A federal science agency has added dozens of new marijuana components to an official government library of compounds that is used to help identify unknown substances in food, drugs, cosmetics, the environment, body fluids and forensic evidence. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced last week that the cannabis components were being added as part of a broader update to its library of mass spectra measured from hundreds of thousands of compounds, known formally as Standard Reference Database 1A. The minor cannabinoids, NIST said, are “trace chemicals hidden inside the cannabis plant that are being explored for medical uses, including pain relief.” In response to a query from Marijuana Moment, NIST officials specified that 41 new spectra related to cannabinoid compounds have been added in this update on top of the 80 that were already included in the library. “By introducing 41 new cannabinoid compounds to the NIST26 library—bringing the total to 121—this expanded collection continues to reflect a strategic selection of compounds that are of significant importance to numerous fields including forensics, biomedical research, food science and environmental chemistry,” NIST data scientist Tytus Mak, who selects the compounds that are added to the database, told Marijuana Moment. To build out the NIST Mass Spectral Library, scientists use a mass spectrometer to effectively generate chemical fingerprints for compounds. The device “ionizes and shatters a compound into charged fragments and then sorts those fragments by their mass-to-charge ratio,” the agency said. When researchers or product manufacturers find a compound of unknown identity, they can us their own mass spectrometry device and then compare the results to NIST’s library to find a match. “Just as a person may be identified by comparing their DNA to a database, a chemical compound may be identified by comparing its mass spectrum to the NIST database,” Bill Wallace, group leader of NIST’s Mass Spectrometry Data Center, said. Who you gonna call when you’re spooked by a mystery compound? NIST! NIST has updated its comprehensive list of chemical fingerprints, called mass spectra, that others rely on to identify unknown compounds in food, drugs, and even space rocks. https://t.co/9J0TJUj4yc pic.twitter.com/UzK7kXAJ3E — National Institute of Standards and Technology (@NIST) June 9, 2026 With respect to the new cannabis-related additions, a summary provided to Marijuana Moment by NIST says that its preexisting library was “excellent for identifying standard, classical cannabinoids and major human metabolites” but that the newly added compounds “fill a specific analytical gap.” “The most significant takeaway is that the new additions focus heavily on rare alkyl side-chain homologs and their analytical derivatives, expanding the library well beyond the standard cannabis compounds,” it said. “They provide the reference spectra needed to identify rare plant variants, degradation artifacts and minor homologs that are becoming increasingly relevant in modern cannabis testing.” The agency noted that it chooses which compounds to add to its library using outside databases and lists to understand which are broadly “important to chemists,” and that it “prioritizes those found on multiple lists.” The expansion of the cannabinoid portion of the libray focuses on adding rare side-chain homologs, abnormal and exo isomers, derivatives and epoxidation products. See below for the full list of compounds now in the NIST library, with asterisks next to new additions: .delta.-9-Tetrahydrocannabinoic acid a .DELTA.8-Tetrahydrocannabinol .DELTA.8-Tetrahydrocannabinol .DELTA.8-Tetrahydrocannabinol, TBDMS derivative @ .DELTA.8-Tetrahydrocannabivarin .DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabinol .DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, TBDMS derivative @ .DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, TMS derivative @ .DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol * .DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol, acetate * .DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol, methyl ether * .DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol, TMS * .delta.9-Tetrahydrocannabivarin .DELTA.11-Tetrahydrocannabinol (.+/-.)-.DELTA.9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (.+/-.)-11-Hydroxy-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol (.+/-.)-11-Nor-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (.+/-.)-Cannabichromene (.+/-.)-Cannabicyclol (.+/-.)-Cannabicyclol, acetate (.+/-.)-Cannabicyclol, methyl ester (.+/-.)-Cannabicyclol, TMS (+)-11-Nor-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid glucuronide 1′-Hydroxycannabinol 1′-Oxocannabinol 1(R),2(S)-Epoxy cannabidiol * 1(R),2(S)-epoxy Cannabidiol, dimethyl ether * 1(R),2(S)-Epoxy cannabidiol, O,O-diacetate- * 1(R),2(S)-epoxy Cannabidiol, TMS * 1(R),2(S)-Epoxycannabidiol * 11-Hydroxy-.DELTA.-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, bis(trimethylsilyl) ether 11-Hydroxy-.DELTA.-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, O,O’-bis(trifluoroacetyl)- 11-Hydroxy-.DELTA.-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivative 11-Hydroxy-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol 11-Hydroxy-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol 11-Hydroxy-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol, 2TBDMS derivative @ 11-Hydroxycannabinol 11-Nor-.delta.-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid 11-Nor-9-carboxy-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol 8.alpha.-Hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol, bis(trimethylsilyl) ether 8.beta.,11-Dihydroxy-.delta.-9-tetrahydrocannabinol Abnormal cannabidivarin * Abnormal cannabidivarin, 2TMS * Abnormal cannabidivarin, acetate * Abnormal cannabidivarin, diacetate * Abnormal cannabivarin, TMS Bis-trimethylsilyl-.delta.-9-tetrahydrocannabinol acid b Cannabibutol * Cannabibutol, acetate * Cannabibutol, methyl ether * Cannabibutol, TMS * Cannabichromene Cannabicitran Cannabicoumaronone Cannabidihexol * Cannabidiol Cannabidiol Cannabidiol dimethyl ether Cannabidiol-C8 * Cannabidiol-C8 * Cannabidiol-C8, 2TMS * Cannabidiol-C8, O,O-diacetate * Cannabidiol, 2Ac derivative Cannabidiol, 2TFA Cannabidiol, 2TMS derivative @ Cannabidiol, Ac derivative Cannabidiolic acid Cannabidiolic acid, 3TMS Cannabidiorocol Cannabidiphorol Cannabidivarin Cannabidivarin diacetate * Cannabidivarin, 2TMS Cannabidivarol Cannabigerohexol * Cannabigerol Cannabigerol dimethyl ether * Cannabigerol monomethyl ether * Cannabigerol monomethyl ether, TMS * Cannabigerorcin Cannabigerorcinic acid Cannabigerorcinic acid, 3TMS * Cannabigerorcinic acid, dimethyl ether, methyl ester Cannabigerovarin Cannabihexol * Cannabihexol, acetate * Cannabihexol, methyl ether * Cannabihexol, TMS * Cannabinol Cannabinol ethyl * Cannabinol ethyl, acetate * Cannabinol ethyl, methyl ether * Cannabinol ethyl, TMS * Cannabinol methyl derivative Cannabinol, acetate Cannabinol, heptafluorobutyrate Cannabinol, pentafluoropropionate Cannabinol, TBDMS derivative @ Cannabinol, TMS derivative @ Cannabinol, trifluoroacetate Cannabipiperidiethanone Cannabispiran Cannabivarin Cannabivarinselsoin * Cannabivarinselsoin, methyl ether * Deoxy Cannabidiol Eucannabinolide Eucannabinolide, 2TMS exo-Tetrahydrocannabivarin * exo-Tetrahydrocannabivarin, methyl ether * exo-Tetrahydrocannabivarin, TMS * Hexahydrocannabi-1,10.beta.diol Hexahydrocannabinol Hydroxy-.delta. 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, 8-.alpha.

Abigail Spanberger (D) and legislative leaders “have a deal” to legalize recreational marijuana sales through the budget this month, a key lawmaker has announced. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) signed a large-scale cannabis omnibus bill into law that doubles the amount of marijuana that adults can legally possess, significantly restricts hemp THC products and makes other changes to rules for how licensed businesses can operate. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) filed a bill to overhaul how drugs like marijuana, psychedelics and others are evaluated for scheduling under the Controlled Substances Act—for example by effectively letting states force federal reclassification by changing their own laws. The Marijuana Policy Project published an analysis of how “interstate commerce between licensed businesses would…be presumably federally legal” under the Trump administration’s cannabis rescheduling move. Ukraine’s Ministry of Health announced that the country’s medical cannabis program is officially operational, with the first THC products being dispensed to two military veterans and a woman with multiple sclerosis. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court rejected a lawsuit challenging a proposed ballot measure to roll back marijuana legalization—ruling that it does not violate the state Constitution. New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R) vetoed a bill to allow medical cannabis businesses to cultivate in greenhouses, a reform intended to increase supply and lower prices for patients. 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. The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission reported that more than 100 patients purchased marijuana products during the first week of legal sales in the state. / FEDERAL The Drug Enforcement Administration promoted an article claiming that marijuana use is linked to a 50 percent lower chance of graduating high school. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said in a Senate floor speech that “we have seen how outdated mandatory minimum policies stemming from the failed ‘War on Drugs’ continue to impose lengthy, one-size-fits- all sentences for many nonviolent drug offenses. They don’t deter crime; instead, they overcrowd prisons and strain budgets.” / STATES Kansas Democratic gubernatorial candidates discussed medical cannabis during a debate. The Oklahoma attorney general’s Organized Crime Task Force touted enforcement actions against allegedly illegal marijuana manufacturing operations. Pennsylvania’s Senate minority leader said the state’s medical cannabis program “should be used as a steppingstone to expand to adult and recreational use.” A Virginia senator criticized marijuana penalties that Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) proposed adding to a recreational cannabis sales legalization bill.

“Our store manager saw a patient walking out, and as silly as it sounds, they jumped and clicked their heels. Yeah, they were that happy about having that medicine.” By Anna Barrett, Alabama Reflector Over 100 qualifying patients have purchased medical cannabis since Alabama’s first dispensary opened, the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission said Thursday. The state’s first legal medical cannabis provider, Callie’s Apothecary, opened its first location in Montgomery on June 4 following a “soft opening” the day before. Justin Aday, general counsel for the commission, said Thursday that 102 patients have purchased medical cannabis products in 111 transactions. Those transactions have generated about $14,600 in pre-tax sales with the average transaction being $131.56, Aday said. Vince Schilleci, owner of Callie’s, said in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that the last week of business has been rewarding. “I’m seeing a lot of happy patients,” he said. “Our store manager saw a patient walking out, and as silly as it sounds, they jumped and clicked their heels. Yeah, they were that happy about having that medicine.” According to the patient menu on Callie’s website, each product ranges from $42 to $52 each. Schilleci said that the dispensary got its second shipment of products on Thursday and expects another one on Friday, which will help meet the demand of patients. “We’ve had to—I hate to use this term ration—but we’ve limited how much patients could purchase, just because we knew how many patients were coming on board, and we at least wanted people to have a chance to have something,” Schilleci said. “We’ve lifted the rationing now, so patients can come down and buy their full 60-day allotment if they choose.” Aday said that as of Thursday morning, 481 patients have applied for a cannabis card and 446 of them have been issued one by the AMCC. The Alabama medical cannabis law, enacted in 2021, allows registered physicians to recommend cannabis for about 15 medical conditions, including cancer, depression, Parkinson’s Disease, PTSD, sickle-cell anemia, chronic pain and terminal diseases. The approved product forms are restricted to tablets, tinctures, patches, oils and gel cubes (only peach flavor), with raw plant material and smokable forms remaining prohibited. As of Thursday, there are 52 physicians certified to recommend medical cannabis to patients in Alabama, according to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners. Aday said 39 are registered with the AMCC, with three pending, and 21 of the physicians have made medical cannabis recommendations to patients. “We’re certainly looking forward to more of these patients being able to get to that dispensary and seeing other dispensaries open that will provide more geographic coverage for them,” Aday said. “We’re working diligently with processors in the lab on new products that are being manufactured so that the dispensary can maintain an inventory of products and a variety of products in that inventory to serve the patients that are visiting them.” Litigation has also held up access to medical cannabis. Some firms sued the commission for not being awarded a license, citing a discriminatory process. Another case involved five parents that sued the commission over delays in access to cannabis, which was dismissed in August. Licenses for three of the four possible dispensary companies were not approved until December. Three of the companies, CCS of Alabama, LLC, GP6 Wellness, LLC and RJK Holdings, LLC, have licenses and are expected to open their storefronts this summer, according to AMCC Director John McMillan. A fourth license is pending litigation, but is likely to go to Yellowhammer Medical Dispensaries, LLC. “I would do it again just to see the smile on these patients’ faces. Now, I would hope a little bit easier, but it’s been worth it,” Schilleci said. “It’s been worth it. There’s no doubt.” This story was first published by Alabama Reflector.

“There are a lot of other details surrounding cannabis that have been discussed and will continue to be discussed.” By Christine Zhu, NC Newsline North Carolina lawmakers are considering banning individuals under 21 from buying or possessing certain hemp-derived consumable products, including smokable hemp flower, hemp cigarettes, gummies and beverages, or any items that include the drug kratom. The House Agriculture and Environment Committee approved a rewrite of Senate Bill 59 on Wednesday. It’s the latest attempt by state lawmakers to regulate the sale of hemp products after years of proposals that ultimately didn’t succeed. The measure would prohibit businesses from selling these products to those under 21. If a seller has “reasonable grounds” to believe the prospective buyer is under 21, the seller must check the buyer’s ID. Rep. Jimmy Dixon (R-Duplin), who presented the bill, said he was motivated to draw public attention to issues surrounding cannabis. He said there was a 14-year-old in his district who wound up in the emergency room after purchasing a hemp-derived product. “There are a lot of other details surrounding cannabis that have been discussed and will continue to be discussed, but ladies and gentlemen, to be sure we’ve got the good sense to be an agent on these types of problems, that is the lowest hanging fruit there is,” he said. Those found in violation of the measure would face a Class 2 misdemeanor as well as a $500 fine for a first offense, $1,000 for a second offense and $1,500 for subsequent offenses. Rep. Pricey Harrison (D-Guilford) asked if the bill’s language accounted for potential modifications to hemp-derived products. It’s common for makers of synthetic recreational drugs to make changes to their products’ chemical makeup to get around legal bans or restrictions. “I assume the way the definition is as written is broad enough that it captures any future manipulation of molecules,” she said. Dixon nodded in the affirmative. Legislators also voted in favor of an amendment to add kratom products to the under-21 ban. Rep. Jeffrey McNeely (R-Iredell), who proposed the amendment, said he felt it was necessary to add those items to the bill. “I’ve worked on this for quite a while now, trying to put forth these bills,” McNeely said. “We’ve definitely got a problem. So I hope we keep bringing this to light, and we get something accomplished before we get out of short session here.” Both the amendment and the legislation passed unanimously without debate. The bill moves next to the House Rules Committee. Other amendments will be heard when it appears on the House floor, which could be as soon as next week.

“I do not support expanding the cultivation of marijuana in our state.” By William Skipworth, New Hampshire Bulletin Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R) quashed a bipartisan effort to make medicinal marijuana more affordable and available in New Hampshire. Senate Bill 468, sponsored by Loudon Republican Sen. Howard Pearl, would allow medicinal marijuana dispensaries to have their own greenhouse on site. The idea is to increase supply and lower prices. Each dispensary would be limited to one greenhouse to grow their own cannabis. Ayotte vetoed the bill on Friday. “I do not support expanding the cultivation of marijuana in our state,” she wrote in her veto statement. “For this reason, I have vetoed SB 468.” New Hampshire legalized marijuana for medical use in 2013 while Maggie Hassan was governor. The law limits people to two ounces of marijuana and allows only a designated group of providers. The only dispensaries in the state are in Chichester, Conway, Dover, Keene, Lebanon, Merrimack and Plymouth, and they’re all operated by one of four nonprofit “alternative treatment centers.” New Hampshire residents need a medical marijuana card issued by a physician to shop at any of them. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Nationwide, 24 states have legalized the drug for recreational purposes and 39 for medical use. Ayotte has repeatedly opposed recreational legalization in New Hampshire, citing multiple factors. She’s worried about the fact that police are unable to measure a driver’s level of marijuana intoxication using current technology like they can with alcohol. She has also cited youth mental health and “quality of life.” It would take a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate to override Ayotte’s veto. The Legislature will meet later this year to vote on whether to do so. This story was first published by New Hampshire Bulletin. Unrelated context excised by Marijuana Moment.

The governor of Illinois has signed a large-scale cannabis omnibus bill into law that doubles the amount of marijuana that adults can legally possess, significantly restricts hemp THC products and makes other changes to rules for how licensed businesses can operate. Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday gave final approval to the legislation, which cleared the House of Representatives and Senate about two weeks ago. As enacted into law, SB 3222 allows residents of the state who are over 21 years of age to possess up to 60 grams of marijuana flower—double the amount in prior law. They are also able to have up to 10 grams of cannabis concentrates and infused products with up to 1,000 mg of THC—also double the earlier limit. Possession amounts for adult non-residents are also doubled under the bill. People with past convictions for possession of up to 60 grams of marijuana will now be able to have those records expunged—double the previous cutoff allowing only those with convictions for up to 30 grams to be eligible. The legislation also recriminalizes hemp THC products with more than 04. milligrams of THC per container, in line with a federal ban that is set to take effect in November. “Instead of letting an ambiguous marketplace keep putting people at risk, Illinois is taking action to protect consumers of all ages, especially children, from misleading packaging and labeling,” Pritzker said in a press release. “This landmark legislation closes the intoxicating hemp loophole while bolstering equity and oversight and expanding medical access. Illinois is committed to cultivating a cannabis industry that benefits diverse businesses across the state and prioritizes accessibility, and I am proud to sign this measure into law.” Illinois continues to set the standard for opportunity, equity, and safety in the adult legal cannabis industry. Today, I’m signing legislation to ban the sale of intoxicating hemp to those under 21 to protect our kids, streamlining licensing, and strengthening oversight. pic.twitter.com/HEnEdSWe7e — Governor JB Pritzker (@GovPritzker) June 12, 2026 Among other changes, the bill also allows drive-thrus and curbside pickup at dispensaries, permits them to stay open until 2 a.m. and makes it so medical cannabis certifications can be issued via telehealth. Canopy limits for craft cannabis cultivators will be expanded form 5,000 to 14,000 square feet, and the new law loosens some security requirements for marijuana businesses while also waiving or reducing fees for smaller operators. In 2019, Pritzker signed the state’s initial marijuana legalization policy into law. While the broader restrictions on hemp products take effect in the state on November 12 in conjunction with the similar federal move, sales to people under 21 are prohibited immediately, The legislation separately allows all marijuana dispensaries to register to sell medical cannabis specifically. The list of medical marijuana qualifying conditions is also being expanded to add female orgasmic disorder, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. “Illinois has led the nation in building a cannabis industry that prioritizes both equity and public safety, and SB 3222 builds on that progress,” Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton said. “By protecting young people from unregulated intoxicating hemp products and creating clear standards for the industry, we are ensuring consumers are safer while preserving opportunities for diverse businesses and communities across our state.” Photo courtesy of Mike Latimer.

“The proposed measure does not place voters in ‘the untenable position of casting a single vote on two or more dissimilar subjects.'” By Chris Lisinski, CommonWealth Beacon A controversial push to revoke recreational marijuana legalization remains on track to be decided by voters after the state’s highest court on Friday rejected a legal challenge seeking to toss the measure. The Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the attorney general’s office properly certified and summarized the question, whose campaign is funded by a national dark-money group fighting legal drug use in multiple states. If organizers collect enough signatures this month—which is nearly guaranteed given that the final haul required is far less than an earlier signature threshold—the measure will lock in a spot on the November ballot, tasking Bay Staters with choosing whether to walk back their 2016 vote to legalize and launch a multibillion-dollar recreational cannabis industry. The campaign has been fraught with controversy, both over the policy particulars and over the route taken. Earlier this year, opponents alleged that the campaign obtained signatures “fraudulently” by misleading voters and describing the question as related to affordable housing or funding public parks. The State Ballot Law Commission dismissed the challenge. The lawsuit before the SJC took another approach. In that case, plaintiffs argued that Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s (D) office should have deemed the question ineligible because it combined unrelated topics and would allow a “taking of private property without providing compensation.” They also contended that the AG’s summary failed to communicate to voters that the ballot question would eliminate marijuana industry social equity grants—which the plaintiffs themselves received—and some cannabis-related penalties. Justices disagreed. The question’s “limited effects on the regulation of medical marijuana” do not rise to an improper comingling of discrete topics, Justice Elizabeth Dewar wrote in the decision. The sections of the ballot measure that would eliminate social equity programs and mandatory host community agreements “all bear an operational relationship” to the proposal’s primary goal, she added. “As the plaintiffs argue, there indeed may be voters who favor restricting recreational marijuana but do not favor eliminating these other aspects of the current regulatory regime in relation to medical marijuana,” Dewar wrote. “Nonetheless, the proposed measure does not place voters in ‘the untenable position of casting a single vote on two or more dissimilar subjects.’” The court also ruled that the AG’s written summary is sufficient, even with a broad generalization of the existing laws the question would repeal. Justices noted, as case law has found, that “the summary is not the only source of information for voters”—a line that could play a role in a forthcoming decision about a ballot question seeking to cut the income tax rate, which also faces an eligibility challenge hinging on the official summary. Three other SJC decisions on ballot questions are expected in the coming weeks: the income tax cut, a measure seeking to revive rent control with a strict statewide cap, and a proposal to place all primary election candidates on a single ballot regardless of party. Those rulings, plus ongoing talks about compromise legislation that could replace ballot questions, will decide the final size of the field this November. If every proposal advances to the ballot, it would be a record 11 questions.
