A Virginia legislative commission on marijuana has unveiled a much-anticipated proposal to legalize recreational marijuana sales that it is recommending lawmakers pass during the 2026 session. And with an incoming governor supportive of the cannabis reform, advocates are optimistic that the plan could come fruition. After months of hearings and debate, the legislature’s Joint Commission to Oversee the Transition of the Commonwealth into a Cannabis Retail Market released a framework for an adult-use marijuana program at its final meeting on Tuesday. Since legalizing cannabis possession and home cultivation in 2021, Virginia lawmakers have worked to establish a commercial marijuana market—only to have those efforts consistently stalled under outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who twice vetoed measures to enact it that were sent to his desk by the legislature. Once the next legislative session begins in January, the new proposal is expected to be sponsored by Del. Paul Krizek (D), who has served as chair of the commission, as well as Sens. Louise Lucas (D) and Aaron Rouse (D). Notably, the latest version of the recommended legislation omits language from previous measures that would’ve allowed local jurisdictions to opt out of allowing marijuana businesses within their borders, while also increasing the authority of local governments to levy taxes and promoting a licensing structure that prioritizes small businesses. “Our commission has worked very diligently to review existing law and develop a bill that will not only establish a much needed adult-use retail market here in Virginia, but also reflect what Virginians wanted to be. And we’ve listened to you,” Krizek said in opening remarks on Tuesday. The panel didn’t release the text of a finalized bill it wants the legislature to pass—as staff are still making tweaks based on members’ input—and instead posted a seven-page document outlining changes from a bill that advanced last session. “Our goal has been to listen, and I think we have. And so this bill hopefully has a little for everybody,” Krizek said. “It builds a new market that supports hundreds of small businesses and strengthens Virginia agriculture, reduces the racial disparities created by the prohibition on marijuana and, most importantly, protects public safety and health.” Sen. Lashrecse Aird (D), the vice chair of the panel, echoed those points, stating that the commission “has taken the feedback that has been shared through various stakeholders. You will hear support for some of those recommendations, and you will hear continued opposition to some of those recommendations, but this is what they are.” “They are simply recommendations that will continue to be a fluid—continue to be assessed and further work all the way through this process, as well as the legislative process,” she said. “But I hope that what this matrix reveals today is a responsive attempt to try to take all of the feedback that has been received and structure it into a process and a framework that we can work from in a more collective way.” Krizek and Aird—alongside fellow commission member Rep. Will Morefield (R)—also laid out their thinking on the cannabis rgulatory framework in an op-ed published by Cardinal News on Monday. The lawmakers wrote that they “want retailers to reflect the character and essence of the communities they locate in.” “That’s why any legislation that removes the opt-out option will also allow local governments to maintain full zoning authority, set operational guidelines, review local business licensing and set buffer distances from schools and houses of worship,” they said. “We get one chance to get this right. Virginia has gone on too long in a state of confusion created by an unfinished cannabis law,” the legislators said. “No matter where a person lives, whether it’s in rural, urban or suburban Virginia, they deserve access to cannabis should they choose to use it, and without fear of contaminated products that put their health, safety and well-being at risk.” “There is only one way to do that, and it’s with a law that establishes a retail marketplace for adults that protects consumers and children, allows equitable and fair participation and access in that marketplace, supports law enforcement and fulfills the promise of true legalization,” they said. Here’s what Virginia’s marijuana sales legislation as passed last year would have done: Retail sales could begin as of May 1, 2026. Adults would be able to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana in a single transaction, or up to an equivalent amount of other cannabis products as determined by regulators. A tax of up to 11.625 percent would apply to the retail sale of any cannabis product. That would include a state retail and use tax of 1.125 percent on top of a new marijuana-specific tax of 8 percent. Local governments could levy an additional 2.5 percent. The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority would oversee licensing and regulation of the new industry. Its board of directors would have the authority to control possession, sale, transportation, distribution, delivery and testing of marijuana. Local governments could ban marijuana establishments, but only if voters approve an opt-out referendum. Locations of retail outlets could not be within 1,000 feet of another marijuana retailer. Cultivators would be regulated by space devoted to marijuana cultivation, known as canopy size. Both indoor and outdoor marijuana cultivation would be allowed, though only growers in lower tiers—with lower limits on canopy size—could grow plants outside. Larger growers would need to cultivate plants indoors. Secure greenhouses would qualify as indoor cultivation. Only direct, face-to-face transactions would be permitted. The legislation would prohibit the use of other avenues, such as vending machines, drive-through windows, internet-based sales platforms and delivery services. Existing medical marijuana providers that enter the adult-use market could apply to open up to five additional retail establishments, which would need to be colocated at their existing licensed facilities. Serving sizes would be capped at 10 milligrams THC, with no more than 100 mg THC per package. No person could be granted or hold an interest in more than five total licenses, not including transporter licenses. People with convictions for felonies or crimes involving moral turpitude within the past seven years would be ineligible to apply for licensing, as would employees of police or sheriff’s departments if they’re responsible for enforcement of the penal, traffic or motor vehicle laws of the commonwealth. An equity-focused microbusiness program would grant licenses to entities at least two-thirds owned and directly controlled by eligible applicants, which include people with past cannabis misdemeanors, family members of people with past convictions, military veterans, individuals who’ve lived at least three of the past five years in a “historically economically disadvantaged community,” people who’ve attended schools in those areas and individuals who received a federal Pell grant or attended a college or university where at least 30 percent of students are eligible for Pell grants. A “historically economically disadvantaged community” is defined as an area that has recorded marijuana possession offenses at or above 150 percent of the statewide average between 2009 and 2019. Tax revenue from the program would first cover the costs of administering and enforcing the state’s cannabis system. After that, 60 percent of remaining funds would go toward supporting the state’s Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Fund, 25 percent would fund substance use disorder treatment and prevention, 10 percent would go to pre-K programs for at-risk children and 5 percent would fund a public health and awareness campaign. Adults could also share up to 2.5 ounces with other adults without financial remuneration, though gray-market “gifting” of marijuana as part of another transaction would be punishable as a Class 2 misdemeanor and a Class 1 misdemeanor on second and subsequent offenses. A number of other new criminal penalties would be created. Knowingly selling or giving marijuana or marijuana paraphernalia to someone under 21, for example, would be a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a maximum $2,500 fine, as would knowingly selling cannabis to someone reasonably believed to be intoxicated. It would also be a Class 1 misdemeanor to advertise the sale of marijuana paraphernalia to people under 21. Knowingly obtaining marijuana on behalf of someone under 21 would be a Class 1 misdemeanor. People under 21 who possess or use marijuana, or attempt to obtain it, would be subject to a civil penalty of no more than $25 and ordered to enter a substance use disorder treatment and/or education program. Illegal cultivation or manufacture of marijuana, not including legal homegrow, would be a Class 6 felony, punishable by up to five years imprisonment and a $2,500 fine. People could process homegrown marijuana into products such as edibles, but butane extraction or the use of other volatile solvents would be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. As recommended by the joint commission, here’s how the bill would change for 2026: Retail sales would begin as of November 1, 2026. Local government could not opt out of allowing marijuana businesses to operate in their area. Localities wold have greater tax authority, however. They could impose up to a 3.5 percent local tax on marijuana sales, compared to a 2.5 percent cap in prior bills. Cannabis retailers could not operate within one mile of each other, rather than 1,000 feet as the original bill stipulated. The bill would create a “direct-to-consumer” license allowing micro-businesses to deliver their products to adult-use customers’ homes. Existing medical cannabis operators could have up to nine dispensaries for adult sales, if they pay a $10 million licensing conversion fee. Top-tier marijuana cultivator licensees could have a maximum canopy size of 35,000 square feet—half the size of what the original bill proposed. All cannabis businesses would have to establish a labor peace agreement with workers. Officials would need to explore allowing on-site consumption licenses and permits for cannabis events such as farmers markets. Up to 50 percent of initial cannabis licenses would go to micro-businesses. And all types of licensees would be limited to a maximum of five total retail and/or cultivation authorization. No sales or transfers of marijuana business licenses could be made without regulators’ approval. Doing so without approval would result in an automatic license suspension. Marijuana dispensaries that are operated by pharmaceutical processors would need to keep certain amounts of cannabis for sales that’s produced by micro-businesses or manufacturers owned by people disproportionately impacted by prohibition. “We’re trying to really make sure that there’s no monopolies and no Big Tobacco, right?” Krizek, the chair of the commission, said at Tuesday’s meeting, referring to ownership limits on licenses. “And so it’s better, in some ways, to be a little tougher with this iteration than not.” “If it comes back a year from now or two years from now, and it’s problematic, then we revisit the code. We make changes. But it seems to me, it’s more prudent to be the tough parent, if you will,” he said. “And then we can always walk it back a little bit because there’ll definitely be changes that we’ll need to make in the future.” JM Pedini, development director for the advocacy group NORML and executive director for Virginia NORML, told Marijuana Moment that the group will be “keeping a close eye on those inflated licensing fees and proposed tax rates—ultimately costs which are passed on to and paid for by cannabis consumers, not corporations.” “NORML will remain steadfast in our advocacy for consumers’ access to cannabis products that are safe, convenient, and affordable,” Pedini said. “Without cannabis consumers, there is no cannabis industry.” Chelsea Higgs Wise, co-founder and executive director of Marijuana Justice, testified before the commission on Tuesday, expressing concern that the timeline to start sales on November 1 of next year may disproportionately favor existing medical cannabis dispensaries that are able to convert sooner than new applicants could get licensed. “It would only be the medical folks that are there and able to sell,” she said. Rouse, one of the sponsors of the newly recommended 2026 proposal, said last month that he’s “very optimistic” about the prospect of advancing legislation to create an adult-use marijuana market in the coming session. That optimism is heightened by the fact that state Democrats widened their House majority, and voters elected a pro-legalization governor, in November. “Any measure that we can take to find revenue, I’m very optimistic about that approach,” the senator, who has been the lead sponsor of legislation to legalize and regulate adult-use sales that was vetoed by the outgoing GOP governor, said. “We, in Virginia, have to take every step we can to make sure we can find revenues that strengthen our communities, that strengthens the education process, that puts food on the table, that gets people back to work,” Rouse said. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

In addition to growing their majority in the Assembly, Democrats now have Abigail Spanberger as the state’s next governor, and the party also secured wins in the Commonwealth’s lieutenant governor and attorney general races. Spanberger, a former congresswoman, told Marijuana Moment ahead of the election that “as Virginia takes steps toward creating a legalized retail market for cannabis,” the commonwealth “needs a clear strategy to set up a market that is safe for consumers, transparent for businesses, and fair to entrepreneurs.” She added that “revenue from commercial cannabis products must return to Virginia communities and be reinvested for purposes like strengthening our public schools.” The governor-elect said she will “work with leaders in the General Assembly to find a path forward that both prioritizes public safety and grows Virginia’s economy”—and that part of that is establishing “a formalized, legal, emerging cannabis market.” During her time in Congress, Spanberger voted twice on the House floor in support of bills to federally legalize marijuana. She also consistently backed legislation to free up banking services for the industry, protect all state cannabis program from federal interference and expand marijuana research. The former congresswoman additionally opposed a proposal to remove protections for universities that study cannabis. She voted against certain reform proposals, however, including on measures to lift certain research barriers for Schedule I drugs and to revise federal policy to prevent past marijuana use from being used as a factor to determine eligibility for a security clearance. Spanberger cosponsored bills to provide medical cannabis access for military veterans on two occasions, and she cosponsored the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act during the 116th Congress. At the legislative commission’s first meeting in July, members discussing broad regulatory considerations and other issues related to THC potency, the hemp market and more. In August, the panel focused on cannabis taxes and revenue. Meanwhile, a top Democratic Virginia senator recently said the state should move forward with legalizing recreational marijuana sales—in part to offset the Trump administration’s cuts to federal spending in support of states.

“ESOP as a business structure can give hope to new businesses as they look to grow the Minnesota cannabis sector.” By Sen. Robert Kupec (D) and Rep. Nolan West (R), via MinnPost With new uncertainty around the federal legality of hemp products nationally and a rocky rollout of Minnesota’s cannabis market locally, we need to consider new policy solutions to help new Minnesota cannabis businesses achieve success for owners and employees. Thankfully, there is a bipartisan path forward by allowing employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) for cannabis businesses. Legislation allowing ESOPs has already been introduced (HF3330/SF3520) by members of both parties in both the House and the Senate. ESOPs are uniquely suited to address the problems in Minnesota’s cannabis market. They create crucial tax benefits the industry desperately needs. Due to IRS tax code 280E and federal prohibition, cannabis businesses cannot deduct business expenses like other businesses. As a result, they face debilitating effective tax rates that can exceed 70 percent. This creates a daunting environment for these new startup businesses, which currently have to pay leases and payroll, and they can’t even deduct payroll as a business expense. ESOPs eliminate this issue. A 100 percent employee-owned company does not pay federal or state income tax because it is deemed a qualified retirement plan under federal law. ESOP as a business structure can give hope to new businesses as they look to grow the Minnesota cannabis sector. Cannabis ESOPs have been successful in other states, from Maine to Illinois, and more states are considering them as their cannabis markets struggle under the tax burden, especially in mature markets. Nonpartisan research data from Rutgers University shows that ESOP business structures help to create meaningful multi-generational wealth for BIPOC communities—including many of the populations that were most impacted by the war on drugs. Allowing ESOP structures for Minnesota cannabis businesses can go a long way towards addressing the state’s equity goals, without chaotic lotteries or special licenses. It seems like every issue generates partisan fighting these days, but employee-owned companies perfectly appeal to both parties. They are pro-business and pro-worker. It is exactly the kind of policy that should move forward, considering the even partisan balance in the Minnesota Legislature. ESOPs would address the problems hampering this new industry, and Minnesotans already demonstrably approve of the structure. In fact, Minnesota claims more ESOPs per capita than any other state. When the next legislative session begins on February 17, the Legislature must take up and pass HF3330/SF3520 to allow ESOPs and give these new, small businesses a chance, and set Minnesota’s cannabis market on the right footing for the future.

Texas officials have conditionally approved nine new medical marijuana business licenses as part of a law that’s being implemented to significantly expand the state’s cannabis program. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced on Monday that it’s completed the first phase of the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) expansion selection process, which will now involve an additional due diligence assessment for the nine businesses before formally awarding the licenses. Officials said the conditional approvals “do not grant the applicant permission to cultivate, manufacture, distribute or sell cannabis products until final approval by the department.” “As a holder of a conditional license, the licensee is subject to the department’s ongoing due diligence evaluation,” DPS said. “Each conditional licensee is expected to fully comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the medicinal license issued under TCUP.” “DPS will be requesting additional information from these businesses and will not be invoicing any dispensing organization license fees until the additional due diligence evaluations are completed and passed. The announcement of these nine businesses today does not guarantee that these businesses will be issued final TCUP licenses to operate as dispensing organizations.” The law passed by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in June. DPS is required to issue a total of 12 new licenses under the legislation. The department will issue conditional licenses to three additional dispensaries by April 2026. Update: @TxDPS has commenced Phase I of the Texas Compassionate Use Program expansion selection process, and nine new businesses have been identified to proceed for an additional due diligence evaluation. More about Phase I can be found at https://t.co/D8YElj4qoL. pic.twitter.com/JdyLHyHk38 — Texas DPS (@TxDPS) December 1, 2025 This represents a major change to the program, as there are currently only three dispensaries licensed to operate in Texas. DPS in October adopted additional rules to increase the number of licensed dispensaries, establishing security requirements for “satellite” locations and authorizing the revocation of licenses for certain violations. Of the nine conditional licensees that were selected so far, two are owned by large multi-state operators: Trulieve and Verano. George Archos, Verano’s founder and CEO, said the news puts the company “one step closer to cultivating, processing and dispensing our extensive variety of high-quality medical cannabis products for Texas patients.” “As the second largest state by size and population, Texas’s medical cannabis program expansion marks a significant step forward for legal cannabis in the U.S., joining a growing number of states and an overwhelming majority of Americans that have embraced the regulated cannabis sector as a job creator and provider of health and wellness benefits for millions every day,” he said. Village Farms International, another multi-state operator, issued a press release about not being selected this round, saying its proposal will be considered in the upcoming second phase of approvals. “We remain committed to supporting the Texas cannabis industry, as the outcome of Phase I awards has zero impact on our financial performance, outlook or strategy,” Michael A. DeGiglio, president and CEO of the company, said. “We’ve proven that we don’t need first mover advantage to be successful, and will continue pursuing other opportunities to activate our Texas assets for cannabinoid production in the future.” “We believe our operational capabilities and infrastructure are well suited to support a viable industry in the State of Texas, and will continue working with policy makers and regulators to advocate for commonsense reform that enables safe access to affordable products,” he said. In addition to increasing the number of dispensaries in the state, the law signed by the governor also expands the state’s list of medical cannabis qualifying conditions to include chronic pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases, while also allowing end-of-life patients in palliative or hospice care to use marijuana. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Separately, DSHS recently adopted a set of emergency rules meant to prevent the sale of intoxicating hemp products to people under 21. After similar restrictions were implemented by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) in September, DSHS announced that they’ve moved forward with the policies changes that comply with the governor’s recent executive order on hemp. After the legislature failed to pass a controversial bill to ban hemp products containing THC during two special sessions following the governor’s veto of a similar measure earlier this year, the governor signed the executive order to impose certain restrictions on the market. Separately, 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.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is facing criticism after rejecting a grant application from an organization that helps connect veterans to programs abroad where they can receive psychedelic therapy to treat serious mental health conditions. While VA Secretary Doug Collins has been vocal about his support for expanding access to psychedelics like ibogaine in hopes of curbing the suicide epidemic among veterans, the organization No Fallen Heroes that supports efforts to facilitate the alternative treatment was told last month that it did not qualify for a suicide-prevention grant program. No Fallen Heroes “has been doing the work our government talks about but rarely delivers” for the past five years, Matthew “Whiz” Buckle, a Navy “TOPGUN” veteran who founded the group, said. “We’ve saved and changed the lives of over 100 veterans and first responders through real, trauma-informed support and sacred-medicine healing retreats.” The mission of the organization is specifically to mitigate the veteran suicide crisis, yet No Fallen Heroes “received a rejection letter from the VA for the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant” after an “exhaustive, in-depth application that our team poured their heart into,” he said. “We can assume why. We use psychedelic-assisted (sacrament-assisted) healing—the very thing saving the lives the VA keeps losing,” Buckley said. “But that’s the point: What we’re doing as a country clearly isn’t working. It is time to do something new.” For the past five years, the @NoFallenHeroes Foundation has been doing the work our government talks about but rarely delivers. We’ve saved and changed the lives of over 100 veterans and first responders through real, trauma-informed support and sacred-medicine healing retreats.… pic.twitter.com/Gf9ro3gJFo — Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley (@WhizBuckleyNFH) November 14, 2025 The rejection for the grant comes months after Buckle met with VA staff, and the secretary himself, to discuss the therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicine for the veteran community. Collins then raised the issue directly with President Donald Trump during a cabinet meeting in May. Collins “even mentioned nonprofits like No Fallen Heroes using these compounds to save and change lives,” the veteran said. “So clearly, the VA bureaucracy is not listening to its own leadership. Shocking, I know.” “If the VA and Secretary Collins believe there are organizations doing more to prevent veteran suicide than we are, I’d genuinely love to meet them. Because our track record speaks for itself,” he said. “We’re not here to wait. We’re not here to ask permission. Lead. Follow. Or get out of the way. Our heroes don’t have time for bureaucracy.” In the rejection letter, VA didn’t address the substance of the grant application. Rather, it said simply that the applicant did not meet “threshold requirements” to qualify, so they were deemed ineligible. “We regret to inform you that your agency’s SSG Fox SPGP application did not meet one or more of the requirements in 38 C.F.R. § 78.20 for threshold review, and it is therefore not eligible to be considered for funding,” Todd Burnett, acting director of the VA Office of Suicide Prevention, wrote. Marijuana Moment reached out to VA for comment about the grant application rejection, but a representative did not respond by the time of publication. Meanwhile, a former U.S. senator said recently that she’s personally spoken to both Collins and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about the therapeutic potential of psychedelics like ibogaine—and both members of Trump’s cabinet were receptive to reform on the issue. While former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) mentioned that Collins wasn’t especially familiar with psychedelics therapy before joining the Trump administration, the secretary has since become one of the most vocal proponents of advancing reform to facilitate access for veterans. In July, for example, the VA secretary touted his role in promoting psychedelics access for veterans with serious mental health conditions, saying he “opened that door probably wider than most ever thought” was possible. “I’m the first VA secretary—actually, in a Cabinet meeting about a month and a half ago—to actually bring up psychedelics in a Cabinet meeting,” Collins said at the time. “I think what we got to look at is we’ve got to put alternatives on the map. The VA is going to do our job. We’re going to do within the law and do what we have to do.” The secretary also said over the summer that he’s “very open” to expanding access to psychedelics therapy for veterans—emphasizing that he’s intent on finding ways to “cure” people with serious mental health conditions and not just treat their surface-level symptoms. Collins noted that VA either internally or through private partnerships is actively conducting about a dozen clinical trials into “various different substances that we’re seeing actually really good results on,” including one based at VA Bronx Health Care that’s investigating MDMA-assisted therapy with “actually really, really good results.” Image courtesy of CostaPPR.

A progressive political group is recruiting supporters to join a marijuana “advisory board,” warning of the risk that President Donald Trump and other Republicans could “steal” the popular issue away from Democrats. The Progressive Turnout Project recently sent out an action alert about the shifting political dynamics around cannabis, fundraising around the creation of what it calls a “Marijuana Decriminalization Advisory Board” that supporters can join to reclaim the popular cannabis issue. “If Democrats don’t act now, Trump and the GOP could steal marijuana reform right out from under us,” the email says. “That’s why it’s more important than for us to hear local Democrats’ honest opinions.” “Look, anti-marijuana policies wrongfully target Black Americans and have cost the U.S. BILLIONS of dollars,” it says. “Thankfully, House Democrats are working to federally legalize cannabis by sponsoring the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act.” That’s a reference to legislation that’s passed the House twice in recent sessions and was recently reintroduced for the 119th Congress by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and dozens of Democratic cosponsors. In addition to removing the drug from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the bill also contains a variety of provisions meant to promote equity and address the collateral consequences of prohibition. “But we have no idea if local Dems support this bill,” the PAC’s email says. “Your response is crucial to Democratic success: the GOP controls the House, and they want this bill CANCELED.” Of course, Republicans control both the House and Senate, in addition to the White House, so the bill’s prospects of advancing this Congress are unlikely in the first place. It’s notable, however, that the major political committee—which claims to have reached more than 220 million voters since its establishment—is zeroing in on the perception that GOP lawmakers could take marijuana reform away from the Democratic party. What’s less clear is what role members who join the PAC’s “advisory board” would play in reversing that perceived trend, however. Marijuana Moment reached out to the committee for clarification, but a representative did not respond by the time of publication. The group’s email links to a fundraising webpage that includes a survey with questions about support for decriminalizing and federally rescheduling cannabis as well as whether the respondent thinks it is “important to elect more Democrats who want to support ALL Americans instead of Republicans who only support their own agenda.” While cannabis legalization, particularly as it concerns medical marijuana, has become an increasingly bipartisan issue, support for reform still heavily skews Democratic. And a recent Gallup poll indicated that Republican support for legalization has fallen off somewhat in the past year. As Gallup noted, the overall decrease in support “mainly reflects improved Republican perceptions under Trump and his aggressive actions to limit the entry of drugs into the U.S.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

How closely linked these issues are is uncertain, especially given the fact that Trump endorsed marijuana rescheduling, industry banking access and a Florida adult-use legalization initiative on the campaign trial. But since taking office, the president has been less clear about his position. A poll released in June that Marijuana Moment partnered on with the cannabis telehealth platform NuggMD showed that a majority of marijuana consumers disapprove of the Trump administration’s actions on cannabis policy to date, but there’s also a significant willingness among users to shift their position if the federal government opts to reschedule or legalize marijuana. Earlier this year, meanwhile, a firm associated with Trump—Fabrizio, Lee & Associates—also polled Americans on a series of broader marijuana policy issues. Notably, it found that a majority of Republicans back cannabis rescheduling—and, notably, they’re even more supportive of allowing states to legalize marijuana without federal interference compared to the average voter.

A former U.S. senator says she’s personally spoken to the heads of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) about the therapeutic potential of psychedelics like ibogaine—and both members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet were receptive to reform on the issue. Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), who served as a Democrat for most of her career in Congress before becoming an independent, said there’s a unique opportunity under the Trump administration to free up access to psychedelics for therapeutic purposes, citing her “close” relationship to the HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and shifting political views around the alternative therapies. Sinema spoke in an interview with Politico about the “magical, unique time” the country is at with respect to psychedelics reform during a recent event organized by Americans for Ibogaine, an advocacy organization co-founded by former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R). “Is there an opportunity to get this done in this administration? Heck, yeah,” she said, adding that Kennedy “is a disruptor and he supports psychedelic medicine.” “The possibility is ripe in this administration, and we should strike while the iron is hot,” the former lawmaker, who’s disclosed her own therapeutic use of the psychedelic ibogaine, said. In addition to Kennedy, Sinema said she advised VA Secretary Doug Collins about the potential of psychedelics to help veterans with serious mental health conditions. “He’d not heard of it. He’d not even heard of psychedelic medicine,” she said. “He was skeptical at first. He’s a conservative pastor from Georgia. Then he met with some veterans and he saw the science and as you’ve heard, he’s the most vocal person in the administration in favor of psychedelic medicine.” “Historically, I think you saw psychedelics—not necessarily psychedelic medicine—but psychedelics, dominated by the hippie left,” she said, told Politico. “Psychedelic medicine as a treatment for disorders is important to many people on the right. I want to be clear: The reason is not because it’s psychedelics—it’s because nothing else works.” The former senator said that “in a conservative’s brain, psychedelics are not a drug. They are a medicine.” “In the old-school left psychedelic movement, they’re seen as a drug. That drug has healing properties, but it also has other properties that they celebrate that are not just medicine,” she said. “I think what you might be seeing from mainstream blue communities is concern about looking like weirdo, hippie lefties if they support psychedelics. It also might be a commitment to mainstream medicine. It also could be, politically speaking, skepticism if conservatives like it.” As the Arizona legislature advanced a ibogaine research bill earlier this year, the former senator—who also championed psychedelics legislation while serving in Congress—rallied support for the reform, while pledging to personally raise $5 million in philanthropic donations to support the psychedelic research if it was ultimately enacted. Last year, a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) official who’s since transitioned into an advisory role applauded Sinema for her “knowledge of the psychedelic literature and all of the relevant issues,” while touting the agency’s work advancing research into the novel therapies. For his part, Kennedy, the health secretary, reportedly still uses psychedelics despite being otherwise sober, a forthcoming book from a journalist who allegedly had a romantic relationship with him implies. Last month, Kennedy, Vice President JD Vance, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner and other Trump administration officials attended a “Make America Healthy Again” summit that featured a session dedicated to exploring psychedelic medicine. While Sinema mentioned that Collins wasn’t especially familiar with psychedelics therapy before joining the Trump administration, the secretary has since become one of the most vocal proponents of advancing reform to facilitate access for veterans. In July, for example, the VA secretary touted his role in promoting psychedelics access for veterans with serious mental health conditions, saying he “opened that door probably wider than most ever thought” was possible. “I’m the first VA secretary—actually, in a Cabinet meeting about a month and a half ago—to actually bring up psychedelics in a Cabinet meeting,” Collins said at the time. “I think what we got to look at is we’ve got to put alternatives on the map. The VA is going to do our job. We’re going to do within the law and do what we have to do.” The secretary also said over the summer that he’s “very open” to expanding access to psychedelics therapy for veterans—emphasizing that he’s intent on finding ways to “cure” people with serious mental health conditions and not just treat their surface-level symptoms. Collins noted that VA either internally or through private partnerships is actively conducting about a dozen clinical trials into “various different substances that we’re seeing actually really good results on,” including one based at VA Bronx Health Care that’s investigating MDMA-assisted therapy with “actually really, really good results.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Last October, Kennedy specifically criticized FDA under the prior administration over the agency’s “suppression of psychedelics” and a laundry list of other issues that he said amounted to a “war on public health” that would end under the Trump administration.

“There are many similarities in how CBD can benefit dogs and humans medically.” By Deborah Pirchner, Frontiers Cannabis derived products, including cannabidiol (CBD), have been becoming more popular for humans—and it might not be any different for dogs. Researchers now have used multi-year data reported by dog owners who did or did not feed their dogs CBD supplements and showed that dogs who received CBD had distinct demographics: they were older and more likely to have health issues. The findings also showed that over time, dogs who received CBD supplements showed less aggressive tendencies. This behavioral change may be an important therapeutic finding for both dog welfare and human safety, the team said. In humans, CBD is thought to have therapeutic effects for some conditions including chronic pain, nausea or inflammation. Now, dogs may be reaping some of the benefits, too, according to a new study. Researchers in the U.S. have used data from the Dog Aging Project to characterize demographics, health status and behavior of dogs that used CBD or hemp supplements. They published their results in Frontiers in Veterinary Science. “Behaviorally, dogs given CBD products for multiple years are initially more aggressive compared to dogs not receiving those products, but their aggression becomes less intense over time,” said senior author Dr Maxwell Leung, an assistant professor and the director of Cannabis Analytics, Safety and Health Initiative at Arizona State University. “This long-term behavioral change highlights the potential of CBD as a therapy for canine behavioral issues,” added co-author Dr Julia Albright, an associate professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Tennessee. Older, ailed, and male The study is the largest to examine CBD use of companion animals in the U.S. to date. The data comes from the Dog Aging Project, a community science project where dog owners report on their pets’ diets, lifestyles, health and environment over multiple years. Data from 47,355 dogs was used. Between 2019 and 2023, owners completed annual surveys concerning health and life experiences of their pets. The owners also reported how often they gave their dogs CBD or hemp supplements. Frequent use meant a daily supplement, infrequent use meant a supplement given less often than once a day. If dogs had never been given CBD supplements, owners could report no use. The team found several links between dog demographics and CBD use. “In our sample, 7.3 percent of the companion dogs in the U.S. have been given CBD and hemp products,” said Leung. 2,759 of those dogs (5.8 percent) were frequently given supplements. These dogs were on average three years older than those who didn’t receive them. Some health conditions were especially associated with CBD use. The highest prevalence was found among dogs with dementia (18.2 percent), followed by dogs with osteoarthritis joint problems (12.5 percent), and those with cancer (10 percent). Dogs receiving the supplement were also more likely to live in states where medical cannabis is legalized for humans. This could indicate the influence of the bond between humans and their pets on owners’ decision making about CBD use. Male dogs were more likely to be given CBD supplements; a 9 percent increase compared to female dogs. Dogs’ physical activity level did not differ between those who received CBD and those who didn’t. Docile dogs The team also found that CBD use resulted in behavioral change. After prolonged use, dogs that received supplements were reported to have below-average aggression levels, compared to dogs with no CBD use, which could point to a direct effect. “Dogs with consistent CBD use showed a decline in the intensity of aggressive behaviors over time compared to a more steady trend among non-use dogs.” For other behaviors, including agitation or anxiety, no similar effect was observed. “Most canine aggression is related to underlying stress or anxiety—a fight or flight response that kicks in. It is unclear why only aggression but not other types of anxious or agitated behaviors seemed to be improved with CBD treatment,” Albright said. In the current study, the team did not look into the mechanism of behavioral changes, and further studies are needed to confirm the calming effects of CBD products, they said. The data used may also have been subjected to owners’ bias, and no information on dosage, formulations, administration routes, and product sources was collected. “At this point, we do not have a complete picture about the behavioral treatment plan,” Albright pointed out. For owners who might consider giving their dogs CBD supplements, choosing a reputable brand is critical, the team said. They should also be mindful of the dosage, as CBD products can have adverse effects, including gastrointestinal issues and diarrhea. The team said the study serves as a starting point to better understand how CBD products can help alleviate behavioral and health issues that affect aging populations, companion animals and humans alike. “There are many similarities in how CBD can benefit dogs and humans medically,” Leung concluded.

Texas officials have officially adopted rules further expanding the state’s medical marijuana program, allowing doctors to recommend new qualifying conditions for cannabis patients and creating standards for allowable low-THC inhalation devices. Following a public comment period, the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has now posted finalized rules in the Texas Register—responsive to a law enacted by the legislature earlier this year. The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) under DSHS said part of the rule change, which will enable the department to “receive physician requests to add medical conditions to the list of qualifying conditions for which physicians may prescribe low-THC cannabis,” did not change from its initially proposed form following the comment period. Specifically, doctors will be able to submit recommended medical cannabis qualifying conditions to DSHS, which must then forward the recommendation to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). That department will be tasked with submitting the request to lawmakers for consideration in the next legislative session. The other component of the new rule related to pulmonary inhalation devices was slightly revised in response to public feedback. For example, the language now reflects that physicians may–but are not required–to prescribe vapes for patients to use cannabis. The rule was also amended to make it so dispensing entities can submit a form to DSHS requesting approval of additional pulmonary inhalation devices. And while the department said it isn’t in a position to set safety standards for those devices, requests to make them available for prescription must come with an attestation that they’re “safe and effective.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

DPS will ultimately be issuing 12 new licenses for dispensaries across the state. Currently there are only three. The additional licensees will go through a competitive process, with officials prioritizing Texas’s public health regions to optimize access. The first round of licenses will be awarded to nine of 139 applicants who submitted their forms during an earlier application window in 2023. DPS will select those nine licensees on December 1. The 2023 applicants that didn’t receive a license, as well as any new prospective licensees, will have another shot at getting their license during a second round where awardees will be announced on April 1, 2026. In addition to increasing the number of dispensaries in the state, the law signed by the governor also expands the state’s list of medical cannabis qualifying conditions to include chronic pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases, while also allowing end-of-life patients in palliative or hospice care to use marijuana. Separately, DSHS recently adopted a set of emergency rules meant to prevent the sale of intoxicating hemp products to people under 21. After similar restrictions were implemented by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) in September, DSHS announced that they’ve moved forward with the policies changes that comply with the governor’s recent executive order on hemp. After the legislature failed to pass a controversial bill to ban hemp products containing THC during two special sessions following the governor’s veto of a similar measure earlier this year, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed the executive order to impose certain restrictions on the market. Separately, 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.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Ad Council are rolling out a new campaign to “challenge the dangerous belief that it’s safe to drive after consuming marijuana,” with a disturbing ad that they say depicts a real-life story of a child killed by a driver who was under the influence of cannabis. In an announcement on Tuesday, the Ad Council promoted the “Tell That to Them” initiative, which includes a 60-second ad showing a person claiming they “focus” better when driving while high and then causing a fatal car accident. “I actually drive better when I’m high,” the man says. “If anything, I’m more careful, more chill, more relaxed.” He is then shown driving head-on into an incoming car. DOT’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) partnered with the Ad Council for the campaign. “Too many young men think marijuana doesn’t affect their driving ability or even makes them safer drivers,” NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison said in a press release. “That couldn’t be further from the truth.” “Marijuana slows down a driver’s reaction time and impairs their coordination and judgement,” he said. “This new PSA reminds motorists that driving high puts us all at risk and can have deadly consequences.” Michelle Hillman, chief campaign development officer at the Ad Council said their research “shows some young men don’t see the risk associated with driving while high—and even more concerning, some even believe it makes them better drivers.” “This new PSA taps into the justification some drivers tell themselves and interrupts it with our campaign’s central message: ‘If you feel different, you drive different,'” she said. “We’re proud of this new work that builds on our 30-year partnership with NHTSA to reshape driver habits, and we’re grateful to our trusted creative partners at Standard Practice for bringing this powerful message to life.” The ad campaign represents a departure from recent cannabis-related NHTSA ads, which have taken a less “Just Say No” approach to marijuana use risk messaging and, at times, leaned into to cannabis culture to promote education around the potential consequences of driving while high. NHTSA’s “If You Feel Different, You Drive Different” campaign kicked off last year, with ads discouraging marijuana-impaired driving around Thanksgiving and winter holidays like Christmas. What stood out about the messages and graphics was the lack of fear-mongering and negative depictions of cannabis consumers that’s long been a hallmark of federal marijuana PSAs, such as those funded by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) in the 1990s and 2000s that perpetuated stigmas about laziness or forgetfulness. Instead, NHTSA seemed to be leveraging cannabis culture, with warnings against impaired driving that are coupled with images meant to appeal to marijuana consumers. Now that tone has shifted, with the latest ad depicting a man looking as an unconscious mother and deceased child’s feet after a car accident that’s being attributed to marijuana use by an over-confident driver. It’s unclear if this is directly or indirectly responsive to language in a spending bill approved by the House in July that would block the federal traffic safety agency from supporting ads to “encourage illegal drug or alcohol use.” Prohibitionists have celebrated the inclusion of those provisions. Morrison, the head of NHTSA, said in August that he was prepared to “double down” on increasing awareness about the risk of marijuana-impaired driving in partnership with the White House. In 2021, meanwhile, NHTSA tried to get the word out about the dangers of impaired driving through an ad featuring a computer-generated cheetah smoking a joint and driving a convertible. Critics noted that the world’s fastest land animal hardly fits the stereotype of a cannabis consumer that the government has historically played into, while other commenters pointed out at the time that the ad made the cheetah look confusingly cool as he’s broke the law. The agency also played on horror-movie tropes in a 2020 ad featuring two men running for their lives from an axe murderer. The pair ultimately find a vehicle to escape the scene, but the driver pauses before he turns the key in the ignition. “Wait wait wait,” he says. “I can’t drive. I’m high.” While it’s widely understood that driving under the influence of cannabis is dangerous, the relationship between consumption and impairment is a messy one. Last year, for example, a scientific review of available evidence on the relationship between cannabis and driving found that most research “reported no significant linear correlations between blood THC and measures of driving,” although there was an observed relationship between levels of the cannabinoid and reduced performance in some more complex driving situations. “The consensus is that there is no linear relationship of blood THC to driving,” the paper concluded. “This is surprising given that blood THC is used to detect cannabis-impaired driving.” That report was by no means the first research to challenge the popular view that THC blood levels are a suitable proxy for driving impairment. In 2015, for example, NHTSAconcluded that it’s “difficult to establish a relationship between a person’s THC blood or plasma concentration and performance impairing effects,” adding that “it is inadvisable to try and predict effects based on blood THC concentrations alone.” In a separate report last year, NHTSA said there’s “relatively little research” backing the idea that THC concentration in the blood can be used to determine impairment, again calling into question laws in several states that set “per se” limits for cannabinoid metabolites. “Several states have determined legal per se definitions of cannabis impairment, but relatively little research supports their relationship to crash risk,” that report says. “Unlike the research consensus that establishes a clear correlation between [blood alcohol content] and crash risk, drug concentration in blood does not correlate to driving impairment.” Similarly, a Department of Justice (DOJ) researcher said last February that states may need to “get away from that idea” that marijuana impairment can be tested based on the concentration of THC in a person’s system. “If you have chronic users versus infrequent users, they have very different concentrations correlated to different effects,” Frances Scott, a physical scientist at the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Office of Investigative and Forensic Sciences under DOJ, said. That issue was also examined in a recent federally funded study that identified two different methods of more accurately testing for recent THC use that accounts for the fact that metabolites of the cannabinoid can stay present in a person’s system for weeks or months after consumption.
