts THC concentrations of 50% or higher, far surpassing the typical 15-30% found in standard cannabis strains. This combination of cannabis buds, hash oil, and kief makes moon rocks an exceptionally strong and sought-after product in the cannabis community.

History and Rise to Fame

The creation of marijuana moon rocks is credited to West Coast rapper Kurupt, who brought this potent product into the limelight in the mid-2010s through his brand, Kurupt’s Moonrock. Since their introduction, moon rocks have garnered a reputation as a premium cannabis product, often likened to the “champagne” of the marijuana world. Marijuana moon rocks stand as a symbol of both the uniqueness and evolution within the cannabis industry, representing not only high potency but also the creativity in cannabis culture. Their rise to fame has been fueled by their powerful effects and unique composition, making them a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts. The combination of celebrity endorsement and the product’s exceptional potency has solidified moon rocks’ status as a top-tier choice for those seeking an elevated cannabis experience.

Cannabis Regulators Unveil Plans

Three proposed license types include “Supplemental” for existing Marijuana Establishments, “Hospitality,” and “Event Organizer”

Up until this week, chatter about cannabis social consumption in Massachusetts had mostly been regressive. Instead of moving forward, news from the Cannabis Control Commission often indicated that the Bay State was no closer to having weed lounges than in 2018, when state lawmakers passed a bill with a provision to allow municipalities to permit such venues in accordance with particular rules.

We’ve covered that backstory extensively. But in light of a presentation on Social Consumption Establishments [SCEs] given today by CCC Commissioner Bruce Stebbins with supporting staff members, it’s finally time to look forward to social consumption, defined in Massachusetts as “A Marijuana Establishment licensed by the Commission where Consumers can purchase and safely consume Marijuana and Marijuana Products.”*
