🌿 State-qualified patients can finally access authorized medical cannabis products from licensed dispensaries. For years, the program's rollout had been delayed because of litigation, with regulators at one point suspending the licensing process altogether. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/06/04/al…

🚨 Louisiana's governor is so mad about smelling weed at college football games that he made smoking or vaping it within 2,000 feet of a school punishable by a year in jail. The new law comes as most Louisianans support legalizing cannabis for adults. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/news/2026/06/04/lo…

🌿 At what point does a policy become too unpopular to keep defending? Polling shows support for marijuana prohibition continuing to decline as most Americans live with legal cannabis. So why are so many politicians still fighting to preserve it? And more importantly, why are you still voting for them? 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/05/27/pe…

❌ "Governor @GovernorVA @SpanbergerForVA's veto is a profound disappointment to the many Virginia voters who believed her when she said on the campaign trail that she supported establishing a regulated adult-use cannabis market. It is also a slap in the face to the years of serious work undertaken by lawmakers, policy experts, advocates, public health stakeholders, and regulators who spent more than half a decade researching, debating, and carefully crafting this legislation." 🔗Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/05/19/vi…

🌿 Yes, rescheduling medical cannabis is progress, but the move still leaves millions of responsible consumers vulnerable to criminal penalties, discrimination, and the continued denial of their constitutional rights. NORML has long maintained that marijuana must be descheduled and removed from the Controlled Substances Act entirely. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/05/12/no…

🇺🇸 The House once again approved language allowing VA doctors to recommend medical cannabis. Veterans advocates have spent years pushing Congress to stop denying former service members access to medical cannabis through the VA healthcare system. Similar language has failed to make it into previous final spending bills, so advocates are watching closely. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/05/20/ho…

🚨 Broad bipartisan support for a regulated retail cannabis market has been remarkably consistent for years, and her vetoes place Governor Spanberger firmly on the wrong side of both public opinion and public safety. Virginians can already see the consequences of the failed approach embraced by Republican former Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who also vetoed regulated sales in favor of allowing an unregulated THC market to explode across the Commonwealth. Voters understand that preserving this unregulated market is not a serious public safety strategy. marijuanamoment.net/virginia…

🚨 An anti-marijuana group and a drug testing trade organization are suing the federal government to block the proposed rescheduling of medical cannabis, arguing that the Attorney General lacks the authority under the Controlled Substances Act to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. Considering these groups profit from keeping marijuana criminalized, it's no surprise they're fighting desperately to keep consumers in handcuffs. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/news/2026/05/07/pr…

🌿 Compared to a decade ago, far fewer young people are consuming cannabis. Since 2013, teen cannabis use has fallen sharply. Regulation works. Prohibition does not. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/04/21/mi…

😚💨 Lower rates of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes? That’s what researchers are finding among cannabis consumers. New analysis adds to a growing body of evidence linking cannabis use with better metabolic health outcomes. Not exactly the outcome you’d expect if the "lazy stoner" stereotype held up. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/news/2026/04/23/an…

🚨 Despite having previously acknowledged her support for legalizing retail cannabis sales, @GovernorVA Spanberger sent back a substitute bill that proposes the repeal of numerous decriminalization and legalization provisions. State lawmakers will consider her proposed amendments on April 22. 📩 TAKE ACTION: Send a message to your Senator and Delegate now with just a few quick clicks, urging them to oppose amendments that recriminalize consumers and delay safe, legal access >> norml.org/act/virginia-legal…

While some in Harrisburg claim we can’t afford to make bigger investments in our kids, public safety, and our economy, know this: If we legalized and regulated adult-use cannabis, we’d bring in $1.3 BILLION in revenue for our Commonwealth over the first five years. Those are dollars that can be invested back into our people and our communities. Stop with the excuses. Let’s get this done.

🚨"Any delay in implementation continues to drive consumers to the illicit market, jeopardizes public safety and delays the tools needed by law enforcement and regulators to address these concerns. Virginians deserve a system that protects consumers and prevents access by those under age. That is why the governor should sign SB 542 | HB 642 as written and without further delay" richmond.com/opinion/column/…

📉 The evidence is clear: cannabis legalization is associated with lower crime rates. Medical laws are linked to reduced property crime. Adult-use laws are linked to decreases in violent crime. norml.org/news/2026/03/26/an…
