LOS ANGELES — August 12, 2025 — mg Magazine, the cannabis industry’s premier business-to-business media brand, marks its 10th anniversary as a trusted voice documenting the sector’s unprecedented evolution. Since its debut in August 2015, mg has delivered incisive journalism, executive insights, and market intelligence, cementing its role as the go-to source for industry professionals.
Launched when only four U.S. states and Washington, D.C., had legalized adult-use cannabis, mg Magazine boldly committed to serving a nascent industry poised for transformative growth. A decade later, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 30%, the market now supports thousands of unique cannabis brands, reflecting the industry’s vibrant expansion. Today, 24 states and the District of Columbia permit adult-use cannabis, while 42 states operate medical programs, marking one of the most significant regulatory and economic shifts in modern history.
“It’s been an extraordinary privilege to serve an industry that is reshaping history,” said Darren Roberts, publisher of mg Magazine. “In more than 30 years of publishing, I’ve never encountered a sector as dynamic and complex as cannabis. The transformative impact that mg Magazine has had on the industry is undeniable, not just as a chronicler of change, but as a catalyst for progress.”
Operating as both a monthly printed magazine and online resource, mg continues to set the standard for B2B journalism. “We’re honored to have earned the industry’s trust and to tell its story through a period of historic change,” said Editorial Director Kathee Brewer.
