One of President Donald Trump’s longtime advisors, Roger Stone, says his administration has an opportunity to move forward with marijuana rescheduling—or, even broader legalization—in a way that Democrats who regularly tout the reform failed to achieve when they controlled the White House and Congress. During a segment of “The Stone Zone” on 77WABC Radio that aired on Monday, Stone responded to Trump’s social media post over the weekend where he shared a video that touted the health benefits of hemp-derived CBD, particular for seniors. “The video posted by President Trump talked about the use of CBD oil to alleviate pain, lower stress and result in better sleep. CBD is the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis,” Stone said. “It does not get you high, and it is a source of most of the medicinal benefits from the cannabis plant.” He added that it’s well-understood that the president has been a “supporter of states’ rights on the question of the legalization of cannabis for medicinal purposes.” “That has always been his position. Go all the way back to the 2016 campaign,” he said. “I myself have been a major advocate for President Trump reclassifying or declassifying cannabis. Right now, cannabis is considered a Schedule I drug, along with heroin, MDMA and LSD.” While Trump didn’t directly comment on the content of the video he shared over the weekend, he has previously endorsed moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). And he said last month that a decision on that reform would be made within weeks. Stone somewhat misstated the impact of that potential policy change, saying it would “make it allowable for medicinal use” and “also solve a number of the banking issues” for state-licensed cannabis businesses. Will President Trump Reclassify or Declassify Marijuana to Expand Its Legal Medicinal Use? The StoneZONE — Tonight, only on 77WABC Radio! Listen LIVE at 8 PM ET: https://t.co/53a3PGhes4 pic.twitter.com/azS86U7Lje — Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) September 29, 2025 Moving marijuana to Schedule III would remove certain research barriers, but it would need to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be accessible as a prescribed medicine, which is unlikely in botanical form. And it would let cannabis businesses take federal tax deductions they’ve been barred from under an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code known as 280E, but since marijuana wouldn’t be federally legalized, banking issues for the industry would likely persist. “This particular move by the president is particularly unpopular with Big Pharma. You see, they would much prefer to sell you pharmaceutical drugs to do far greater damage,” Stone said. “It’s really only a matter of common sense. Alcohol is probably far more damaging to the human system than cannabis, even in the full sense of marijuana, could ever be—yet alcohol sales are legal, they’re regulated and they’re taxed by the states. So why not cannabis [which is] far less damaging than oxycontin for pain?” Stone—a Republican political operative who has served as a senior campaign aide to Trump as well as to Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan during their administrations—noted that he became a “convert” for legalization when his father was dying from cancer and cannabis “alleviated his suffering when his time came.” He’s reiterated the impact of that experience in multiple interviews over the years. “I have no qualms about my sister and I deciding to get him the cannabis that eased the final days of his life,” he said. “I hope President Trump does either reclassify, or even better, declassify cannabis—and does it now.” He also pointed out that, while “Democrats always talk about” marijuana reform, they declined to enact meaningful policy changes during prior sessions when they wielded control of both chambers of Congress and the presidency. He said that was the case under former President Barack Obama, but it was also the case under former President Joe Biden for one session—though Biden did initiate the rescheduling process that is now being considered by Trump. “They did nothing,” Stone said. “I pray that President Trump will make a very different decision.” The GOP operative also made the case for cannabis reform in an op-ed for Marijuana Moment earlier this month. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Whether Trump ultimately decides to move forward with rescheduling remains to be seen. Despite his endorsement of the policy change on the campaign trail ahead of his election for a second term, he declined to restate that support when asked about it during a briefing late last month—though he did say a decision would come within weeks.

German officials have released a report on the impact of the nation’s marijuana legalization law, finding that fears from opponents about youth use, traffic safety and more have so far proved largely unfounded. However, the illicit market has not meaningfully diminished under the limited legal regulatory model that has been rolled out in the country to date. The interim report, which was required under the cannabis law enacted last year, assessed a series of health, public safety and economic factors associated with the end of prohibition. Among the most notable findings in the document published on Monday is the fact that youth marijuana use has continued to decline, even after possession and home cultivation were legalized for adults and social clubs offering access to members opened. Further, “no clear changes in the previous trend in cannabis consumption among adults could be observed,” the report, conducted on behalf of the federal Ministry of Health, says, according to a translation. “The percentage increase in adults who have consumed cannabis in the last 12 months, which has been observed since approximately 2011, is likely to continue…without any drastic changes,” it says. A separate recent study conducted by German federal health officials also found that rates of marijuana use declined among youth after the country legalized adult-use cannabis, contradicting one of the more common prohibitionist arguments against the reform. Another finding of the new legalization evaluation concerns traffic safety, with researchers determining that there’s been no meaningful change in incidents on the roadways associated with the policy change. “In the area of road safety, partial legalization has so far shown no significant changes in self-reported driving under the influence of cannabis or in the number of people killed or injured in road traffic,” the report states. Early data on the impact of legalization on the illicit market indicates that the law has “not yet made a significant contribution to the displacement of the black market intended by the legislature,” the report found. One reason for the continued presence of the illegal market could be related to how Germany’s legalization law is being rolled out, with a limited number of social clubs that grow cannabis for members to consume—but without a comprehensive commercial industry that could provide wider access to adults. And even if broad retail launches, it may take time to substantially transition consumers to the legal market, which has been the case in Canada and U.S. states that have enacted the reform. For now, if Germany intends to substantially shift people to the legal market, “the framework for the approval and operation of cultivation associations must be simplified,” the report says. It also advises that, based on current information, there’s not a need to change the possession limit of 25 grams. “The first interim report published today confirms that the legalization of cannabis was the right and long overdue step,” MP Carmen Wegge of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) said. “The independent evaluation shows no significant increase in cannabis consumption among adults and even a decrease among minors, no noticeable negative effects on the health of adults, and significantly fewer criminal proceedings,” she said. “But the core message is clear: Partial legalization protects health and improves the ability of the constitutional state to act.” But Federal Health Minister Nina Warken, a member of the anti-legalization Christian Democratic Union, said the results so far show “worrying trends, despite the lack of further data in some areas.” “We will have to discuss possible need for action together with the coalition parties and the security authorities,” she said. Germany’s former health minister Karl Lauterbach, who spearheaded the government’s legalization plan, responded to the report, saying “cannabis consumption among young people continues to decline despite legalization.” Der Cannabiskonsum bei Jugendlichen geht trotz Legalisierung offenbar weiter zurück. Das war zu erwarten, auch andere Länder zeigen das. Wenn man den Schwarzmarkt bekämpfen will darf man Anbauclubs nicht weiter behindern. Cannabiskonsum ist kein Verbrechen https://t.co/fMPUUz2ypv — Prof. Karl Lauterbach (@Karl_Lauterbach) September 29, 2025 “That was to be expected; other countries are showing the same trend,” he said. “If one wants to combat the black market, cultivation clubs must not be further obstructed. Cannabis consumption is not a crime.” Former MP Kristine Lütke, who was one of the most vocal champions of legalization, said the report shows “there is no urgent need for action.” “Particularly encouraging: children and adolescents are not consuming cannabis more frequently than before partial legalization. The trend is rather declining,” she said. A final report on the impact of legalization in Germany is expected in April 2028. Germany’s legalization law took effect in April 2024, allowing adults to possess and grow certain amounts of cannabis and social clubs began to open, providing members with legal access to marijuana products. Following a pivotal national election earlier this year, political parties that were cooperating to form a new coalition government announced that they would be conducting an “open-ended evaluation” of the country’s marijuana legalization law—meaning that at least for now, officials will allow the policy to stay in place. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

At the local level, the city of Frankfurt late last year announced plans to move forward with a five-year pilot program that would make cannabis products available to adults more broadly , with the city of Hanford also pursuing a similar plan. A number of other localities have also expressed interest in conducting cannabis sales pilot projects. Despite widespread concern that results of February’s election could spell doom for the legalization law, most Germans— 59 percent of eligible voters —support allowing adults to purchase cannabis from licensed stores. For the previous three years Germans were polled on the issue, support sat at just under 50 percent. But as the country’s marijuana law began being implemented last year, there was a spike in favor of the policy change. Notably, respondents who identified as CDU or CSU—two of the three coalition parties behind the new agreement—were the only political affiliations among which majorities of voters supported rolling back the reform law. German officials last year convened an international conference where leaders were invited to share their experiences with legalizing and regulating marijuana , with a focus on public health and mitigating the illicit market. Representatives from Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Switzerland were invited by German Commissioner for Addiction and Drug Issues Burkhard Blienert to the meeting in Berlin. The countries that participated in the ministerial have varying cannabis policies. Malta, for example, became the first European country to enact cannabis legalization in 2021. Luxembourg followed suit, with the reform officially taking effect in 2023 . Government officials from several countries, including the U.S., also met in Germany in 2023 to discuss international marijuana policy issues as the host nation worked to enact legalization. A group of German lawmakers, as well as Blienert, separately visited the US and toured California cannabis businesses in 2022 to inform their country’s approach to legalization. The visit came after top officials from Germany, Luxembourg, Malta and the Netherlands held their first-of-its-kind meeting to discuss plans and challenges associated with recreational marijuana legalization in 2022.

Marijuana Moment: Major Alcohol Industry Trade Association Welcomes Its First THC Cannabis Beverage Member
Tokeativity posted a topic in Marijuana Moment
A leading alcohol industry group has added a company that makes THC-infused drinks to its membership roster for the first time. Cannabuzz, a Kentucky-based manufacturer of hemp-derived THC beverages, is now an associate member of Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA), the company announced in a press release last week. “We’re proud to be the first THC brand to join WSWA’s THC beverage category,” Annie Rouse, Cannabuzz CEO & Founder, said in a press release. “We look forward to collaborating with the organization and providing our industry expertise to help grow a safe and accessible market.” Being a part of WSWA will give Cannabuzz “access to distributor expertise, best-practice frameworks and policy engagement as the cannabis category matures,” the company said. “Our goal isn’t just to sell drinks—it’s to help retailers, distributors, and regulators align on simple guardrails that protect consumers and give stores confidence to stock the category,” Rouse said. “We believe standardized labeling, potency appropriate serving sizes and clear age-gating will define the next chapter of adult cannabis beverages. We’re excited to join beverage-alcohol’s leading trade group to help build these responsible standards for hemp-derived THC [ready-to-drink beverages].” WSWA staff did not respond to Marijuana Moment’s request for comment for this story, though the organization’s website confirms Cannabuzz is now an associate member of the organization. The association in June called on Congress to dial back language in a 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. Members of WSWA also met with lawmakers and staffers in April to advocate for three key policy priorities that the group says is based on “sound principles of alcohol distribution.” They include banning synthetic THC, setting up a federal system for testing and labeling products and establishing state-level power to regulate retail sales. In an op-ed for Marijuana Moment in June, WSWA President and CEO Francis Creighton said echoed that point, reiterating the organization’s position that regulation is superior to prohibition. This is also consistent with WSWA’s earlier message to House and Senate Agriculture Committee last session, where the association implored congressional leaders to create a regulatory framework for hemp-based intoxicating cannabinoids—rather than impose an outright ban. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

To that end, the members say there are plans in the works to introduce an alternative measure to regulate the market. While the Senate ultimately stripped similar language from its version of the agriculture spending measure following a procedural protest from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), there’s still concern among stakeholders that it could wind up in the final package delivered to the president following bicameral negotiations. Dozens of hemp farmers from Kentucky also recently urged their state’s senior U.S. senator, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), to back off from his push to recriminalize some products that are derived from their crops. 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-KY), Paul said “we’ve been working diligently” with the staff “trying to reach a compromise.” The post Major Alcohol Industry Trade Association Welcomes Its First THC Cannabis Beverage Member appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

Marijuana Moment: Wisconsin’s GOP Senate President Files New Medical Marijuana Legalization Bill
Tokeativity posted a topic in Marijuana Moment
Wisconsin’s Senate president announced on Monday that she and two other bicameral Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to legalize medical marijuana in the state. Senate President Mary Felzkowski (R), who’s previously sponsored a medical cannabis bill, said in a press release that she’s filed the new measure alongside Sen. Patrick Testin (R), with an Assembly companion version from Assemblymember Patrick Snyder (R). The text of the proposal hasn’t been posted yet, but Felzkowski’s prior bill would have allowed doctors to issue medical cannabis recommendations to patients with one of eight conditions, including cancer, seizure disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and multiple sclerosis. The legislation was fairly restrictive, as it prohibited smokable marijuana products and wouldn’t have allowed patients to grow cannabis for personal use. Patients could have only obtained cannabis preparations in the form of oils, pills, tinctures or topicals. It’s not clear if the Senate president and her colleagues have expanded the scope of the reform for the new yet-to-be-released bill. “Someone who suffers from a serious health condition should not have to make the choice to travel to another state or break the law so they can try an alternative medicine for relief,” Felzkowski, a cancer survivor, said in a press release. “This legislation is about giving our friends, family members, and neighbors suffering from a chronic illness the freedom to explore another option with their doctor,” she said. “This is also a chance for small businesses in our state to take part in this market with reasonable regulations on making and selling these products, all while still protecting public safety.” As the 2025 session was set to get underway, the Senate leader said she was “hoping to have a conversation” in the legislature about legalizing medical marijuana this year—though the Republican Assembly speaker still represented “an obstacle,” she added. Meanwhile, a Republican candidate for governor of Wisconsin said in July that he was “open to considering different opportunities” when it comes to legalizing medical or adult-use marijuana in the state, though he has provided little in the way of specifics so far. On the Democratic side, current Gov. Tony Evers (D), who supports legalizing cannabis, will not be seeking re-election. But he said in June that if his party can take control of the legislature, the state can “finally” legalize marijuana so that residents don’t have to go to neighboring Illinois to visit its adult-use market. Separately in June, a poll from Marquette Law School found that two in three Wisconsin voters support legalizing marijuana. The survey found that support for cannabis reform has generally increased over time since the institution first started tracking public opinion on legalization in 2013, with 67 percent of voters now backing the policy change. That’s 17 percentage points higher than the 2013 results. Democrats are the most likely to favor legalizing cannabis, at 88 percent, followed by independents (79 percent). However, a majority of Republicans (56 percent) said they’re still opposed to adult-use legalization. Underscoring the importance of party control, the state’s Republican-controlled Senate and Assembly this summer rejected another attempt to legalize marijuana, defeating amendments to budget legislation that would have ended prohibition in the state and established new medical and recreational cannabis programs. Evers has routinely attempted to change that policy as part of his budget requests—and Democratic leaders have similarly pushed for reform. Republicans in the legislature also cut the marijuana provisions from a state budget proposal in May, as they’ve done in past sessions. Despite Republicans’ move to cut legalization from the budget legislation, party leaders recently acknowledged that the debate over medical marijuana legalization is “not going to go away,” and there’s hope it can be resolved this session. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year. Patreon supporters pledging at least $25/month get access to our interactive maps, charts and hearing calendar so they don’t miss any developments.

Tyler August (R) said in February. “I’m hopeful that we can.” “If we’re going to call it medical marijuana, it needs to be treated like a pharmaceutical. But the marijuana debate is going to be something that is not going to go away,” Sen. Dan Feyen (R), the assistant majority leader, said at the time. “The margins are tighter.” There have been repeated attempts to legalize medical marijuana in the legislature over recent years, including the introduction of legislation from Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) that called for a limited program facilitated through state-run dispensaries. That proved controversial among his Republican colleagues, however, and it ultimately stalled out last year. Evers previewed his plan to include marijuana legalization in his budget in January, while also arguing that residents of the state should be allowed to propose new laws by putting binding questions on the ballot—citing the fact that issues such as cannabis reform enjoy sizable bipartisan support while the GOP-controlled legislature has repeatedly refused to act. Previously, in 2022, the governor signed an executive order to convene a special legislative session with the specific goal of giving people the right to put citizen initiatives on the ballot, raising hopes among advocates that cannabis legalization could eventually be decided by voters. The GOP legislature did not adopt the proposal, however. Evers said in December that marijuana reform is one of several key priorities the state should pursue in the 2025 session, as lawmakers work with a budget surplus. Days after he made the remarks, a survey found the reform would be welcomed by voters in rural parts of the state. Nearly two thirds (65 percent) said they support legalizing cannabis. Last May, the governor said he was “hopeful” that the November 2024 election would lead to Democratic control of the legislature, in part because he argued it would position the state to finally legalize cannabis. “We’ve been working hard over the last five years, several budgets, to make that happen,” he said at the time. “I know we’re surrounded by states with recreational marijuana, and we’re going to continue to do it.” A Wisconsin Democratic Assemblymember tried to force a vote on a medical cannabis compromise proposal last year, as an amendment to an unrelated kratom bill, but he told Marijuana Moment he suspects leadership intentionally pulled that legislation from the agenda at the last minute to avoid a showdown on the issue. Meanwhile, the state Department of Revenue released a fiscal estimate of the economic impact of a legalization bill from then-Sen. Melissa Agard (D) in 2023, projecting that the reform would generate nearly $170 million annually in tax revenue. A legislative analysis requested by lawmakers estimated that Wisconsin residents spent more than $121 million on cannabis in Illinois alone in 2022, contributing $36 million in tax revenue to the neighboring state. Evers and other Democrats have since at least last January insisted that they would be willing to enact a modest medical marijuana program, even if they’d prefer more comprehensive reform.

“Well, adding a new cannabis tax into the mix now is going to tip that balance… It’s going to drive people out of the legal market.” By Jordyn Hermani, Bridge Michigan This story was originally published by Bridge Michigan, a nonprofit and nonpartisan news organization. To get regular coverage from Bridge Michigan, sign up for a free Bridge Michigan newsletter here. Michigan’s top cannabis trade association is evaluating whether to sue the state over a new marijuana tax plan that is part of a larger road and budget deal state lawmakers could finalize Tuesday. State House lawmakers last week voted 78-21 to impose a 24 percent tax on the wholesale price of marijuana sold or transferred to a retail shop, beginning January 2026. The proposal, part of a broader agreement to avoid a state government shutdown, could generate an estimated $420 million a year for road and bridge repairs, according to the nonpartisan House Fiscal Agency. But the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association is questioning whether the vote amounts to an illegal amendment to the recreational marijuana law voters approved in 2018. Under the Michigan Constitution, citizen initiatives can only be changed through three-fourths majority votes in the Legislature. The House fell five votes short of that 83-vote threshold last week. The cannabis association is consulting with attorneys, and if they feel strongly the new tax would amend the 2018 initiative, a lawsuit “would be our next step,” said Executive Director Robin Schneider. “Certainly, we don’t want to have to get there.” House Republicans maintain they’re on solid footing after consulting internally with their own legal counsel. Spokespeople for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who previously proposed a larger 32 percent wholesale tax on marijuana, did not respond to requests for comment. “It wouldn’t surprise me to see someone initiating litigation to challenge” the proposed tax, said Steve Liedel, a partner at the Lansing-based Dykema law firm who previously worked as legal counsel to then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D). Nonetheless “there’s precedent for the Legislature recently doing something like this,” said Liedel, pointing to a series of laws Whitmer signed in 2019 that legalized sports betting in Michigan without altering a voter-initiated gaming control law from 1996. The nearly three-decade old initiative initially established casinos and gave “authority” to the Michigan Gaming Control Board to regulate and control in-state casino gaming. Then there’s the issue of “adopt-and-amend,” said Liedel, referring to a recent Michigan Supreme Court ruling which noted a Legislature could adopt and amend a citizen-led petition initiative—so long as those actions do not occur in the same legislative session. Whether lawmakers are simply complying with legal guidance or looking for “a backdoor attempt to get around the requirement” of a three-fourths majority vote is a matter of perspective, Liedel said. “Folks are free to argue anything before the court.” Jamie Lowell, a cannabis activist who helped write the 2018 initiative, blasted last week’s vote as “completely improper and misguided” in a post to Facebook on Monday. The law already includes a 10 percent excise tax on retail marijuana sales, in addition to the state’s 6 percent sales tax. “As one of the authors of the [2018 proposal] I can attest that a wholesale tax was intentionally left out,” he wrote. The legislation is expected to go before the Michigan Senate on Tuesday. At least one no-vote is likely expected—Sen. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor, who told Bridge he believed that Michigan’s marijuana industry will take a major hit should a 24 percent wholesale tax take effect. “The secret sauce to having the legal market be successful and to drive the black market out is to have a reasonable licensing and taxation structure,” Irwin told Bridge during session Monday. “Well, adding a new cannabis tax into the mix now is going to tip that balance… It’s going to drive people out of the legal market.” That concern was shared by Schneider, head of the state Cannabis Industry Association, who noted roughly 47,000 people either directly or indirectly work in Michigan’s cannabis industry. If a wholesale tax is implemented, Schneider expressed concerns companies “are going to have to reduce their employee numbers” just to remain afloat. “After the vote tomorrow, our association’s number one focus is going to be to go back to the districts and support new candidates for every single person that voted yes” on the tax policy, she warned. The proposal won bipartisan support in the state House last week, however. Rep. Alabas Farhat, D-Dearborn, told reporters he doesn’t think marijuana companies are “doing as bad as they say they’re doing” based on the number of billboards he sees on Michigan highways. “We are heavily behind our peer states on where we ought to be on a wholesale tax,” he said, adding that Michiganders deserved to have “high quality roads that they can depend upon.” This article first appeared on Bridge Michigan and is republished here under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its adverse drug event reporting forms to begin tracking incidents related to hemp-derived cannabinoid products such as CBD. The change to the federal documents—which are used by healthcare professionals, consumers and companies to report adverse experiences with drugs, cosmetics and other products—received sign-off from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) earlier this month. This comes about three months after FDA posted a notice in the Federal Register advising that it would be requesting the approval for the cannabis-related change to the forms, which was first unveiled in January. The FDA change revises the “Product Type” field of safety reporting documents that are part of the agency’s MedWatch program to include a selection for “Cannabinoid Hemp Products (such as products containing CBD).” It was finalized following an initial public comment period that ended in May and a second round that closed in July. Two comments FDA received expressed support for the addition of a “cannabinoid hemp product” category “but encouraged FDA to include additional categories as well that would allow for specific data as it pertained to a wider variety of individual products,” the agency said at the time. A third called for changes to make entries easier by respondents. Also, asked in July about the widespread availability of intoxicating cannabinoid products, such as delta-8 THC, the head of FDA warned that the use of cannabinoids can lead to cardiac problems and psychosis. Meanwhile, the move to revise FDA forms 3500, 3500A and 3500B—designed to more actively gather information about adverse health effects that might be linked to hemp-derived products—comes amid a number of other CBD-focused actions at the federal level and state levels. For example, President Donald Trump on Sunday posted a video on his Truth Social platform promoting the health benefits of cannabis—suggesting that covering hemp-derived CBD under Medicare would be “the most important senior health initiative of the century.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

To that end, the members said there are plans in the works to introduce an alternative measure to regulate the market. While the Senate ultimately stripped similar language from its version of the agriculture spending measure following a procedural protest from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), there’s still concern among stakeholders that it could wind up in the final package delivered to the president following bicameral negotiations. Democratic senators also sent a letter to leadership earlier this month that warned of the major upheaval that would happen in the hemp market if products containing any amount of THC were banned. Dozens of hemp farmers from Kentucky also recently urged their state’s senior U.S. senator, McConnell, to back off from his push to recriminalize some products that are derived from their crops. 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 Harris, 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.

Bernie Moreno (R-OH) said if President Donald Trump follows through on marijuana rescheduling, it would “obviously” be “an important domino” toward building momentum to passing cannabis banking legislation in Congress. The Department of Justice agreed to further postpone a case challenging the administrative process behind the marijuana rescheduling proposal being considered by the Trump administration until January 27, 2026. Marc Fogel, a U.S. citizen who was jailed in Russia for possessing medical marijuana before being released through a deal reached by the Trump administration, will speak at a cannabis conference in Pennsylvania this weekend—”sharing his experience to highlight the need for compassionate, equitable policies.” The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control filed proposed changes to rules on labeling and packaging requirements for marijuana products. A new poll shows that Americans think smoking marijuana during pregnancy is not as risky as smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol, but that only 8 percent believe it carries “low risk” or “no risk.” Erin Bass, Amy Rubenstein and Julie Vanneman of Dentons authored a new Marijuana Moment op-ed arguing that “proactive compliance” to mitigate the risks of work-related asthma in the cannabis industry “will be essential to protect workers and limit liability.” / FEDERAL The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to take a case on whether property owners facing marijuana-related code enforcement fines from Humboldt County, California officials have a right to a jury trial. The Drug Enforcement Administration posted another profile on one of its special agents. Rep. James Comer (R-KY) tweeted, “I’ve witnessed firsthand the tremendous potential of industrial hemp to create quality jobs & meaningful economic opportunities for American workers & family farmers. I’m leading a bipartisan effort today to protect the hemp industry.” Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) authored a blog post touting his recent op-ed in support of marijuana rescheduling. / STATES A Pennsylvania senator tweeted, “Pennsylvania can’t afford to wait any longer. Our cannabis landscape is fractured, unregulated products are being sold in corner stores, while the illicit market continues to thrive. The time is now to establish the PA Cannabis Control Board. Let’s get this right!” Nebraska medical cannabis regulators stepped down, with one saying he felt Gov. Jim Pillen (R) sought his resignation due to his support for upholding the will of voters who enacted legalization initiatives. California officials published a report on marijuana revenue-funded youth drug prevention and treatment programs. Minnesota regulators launched a public education campaign about cannabis aimed at reaching people under the age of 25. Maryland regulators released new educational resources for cannabis cultivation and processing business employees. Washington State regulators added a new required reporting function to the state’s cannabis tracking system. The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority Board of Directors will meet on Wednesday.

On the list of activities that Americans say is dangerous for pregnant women to engage in, using marijuana falls below drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes, according to a new poll. The YouGov survey comes amid heightened attention to pregnancy-related risks after the Trump administration made a controversial assessment that linked acetaminophen, commonly known by the brand name Tylenol, to increased chances of autism for children. With respect to other substances, however, 66 percent of respondents said that using marijuana while pregnant poses a “high” health risk. Another 20 percent said there’s a “moderate risk” and 8 percent there’s either a “low” risk or no risk at all. By contrast, a total of 94 percent of Americans agree that smoking cigarettes is dangerous during pregnancy, including 84 percent who said there was a high risk. For alcohol, 96 percent said there’s either a high or moderate risk of drinking while pregnant. New polling on pregnancy risks % of U.S. adult citizens who think the following generally pose a high risk during pregnancy Cigarettes 84% Alcohol 81% Smoking marijuana 66% Exposure to pesticides 62% High stress 56% Eating raw fish 39% Taking acetaminophen 18% (Link in reply) pic.twitter.com/8T9soY4sz2 — YouGov America (@YouGovAmerica) September 26, 2025 The YouGov survey involved interviews with 2,267 U.S. adults, based on two separate 2025 polls from September 22-26 and September 23-25. The margin of error was +/-3 percentage points. The issue of cannabis use and pregnancy has been routinely debated and studied. Many experts say that marijuana shouldn’t be consumed by pregnant women, though some advocates argue that its relative harms could be outweighed in some cases by benefits in the treatment of major health conditions. In any case, advocates have pushed back against narratives that legalization adds to the risk of marijuana use during pregnancy, contending that creating regulatory models for cannabis is also a way to promote education that could inform vulnerable populations about potential risks of use. This past October, two federally funded reports published by the American Medical Association examined issues of cannabis and pregnancy. One study found that cannabis use during early pregnancy was not associated with child autism, while the other found no association with increased risk for early childhood developmental delays. Late last year, meanwhile, a report from a reproductive rights organization found that pregnancy-related prosecutions were at an all-time high in the wake of the 2022 Supreme Court decision that ended the nationwide right to abortion. By far the most common criminal allegation facing pregnant people was that they used marijuana or other drugs during their pregnancies. In Oklahoma, local news in 2022 began reporting that prosecutors there were targeting pregnant women for using medical marijuana, resulting in felony child neglect charges being filed against 26 mothers. The crime can carry up to a life prison in Oklahoma. In 2023, NIDA Director Nora Volkow blasted the criminalization of drug use by pregnant people and new parents, arguing that the resulting stigmatization is harming families and contributing to the overdose crisis. She said that families need “support, not criminalization.” Then in July of last year, a state court ruled that people cannot be prosecuted for child neglect for legally using medical marijuana while pregnant.
