Why Weedgets Smoking Products Are Better for Your Lungs
When it comes to smoking, your lungs deserve protection—and that’s exactly what Weedgets products are designed to deliver. Unlike traditional pipes or joints that expose you to hot smoke and harsh particulates, Weedgets offers a cleaner, smoother, and safer smoking experience engineered for your respiratory health. Advanced Filtration for Cleaner Smoke At the heart of every Weedgets innovation is filtration technology. Weedgets pipes and accessories feature integrated micro-filters that trap impurities and resin particles before they reach your lungs. This significantly reduces exposure to tar, ash, and other combustion byproducts that can irritate your airways and cause coughing. The result is a noticeably cleaner inhale that feels light yet delivers full flavor and potency. Cooling the Smoke to Protect Your Airways
One of the biggest threats to lung comfort is the temperature of the smoke itself. Hot, unfiltered smoke can inflame the delicate tissue lining your respiratory tract. Weedgets addresses this with cooling pathways and diffusion systems that lower smoke temperature before it enters your mouth. By cooling each puff, these devices minimize throat burn and lung irritation, letting you enjoy a smoother and more comfortable session.
Designed for Moisture Retention and Hydration
Traditional smoking dries out your throat and lungs, often leading to post-session irritation. Weedgets’ designs—including the award-winning MAZE-X pipe—use moisture-preserving features that maintain a more balanced humidity level in each draw. This helps reduce dryness and supports the lungs’ natural ability to stay hydrated and clear.
Less Coughing, More Breathing Comfort Many users notice that Weedgets devices help them cough less and breathe more comfortably. That’s because the filtered and cooled smoke allows for deeper, more natural inhales without the harsh hit. Whether you’re a daily smoker or someone who values occasional sessions, Weedgets technology helps you enjoy the benefits of cannabis while protecting your respiratory wellness. Sustainable and Hygienic Design
Weedgets products are built for cleanability and reusability, unlike disposable filters or cheap pipes that accumulate residue and bacteria. Each component can be easily cleaned, ensuring a fresh and sanitary smoking experience every time. This not only supports better lung health but also contributes to a cleaner environment. Science-Driven Innovation Developed by engineers and health-conscious designers, Weedgets represents the future of responsible smoking. Every product is tested and refined to reduce the harmful effects of smoke inhalation while preserving the full sensory and therapeutic experience of cannabis.
In summary: Weedgets isn’t just about better smoking—it’s about smarter smoking. By filtering, cooling, and cleaning each puff, Weedgets protects your lungs so you can enjoy cannabis safely, comfortably, and consciously.

AYR Wellness to Initiate CCAA Proceedings
MIAMI, Nov. 17, 2025 — AYR Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“AYR” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator, announces the initiation of proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (“CCAA”) in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The CCAA proceedings are part of the Company’s restructuring process pursuant to the previously disclosed Restructuring Support Agreement dated July 30, 2025 (the “RSA”). Under the RSA, core assets of AYR’s subsidiaries will be transitioned to a newly-formed acquisition vehicle (“NewCo”) owned by certain of AYR’s senior noteholders.
In connection with the ongoing restructuring process and consistent with the RSA, the Company has authorized the initiation of CCAA proceedings to facilitate an orderly, court-supervised wind-down of the existing AYR corporate parent entity and to support the implementation of transactions contemplated by the RSA. As part of the initial relief to be sought, the Company expects to request the appointment of a licensed insolvency trustee to act as monitor and related customary relief to support the stability of operations during the process.

Planet 13 Announces Q3 2025 Financial Results
Q3 2025 Revenue of $23.3 million
Q3 2025 Net loss of $44.0 million, which includes a $29.8 million non-cash impairment loss
Q3 2025 Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.1 million
All figures are reported in United States dollars ($) unless otherwise indicated
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2025 — Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQX: PLNH) (“Planet 13” or the “Company”), a leading vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis company, today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. Planet 13’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
“Q3 marked the low point for Planet 13. We took decisive action to address our cost structure and operational challenges, reducing SG&A significantly and taking impairment and inventory reserve charges to clean up our balance sheet. Excluding these one-time items, our underlying gross margin would have been approximately 45% reflecting the strength of our cultivation platform and our ability to compete on price while maintaining healthy economics. October’s sequential improvements in both Nevada and Florida validate that we’ve turned the corner,” said Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13.
“We’ve made the difficult but necessary decisions to position Planet 13 for sustainable operations. Exiting California eliminates a persistent cash drain and allows us to focus our resources on Nevada and Florida, markets where we have clear competitive advantages and paths to strong returns. With our BHO lab coming online by year-end and early momentum building in Q4, we’re executing against a clear roadmap: disciplined operations, improved margins, and durable cash flow generation,” said Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO of Planet 13.

The table below shows valuation metrics for the eleven U.S. MSOs with market caps over $100M. |
The median EV/2026 EBITDA ratio is 5.1x, and the Viridian bespoke measure of Adj EV/2026 EBITDAR is not much higher at 5.72x. The Viridian measure takes into account both excess tax liabilities and operating leases in the definition of enterprise value.
The uncertainty regarding regulatory/legislative outcomes is weighing on both the cannabis equity market and the cannabis capital markets. Cannabis equities enjoyed an early week pop on news that hemp was being outlawed and expectations that revenues lost to hemp would flow back into MSO coffers. The one-year delay and doubt about how much hemp revenue would be recaptured hit the stocks midweek.
Despite the volatility, we expect 2026 to be a strong year for plant-touching valuations. Revenue growth is expected to rebound as several new states are getting closer to passing recreational cannabis laws.
S3 still has the potential to produce a 50-100% pop in cannabis stocks.

Tilray Brands Condemns Misguided Prohibitionist Measures and Champions Responsible Hemp Regulations that Keep Consumers Safe and Businesses Thriving
Tilray firmly stands with bipartisan lawmakers and industry partners calling for Congress to enact smart, responsible hemp regulations and a taxed pathway for hemp-derived THC products that ensures consumer safety, drives economic growth, and reflects what Americans want.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2025 — Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray Brands” or “Tilray”) (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company at the forefront of the beverage and hemp-wellness industries, today released the following statement regarding the hemp-related provision included in the recent U.S. government funding bill.
Tilray Brands stands united with a coalition of responsible operators representing some of the largest companies in the distribution and retail tiers of the alcohol and beverage industries in urging Congress to come together and establish sensible regulations for hemp-derived THC products. We believe that prohibition and overly restrictive measures do not work as they only push products and American consumers into the shadows and empower unregulated actors selling high-dose, untested, and unsafe products, while undermining responsible operators who uphold consumer trust and product safety.

Herbal Dispatch Announces Record-Breaking Month of $4.1M in Sales for October 2025
Vancouver, British Columbia–November 17, 2025 – Herbal Dispatch Inc. (CSE: HERB) (OTC Pink: LUFFF) (FSE: HA9) (“Herbal Dispatch” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce a record-breaking month of sales for October 2025 and an updated forecast for the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting continued positive momentum.
In October 2025, the Company achieved gross sales of approximately $4.1 million, marking the highest monthly sales in its history and a 273% increase from the average monthly sales of $1.1 million recorded in Q3 2025. This exceptional performance was driven by robust demand in the recreational cannabis segment, enhanced by the recent strike by the BC General Employees’ Union, which halted wholesale shipments from the province’s primary liquor and cannabis distribution hubs. This has driven retailers across British Columbia to rely on independent wholesalers and the direct delivery program, creating significant growth opportunities for Herbal Dispatch.
