Texas health officials have released a set of proposed rules to regulate the state’s hemp market—including provisions related to age-gating, licensing fees, testing requirements, packaging restrictions and more in response to an executive order the governor signed in September. The proposal would also shift hemp to a total THC standard, rather than the current one that limits delta-9 THC content alone, which advocates say will eliminate some popular products from the market. Various state agencies have been taking steps to align their policies with the governor’s order, and now the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is outlining its plan to expand and codify hemp rules in a notice published in the Texas Register on Friday. One of the more significant provisions makes it so consumable hemp products could not be sold to people under 21. That policy is already in place under an emergency rule the agency adopted in October, so officials are now seeking to finalize it. There would also be increased licensing fees for hemp businesses under the rules, which DSHS CFO Christy Havel Burton said would mean the industry “may incur economic costs” in the first five years of implementation. “Some retailers and manufacturers may incur costs associated with compliance with age verification requirements, depending on the methodology and equipment used to verify identification and to ensure minors are not sold consumable hemp products,” she said. The rule—which is open to public comment until January 26—would also prohibit transporting products containing more than 0.3 percent THC into Texas for additional processing and require hemp products to be secured in packaging that’s “tamper-evident, child-resistant and non-attractive to children.” State code would additionally be amended to explicitly prohibit labeling cannabis products in a way that misleads consumers “to believe products do not contain hemp-derived cannabinoids or are intended for medical use,” the notice says. There are also a series of more technical policy changes related to product tracking, record-keeping, recall procedures and testing requirements. While hemp businesses may incur financial costs to get into compliance with the new rule, an economic estimate included in the notice says the government would see an increase in revenue of about $202 million for the first five years after it takes effect. Timothy Stevenson, deputy commissioner of DSHS’s Consumer Protection Division, additionally said that “the public benefit will be increased public health requirements for the manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of CHPs along with prohibited availability and access of CHPs to minors.” A public hearing on the proposed rules is scheduled for January 9. Heather Fazio of the Texas Cannabis Policy Center said in an email to supporters that the rules “include some important, long-overdue consumer protections,” but she also cautioned that in other ways the proposal “raises serious concerns.” She said the fee increases for operators are “dramatic” and “would place enormous strain on small businesses, micro-businesses, and rural retailers.” The shift to a total THC standard, meanwhile, “would effectively eliminate hemp flower from the legal market,” Fazio said. “Removing regulated access to the most common and least processed hemp product does not eliminate demand—it pushes consumers into unregulated markets with no testing, no age checks, and no consumer protections,” she said. (Disclosure: Fazio supports Marijuana Moment’s work with a monthly pledge on Patreon.) After the governor issued the emergency order barring hemp sales, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) separately put forward temporary emergency rules to codify the policy change—and earlier this month it released plans to adopt an amended regulation on the issue permanently after receiving public and stakeholder input. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

The department will issue conditional licenses to three additional dispensaries by April 2026. This represents a major change to the program, as there are currently only three dispensaries licensed to operate in Texas. DPS in October adopted additional rules to increase the number of licensed dispensaries, establishing security requirements for “satellite” locations and authorizing the revocation of licenses for certain violations. DSHS also recently finalized rules allowing doctors to recommend new qualifying conditions for cannabis patients and creating standards for allowable low-THC inhalation devices. For what it’s worth, a survey from a GOP pollster affiliated with President Donald Trump found that Texas Democratic and Republican voters are unified in their opposition to the hemp ban proposal.

An Exploration of the Psychedelic Experience through Design & Branding with Libby Cooper, Co-Founder of Space Coyote

Hello, this weekend is good for me, since this time i am reading this enormous informative article here at my home. https://www.aerogaga.com/ -
Ohio activists announced on Monday that they’ve met an initial signature requirement to launch a campaign aimed at repealing key components of a bill the governor recently signed to scale back the state’s voter-approved marijuana law and ban the sale of consumable hemp products outside of licensed cannabis dispensaries. Ohioans for Cannabis Choice said they’ve submitted a batch of 1,000 signatures to get the referendum process started. If the signatures are certified by the secretary of state, the campaign will then need to submit a total of about 250,000 signatures to make the ballot. The proposed referendum would repeal the first three core sections of SB 56, a controversial bill that Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed into law earlier this month that he says is intended to crack down on the unregulated intoxicating hemp market. But the legislation would do more than restrict the sale of cannabinoid products to dispensaries. The law also recriminalizes certain marijuana activity that was legalized under the ballot initiative voters approved in 2023, and it’d additionally remove anti-discrimination protections for cannabis consumers that were enacted under that law. The governor additionally used his line-item veto powers to cancel a section of the bill that would have delayed the implementation of the ban on hemp beverages. “We’re saying no to SB 56 because it recriminalizes the cannabis industry,” Wesley Bryant, a petitioner with the referendum campaign who owns the cannabis company 420 Craft Beverages, said. “SB 56 is a slap in the face to voters who overwhelmingly voted to legalize cannabis in 2023.” Advocates and stakeholders strongly protested the now-enacted legislation, arguing that it undermines the will of voters who approved cannabis legalization and would effectively eradicate the state’s hemp industry, as there are low expectations that adults will opt for hemp-based products over marijuana when they visit a dispensary. The pushback inspired the newly filed referendum—but the path to successfully blocking the law is narrow. If activists reach the signature threshold by the deadline three months from now, which coincides with the same day the restrictive law is to take effect, SB 56 would not be implemented until voters got a chance to decide on the issue at the ballot. “In filing our petitions today, we are taking a stand for Ohioans against politicians in Columbus and saying no to the government overreach of SB 56,” Bryant said. A summary of the referendum states that “Sections 1, 2, and 3 of Am. Sub. S. B. No. 56 enact new provisions and amend and repeal existing provisions of the Ohio Revised Code that relate to the regulation, criminalization, and taxation of cannabis products, such as the sale, use, possession, cultivation, license, classification, transport, and manufacture of marijuana and certain hemp products.” “If a majority of the voters vote to not approve Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Act, then the enacted changes will not take effect and the prior version of the affected laws will remain in effect,” it says. Joey Ellwood, a hemp farmer who signed the referendum petition, said “Ohioans oppose recriminalizing cannabis.” “And this is just the start,” he said. “Politicians in Columbus won’t stop until marijuana and hemp are completely illegal in Ohio again.” Andrew Greene, another petitioner who also works at a cannabis distribution center, said “these out-of-touch politicians are hellbent on recriminalizing marijuana and hemp products.” Advocates have flagged a series of concerns with the law, pointing out, for example, that it would eliminate language in statute providing anti-discrimination protections for people who lawfully use cannabis. That includes protections meant to prevent adverse actions in the context of child custody rights, the ability to qualify for organ transplants and professional licensing. It would also recriminalize possessing marijuana from any source that isn’t a state-licensed dispensary in Ohio or from a legal homegrow. As such, people could be charged with a crime for carrying cannabis they bought at a legal retailer in neighboring Michigan. Additionally, it would ban smoking cannabis at outdoor public locations such as bar patios—and it would allow landlords to prohibit vaping marijuana at rented homes. Violating that latter policy, even if it involves vaping in a person’s own backyard at a rental home, would constitute a misdemeanor offense. The legislation would also replace what had been a proposed regulatory framework for intoxicating hemp that the House had approved with a broad prohibition on sales outside marijuana dispensaries following a recent federal move to recriminalize such products. Under the law, hemp items with more than 0.4 mg of total THC per container, or those containing synthetic cannabinoids, could no longer be sold outside of a licensed marijuana dispensary setting. That would align with a recently enacted federal hemp law included in an appropriations package signed by President Donald Trump. The federal law imposing a ban on most consumable hemp products has a one-year implementation window, however, and it appears the Ohio legislation would take effect sooner. As passed by the legislature, a temporary regulatory program for hemp beverages would have stayed in place in Ohio until December 31, 2026, but that provision was vetoed by the governor. The law also includes language stipulating that, if the federal government moves to legalize hemp with higher THC content, it’s the intent of the Ohio legislature to review that policy change and consider potential state-level reforms to regulate such products. The bill signing came months after DeWine issued emergency rules prohibiting the sale of intoxicating hemp products for 90 days, with instructions to the legislature to consider permanent regulations. A county judge has enjoined the state from enforcing that policy in response to a legal challenge. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

The proposal came weeks after Ohio medical and adult-use marijuana sales officially crossed $3 billion, data from the state Department of Commerce (DOC) shows. The state sold about $703 million in recreational cannabis in the law’s first year of implementation, according to DCC data. In March, a survey of 38 municipalities by the Ohio State University’s (OSU) Moritz College of Law found that local leaders were “unequivocally opposed” to earlier proposals that would have stripped the planned funding. Meanwhile in Ohio, adults as of June are able to buy more than double the amount of marijuana than they were under previous limits, with state officials determining that the market can sustainably supply both medical cannabis patients and adult consumers. The governor in March separately announced his desire to reallocate marijuana tax revenue to support police training, local jails and behavioral health services. He said funding police training was a top priority, even if that wasn’t included in what voters passed in 2023. Photo courtesy of Brian Shamblen.

Support our work at https://www.patreon.com/marijuanamoment / TOP THINGS TO KNOW A new Congressional Research Service report suggests that the Department of Justice could ignore President Donald Trump’s marijuana rescheduling directive or slow the process by filing a new proposed rule on the issue instead of enacting one left over from the Biden administration. “At the time the executive order was issued, the agencies had not taken final action on the proposed rescheduling, and it remains to be seen whether and when they will do so.” Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D) spoke about what she wants to see in a bill to legalize recreational marijuana sales if she’s going to sign it—including “strong labeling” provisions and directing revenue toward education. A newly filed Arizona ballot initiative would reverse the legalization of recreational marijuana sales while continuing to allow personal possession and home cultivation. A new poll shows that 53 percent of American voters support legalizing marijuana—including majorities in every political, age, race and gender demographic. The American Nurses Association and the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology are praising President Donald Trump’s marijuana rescheduling move, saying it will open doors to expanded research on the potential health benefits of cannabis. / FEDERAL President Donald Trump reportedly planned to announce on social media that he would move to reschedule marijuana shortly after an Oval Office meeting on the topic earlier this month but White House aides urged him not to. The Congressional Research Service noted a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruling on marijuana consumers’ gun rights. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) tweeted, “We cannot reindustrialize America while encouraging marijuana use. We should not be handing tax breaks to bad actors and foreign drug cartels to advertise a drug that will harm Americans.” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) tweeted, “As we face the dual mental health and addiction crises, we must expand options for care. The Freedom to Heal Act would reduce barriers for physicians to use innovative and potentially lifesaving treatments, like MDMA and psilocybin. Recovery should be possible for everyone.” / STATES Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) tweeted, “Colorado’s world-class marijuana industry drives out criminals and cartels and is supporting Colorado businesses and jobs while driving revenue for school construction. This important milestone is one that our state can continue to build on.” Maine regulators said they don’t anticipate any changes to state marijuana laws in response to federal rescheduling. New Jersey regulators posted an update on cannabis social equity businesses. Washington State marijuana regulators launched a rules tracking tool. U.S. Virgin Islands regulators are accepting cannabis research and development applications. Missouri marijuana regulators published the latest episode of their podcast. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies completed a therapy training initiative supporting clinicians participating in a Department of Defense-funded study on MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD in active-duty military personnel.

A bipartisan majority of American voters across nearly all major demographics—age, race, gender and political affiliation—support legalizing marijuana, according to a new poll released just days after President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing agencies to enact the more incremental reform of cannabis rescheduling. The survey, conducted by JL Partners and commissioned by The Daily Mail, showed that 53 percent of registered U.S. voters back legalization. That includes 62 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of Republicans. The poll asked simply: “Would you support or oppose legalizing marijuana?” While there was majority support among all age demographics, those 30-49 years old were the more supportive at 61 percent. But even 50 percent of those 65 and older, historically the most conservative age category, back the policy change. Fifty-eight percent of men favor legalization, while 50 percent of women support the reform. The survey involved interviews with 1,000 registered voters from December 20-21. That means it was conducted beginning just two days after Trump directed the attorney general to expeditiously complete the process of moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The move wouldn’t federally legalize cannabis, however, and administration officials stressed at the signing ceremony for the rescheduling order that legalization was not their intent. What rescheduling would do, however, is symbolically recognize the medical value of marijuana, allow cannabis businesses to take federal tax deductions and loosen certain research barriers associated with Schedule I drugs. The latest poll from the Daily Mail is generally consistent with the growing bipartisanship around marijuana legalization, but another recent survey from YouGov showed Republicans evenly divided on the issue, with 41 percent in favor and 41 percent against the broader reform. However, bipartisan majorities of Americans said in that survey that they support federally rescheduling marijuana. Separately, a majority of respondents in the YouGov poll (76 percent) also said marijuana either “definitely” (43 percent) or “probably” (33 percent) has “legitimate medical uses.” On that question, there was also bipartisan agreement. Democrats were most likely to say cannabis has medical value (84 percent), followed by independents (74 percent) and Republicans (73 percent). — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Congressional researchers also recently released a report noting that there’s a chance the Justice Department could opt to start the process all over again, or even not complete it at all. But as prior polling has indicated, it’s a politically popular reform across the aisle. The president said this month that cannabis can “make people feel much better” and serve as a “substitute for addictive and potentially lethal opioid painkillers.” He clarified, however, that he personally has no interest in using marijuana himself. Trump also dismissed the concerns of GOP lawmakers who oppose rescheduling, pointing out that an overwhelming majority of Americans support the reform and that cannabis can help people—including his personal friends—who are suffering from serious health issues.

The Democratic governor-elect of Virginia is laying out what “needs to be” included in a marijuana sales legalization bill in order for her to sign it into law—such as “strong labeling” requirements and allocating tax revenue toward education. In an interview with WDBJ7 that was published on Friday, incoming Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D), who supports cannabis reform, was asked about the future of marijuana policy in the commonwealth under her administration. “Right now is that we live in this gray space where there’s some legality to marijuana, there’s some illegality,” she said. “There’s a lot of questions—a lot of confusion—and that creates real problems for Virginians who might currently have the legal ability to buy it for medicinal needs, or for those who might try to fall under the personal use.” Cannabis has been legal to possess and cultivate for adult use since 2021, but there’s currently no retail access for non-medical marijuana. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who leaves office next month, has vetoed bills passed by the legislature to establish a commercial recreational cannabis market—but advocates have been encouraged by Spanberger’s position in favor of the policy change. “A consumer should always know what they are buying, and so that means strong labeling,” the governor-elect said. “That means understanding the strength… If you go and you buy a pack of beer, you know what percentage alcohol that beer is, you know what proof a liquor is, so you have an understanding of what it is that you’re actually purchasing. I think that is extraordinarily important with all marijuana-related products.” “So it needs to be well-regulated, well-labeled, and the revenue needs to be part of ensuring facilitating that regulation,” she added. “And also, with any new revenue stream you get to decide where it goes, it is incredibly important to me that that new revenue stream, in addition to going towards regulation, be invested in education.” Meanwhile, earlier this month, Virginia’s Senate president pro tempore filed a bill to provide relief for people convicted of past cannabis crimes, mandating that individuals with certain offenses automatically receive resentencing hearings and have their punishments adjusted. Youngkin has vetoed similar proposals in past sessions. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Sen. Louise Lucas (D), the Senate president pro tempore, recently said the state should move forward with legalizing recreational marijuana sales—in part to offset the Trump administration’s cuts to federal spending in support of states.

Marijuana Moment: Arizona Ballot Measure Seeks To Roll Back Marijuana Legalization
Tokeativity posted a topic in Marijuana Moment
A newly filed ballot initiative in Arizona would repeal of key provisions of the state’s voter-approved marijuana legalization law by eliminating commercial sales, while still permitting possession and personal cultivation. The “Sensible Marijuana Policy Act for Arizona” is being spearheaded by Sean Noble, president of the political strategy firm American Encore. Paperwork to register the initiative was filed with the secretary of state’s office this month. This year has seen a series of attempts to roll back adult-use legalization laws, with anti-cannabis activists in Maine recently approved for signature gathering for a similar ballot initiative and a Massachusetts campaign clearing an initial signature threshold for their version that will first put the issue to lawmakers before it potentially heads to the ballot. The Arizona measure is distinct from those proposals in at least one significant policy area: It would not take away the rights of adults to grow up to six cannabis plants for personal use. Also, it explicitly preserves components of the law aimed at expunging prior marijuana records. Like the anti-cannabis proposals in other states, possession would remain lawful if voters chose to enact the initiative—and Arizona’s medical marijuana program would remain intact—but the commercial market for recreational cannabis that’s evolved since voters approved an adult-use legalization measure in 2020 would be quashed. “For adults that want to consume cannabis, they will be able to do that,” Noble told the Arizona Daily Star. But the GOP operative—who has worked with Republican legislators on efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and played a role opposing a failed attempt to legalize for adult use in 2016—said declining revenue and advertising rules he perceives as insufficient to deterring youth use puts the campaign at an advantage among voters. A findings section on the latest initiative states that “the proliferation of marijuana establishments and recreational marijuana sales in this state have produced unintended consequences and negative effects relating to the public health, safety, and welfare of Arizonans, including increased marijuana use among children, environmental concerns, increased demands for water resources, public nuisances, market instability, and illicit market activities.” “Arizona’s legal marijuana sales have declined for two consecutive years, resulting in less tax revenue for this state, while some patients have relied on recreational use of marijuana instead of utilizing the benefits of this state’s medical marijuana program,” it says. “Sensible marijuana policy in this state requires a partial repeal of the Smart and Safe Act and authorization of the Arizona Legislature to make conforming changes to other Arizona laws, including those that relate to advertising requirements and taxation of marijuana and marijuana products, to effectuate the stated purposes and provisions of this Act.” The initiative would also instruct the legislature to make conforming changes by amending existing statute as it relates to the commercial industry, including tax and advertising rules. In order to make the ballot, the campaign will need to collect 255,949 valid signatures by July 2. If the proposal goes to voters and is approved, it would take effect in January 2028. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Two major nurses associations are applauding the Trump administration’s move to federally reschedule marijuana, which they say will pave the path for expanded research into the potential health benefits of cannabis if the rule is finalized. After President Donald Trump signed an executive order this month directing the attorney general to complete the process of moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) put out statements commending the action. “Rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III advances public health by expanding access to rigorous research, supporting evidence-informed clinical care, and reinforcing patient safety through regulated study and oversight,” ANA—which also cheered the initial reclassification recommendation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Biden administration—said. “ANA supports the President’s executive order rescheduling cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act,” it said. “This action reflects scientific review and acknowledges evidence demonstrating that cannabis has accepted medical use and a safety profile consistent with Schedule III classification.” The modest reform provides “clearer alignment between federal policy and medical practice,” which in turn “supports more consistent guidance for health care professionals and patients while strengthening oversight and data collection,” the organization said. Representatives of AANA, meanwhile were invited to attend the signing ceremony in the Oval Office when Trump issued the cannabis order. The association’s president, Jeff Molter, said in a statement that “reclassification will expand opportunities for rigorous research into how cannabis and cannabinoids can provide pain relief, and how they interact with anesthesia and perioperative care, strengthening the science that underpins patient safety.” Certified nurse anesthetists “have been leaders in this important research, and this will open the door to more opportunities,” he said. “The AANA thanks the Trump administration for this important action which will prioritize patient safety and research, and we look forward to partnership with federal agencies and the clinical community to ensure implementation supports safe, high-quality anesthesia care.” Other healthcare groups, including the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), have also promoted the rescheduling move, similarly describing it as a policy change that will bolster future research into cannabis. With rescheduling now moving forward, some key House and Senate members recently previewed their priorities for additional reform—from giving cannabis businesses access to the banking system to legalizing marijuana altogether. Lawmakers in states like Pennsylvania and Tennessee have also said that the political effect of federal rescheduling could ultimately help as they work to enact local reforms in the next year.
