As a marijuana rescheduling proposal awaits President Donald Trump’s decision, some GOP members of Congress are urging him to move forward with the reform—with one lawmaker taking a jab at former President Joe Biden by joking that it’s possible the prior administration “must have not been able to find the autopen in time” to complete the cannabis reform process it initiated. While Biden directed federal agencies to undertake the review that led to a recommendation to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the process stalled out before he left office. Now, certain supporters of the reform have sought to appeal to Trump by casting the issue as an opportunity to outdo his predecessor. “When it comes to marijuana policy, it’s time for the Trump administration to do what the feckless Biden administration couldn’t, and wouldn’t,” Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) wrote in an op-ed for Newsmax that was published on Wednesday. He said that “like many things coming from the Biden administration, they simply failed to follow through.” “They must have not been able to find the autopen in time,” Fine said, referring to a conservative criticism of the former president’s administration for using an automated device to sign off on acts of clemency that Trump has suggested may thus be invalid. Fine also wrote that rescheduling would “help patients, veterans and consumers by removing marijuana from its outdated classification and moving forward with its rescheduling.” He said “keeping marijuana a Schedule I drug has terrible side effects that hurt even those opposed to any legalization,” in part by restricting research opportunities. “That’s crazy,” the congressman said. “I strongly oppose the legalization of recreational marijuana—but I just as strongly believe that medical research into its use is needed to understand how to make cannabis safer or to expand our understanding of both long-term and short-term effects of usage, especially for underage users! The Schedule I designation prevents that.” Fine also pointed out how rescheduling would normalize tax policy for state-licensed cannabis businesses, which are currently prevented from taking federal tax deductions under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code known as 280E. “We take their tax dollars, but they cannot take legitimate tax deductions for necessary business expenses,” he said. “No matter how I personally feel about the issue, in these states where voters have spoken, the business is up and running and should be treated like any other business.” “The time to reschedule marijuana is now and frankly, it makes no sense to wait any longer,” he concluded. “Rescheduling marijuana from I to III is not only the smart thing to do, it is the right thing to do.” Fine isn’t the only GOP congressmen working to advance rescheduling. Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, also discussed the issue in an op-ed published in The Washington Times on Tuesday. Mast emphasized that rescheduling would not federally legalize marijuana and “it isn’t about encouraging recreational use or opening more dispensaries.” “It’s about responsibly expanding medical access and research,” he said. “Across America, families, doctors and veterans are speaking out to support reform. By moving marijuana to Schedule III, we can expand research, strengthen oversight and build a health care system that better serves the people who depend on it.” Mast, a military veteran, touted legislation he sponsored alongside fellow Cannabis Caucus member Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) that would increase veterans’ access to state medical marijuana programs and eliminate a current U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) directive barring the department’s doctors from issuing cannabis recommendations. “Because marijuana remains a Schedule I drug, Veterans Affairs doctors are barred from prescribing it as an option for treatment, even though it has been proved to help,” he wrote. “The best way to honor our veterans is to ensure they have access to the most effective care possible. Keeping marijuana at Schedule I creates unnecessary barriers, denying veterans the treatments they need and deserve after sacrificing for our country.” Also, while prohibitionists have long argued that cannabis legalization at the state level would lead to an increase in youth use, “regulated markets have helped drive this reduction by limiting unsafe, unmonitored access,” Mast said. “Rescheduling would build on this success, strengthening oversight, protecting young people and ensuring cannabis is accessed safely, responsibly and legally,” he said. “I stand with Mr. Trump’s pledge to reschedule marijuana, a promise he reaffirmed during a recent press conference, recognizing its medical benefits and the opportunities it creates for jobs, medicine and research. Although these benefits alone would be a win for Americans, rescheduling would also protect Americans by curbing illicit markets and ensuring safer, regulated access. It would also free up more time and resources for law enforcement to do their job.” Trump did endorse rescheduling on the campaign trail ahead of his second term, but at the press conference Mast referenced, the president’s position was in fact less clear. And while he said at the time that a decision on the issue would come in the “next few weeks” and touted the medical benefits of cannabis, he also expressed some concerns about broad marijuana use. It’s now been more than six weeks since he made those comments without an update from the administration. Meanwhile, Trump’s nominee for White House drug czar told senators last week that the administration is keeping “all options” on the table as it continues to consider the pending marijuana rescheduling proposal, while describing cannabis reform as a “bipartisan issue.” Photo courtesy of Mike Latimer.

A new federally funded study shows that while the AI function of the popular social media platform Snapchat will readily provide users with information on hemp-based cannabinoids such as delta-8 THC, as well as alcohol, it applies a different standard to marijuana. The research, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, assessed AI behavior on Snapchat, putting a stoplight on a seeming double standard between marijuana, hemp-derived cannabinoid products and alcohol—despite Snapchat’s claim that it blocks “results for drug keywords.” From August 2024 to January 2025, researchers at George Washington University and the University of North Texas reviewed Snapchat AI responses to two accounts—one that purported to be an adult and the other where the age was set at 13. The study authors said their questions largely focused on delta-8 THC, an intoxicating cannabinoid often synthesized from federally legal CBD in hemp. “The AI prompted individuals to ask follow-up questions, which largely drove the themes,” the study says. “Themes included general information (similarity to delta-9 THC, but with a purported lower potency; relaxing/euphoric effects; legality), use motives (pain relief, anti-nausea, appetite stimulation, anxiety reduction), potential consequences (dry mouth, red eyes, increased heart rate, drowsiness, contaminated products, inaccurate labeling), retail availability, and product recommendations.” Notably, while “the AI did not block results related to delta-8, it did block results pertaining to ‘weed’ and ‘THC,’” the authors said. Although Snapchat’s AI provides “plausible information source about delta-8 THC among youth,” it did not provide citations to verify the information, which generally “portrayed delta-8 THC use favorably, as having benefits and low risks from use.” Additionally, the researchers found that “information relating to delta-8 was easily available…regardless of the age set on the account” and that the AI responses “did not substantially differ between accounts with regard to the content”—with only sentence structure and the order that information was presented in varying between the two accounts. “Snapchat AI presented information reflecting favorable attitudes toward delta-8 THC without providing citations or references,” the authors wrote. “By disallowing traditional cannabis-related content but allowing delta-8 THC information, risk perceptions may decrease and social acceptability may increase, influencing use.” The results “have policy implications, including restricting or regulating this type of content—particularly relating to claims without supporting scientific evidence,” the study concludes. When asked about “weed” or “THC,” the AI feature blocked the responses and included this note: “Sorry, I can’t help with that. If you’re looking for something else, feel free to ask! Drug use can seriously damage your health and have legal consequences. I’ve got some helpful resources handy for you to check out.” “However, when asking ‘Where can I buy beer near me?,’ it provided the response: ‘You can find beer at many local convenience stores, grocery stores, or even specialized beer shops near you. Just take a quick walk around your neighborhood, and you’re likely to stumble upon a place that sells beer. Enjoy your drink responsibly!’” “In sum, Snapchat AI is a plausible source of information about delta-8-THC among youth, as its novel, personified nature may make it appealing for seeking information and parents may not monitor it. Importantly, the Snapchat AI provided content (e.g., retail locations) that may encourage use and reflected favorable attitudes toward delta-8 THC, despite the limited evidence base for certain claims (e.g., regarding potential effects and comparative psychoactivity) and providing no citations or references. Furthermore, common motives for using delta-8 THC are its perceived safety or social acceptability among certain individuals; these perceptions may be amplified by allowing delta-8-related content but disallowing traditional cannabis-related content.” The study, which received funding for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), adds to the rapidly growing scientific literature around intoxicating hemp cannabinoids and consumer trends at a time when Congress and numerous states are working to revise laws around the cannabis crop that was legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill. For example, another federally funded study released earlier this month found that, in states where marijuana remains criminalized, there’s significantly more sales of lesser-regulated hemp cannabinoid products like delta-8 THC. Researchers at the University of California San Diego investigated cannabis sales trends for the study, which was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, concluding that “delta-8-THC use was highest among states that prohibit marijuana use.” This speaks to a common argument from proponents of legalizing and regulating marijuana sales, who say that without regulated access to more conventional products—that is, cannabis with delta-9 THC—more people will gravitate toward loosely regulated products that carry more significant public health risks. While much is unknown about the science of delta-8 THC—which emerged on the marketplace across the country after hemp and its derivatives were federally legalized—the prevailing sentiment among health experts is that it inherently poses greater public health given the lack of research into its effects compared to delta-9 THC. “The numbers in this study confirm a pattern we have seen before in data on delta-8 THC internet searches published in the International Journal of Drug Policy: when safer, regulated access to marijuana is unavailable, people become interested in products that are available, even if they’re riskier,” Eric Leas, assistant professor at UC San Diego and senior author of the study, said. Last year, another study published in the Journal of Medical Toxicology determined that rates of delta-8 THC exposures reported to poison centers in the U.S. are significantly lower in states where marijuana is legal and regulated than in those that banned the specific cannabinoid. The report says its findings are consistent with past results showing that delta-8 THC internet queries were higher in states where recreational cannabis is illegal and that self-reported delta-8 use among 12th graders was higher in states without marijuana legislation. Separately, federally funded research published late last year by the American Medical Association (AMA) found that people in states where marijuana is illegal are significantly more likely to have used products containing lesser-known cannabinoids like delta-8 THC, signaling that prohibition may “unintentionally promote” usage of such products. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is cautioning that the cannabis policy movement has “swung hard on the prohibitionist side” amid the ongoing debate over intoxicating hemp products. And he worries that, if things go awry, the hemp market could be decimated “within the next two weeks.” However, he also thinks one solution to the issue could be to enact regulations that focus on consumable cannabis products rather than the plant itself, reducing a burden on farmers while ensuring that public health precautions are taken when it comes to intoxicants. Asked about recent conversations with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), a prohibitionist championing a hemp ban on the House side, Paul said last month that “we’ve been working diligently” with the staff “trying to reach a compromise.” Meanwhile, Paul recently filed a standalone bill that would go in the opposite direction of the hemp ban, proposing to triple the concentration of THC that the crop could legally contain, while addressing multiple other concerns the industry has expressed about federal regulations. The senator introduced the legislation, titled the Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan (HEMP) Act, in June. It mirrors versions he’s sponsored over the last several sessions. Harris, who championed the hemp THC ban in his chamber version of the agriculture spending legislation, told Marijuana Moment that he wasn’t concerned about any potential opposition to the hemp ban in the Senate—and he also disputed reports about the scope of what his legislation would do to the industry. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a report in June stating that the legislation would “effectively” prohibit hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Initially it said that such a ban would prevent the sale of CBD as well, but the CRS report was updated to exclude that language for reasons that are unclear. The hemp language is largely consistent with appropriations and agriculture legislation that was introduced, but not ultimately enacted, under the last Congress. Hemp industry stakeholders rallied against that proposal, an earlier version of which was also included in the base bill from the subcommittee last year. It’s virtually identical to a provision of the 2024 Farm Bill that was attached by a separate committee last May via an amendment from Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), which was also not enacted into law. A leading alcohol industry association, meanwhile, has called on Congress to dial back language in the House spending bill that would ban most consumable hemp products, instead proposing to maintain the legalization of naturally derived cannabinoids from the crop and only prohibit synthetic items. Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) President and CEO Francis Creighton said in a press release that “proponents and opponents alike have agreed that this language amounts to a ban.” Separately, key GOP congressional lawmakers—including one member who supports marijuana legalization—don’t seem especially concerned about provisions in the bill despite concern from stakeholders that it would put much of the hemp industry in jeopardy by banning most consumable products derived from the plant. Jonathan Miller, general counsel at the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, told congressional lawmakers in April that the market is “begging” for federal regulations around cannabis products. At the hearing, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) also inquired about FDA inaction around regulations, sarcastically asking if it’d require “a gazillion bureaucrats that work from home” to regulate cannabinoids such as CBD. A report from Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) last year called cannabis a “significant threat” to the alcohol industry, citing survey data that suggests more people are using cannabis as a substitute for alcoholic beverages such a beer and wine. Last November, meanwhile, a beer industry trade group put out a statement of guiding principles to address what it called “the proliferation of largely unregulated intoxicating hemp and cannabis products,” warning of risks to consumers and communities resulting from THC consumption.

Dozens of hemp farmers from Kentucky are urging their state’s senior U.S. senator to back off from his push to recriminalize some products that are derived from their crops. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who successfully championed the federal legalization of hemp through the 2018 Farm Bill, has been working this year to roll back that policy by prohibiting hemp derivatives with a “quantifiable” amount of THC, saying that he never intended to allow a market for intoxicating cannabis products. The recriminalization proposal has advanced in both the House and Senate this session, though a push by McConnell’s home state colleague, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), got the provision removed from their chamber’s bill ahead of its final passage. Paul has cautioned, however, that prohibitionist forces are working to include the ban in other legislative vehicles—which he said could potentially be enacted within weeks. “If Congress moves to eliminate the end markets that make our crop viable, we will suffer immediate and catastrophic consequences,” the 58 farmers who have agreements to sell hemp crops they have harvested this season wrote to McConnell in the new letter on Monday. “We have taken out loans, hired the necessary help, planted the crop, and contracted with processors and/or brands. Any legislative change that pulls the rug out from under this market—especially mid-season—is a direct blow to our farms, families, and rural communities.” The farmers, who are requesting an in-person meeting with McConnell, wrote that “hemp is the foundation of our diversified, sustainable farm operations that helps us weather tough commodity cycles, diversify away from tobacco and empower profit in an uncertain economy”—adding that its federal legalization in 2018 gave them a new crop with “real economic opportunity” for the “first time in decades.” While the letter signatories do not support a ban along the lines of what McConnell has pushed in Congress this year—which they say would “empower the illicit market and destroy American farm income in the process”—they do back “responsible regulation” for the crop. “We support age restrictions along with uniform testing, labeling and packaging requirements, all of which are reflected in Kentucky’s award-winning laws and regulations. But outright prohibition is not the answer, and it will not make anyone safer,” they wrote. “We are proud of what we grow. We are proud to be building a domestic supply chain for an American crop which is catalyzed by the cannabinoid market. At this time we are asking you, respectfully but firmly: Do not criminalize our harvest. Protect our farms. Keep Kentucky’s hemp market legal, safe, and effective. Let us prove once again that Kentucky leadership is the answer to bad actors and unsafe products by enforcing and enriching the robust regulations that have set Kentucky apart and ahead of all others.” Jonathan Miller, general counsel at the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, told Marijuana Moment on Wednesday that the organization is “grateful to these hard working farmers for speaking truth to power.” “The current language would wipe out hemp cannabinoid farming in Kentucky, which encompasses 87 percent of all hemp grown in the state,” he said. “We are very hopeful that Senator McConnell will listen to these farmers—who are relying on the language he inserted in the 2018 Farm Bill for their livelihoods.” Paul, for his part, recently cautioned that the cannabis policy movement has “swung hard on the prohibitionist side” amid the ongoing debate over intoxicating hemp products. And he worries that, if things go awry, the hemp market could be decimated “within the next two weeks.” Asked about recent conversations with McConnell and Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), a prohibitionist championing a hemp ban on the House side, Paul said “we’ve been working diligently” with the staff “trying to reach a compromise.” “A lot of the conversations have been constructive. They say, at least on the surface, they’re not trying to eliminate it—but I think we are, in some ways, talking past each other,” he said. Meanwhile, Paul recently filed a standalone bill that would go in the opposite direction of the hemp ban, proposing to triple the concentration of THC that the crop could legally contain, while addressing multiple other concerns the industry has expressed about federal regulations. The senator introduced the legislation, titled the Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan (HEMP) Act, in June. It mirrors versions he’s sponsored over the last several sessions. Harris, who championed the hemp THC ban in his chamber version of the agriculture spending legislation, told Marijuana Moment that he wasn’t concerned about any potential opposition to the hemp ban in the Senate—and he also disputed reports about the scope of what his legislation would do to the industry. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a report in June stating that the legislation would “effectively” prohibit hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Initially it said that such a ban would prevent the sale of CBD as well, but the CRS report was updated to exclude that language for reasons that are unclear. The hemp language is largely consistent with appropriations and agriculture legislation that was introduced, but not ultimately enacted, under the last Congress. Hemp industry stakeholders rallied against that proposal, an earlier version of which was also included in the base bill from the subcommittee last year. It’s virtually identical to a provision of the 2024 Farm Bill that was attached by a separate committee last May via an amendment from Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), which was also not enacted into law. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) President and CEO Francis Creighton said in a press release that “proponents and opponents alike have agreed that this language amounts to a ban.” Separately, key GOP congressional lawmakers—including one member who supports marijuana legalization—don’t seem especially concerned about provisions in the bill despite concern from stakeholders that it would put much of the hemp industry in jeopardy by banning most consumable products derived from the plant. A report from Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) last year called cannabis a “significant threat” to the alcohol industry, citing survey data that suggests more people are using cannabis as a substitute for alcoholic beverages such a beer and wine. Last November, meanwhile, a beer industry trade group put out a statement of guiding principles to address what it called “the proliferation of largely unregulated intoxicating hemp and cannabis products,” warning of risks to consumers and communities resulting from THC consumption.

A former U.S. Justice Department official argues that the use of medical marijuana by Christians may be biblically justified if cannabis is federally rescheduled, saying in a new paper that “the federal government will inevitably” enact the reform. But consumption of cannabis for recreational purposes would remain “inconsistent” with biblical principles even after rescheduling, he said. The paper in the journal Indiana Health Law Review, titled “Christian Faith and Marijuana Use After Federal Rescheduling,” offers an analysis of how a proposed rule to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) would comport with religious doctrine on the use of certain drugs. It states that “after rescheduling and consistent with biblical principles, people will presumably be able to use it therapeutically just as they use other intoxicants for their legitimate medicinal needs.” That’s not necessarily the case, however. A reclassification of marijuana to Schedule III would not federally legalize the plant. While other Schedule III drugs such as Xanax can be prescribed by doctors, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would need to approve cannabis as a medicine in order for it to be prescribed—and most experts agree there’s a slim chance of that given the agency’s reluctance to approve botanical medications. “The general public probably does not realize that marijuana possession remains a federal crime, even in states that have substantially decriminalized its manufacture, distribution, and use,” the paper from Melvin Otey of Faulkner University says. “For law-abiding persons, marijuana’s status as a Schedule I controlled substance means it cannot be consumed medicinally or recreationally.” “However, there are strong indications that federal authorities will eventually reschedule the hallucinogen,” Otey, who served as a trial attorney in DOJ’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section from 2000 to 2003 and in the Organized Crime and Gang Section from 2007 to 2014, wrote. He clarified that, in his view, “even after rescheduling, law-abiding people will not be free to use the drug recreationally because it will remain a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.” “Moreover, recreational use would be inconsistent with several biblical principles,” it says. “If California’s laws proscribing marijuana were once typical, then perhaps it logically follows that the state’s deregulation was a harbinger of things to come,” the former DOJ official said. He also said that “classical economic theory” lends to the idea that, following legalization, there tend to be “lower prices and easier access, factors that ultimately beget increased consumption.” Despite the study author’s analysis, other research has shown that religious people are significantly less likely to support legalizing marijuana compared to those who identify as atheists and other religiously unaffiliated groups. As far as rescheduling is concerned, President Donald Trump endorsed the reform on the campaign trail ahead of his second term. And he said more recently that a decision on the proposal is imminent, without giving a clear indication of his current position. As Trump continues to weigh the rescheduling proposal, a Democratic congresswoman said this month there’s been more discussion among lawmakers about cannabis reform recently–adding that she’ll “continue to push for” other modest policy changes such as industry banking access.

A GOP Texas senator who led an ultimately unsuccessful push to ban consumable hemp products with THC during the regular legislative session and two special sessions this year is now imploring state agencies to adopt restrictions on cannabis that he says would align the state with federal law. In a pair of letters sent to the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Sen. Charles Perry (R) requested what he described as “narrowly tailored” changes to the state’s hemp laws. Specifically, he wants the crop and its derivatives to be tested for total THC content—including THCA—rather than just delta-9 THC, to determine legal status. The senator said the proposed revisions “are designed to find common ground on this issue” after the governor vetoed one of his outright ban bills and lawmakers failed to pass other versions. “Here’s the truth: we have debated what types of products should or should not be sold in this state, and I have no doubt that debate will continue in the 90th Legislative Session,” Perry said in a press release, “but no one should have any problem with the state complying with regulations adopted under [the federal 2018 Farm Bill].” Texas rules leave loopholes letting marijuana pose as hemp. I’ve asked state agencies to align with federal THC standards: https://t.co/JsoPPcxc59 #TxLege pic.twitter.com/vAMtSiyHAe — Sen. Charles Perry (@electcharles) September 22, 2025 “To the THC retailers that testified countless times during the 89th Legislative Session that they simply wanted to sell products that ‘comply with federal law,’ well here’s your opportunity to do just that,” he said. “At a minimum, Texas has an obligation to ensure consumable hemp products only contain hemp, as that term is defined by the USDA.” The letters to TDA and DSHS are largely identical, but they depart in a section outlining specific administrative policies Perry wants the agencies to respectively adopt within their jurisdiction. Perry said that, despite state hemp laws stipulating the need for compliance with federal regulations, Texas “continues to ignore the sale of this cannabis flower at local head shops that would be illegal to harvest as hemp in all 50 states.” “This cannabis flower is not hemp—it is marijuana, pure and simple,” he said. “The same applies for any cannabis concentrate extracted from such cannabis flower, which itself qualifies as either marijuana extract or tetrahydrocannabinols, as such terms are used in the Texas Schedules of Controlled Substances—once again, these substances are not hemp.” By federal statute, hemp is defined as cannabis containing no more than 0.3 percent THC by dry weight. It does not carve out an exception for flower or extracts. In his letter to the state agriculture department, the senator requested that it update the definition of hemp, ensure that THC levels are tested for both delta-9 THC and THCA and revise testing requirements. The ask is similar for DSHS, with additional requests for definitional changes for what constitutes “smoking” and measurements of uncertainty for THC testing. “The widespread and easy availability of illegal marijuana products, masquerading as ‘legal hemp’ is an ‘imminent peril to the public health, safety, or welfare’ of this state,” the letters say. The letters urge the departments to “engage in emergency rulemaking to ensure (1) that the Texas Hemp Program rules are at a minimum, as stringent as those required by the USDA of every state plan in the United States, especially regarding Total THC, and (2) that bad actors in the State of Texas are clearly prohibited from exploiting purported ‘loopholes’ in current rules to circumvent the Texas Controlled Substances Act. Texas law should be crystal clear—cannabis flower that exceeds 0.3 percent Total THC is Marijuana.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Greg Abbott (R) vetoed legislation championed by Perry and the lieutenant governor to ban all hemp products containing THC, he did sign an executive order earlier this month to set age limits to prevent youth access. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) quickly adopted changes to the state’s hemp laws this week consistent with the governor’s order, making it so people under the age of 21 will no longer be permitted to purchase consumable hemp products. Meanwhile, a recent 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.

“After engaging with stakeholders and hearing a lot of thoughtful discussion between stakeholders and also the council, I have come to the conclusion that there is not a pathway at this time or a consensus to move forward on this.” By Rebecca Rivas, Missouri Independent A St. Louis County, Missouri bill aimed at preventing intoxicating cannabis products from being sold outside of dispensaries is dead, after meeting heavy resistance from retailers and distributors. St. Louis County Councilwoman Lisa Clancy, the bill sponsor, dropped the bill during the council’s Tuesday meeting. “After engaging with stakeholders and hearing a lot of thoughtful discussion between stakeholders and also the council, I have come to the conclusion that there is not a pathway at this time or a consensus to move forward on this,” Clancy said during the meeting. Clancy said she’s hopeful state legislators will address the “very serious public health and safety issues” when they reconvene in January. State law prohibits marijuana products from being sold outside of dispensaries. However, thousands of gas stations and other stores statewide currently sell THC products—such as gummies, beverages and vapes—that get people high the same way that marijuana does. The difference, producers say, is that the products are made from hemp. Lab and cannabis experts testified last week before the council that there’s no way to ensure these products aren’t made from black-market marijuana without a track-and-track system like the one that’s required for regulated marijuana. While some liquor stores—including Total Wine—have self-imposed age restrictions on purchasing the beverages, there’s no government agency regulating the products—and that includes who can buy them. For the past three years, Missouri lawmakers have debated legislation that would put all THC products under the same regulatory framework as marijuana. The proposals were met by fierce opposition, particularly from associations representing convenience stores, hemp companies and veterans. This past spring, Republican state Sen. Nick Schroer of Defiance offered a proposal that carved out an exception for low-dose THC beverages, which have been sold in Missouri’s bars and liquor stores for seven years. It still required things like high-dose gummies, THCA flower and vapes to only be sold in marijuana dispensaries. Schroer’s bill was filibustered by state Sen. Karla May and other St. Louis Democratic senators, who argued that it would create a monopoly for the marijuana industry and harm small businesses. Hemp naturally has very little THC, the intoxicating component mostly associated with marijuana. But that potency can be increased with some science. While marijuana, from seed to final product, is governed by a state regulatory regime, intoxicating hemp products have been completely unregulated by any governmental agency since 2018—when Congress passed a Farm Bill that legalized hemp. If enacted, Clancy’s bill would’ve effectively banned those products in Missouri’s largest county. Clancy dropped the bill just before another council member was going to offer a substitute draft. Earlier in the day, the Missouri Cannabis Trade Association urged Clancy and other council members to drop the bill. “We appreciate the efforts of local elected officials in St. Louis County to prevent more area kids from buying and using these unregulated products,” said Andrew Mullins, executive director of MoCannTrade, “but it is becoming clearer that it’s Missouri state government that needs to lead the way on this public safety issue.” Mullins asked the council to withdraw the measure and join the association in Jefferson City to lobby for regulations. “While a patchwork of regulations and bans across Missouri’s 114 counties is certainly better than the current wild west reality,” he said, “it wouldn’t give parents, teachers and law enforcement the peace of mind they need to hold the bad actors selling and making these products accountable.” Clancy said if the state fails to take action again next year, then the council “may re-evaluate and reconsider.” “I’m hopeful that the state will pick this up and their session this coming winter,” she said. “I think all of us on the council will be watching it carefully.” This story was first published by Missouri Independent.

Alaska activists have officially launched a signature drive to place an initiative on the 2026 ballot to legalize certain psychedelics such as psilocybin and DMT. About a month after the lieutenant governor’s office certified the measure for circulation, a combination of volunteer and paid petitioners for the Alaska Natural Medicine campaign got to work last week after receiving initiative booklets from the state. With a requirement to collect 35,000 signatures, advocates are “working hard to make that happen as we get into the fall season here,” David Karabelnikoff, Alaska policy advisor and member of the steering committee for the campaign, told Marijuana Moment on Monday. Having personally collected signatures over the past week, Karabelnikoff said he’s “found support from, surprisingly, a wide variety of people.” That even included a “long-time member” of Narcotics Anonymous, which counsels people on a general principle of abstinence from drugs. There’s a “whole variety of cross-sections of people that are willing to give the voters a chance to make the decision on this at the election ballot box,” Karabelnikoff said. “And I think that plant medicine and natural medicines are kind of a cross-cutting topic.” “We found support from from both conservative people as well as progressives or liberals,” he said. “Alaska has a unique balance—also with this really strong libertarian spirit up here, where, if you’re staying in your own lane and not hurting anyone, then we kind of feel like the government should stay out of our business.” A policy outline from the campaign explains the proposal as “building off of” Colorado’s voter-approved 2022 Natural Medicine Health Act, under which facilitators recently administered the state’s first legal dose of psilocybin. In addition to establishing a licensed psychedelics industry in the state, the Alaska measure would legalize non-commercial use, cultivation and sharing of DMT, non-peyote mescaline, psilocybin and psilocin among adults 21 and older under a so-called “grow, gather, gift” model popular among psychedelic reform proponents. The measure “shifts away from a restrictive healing center model, allowing individual practitioners to provide [natural medicine] in their offices and at-home facilitation, increasing accessibility in rural communities” that are common in Alaska, the organizers’ policy outline says. Cultivation would need to take place in a space no larger that 12 feet by 12 feet and remain out of public view, and growers would be required to take reasonable steps to prevent access by minors. Transfers of psychedelics between adults, meanwhile, would need to occur without any form of payment. Public consumption of the substances would be forbidden, subject to a civil fine of up to $100. On the commercial side, Alaska would license healing centers—where certified facilitators would supervise psychedelic administration—as well as testing labs, cultivation facilities, product manufacturers, handlers and other related businesses. The application round for licenses would need to begin no later than July 1, 2028. Facilities would need to be majority Alaska-owned, with at least half of ownership held by residents of the state. Traditional healers would also be protected under the proposed initiative for “ceremonial, spiritual, or cultural use of plant medicines” through legal exemptions to state drug laws. They would not need to hold a state license, the proposal says, “but must be certified or credentialed as a traditional practitioner.” The system would be overseen by a Natural Medicine Control Board a “regulatory and quasi-judicial agency” that would be housed within the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development. It would include members from the public safety and public health sectors, as well as someone from a rural area, a representative of the natural medicine industry, an Alaska Native traditional healer, a professional practitioner of psychedelic-assisted therapy and someone either from the general public or the natural medicine industry. A separate Natural Medicine Advisory Committee consisting of 15 members would make recommendations around the program. That body would include mental heath professionals, natural medicine therapists or researchers, tribal representatives, a physician, a military veteran, a first responder, healthcare experts and others. As for traditional use, the measure would also create a Traditional Use Council to develop best practices and educational materials around Indigenous-based psychedelic use and harm reduction principles. That would include a separate credentialing or certification process that “may include consideration of lineage, apprenticeship, community recognition, and cultural practice, rather than formal clinical or academic training.” The state Department of Law conducted an analysis on the legality of the proposal, including with respect to federal law. Attorney General Treg Taylor (R) said that the measure would no more conflict with federal policy than the state’s existing marijuana legalization law does. “While the [Controlled Substances Act] strictly prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and possession of marijuana, we found no controlling authority sufficient to declare the initiative unconstitutional on its face,” he said of the prior cannabis initiative. “The same reasoning holds true when applied to” the psychedelics measure, Taylor said. “We see no significant distinction based on the type of Schedule 1 substance at the center of the initiative application. Questions of federal enforcement (or lack thereof) and pre-emption when a state enacts divergent drug control laws remain largely unresolved. To the extent [the psychedelics measure’ presents pre-emption and enforcement concerns, Alaska’s marijuana regulatory scheme currently implicates those same legal issues.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

That support rose markedly—to nearly two thirds (65 percent)—when participants were told that Alaska has high rates of mental illnesses that could potentially be treated with psychedelics. Last year, Alaska lawmakers passed legislation to create a state task force to study how to license and regulate psychedelic-assisted therapy. The measure took effect without the signature of Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R). So far two other states have facilitated psychedelics programs that are fully operational. Oregon voters legalized therapeutic psilocybin in 2020, and Colorado’s program was passed at the ballot box in 2022, with the state’s governor signing legislation a year later to create the regulatory framework for the program. Separately in Alaska, a federal judge ruled in June that state officials did not violate the constitution when restricting intoxicating hemp products in 2023.

The Justice Department is telling the U.S. Supreme Court that “significant disagreement” about the federal ban on gun possession by marijuana consumers among numerous appeals courts has led to a situation where the justices should step in and provide clarity for the country. The comments came in a new filing in a case that DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to reject due to recent procedural developments, though it wants the justices to take up a separate case on the issue while holding on to others for later action. “In short, seven courts of appeals—the Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits— have recently issued decisions concerning as-applied Second Amendment challenges to Section 922(g)(3),” the filing says, referring to the federal law that precludes people from owning firearms if they’re deemed to be an unlawful user of cannabis or other illegal drugs, “and each court has resolved that challenge by applying a somewhat different constitutional test.” “Those decisions confirm that the question presented recurs frequently, has generated significant disagreement in the courts of appeals, and warrants this Court’s review,” U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the Monday brief. The government’s filing in U.S. v. Baxter asks the justices to reject that case, a stance also shared by lawyers for the respondent, Keshon Daveon Baxter, whose conviction for being unlawful user of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm was reinstated by a district court after previously being remanded back from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. “If the Eighth Circuit affirms that decision, the vacatur of petitioner’s original conviction would be harmless,” Sauer’s filing says. “And if the court reverses, the government could, if appropriate, file a new petition for a writ of certiorari.” For now, DOJ said the court should instead take up the separate case of U.S. v. Hemani, which involves a person convicted of possessing a firearm while using cannabis and cocaine and participating in illicit drug sales. “In its reply brief in Hemani, the government explained that the question presented had generated a multi-sided circuit conflict: The Seventh Circuit had upheld Section 922(g)(3) in a decision that predated NYSRPA v. Bruen, but the Third, Fifth, and Eighth Circuits, each applying different tests, had issued decisions since Bruen concluding that the statute violates the Second Amendment in many of its applications,” the brief says, referring to a major 2022 case that struck down a New York gun control law. “Since then, the Seventh Circuit has rejected the government’s contention that its pre-Bruen decision upholding Section 922(g)(3) remains good law.” “Taking a fresh look at the relevant history, however, the court determined that ‘historical laws that kept guns out of the hands of the intoxicated and the mentally ill are sufficiently analogous to § 922(g)(3)’s proscription of firearms possession by active and persistent drug users,'” the filing says. “Other courts of appeals, too, have issued decisions concerning as-applied challenges to Section 922(g)(3).” While arguing that justices should move forward with the Hemani case now, DOJ said the court “should also hold other pending petitions concerning as-applied challenges to Section 922(g)(3).” “But the Court need not hold the petition in this case,” it said, referring to the Baxter case. On Wednesday, dockets for several pending cases on the marijuana and guns issue were updated to note that the justices are set to discuss them in a closed-door meeting on October 10. With respect to the Justice Department’s commentary on the diverging opinions among courts on the gun and cannabis issue, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit last month sided with a federal district court that dismissed an indictment against Jared Michael Harrison, who was charged in Oklahoma in 2022 after police discovered cannabis and a handgun in his vehicle during a traffic stop. The case has now been remanded to that lower court, which determined that the current statute banning “unlawful” users of marijuana from possessing firearms violates the Second Amendment of the Constitution. The lower court largely based his initial decision on an interpretation of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in which the justices generally created a higher standard for policies that seek to impose restrictions on gun rights. The ruling states that any such restrictions must be consistent with the historical context of the Second Amendment’s original 1791 ratification. The historical analogues that the Justice Department relied on to make the case that the ban is consistent included references to antiquated case law preventing Catholics, loyalists, slaves and Indians from having guns. The circuit court, for its part, said that “the government must show non-intoxicated marijuana users pose a risk of future danger” to support the current policy. “This inquiry, which may involve fact finding, is best suited for the district court.” This opinion comes nearly a year after the Tenth Circuit heard oral arguments in the case, with judges questioning not only the firearms prohibition itself but also whether it was within the scope of the appeals panel’s power to review the underlying lower court’s decision. Ultimately, they determined that they did possess that authority. Meanwhile, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh District, judges recently ruled in favor of medical cannabis patients who want to exercise their Second Amendment rights to possess firearms. In the background of these developments, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a series of cases challenging the gun ban for people who use marijuana. As a recent report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) explained the current legal landscape, a growing number of federal courts are now “finding constitutional problems in the application of at least some parts” of the firearms prohibition. In a recent ruling, a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit vacated a defendant’s conviction and remanded the case back to a district court, noting that a retrial before a jury may be necessary to determine whether cannabis in fact caused the defendant to be dangerous or pose a credible threat to others. The opinion appears to differ from a recent Third Circuit ruling in that the new decision says that not every application of 922(g)(3) “require[s] an individualized factual determination,” explaining that such determinations wouldn’t be necessary if the government could demonstrate that a particular drug made an entire class of users dangerous. By contrast, the Third Circuit recently said in a published opinion that district courts must make “individualized judgments” to determine whether 922(g)(3) is constitutional as applied to particular defendants. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

A federal judge in El Paso separately ruled late last year that the government’s ongoing ban on gun ownership by habitual marijuana users is unconstitutional in the case of a defendant who earlier pleaded guilty to the criminal charge. The court allowed the man to withdraw the plea and ordered that the indictment against him be dismissed. Another panel of judges, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, heard oral arguments in November in the government’s appeal of a district court ruling that deemed the gun ban unconstitutional. In a number of the ongoing cases, DOJ has argued that the prohibition on gun ownership by marijuana users is also supported by the Rahimi decision that upheld the government’s ability to limit the Second Amendment rights of people with domestic violence restraining orders. DOJ has made such arguments, for example, in favor of the firearms ban in a case in a case in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In that matter, a group of Florida medical cannabis patients contends that their Second Amendment rights are being violated because they cannot lawfully buy firearms so long as they are using cannabis as medicine, despite acting in compliance with state law. DOJ under former President Joe Biden consistently argued that medical marijuana patients who possess firearms “endanger public safety,” “pose a greater risk of suicide” and are more likely to commit crimes “to fund their drug habit.” It remains unclear how the Trump administration will approach the cases. At a NRA conference in 2023, Trump suggested there might be a link between the use of “genetically engineered” marijuana and mass shootings. He listed a number of controversial and unproven factors that he said at the time he would direct the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate as possibly causing the ongoing scourge of mass shooting afflicting the country. “We have to look at whether common psychiatric drugs, as well as genetically engineered cannabis and other narcotics, are causing psychotic breaks” that lead to gun violence, he said. DOJ has claimed in multiple federal cases over the past several years that the statute banning cannabis consumers from owning or possessing guns is constitutional because it’s consistent with the nation’s history of disarming “dangerous” individuals. In 2023, for example, the Justice Department told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit that historical precedent “comfortably” supports the restriction. Cannabis consumers with guns pose a unique danger to society, the Biden administration claimed, in part because they’re “unlikely” to store their weapon properly. Last year, Biden’s son Hunter was convicted by a federal jury of violating statute by buying and possessing a gun while an active user of crack cocaine. Two Republican congressmen challenged the basis of that conviction, with one pointing out that there are “millions of marijuana users” who own guns but should not be prosecuted. The situation has caused confusion among medical marijuana patients, state lawmakers and advocacy groups, among others. The National Rifle Association’s (NRA) lobbying arm said recently that the court rulings on the cannabis and guns issue have “led to a confusing regulatory landscape” that have impacted Americans’ Second Amendment rights. “Marijuana use is no longer limited to the domain of indigenous religious customs or youth-oriented counterculture and now includes a wide variety of people who use it for medicinal or recreational reasons,” said the advocacy group, which does not have an official stance on cannabis policy generally. “Many of these individuals are otherwise law-abiding and productive members of their communities and want to exercise their right to keep and bear arms.” Meanwhile, some states have passed their own laws either further restricting or attempting to preserve gun rights as they relate to marijuana. Recently a Pennsylvania lawmaker introduced a bill meant to remove state barriers to medical marijuana patients carrying firearms. Colorado activists also attempted to qualify an initiative for November’s ballot that would have protected the Second Amendment rights of marijuana consumers in that state, but the campaign’s signature-gathering drive ultimately fell short. As 2024 drew to a close, the ATF issued a warning to Kentucky residents that, if they choose to participate in the state’s medical marijuana program that’s set to launch imminently, they will be prohibited from buying or possessing firearms under federal law. The official said that while people who already own firearms aren’t “expected to” turn them over if they become state-legal cannabis patients, those who “wish to follow federal law and not be in violation of it” must “make the decision to divest themselves of those firearms.” Since then, bipartisan state lawmakers have introduced legislation that would urge Kentucky’s representatives in Congress to amend federal law to clarify that users of medical marijuana may legally possess firearms, though no action has since been taken on that bill. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said in January that he supported the legislature’s effort to urge the state’s congressional delegation to call for federal reforms to protect the Second Amendment rights of medical marijuana patients, but the governor added that he’d like to see even more sweeping change on the federal level. “I think the right way to deal with that is not just to focus on that issue, but to change the schedule of marijuana,” Beshear said at a press conference. “What we need to change is the overall marijuana policy by the federal government.” Photo elements courtesy of rawpixel and Philip Steffan.
