Compton, CA - Former City Council member Isaac Galvan who served on the Compton council from 2013 to 2022, pleaded guilty to federal charges of bribery and tax evasion. He admitted to bribing Baldwin Park Councilman Ricardo Pacheco with $70,000 in exchange for green permits

Galvan's bribes were intended to secure Pacheco's political support in 2018. Pacheco previously pleaded guilty to bribery after FBI investigations, agreeing to cooperate with authorities. Galvin eventually lost his seat amid a vote-rigging scandal resulting in election fraud charges.

The ex-councilman faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison on the bribery charge, with sentencing set for June of 2026.

Scientists are searching for better ways to treat ovarian cancer, as current medications often come with serious side effects and limited success.

Researchers at Khon Kaen University in Thailand are turning their attention to green compounds as a potential alternative.

In a recent study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology, the team found that a specific combination of green compounds was able to kill ovarian cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

The study also revealed that this compound mixture interferes with cancer-related signaling pathways, reducing proteins linked to tumor growth and restoring a protein that helps suppress cancer.

The findings open the door to further research into safer, more effective ovarian cancer treatments.

Lee County, SC - A drone carrying green was intercepted at Lee Correctional Institution in South Carolina. But that's not all, the drone was transporting not only green but also ingredients for a gourmet meal including Crab legs, Old Bay Seasoning, and steak.

Arizona, US ~ A study from Arizona State University finds that dogs given CBD over time exhibit a decrease in aggressive behavior.

The study analyzed data from over 47,000 dogs, finding that those with conditions like cancer or arthritis were more likely to use CBD. Results indicate that consistent use correlates with a decline in aggression intensity, which could have implications for dog training.

Researchers emphasize the need for more studies to determine CBD’s long-term effectiveness and safety in dogs. They call for further trials with quantifiable data to better understand CBD's role in canine health and behavior.

Also, it’s important to note that these products aren’t regulated by the FDA, so always be sure to do research your before using them on your pets.

Okay stoners, the most anticipated meal of the year is this Thursday. But did you know green retailers often refer to the day before as "Green Wednesday"?

Australia - Researchers from the University of Adelaide in collaboration with German tech company Compolytics have developed a new, non-destructive way to predict the potency of green plants. This method uses a handheld device to scan leaves during different growth stages.

The technique, called "hyperspectral reflectance" captures detailed light reflections from leaves, helping farmers and breeders assess plant quality early on. This can improve crop management, reduce costs, and help ensure plants meet legal regulations.

Future plans include making the device smaller and using drones to scan entire fields, making this technology even more efficient and accessible for the industry.

US - The US h**p industry is facing major challenges after Congress passed a bill with a new ban on most h**p-derived products. The ban was included in legislation that ended  the longest government shutdown in US history.

In 2018 h**p was legalized to boost agriculture and the economy. And it did just that, according to NPR the H**p market generated over $28 billion in sales revenue in 2022.

Experts say 95% of the $28 billion market could disappear in a year.This change threatens over 300,000 jobs, including farmers, manufacturers, and retailers. 

Companies have a grace period of one year from November 12, 2025, before the new federal ban takes effect.

Australia, New South Wales (NSW) - Electrical technicians in Australia noticed power surges at a Lake Macquarie property. The power had allegedly been tampered with to bypass the meter box. A known tactic used to avoid massive electricity bills.

That led to the discovery of more than 80 unauthorized plants growing throughout five rooms of the home located in New South Wales.

A 60-year-old man was apprehended and will face charges for diverting electricity without authority, and enhanced indoor green cultivation.

Berlin - Police tracked a suspicious coconut delivery from Hamburg's port to Berlin, and seized more than a ton of green from a shipping container.

Five men have been apprehended in connection. Among those detained was the 69-year-old man to whom the shipment was addressed.

Prosecutors could not immediately provide information about the origin or street value of the seizure. However, investigators say this is one of the largest busts in Berlin’s history.

Omaha, NE - The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska approved Medical Green on their reservation back in July 2025, despite push back from the state attorney general that opposed it.

With that being said, the tribe is now claiming the state ended negotiations on an unrelated tax compact in an attempt to politically retaliate.

Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers admits to no wrong doing and stated "No tribe has any right to a tax compact".

The tribe plans to continue developing their green policies and defend their sovereignty. They've already created their own green commission to oversee rules and regulations throughout their land.

This conflict shines a light ongoing tensions between tribal sovereignty, state limitations, and green laws.

Boise, Idaho - Soon Idaho may be growing more than potatoes.. A group called the "Natural Medicine Alliance of Idaho" is now allowed to collect signatures to get a medical green initiative on the November 2026 ballot.

The goal is to help people with serious health conditions (Cancer, AIDS, MS, Epilepsy, etc.) get regulated assistance with a doctor’s approval. Idaho is one of the few states that has yet to go green. The others include Wyoming, Kansas, and South Carolina.

Past efforts have failed, but hopefully they'll be luckier this time around. To qualify, supporters need to gather at least 70,000 signatures by April 30, 2026.

Ocean City, Maryland. Police are asking for volunteers from the community to puff the magic dragon as they observe for "research".

They're calling it a "Green Lab". They view it as an educational opportunity for the Ocean City Police Department and Montgomery County Police.
