Hi,

Cannabis advertisers have hit a wall time and time again, with major tech companies prohibiting cannabis ads due to the product’s federal Schedule 1 status. Under 420-friendly Elon Musk’s ownership, Twitter further loosened its regulations this week and became the first major social network to allow the ads. We hope this will inject a dose of courage for Big Tech’s lawyers. After all, the Twitter decision combined with the admission of cannabis ads on other ad networks shows that exclusion is subjective.

Oregon has decriminalized psychedelic mushrooms, and now the illicit market is expanding wildly. An article exploring this world is one of our picks for the week.

Last week, Singapore executed a man for selling 2 pounds of cannabis seven years ago! Besides the fact that this shouldnt be a serious crime, the evidence against him was sketchy. It’s disheartening to see that this beautiful and peaceful island country has not embraced the medical benefits of cannabis as its neighboring country, Thailand, has. Singapore is known for its strict state control over personal freedoms, including the prohibition of chewing gum.

I'm so upset about this execution that I’m fantasizing about building a bootleg bubble gum company covertly exporting to Singapore, becoming known as "La Regina della Gomma" (The Gum Queen) and hiring an elite team of mercenaries called the Bubble Gum Bandits, who stick bubble gum in the hair of all members of the Singaporean parliament that are responsible for this travesty and dare to oppose my rule over the bubblegum world!… Sorry, I got a little carried away…and I've probably been doing too much research on the cartels. I'll just stick with spreading education about cannabis through our news roundups instead. :)
