A recent New Jersey poll has revealed that people are increasingly noticing the smell of marijuana more than a year into cannabis legalization. However, many residents seem to be unbothered by the often pungent smell, and even more believe that drunk driving is “very dangerous’” in comparison to driving under the influence of marijuana.
The Stockton University’s Hughes Center for Public Policy poll found that 31% of the respondents believed that cannabis use laws superseded the right to not smell marijuana from a neighbor’s house. The study also reported that 46% of respondents said both rights were of equal importance while 16% believed the right to not smell cannabis from neighbors was more important than cannabis use laws.
However, even though cannabis users in New Jersey have legal means for accessing the drug, only 14% of New Jersey residents said they smelled cannabis from neighboring houses often, 15% said they sometimes smell the controversial drug and 21% reported that they rarely smelled cannabis from their neighbors.
Conversely, 57% of adults in New Jersey said they have smelled cannabis in public since legalization, with 29% saying they catch the smell often and 28% saying they catch it sometimes. An estimated 31% of the respondents said they rarely smell cannabis while out in public, and 9% said they have never smelled marijuana in public.
Hughes Center director John Froonjian said that while there was much excitement about the legalization of recreational cannabis in New Jersey, policymakers didn’t put a lot of thought into the issue of public cannabis use. Without any legal places for people to consume their cannabis, many people are opting to consume the drug at festivals, on the streets, in parking lots and in parks.
Given marijuana’s extremely pungent smell, burning cannabis is quite distinctive, and the aromatic odors from the substance can travel for up to 82 feet before fully dissipating. A whopping 90% of respondents said they could identify the smell of cannabis while 52% said they had zero issues with the smell. Another 28% reported being “somewhat” bothered by the smell, and 19% said that the pungent aroma bothered them “a great deal.”
Unsurprisingly, 55% of people who consumed cannabis said one’s right to use cannabis at home overrode a neighbor’s right to not smell the plant in their residence while only 21% of noncannabis users had the same opinion. In addition, 75% of users and 91% of nonusers said that driving while under the influence of cannabis was dangerous, while 52% of consumers and 81% of nonconsumers said they supported roadside tests to determine driver impairment levels.
This huge enthusiasm for marijuana in New Jersey is likely to give rise to successful companies along the lines of Verano Holdings Corp. (CSE: VRNO) (OTCQX: VRNOF) and other companies thriving in other legal cannabis markets in the U.S.

Several months after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a recreational cannabis legalization measure into law and nearly two months after the legislation took effect, the state has seen a significant increase in demand for marijuana classes. Minnesota is a relatively late entrant into the recreational cannabis game, but Minnesotans proved that they overwhelmingly supported legalization via a ballot vote, and they are now eager to learn as much as they can about the often-controversial plant.
According to Minnesota Cannabis College president Tanner Berris, demand for marijuana classes across the state is huge as many residents are itching to tap into the recently launched recreational cannabis industry. Berris says the college has been receiving calls every day, every hour from people who would like to become part of the cannabis industry by either opening a cannabis business or getting a job in the nascent industry.
Although the college’s marijuana program isn’t accredited, the nonprofit has been able to expand from its hemp roots to recreational cannabis now that the state has legalized adult-use marijuana. The college’s goal is now to provide support to entrepreneurs interested in joining the cannabis sector and provide them with the training they will need to flourish in the industry. The school will soon start to offer classes on cannabis cultivation, business management, and “budtending” training to people who want to work in retail cannabis stores.
Since Minnesota’s recreational cannabis law won’t allow the launch of retail marijuana dispensaries until 2025 (with the exception of some tribal nations), interested entrepreneurs have plenty of time to learn about cannabis commerce before official sales commence.
In the meantime, state law currently allows Minnesotans to cultivate up to eight cannabis plants at home.
Although the Minnesota Cannabis College began offering cannabis cultivation classes in reaction to home cultivation laws, the nonprofit is more interested in providing business-related cannabis knowledge. Berris says the most surprising thing has been the number of Minnesotans who have expressed interest in launching their own business. This includes people who use cannabis either sporadically or regularly as well as people who don’t use cannabis but are entrepreneurs who noticed a business opportunity in Minnesota’s burgeoning cannabis sector and are looking for industry-specific information before taking the plunge. Berris says all of the cannabis classes at the nonprofit are full.
Minnesotans interested in an online cannabis education certificate can also head to St. Cloud State University for programs that cover cannabis healthcare and medicine, cannabis compliance and risk management, cannabis agriculture and horticulture, and business of cannabis.
This explosive interest in Minnesota could be signaling to entities operating elsewhere, such as SNDL Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL), that the cannabis industry still has plenty of room for growth, and any policy changes at the federal level will probably take this growth to a whole new level, bringing massive opportunities to sector players.

A surge of psychedelic research has significantly increased the public appeal of psychedelics in recent years. Researchers have discovered that several psychedelics have the potential to treat various mental-health disorders safely and effectively, making them possible alternatives for conventional mental-health treatments.
Psychedelics such as LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca and mescaline have shown significant potential against conditions such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), seeming to offer long-term relief with minimal adverse side effects and at relatively low doses.
However, we still don’t fully understand how psychedelic experiences impact the brain and lead to profound realizations in psychedelic users. While scientists have reason to believe that psychedelics work by interacting with receptors such as the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR), the underlying mechanisms that allow them to deliver their benefits still aren’t fully understood.
Researchers are now looking into the possibility that personality plays a larger role in psychedelic experiences than previously thought. Personality traits affect how we interact with our feelings, thoughts, relationships and the world at large, after all, and some scientists posit that our traits may also shape how we react to psychedelics.
Genes are partly responsible for some personality traits while others develop in response to experiences. These traits tend to settle as we reach adulthood but can go through small gradual changes over time. Psychedelics can disrupt entrenched personality traits and change how people perceive themselves and the world around them, resulting in profound realizations that can cause long-lasting personality changes.
Their ability to disrupt previously held perceptions, open up people’s minds and help individuals gain different insights into their emotions allows psychedelics to treat conditions such as major depressive disorder. As such, it makes sense that personality traits including agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness should affect psychedelic experiences.
Interestingly, researchers found that personality can affect an individual’s response to a psilocybin journey. Findings published in the “Journal of Psychoactive Drugs” reveal that individuals with high levels of openness were more likely to have psychedelic experiences characterized by contact with transcendent forces and nonordinary beings as well as love and inner visions. Furthermore, people who scored high in extraversion had feelings of deeper connection to other people and were unlikely to contact non-ordinary beings while under the influence of psychedelics.
High levels of neuroticism increased one’s chances of having a bad psychedelic trip, highly emotional people had little chance of experiencing fear during their experiences, and risk takers had a higher chance of experiencing ego death. The findings also indicate that psychedelics can decrease neuroticism and increase extraversion, conscientiousness and openness.
Enterprises such as atai Life Sciences N.V. (NASDAQ: ATAI) could also help the world understand the more specific ways in which psychedelics interact with different categories of patients in order to deliver therapeutic benefits, and how dosing can be tweaked to address individual needs or differences.
