‘New Bill In Congress Would Let States Force Federal Reclassification Of Drugs Like Marijuana And Psychedelics’ This is something that we here at Law Enforcement Action Partnership will be keeping a keen eye on. marijuanamoment.net/new-bill…

Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) is circulating a draft bill that would keep hemp THC beverages federally legal, with new regulations—creating a carve-out from the broad recriminalization of hemp products that is set to take effect in November. marijuanamoment.net/gop-lawm…

As we look at how far we’ve come, we recognize that today's legal cannabis landscape owes an immense debt of gratitude to the bravery, persistence, and resilience of LGBTQIA pioneers. blog.mpp.org/blog/happy-prid…

The drug war all over again. I just used Australia as a recent example of the failure of high taxes, bans on THR and the predictable outcome of violence because of an enforcement only strategy. One more example of a drug war failure.

Both kratom and one of its active components, 7-OH, have opioid-like effects and are widely available across the US. As health secretary RFK Jr. aims to get 7-OH banned, proponents of both are fighting. New for @WIRED wired.com/story/the-kratom-c…

Fasten your seatbelts, bc here we go again, @WarOnDrugs 2.0. @Tobacco & @vapes. Violence, corruption, overworked police, expensive misdirected police services, unregulated dangerous products flooding neighborhoods, and more accessibility to kids. SMDH! youtube.com/watch?v=w3c98dOV…

Federal prohibition of hemp-derived THC products would destroy a $37.5 billion industry to solve a problem states are already handling. reason.com/2026/06/10/mitch-…

👀👀👀 Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger said she & lawmakers have been having "really productive" & "incredible" conversations about a compromise approach to legalizing marijuana sales that could pass as part of budget legislation this month. marijuanamoment.net/virginia…

‘Why Overdose Deaths Are Falling—and It Isn’t Because of the Drug War’ by @dr4liberty “If bombing traffickers and escalating interdiction were meaningfully reducing supply, illicit drug prices should be rising. Instead, black markets continue to deliver cheaper, more potent, and more easily transported substances. After more than 50 years of failure, the drug war remains far better at generating black markets than saving lives.” acsh.org/news/2026/06/05/why…

The North Carolina House Agriculture and Environment Committee approved an amended bill to restrict hemp and kratom products to people over the age of 21. marijuanamoment.net/north-ca…

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed into law a bill that doubles the state’s cannabis possession limits, allows drive-through and curbside pickup, and creates strict new rules for hemp-derived cannabinoid products.themarijuanaherald.com/2026/…

New Bill In Congress Would Let States Force Federal Reclassification Of Drugs Like Marijuana And Psychedelics: Evaluations should be made with "the best scientific evidence of today, not decades-old processes and outdated knowledge." marijuanamoment.net/new-bill…

Shoddy police work is an understatement. Incompetence from start to finish given the gravity of the the crime.

THC-positive drug screens among pediatric patients in Illinois emergency departments “did not increase with state cannabis legalization,” according to a new study published in The Western Journal of Emergency Medicine. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/…

🌿 The evidence linking marijuana legalization and lower opioid overdose rates keeps getting harder to ignore. These findings add to decades of research showing that states with legal cannabis access experience fewer opioid-related harms, not more. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/05/29/an…

👇🏻I absolutely applaud and support this legislation

A ballot initiative that would repeal marijuana legalization for non-medical use will be decided by voters in November, the state’s highest court ruled. trib.al/dbh7KKW

Wow, is this walking scared?

"Another Point of View: Reefer Madness!" Authors: Stacy D’Andre, MD (Mayo Clinic) and Donald Abrams, MD (UCSF Professor Emeritus) offer a response to a study by Johnson et al. on cannabis legalization and rising breast/testicular cancer rates in young Americans/Canadians. Main Critique: The study's conclusions are overstated and do not prove causality. It is an ecological/population-level analysis that does not track individual cannabis use or exposure. Alternative Explanations for Rising Cancers: Other factors like processed/ultraprocessed foods (62% of caloric intake in young Americans), obesity, sedentary lifestyle, environmental exposures, gut microbiome changes, tobacco, and alcohol are more plausible contributors with longer exposure periods. Rapid Timeline Issue: Cancer increases occurred too quickly for cannabis to be a potent carcinogen (would expect multi-year/decade lag). If endocrine disruption were involved, observed breast cancers would likely be triple-negative. Testicular Cancer Association: National Academies (NASEM) found only limited evidence linking cannabis to non-seminoma germ cell tumors. This is likely confounded by demographics (young men use cannabis and get testicular cancer) — correlation, not causation (compared to açaí bowls and skin cancer). Broader Claims: Allegations of cannabis links to 25/41 cancers echo the 1930s film Reefer Madness. NASEM found moderate evidence of no association with lung/oropharyngeal cancers; co-use of tobacco/alcohol (common in cannabis use disorder) explains more harm. Immunotherapy Interaction: Cited negative study on cannabis immunotherapy has methodological flaws and has been contradicted by later research showing no worse outcomes. Overall Assessment: The paper is hypothesis-generating only (observational, no longitudinal patient tracking). ascopost.com/issues/june-10-…

In the are you kidding me moment? But actually I’m thinking #FFS sure let’s turn over the market to criminals aka and cartels. History ever repeating itself.
