Cannabis Predictions for 2025: Low Prices, High Taxes and Hashish

Best of all time? The worst times? …Why not both at the same time?

The year 2025 will be good for consumers in terms of prices, stores, selection, home cultivation and hashish. Prices will be low, more stores with more selection will open, cool seeds will flourish, and hash will be everywhere.

But it will be another bad year for growers, sellers and activists. Both Republicans and Democrats love to flood the cannabis industry with taxes and regulations. America's roughly 40 million smokers who have smoked in the past month still need to find their voice and fight back.

The wheel of time turns again. So let's put together our annual predictions as if we were asking a Magic 8 Ball questions. We'll leave it up to you to make the pot puns.
