“They cannot undo the will of the voters. Every lawsuit, every delay, every political maneuver is confirmation that we are winning.” By Zach Wendling, Nebraska Examiner The Nebraska Supreme Court appeared skeptical Wednesday about a case alleging fraud in and seeking invalidation of last year’s medical cannabis petition campaign, which voters widely supported. Former State Sen. John Kuehn (R) of Heartwell, a longtime opponent of medical marijuana, continues to allege widespread “fraud” in the 2024 medical cannabis petitions. His lawsuit argues a district judge incorrectly ruled last November that the measures had enough signatures to reach the ballot despite allegations from Kuehn and two top state officials, largely based on questions about notaries. Kuehn sued Secretary of State Bob Evnen (R) and the ballot sponsors, but Evnen and Attorney General Mike Hilgers (R) largely joined forces with Kuehn. Together, they argued that at least enough signatures would lose a “presumption of validity” to force the trial into a second phase involving greater scrutiny of signatures. “Notaries are, in effect, walking stamps of approval,” Zach Pohlman, state deputy solicitor general, said Wednesday. “They are professional truth tellers. And so when they lie, that presumption of truth…gets pierced, and they become just like every other witness.” If the justices reverse, the 2024 medical cannabis ballot sponsors might need to rehabilitate enough signatures to show at least 86,499 valid signatures on two petitions apiece for the voter-approved laws to stand, or 172,998. The campaign had 6,822 more signatures validated than it needed. No other court in the country has adopted such a legal argument that would extend or “impute” one instance of notarial fraud to other documents that person had notarized, Daniel Gutman, attorney for the ballot sponsors, has repeatedly said. Timing of election case Some justices probed how a ruling would fit more than a year after the 2024 election. “What impact does it have that the signatures have already been verified?” asked Justice Stephanie Stacy, referring to county-level verification in summer 2024, before the ballot was certified. “We know how the election turned out. What effect does that have?” asked Justice William Cassel. Pohlman and former State Sen. Andrew La Grone of Dunbar, for Kuehn, said the Supreme Court could still legally invalidate the petitions. La Grone noted local election officials are not handwriting experts and can’t catch everything. “When there are bad acts related to the affidavit…the value of the verification is destroyed, and the petition must fall unless the genuineness of the signature is permanently shown,” La Grone said. Pohlman said the state’s highest court has invalidated a notary’s actions before, citing a 1944 case about a mail-in ballot. He said some other documents have also been invalidated. “Of that document. But other documents notarized by the notary, have we invalidated those types of situations?” asked Chief Justice Jeffrey Funke. “Not in Nebraska, your honor,” Pohlman responded. A new legal theory Justice Jonathan Papik pressed whether the arguments from Pohlman and La Grone have ever been used in other states. Pohlman pointed to Oklahoma, where he said that because a notary failed to post a notary bond, 7,000 signatures the person had notarized were tossed. Attorney Daniel Gutman, for the ballot sponsors, pointed to a case from North Dakota where the state supreme court declined a “wholesale rejection” of signatures and chose not to “impute” one bad act to other notarizations. La Grone and Pohlman said the cases are different, in part because they’re not seeking “wholesale” invalidation, just a second trial phase. Gutman said the result is the same. “The remedy the appellants seek in this case—which is the mass invalidation of petition signatures—is inconsistent with the high value this court places on the initiative right,” Gutman said. “It is inconsistent with the Election Act, which facilitates, not undermines, the initiative process. And it is inconsistent with common sense.” State attorneys had previously asked the trial judge to toss the petitions without a second phase last year, a position that appears to have narrowed. Circulators and notaries Wednesday’s arguments largely revolve around a 1919 Nebraska Supreme Court case—Barkley v. Pool—in which the court said a circulator’s fraudulent behavior could be extended to other actions. In that case, three men against women’s suffrage forged signatures in a petition campaign seeking to force a vote to overturn a 1917 law giving women some voting rights. One circulator for the medical cannabis petitions from Grand Island pleaded guilty last year to forging signatures, including by using a phone book. Campaign officials maintain he worked alone and agree any signatures he gathered should not be counted. Lancaster County District Judge Susan Strong ruled last year that there were some signatures she said lost a “presumption of validity” and would need to be rehabilitated, identifying 711 signatures on the legalization petition and 826 on the regulatory petition. However, Strong ruled that the challenges still fell “well short” of affecting access to the ballot. Pohlman said Strong should have extended the wrongdoing she found to all other signatures the people touched, potentially tens of thousands of signatures. He said county-level verification is “some evidence on the front end” but that circulator oaths are critical. Justice Jason Bergevin asked La Grone whether there was any evidence that electors who purportedly signed the petitions, outside of the Grand Island case, didn’t actually sign. La Grone said that’s a “very open question,” one which Kuehn wants to get to in the second trial phase. Funke asked La Grone whether he was asking the court to transition Barkley to notaries. La Grone said the “focal point” is a circulator’s “oath,” one which requires a notary. “We think it is merely an application of the rule to the notary context,” La Grone said. Funke also asked whether, under Barkley, a trial judge must extend fraudulent acts to all other actions, or whether there is judicial discretion. La Grone told Funke it is “slightly unclear.” Strong ruled that, either way, the ballot sponsors would survive the Evnen-Kuehn challenge. Future of petition law Gutman said the medical cannabis and women’s suffrage cases are different, and he asked the high court to consider whether the century-old case law is still good. He pointed to technological advancements and county officials now being part of the signature verification process. For example, only the secretary of state verified signatures in 1919, Gutman said, so Barkley relied on a circulator’s oath more as “the only evidence of the genuineness of the signature.” “Every expansion of the scope of wrongdoing that may be imputed increases the risk of unjustly depriving an honest [signer] of the right to have his or her signature counted,” a legal brief from the ballot sponsors reads. The AG’s Office has sought to frame the case as protecting the integrity of the ballot measure process. Pohlman said Wednesday that if the “proven fraud” in this case didn’t require a second phase of trial, “then the public’s confidence and the precious power of initiative may be shaken.” Many medical cannabis supporters and campaign attorneys have said the opposite, arguing that continued attacks from top officials against the medical cannabis petitions and laws are more harmful. Gutman has said ballot litigation is also made “extremely difficult” when the secretary of state certifies an initiative but “tries to pull the plug at the last minute.” A case about ‘numbers’ Gutman said the Kuehn-Evnen case is about “numbers,” specifically at least 3,464 signatures on the campaign’s petition to legalize up to 5 ounces of medical cannabis with a physician’s recommendation and at least 3,358 signatures on a petition to set a framework for regulating the new medicine. The legalization law received 71 percent support statewide, including a majority in all 49 legislative districts. The regulatory law received 67 percent support, including a majority in all but three legislative districts. Gutman said that if the one bad notary act invalidates all others, those arguments could mean wills, real estate documents and more are “presumptively invalid right now.” Some targeted notaries have helped other petition drives in the state. La Grone said he was not asking to extend notarial wrongdoing on petitions to unrelated documents. Of the notaries named in the Kuehn-Evnen challenges, just one—Jacy Todd of York—faces a criminal case in Grand Island. He is believed to be the first notary to face charges, with a trial set to begin December 15. He is also running a 2026 GOP campaign for governor. According to the Secretary of State’s Office, no notaries have had their notary commissions administratively canceled in 2025. According to a state-run database of notaries, all named notaries retain active notary licenses except Todd, whose commission expired July 29. What would a second phase look like? Funke asked what a second phase would look like, to which Gutman said he doesn’t imagine doing anything more than local election officials. “If we go back to a second trial, there’s nobody we can hire, nothing we can do, nothing I can say, that is better than what the election officials have already done to verify the signatures,” Gutman said. Pohlman said a second phase would mean sponsors have to prove “by a preponderance” that they have enough signatures. He said the Supreme Court would need to require the trial move forward “as quickly as possible” and could prohibit circulator affidavits from being repaired by “self-serving testimony.” “So does that mean they’d call 86,000 signatories to testify that the petition was read to them, they understood what they were signing and they actually signed it?” Funke asked. “And do that quickly?” Papik added. Pohlman said he doesn’t think the sponsors would need to call that many people, just circulators, notaries and enough voters to clear the threshold, if possible. Some of the notaries targeted in the case also served as circulators. The 2024 campaign marked the third attempt for Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana to reach a statewide vote. In 2020, a divided Supreme Court, 5-2, said the first attempt was too broad. Papik wrote the dissent and would have let voters weigh in. In 2022, the campaign did not garner enough signatures. Some campaign volunteers have privately worried about issue fatigue for voters or campaign workers. Some have also expressed concern about whether some circulators, notaries or voters would come forward as the state continues to pursue civil, criminal and political penalties against some medical cannabis supporters. In a Wednesday statement, Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana, which ran the 2024 campaign, said: “They cannot undo the will of the voters. Every lawsuit, every delay, every political maneuver is confirmation that we are winning.” The Supreme Court will issue a ruling in the coming months on the case.

A Democratic congresswoman is demanding more information from the Trump administration about its current cannabis enforcement policy on federal lands after Marijuana Moment reported obtained documents showing that Biden-era guidance urging prosecutorial discretion was rescinded earlier this year. The guidance from former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice coincided with mass pardons for people who committed federal cannabis possession on or before December 22, 2023. It’s not clear why the document wasn’t publicized at the time, but its rescission under the Trump administration has created controversy. Overall, the Biden administration memo, obtained by Marijuana Moment under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, ordered U.S. prosecutors to be “extremely cautious” about how to handle future cannabis cases following the former president’s clemency action. But now, a key member of Congress—Cannabis Caucus co-chair Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV)—says the disclosure of the guidance and notice of rescission isn’t enough and she wants further clarification from President Donald Trump’s DOJ. “The Trump Administration wrongfully rescinded Biden-era guidance that discouraged the prosecution of simple cannabis possession on federal property,” Titus told Marijuana Moment on Wednesday. “Still, my questions to Attorney General Pam Bondi from two weeks ago about how the Trump Administration plans to handle these cases remain unanswered.” The congresswoman had sent a letter to Bondi last month asking for details on the apparent “reversal” of cannabis enforcement guidance after the U.S. attorney from Wyoming mentioned the previously unannounced move in a press release. “This move is a step backward for commonsense cannabis policy reform and will further exacerbate the cycle of unfair prosecution and incarceration,” Titus told Marijuana Moment on Wednesday. In addition to encouraging prosecutorial discretion for marijuana cases, the Biden-era guidance also had specific implications for medical cannabis patients in legal states and federal laws on gun possession by marijuana consumers. But the document wasn’t promoted by the administration at the time, despite Biden repeatedly touting the cannabis pardons and his directive for a federal review into marijuana scheduling. Last month, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming disclosed that the guidance was rescinded in September, and it said cases involving marijuana would consequently be “rigorously” enforced on federal land. The Biden administration memo advised prosecutors about the scope of the pardons, noting limitations of the clemency action and stressing that, while a pardon represents formal forgiveness for low-level cannabis cases that took place on or before December 22, 2023, U.S. attorneys should generally “oppose motions seeking to expunge records related to pardoned marijuana possession convictions.” On multiple occasions, Biden misrepresented that part of the relief by suggesting that pardons would be accompanied by expungements of past records. But those limitations notwithstanding, the guidance did advise federal attorneys that they “should move to dismiss all [marijuana] charges that are subject to the pardon proclamation”—and that they were further required to report to higher-ups in the Justice Department before pursuing certain additional cannabis-related cases. “Because marijuana remains illegal under federal law, U.S. Attorneys retain the discretion to prosecute cases involving simple possession, use, or attempted possession of marijuana against individuals whose conduct was not covered by the pardon proclamation,” the document says. But, it continues, “U.S. Attorneys should be extremely cautious and measured in the exercise of this discretion.” “Effective immediately, all charges of simple possession of marijuana and other charges where the underlying criminal conduct involves simple possession, use, or attempted possession of marijuana…may only be pursued with the approval of the U.S. Attorney or a supervisory AUSA designated by the U.S. Attorney,” the guidance states. That discretionary policy and reporting requirement was explicitly rescinded in a more recent notice from Francey Hakes, director of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) under the Trump administration, that was distributed to federal prosecutors on September 29 of this year, for reasons that remain unclear. The message from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming about justifying increased enforcement in light of the rescission of the prior guidance adds to the uncertainty around how the current administration views its enforcement role as federal and state cannabis laws continue to conflict. For example, the notice from Smith’s office comes just one day after Trump signed a key spending bill that contains provisions to ban consumable hemp products with THC—a move that industry stakeholders say would eradicate the market that’s emerged since the president signed the 2018 Farm Bill legalizing the crop during his first term. Then there’s the ongoing marijuana rescheduling process that the president said in late August would be decided within a matter of weeks. That still hasn’t come to fruition—and a White House spokesperson told Marijuana Moment last month that “there is a process ongoing regarding the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on rescheduling marijuana from May 2024 and all policy and legal requirements and implications are being considered.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

But when he was pressed on the status of the rescheduling process in mid-August, he was less clear about his personal stance. The administration was “only looking at that” reform, and it’s too “early” to say how the issue will be decided, he said at the time, adding that “it’s a very complicated subject.” Meanwhile, top White House staffers under the Biden administration recently shed new light on the mass marijuana pardon and cannabis rescheduling process they helped facilitate, revealing the extent to which they were involved in broader clemency actions that are now under scrutiny by GOP leaders. Also, as the marijuana rescheduling proposal awaits action, some GOP members of Congress have been urging Trump to move forward with the reform—with one lawmaker taking a jab at Biden by joking that it’s possible the prior administration “must have not been able to find the autopen in time” to complete the cannabis reform process it initiated. Separately, the president in October posted a video on his Truth Social platform promoting the health benefits of cannabis—suggesting that covering CBD under Medicare would be “the most important senior health initiative of the century.” The post Congresswoman Demands Details On Trump DOJ Marijuana Policy After Biden Guidance It Rescinded Is Revealed appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

Colorado-based marijuana entrepreneur Wanda James is running for Congress, pledging to push for a complete end to federal cannabis prohibition if she’s elected. Anything short of legalization—whether that’s a bill focused on industry banking access or another incremental reform such as rescheduling—won’t cut it, she says. James, who owns the Denver dispensary Simply Pure, is challenging Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) in next year’s Democratic primary to represent Colorado’s 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. She spoke about her cannabis legalization platform at a MJBizCon event on Wednesday. “No banking bill will save us. No half step will fix this. No incremental tweak will correct decades of damage,” she said in a press release ahead of the conference. “Only legalization gives this industry oxygen.” “Only legalization ends 280E. Only legalization ends the raids. Only legalization ends the fear,” she said, referring to the existing policy preventing cannabis businesses from taking federal tax deductions and broadly putting companies at risk of federal enforcement action. “Only legalization stops the fragmented nonsense that destroys operators while confusing the public.” “And let me be very clear about something else,” she said. “This is not a fight between hemp and cannabis. It is the same plant. The same history. The same communities. The same families. The same disrespect. It’s time to send someone to Congress who will meet the moment our industry demands.” In a statement on her campaign site, James similarly said she will “champion legislation to remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) entirely” if elected. Simply rescheduling the plant or kicking the can down the road with “administrative delays” is insufficient, she said. “Full legalization. PERIOD,” she said. “This is the only way to move forward with federal safety standards, interstate commerce, banking access, and national market stability.” “In Congress, I will work with reform-minded officials, veterans in both parties, and economic innovation committees to ensure legalization is implemented quickly, safely, and with strong public-health and consumer protections,” James added. Today, I’m launching #LegalizeNOW — not reschedule, not half-measures.⁰ Full federal legalization is the only path.⁰ It’s time for real leadership that meets the moment. pic.twitter.com/YZa8BabjGA — Wanda4congress (@wanda4congress) December 2, 2025 The campaign statement also said James would push for legislative reform that involves putting marijuana tax revenue toward community reinvestment initiatives supporting “affordable housing, mental-health services, childcare assistance, public-school improvements, and neighborhood economic development.” “This approach ensures that legalization becomes a tool to lift families, support working people, and rebuild ALL communities harmed by decades of discriminatory and wasteful enforcement,” she said. The candidate further said she’d “push for a federal equity framework that ensures communities disproportionately impacted by criminalization receive licensing priority, business development support, and access to federal grants and low-interest capital.” James said the regulatory approach to marijuana she’d support would prevent “corporate consolidation from wiping out small operators and the pioneers who built this industry.” “I will fight for antitrust protections, federal loan access, and fair interstate commerce rules that allow small businesses to compete without being crushed by multinational interests,” she said. “And I will push for clear federal packaging, testing, and transportation standards so entrepreneurs can scale responsibly across state lines.” Also, as a military veteran herself, James said she’d pursue reform that’d allow doctors at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to recommend medical cannabis to the veteran population “without fear of penalty or bureaucratic barriers.” In 2023, James approached then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at an event focused on higher education and pressed him on stalled-out marijuana banking legislation, expressing how Black entrepreneurs in the industry are broadly supportive of the incremental reform to free up banks and credit unions to work with state-licensed cannabis businesses. “I would be thrilled to see more and more movement on this. However—make no mistake—first and foremost, we must get basic banking over the finish line,” she told Marijuana Moment at the time, adding that her own personal bank accounts were closed recently due to her involvement in the marijuana industry. James is also an elected regent at the University of Colorado, and her role in the marijuana industry became a point of contention leading to a formal censure by the Board of Regents after she criticized an advertisement campaign warning of the risks of cannabis use that she called racist because of its portrayal of Black people using marijuana. “This is a victory for me, because we have completely exposed the University of Colorado’s issues with race,” she said of the censure. “We have been able to lay them bare for the world to see, and I could not be more proud of my community and the people who have stood with truth and stood against anti-Blackness.” Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) responded to the board’s censure action, writing that the “First Amendment protects the right to free expression,” and neither “a White House executive order nor a public university policy can override this fundamental right.” The First Amendment protects the right to free expression. Neither a White House executive order nor a public university policy can override this fundamental right.

For example, she’s sponsored legislation—as well as an appropriation rider—to prevent federal interference in state cannabis laws.

Former President Joe Biden didn’t just issue mass pardons for federal marijuana possession offenses during his term—his administration also ordered U.S. prosecutors to be “extremely cautious” about how to handle future cannabis cases, according to a previously unpublished guidance memo obtained by Marijuana Moment that has since been rescinded under the Trump administration. The guidance, issued on February 26, 2024—which also had specific implications for medical cannabis patients in legal states and federal laws on gun possession by marijuana consumers—wasn’t publicized even as the then-president was campaigning for a second term that year. That’s despite Biden repeatedly touting the cannabis pardons and his directive for a federal review into marijuana that resulted in a recommendation to reschedule the plant. But last month, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming disclosed that the guidance was rescinded in September, and it said cases involving marijuana would consequently be “rigorously” enforced on federal land. In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, DOJ provided Marijuana Moment with the initial guidance and the notice of the rescission under President Donald Trump on Wednesday. The Biden administration memo advised prosecutors about the scope of the pardons, noting limitations of the clemency action and stressing that, while a pardon represents formal forgiveness for low-level cannabis cases that took place on or before December 22, 2023, U.S. attorneys should generally “oppose motions seeking to expunge records related to pardoned marijuana possession convictions.” On multiple occasions, Biden misrepresented that part of the relief by suggesting that pardons would be accompanied by expungements of past records. But those limitations notwithstanding, the guidance did advise federal attorneys that they “should move to dismiss all [marijuana] charges that are subject to the pardon proclamation”—and that they were further required to report to higher-ups in the Justice Department before pursuing certain additional cannabis-related cases. “Because marijuana remains illegal under federal law, U.S. Attorneys retain the discretion to prosecute cases involving simple possession, use, or attempted possession of marijuana against individuals whose conduct was not covered by the pardon proclamation,” the document says. But, it continues, “U.S. Attorneys should be extremely cautious and measured in the exercise of this discretion.” “Effective immediately, all charges of simple possession of marijuana and other charges where the underlying criminal conduct involves simple possession, use, or attempted possession of marijuana…may only be pursued with the approval of the U.S. Attorney or a supervisory AUSA designated by the U.S. Attorney,” the guidance states. That discretionary policy and reporting requirement was explicitly rescinded in a more recent notice from Francey Hakes, director of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) under the Trump administration, that was distributed to federal prosecutors on September 29 of this year, for reasons that remain unclear. Here’s what Trump’s DOJ said regarding the Biden-era guidance: “EOUSA issued the February 26, 2024 memorandum Department Guidance Regarding the Impact of the President’s Recent Proclamation Pardoning Certain Marijuana Offenses which provided that approval of the United States Attorney (USA) or a supervisory AUSA designated by the USA was required for initiation of all charges of simple possession of marijuana and other charges where the underlying conduct involved simple possession, use, or attempted possession of marijuana. The Memorandum also required that all such charging decisions must be reported immediately to EOUSA’s Controlled Substances Coordinator within 72 hours. This charging guidance and reporting requirement is hereby rescinded, effective immediately.” The Biden guidance, meanwhile, also specified that the pardon proclamation “does not expunge prior convictions.” “With the limited exception of certain individuals who may be eligible for expungement under 18 U.S.C. § 3607, U.S. Attorneys should oppose motions seeking to expunge records related to pardoned marijuana possession convictions,” it says, adding that another key limitation of the clemency action is the fact that cannabis remains federally illegal, so prosecutors could pursue simple possession cases that occurred after the proclamation was issued. “The proclamation does not pardon any other offenses and does not impact the ability to prosecute other crimes related to marijuana or other controlled substances. U.S. Attorneys may continue to charge defendants with simple possession of other controlled substances and other marijuana-related offenses, such as possession of marijuana with intent to distribute or distribution of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), and crimes related to impaired driving caused by marijuana use or public intoxication… U.S. Attorneys may also bring cases for marijuana possession, attempted possession, or use involving conduct that occurred after December 22, 2023, or was otherwise not covered by the pardon proclamation, but should do so with great caution and appropriate supervisory approval.” But the enhanced reporting requirements for prosecutions involving low-level cannabis cases stands out as an example of administrative reform—a policy change the Biden administration curiously declined to capitalize on months before the November 2024 election. Mike Liszewski, the principal of Enact Consulting, told Marijuana Moment after reviewing the memo that he sees “two important takeaways” from the original document and the fact that it has now been rescinded. “First, by the previous DOJ issuing guidance to dismiss marijuana simple possession cases, withdraw associated warrants and fees, and discourage future prosecutions, Biden’s December 2023 pardon proclamation had further reaching impacts in terms of criminal justice reform than we originally thought,” he said. “It strikes me as political malpractice for the Biden administration not to have publicized this guidance at the time it was issued.” “Second, by this current DOJ rescinding the guidance discouraging marijuana simple possession prosecutions, it shows that this administration is seeking to more aggressively prosecute people who use marijuana,” Liszewski said. “Notably, the DOJ’s current position on prosecuting simple marijuana possession offenses seems to be at odds with President Trump’s campaign statements in support of Florida’s 2024 adult-use ballot measure.” When contacted by Marijuana Moment on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Justice Department declined to comment about the reasoning for the rescission of the guidance. Another notable section of the Biden guidance seems to make a policy distinction for people who use cannabis for medical versus recreational purposes, specifically as it concerns the use of marijuana constituting a violation of the conditions of pretrial release, probation and supervised relief. “Violations of conditions of supervision that are based on the medicinal use of marijuana by an individual who lives in a state that authorizes medicinal use, and who has a valid, state-issued medical marijuana license or permit might not warrant the revocation of release conditions in all situations,” the document says. “Accordingly, if the U.S. Probation Office files a violation of supervised release or probation petition based on a defendant’s personal use of marijuana for medicinal purposes in conformity with state law, U.S. Attorneys have the discretion to recommend alternatives to incarceration as an appropriate penalty,” it says. It’s not immediately clear why that distinction for medical cannabis patients, as opposed to adult-use marijuana consumers was made, but it’s possible it’s related to a longstanding congressional spending bill rider that prohibits DOJ from using its funds to interfere in the implementation of state medical cannabis programs. There’s no equivalent rider in place for recreational marijuana laws. Additionally, the memo touches on prosecutions of cases involving marijuana and firearms—a subject that’s been litigated in federal courts across the country in recent years, with the U.S. Supreme Court recently saying it will take up a case on the issue. It states that prosecutors “may pursue charges under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) or 18 U.S.C. § 922(d)(3) based on the unlawful use of, or addiction to, marijuana because the proclamation does not change the fact that marijuana use violates federal law.” However, in order to “mitigate potential litigation risk,” U.S. attorneys “should be cautious before proceeding under these firearms provisions and consult with EOUSA’s Controlled Substances Coordinator prior to doing so.” That seems to be something of an admission of the legal vulnerability of the hotly contested statute. The U.S. attorney for Wyoming, Darin Smith, said last month that the recent rescission reenforces his office’s intent to use “every prosecutorial tool available to hold offenders accountable.” “The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming remains steadfast in its mission to uphold the rule of law, including the enforcement of federal statutes prohibiting the possession of marijuana and other controlled substances,” he said. The federal prosecutor’s message adds to the uncertainty around how the current administration views its enforcement role as federal and state cannabis laws continue to conflict. For example, the notice from Smith’s office comes just one day after Trump signed a key spending bill that contains provisions to ban consumable hemp products with THC—a move that industry stakeholders say would eradicate the market that’s emerged since the president signed the 2018 Farm Bill legalizing the crop during his first term. Then there’s the ongoing marijuana rescheduling process that the president said in late August would be decided within a matter of weeks. That still hasn’t come to fruition—and a White House spokesperson told Marijuana Moment last month that “there is a process ongoing regarding the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on rescheduling marijuana from May 2024 and all policy and legal requirements and implications are being considered.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

But when he was pressed on the status of the rescheduling process in mid-August, he was less clear about his personal stance. The administration was “only looking at that” reform, and it’s too “early” to say how the issue will be decided, he said at the time, adding that “it’s a very complicated subject.” Meanwhile, top White House staffers under the Biden administration recently shed new light on the mass marijuana pardon and cannabis rescheduling process they helped facilitate, revealing the extent to which they were involved in broader clemency actions that are now under scrutiny by GOP leaders. Also, as the marijuana rescheduling proposal awaits action, some GOP members of Congress have been urging Trump to move forward with the reform—with one lawmaker taking a jab at Biden by joking that it’s possible the prior administration “must have not been able to find the autopen in time” to complete the cannabis reform process it initiated. Separately, the president in October posted a video on his Truth Social platform promoting the health benefits of cannabis—suggesting that covering CBD under Medicare would be “the most important senior health initiative of the century.” Read the cannabis enforcement guidance and rescission notice below: The post Newly Revealed Biden Marijuana Guidance Rescinded By Trump DOJ Told Prosecutors To Be ‘Extremely Cautious’ About Cannabis Cases appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

“Our governments, farmers and small businesses need more guidance and regulatory certainty—not blanket bans.” By U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), via MinnPost Since Congress legalized hemp in 2018, Minnesota’s hemp industry has blossomed. In the roughly two and a half years since Minnesota signed its own hemp legalization bill into law, hemp has grown into a $200 million a year industry, creating thousands of local jobs in everything from farming and brewing to soapmaking and textiles. It has flourished because Minnesota stepped up to do things the right way by implementing smart and reasonable regulation at the state level. But a few weeks ago, congressional Republicans decided to turn back the clock on the progress Minnesota’s hemp industry has made—threatening local jobs, small businesses, tax revenue and innovation along with it. Much to my disappointment, they did so without talking to Minnesota stakeholders or engaging with the committees most involved in the hemp supply chain—from growth to final product. That includes the House Agriculture Committee, where I serve as the top Democrat. Since then, my office has been flooded with calls, emails and letters from concerned Minnesotans. If the federal government is to get involved in hemp production and sales at the state level, it ought to do so by providing regulatory clarity and market structure for a growing industry—not by adopting one-size-fits-all policies that upend a critical economic engine overnight. In Minnesota, hemp supports jobs at 132 licensed growers, 96 licensed processors and over 2,000 retailers. Despite only a minority of Minnesotans reporting regular use of cannabis or hemp-derived products, a majority—over 60 percent—say they support its legalization. These Minnesotans are not a monolith. Everyone from veterans to hockey moms use hemp-infused products, and consumer choice would be restricted by federal overreach. This newly passed law gives Congress one year to determine a path forward that protects Minnesota small businesses and consumers. Instead of taking a step backward, Congress should look to taking the next step forward to create regulatory certainty for hemp products nationwide. Federal agencies need to know who is in charge, and who regulates what. While certain decisions can be left to the states—in the same way that states are allowed to regulate the sales of alcohol—the federal government still has a role to play regarding which agencies have jurisdiction over what aspects of the cannabis industry. Everyone from veterans to hockey moms use hemp-infused products, and (despite what my Republican colleagues think) it's not the federal government’s place to get involved. I’m supporting the family farmers that grow hemp, the small businesses that process it and the Minnesota… pic.twitter.com/UMjhqvcYG3 — Angie Craig (@RepAngieCraig) December 3, 2025 The U.S. Department of Agriculture should establish the guidelines and regulations for the growth and production of hemp, including hemp fiber and grain—a surprising source of protein. The Food and Drug Administration likely needs to engage around hemp-infused edibles and beverages, dietary supplements, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Other federal agencies likely need to have a say in other areas, including the Federal Trade Commission, which could influence how these products are marketed and advertised across the country, and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which has experience regulating the production of intoxicating substances. I have been at the forefront of this effort. In 2020, I joined a cohort of Minnesota lawmakers to call on federal agencies to coordinate and streamline hemp rules so that Minnesota farmers, businesses and tribes could benefit from the budding industry. In 2023, I worked across the aisle and put forth bipartisan legislation to protect consumers and ensure food and dietary supplements made with cannabidiol (commonly referred to as CBD) were properly regulated. Any solution must also address the very real concerns expressed by retailers, parents and law enforcement. That includes preventing hemp-derived products from being marketed to children in the same way that vapes and e-cigarettes have been, with their eye-catching colors and bubblegum-flavored cartridges. Their worries make sense. I’ve seen firsthand the jobs and opportunities that legal hemp provides in Minnesota and heard from concerned parents about unregulated hemp-products. I applaud our state for setting the gold standard for hemp regulation and oversight when the federal government would not. Our governments, farmers and small businesses need more guidance and regulatory certainty—not blanket bans. I stand ready to continue my work in Congress to support the Minnesota farmers who grow hemp, the small businesses that process it, and the Minnesota brewers and small businesses that produce and sell safe regulated products. Rep. Angie Craig, a Democrat, represents Minnesota’s 2nd congressional district and is a candidate for U.S. Senate.

State agencies that regulate marijuana are far more attentive to public health concerns than the those charged with overseeing alcohol, a new government-funded study has concluded. “Cannabis regulatory agencies largely outperform alcohol regulatory agencies in terms of their articulated public health goals, activities, and policies,” the authors, all affiliated with the University of Maryland, wrote. For the study, researchers analyzed recent annual reports from state regulatory agencies in all 24 U.S. states where adult use cannabis is legal as of mid-2025. They compared how cannabis and alcohol regulatory agencies outlined their goals, reported collaboration with health agencies and described activities aimed at improving public health and safety. According to the analysis, 68 percent of cannabis regulatory agencies referenced public health goals in their mission statements, compared with just 35 percent of those that oversee alcohol. As some campaigns to legalize recreational cannabis swept through state ballots over the last decade, “regulate marijuana like alcohol” was a common refrain—but the new study suggests that in practice, marijuana is now being regulated more robustly than alcohol when it comes to key public health measures. The authors also observed differences in outcomes among states, depending on the manner in which marijuana legalization was achieved. “Compared to states that legalized adult-use cannabis through ballot initiatives, states that legalized through their legislatures reported more public health indicators for both cannabis and alcohol regulators,” they wrote. The paper also notes that while the initial wave of laws ending marijuana prohibition were passed via voter initiatives, “states adopting adult-use cannabis legalization more recently have predominantly legalized through their state legislatures and have cannabis regulators that report on a greater number of cannabis-related public health issues.” Regardless of the method of legalization, the researchers, who are affiliated with the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Maryland, concluded that “adult-use cannabis regulatory agencies reported all public health indicators more often, while alcohol regulatory agencies reported engaging in law enforcement efforts more often than cannabis regulators.” The study was funded by a grant from the California Department of Cannabis Control and published in the December 2025 edition of the scientific journal International Journal of Drug Policy. The authors caution that further investigation would be beneficial in understanding the differences among state regulations. “More research is needed to assess whether public health-related actions reported by cannabis agencies translate into tangible public health benefits among cannabis using and affected populations,” they wrote. The new study comes as members of Congress have teamed up across the aisle to prepare the federal government to regulate marijuana like alcohol. One bill that has been introduced in the House would direct the attorney general to create a commission charged with making recommendations on a regulatory system for cannabis that models what is currently in place for alcohol. It also comes at a time when a coalition of leading alcohol industry groups successfully urged Congress to impose a ban on intoxicating hemp products—though they said they would ultimately like federal officials develop a comprehensive regulatory framework for the products. Additionally, the study comes on the heels of a GOP senator saying in June that opponents of marijuana legalization “have lost” the fight to maintain prohibition and that it’s time for lawmakers to address that reality by creating a regulatory framework treating cannabis “in the same way that we do with alcohol and tobacco,” so that states can set their own policies without federal interference.

Doctors in Texas can now complete and submit an official state form to recommend adding new medical conditions that they think should qualify a patient for medical marijuana. And dispensaries can also use the form to put forward proposals to authorize specific inhalation devices for patients. After officials adopted rules in compliance with a recently enacted state law expanding Texas’s medical cannabis program, the Department of State Health Services released the new form on Tuesday. For doctors seeking to add qualifying conditions for medical marijuana, they are required to submit peer-reviewed research justifying the expansion. Dispensaries, meanwhile, must affirm that the device they’re recommending is “safe and effective for the pulmonary inhalation of low-THC cannabis.” The form is being distributed just as the state Department of Public Safety (DPS) has conditionally approved nine new medical marijuana business licenses as part of a new cannabis law. Under 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. 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. 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.

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. Meanwhile, a recent survey from a GOP pollster affiliated with President Donald Trump found that Texas Democratic and Republican voters are unified in their opposition to the hemp ban proposal.

A top marijuana reform group is encouraging people to participate in an annual holiday letter drive by sending messages of hope and support to those who remain behind bars over cannabis offenses. The Last Prisoner Project (LPP) has been running the letter-writing campaign for the past seven years, putting a spotlight on the fact that while a majority of states have legalized marijuana for some purpose, there are still thousands of incarcerated people facing the consequences of cannabis criminalization. The letter drive isn’t necessarily about promoting specific reforms. Rather, it’s meant to simply connect with people who might feel especially pained around the holiday season as they remain locked up over marijuana instead of being able to spend time with their families and friends. “The holidays can bring a heavy loneliness for those behind bars,” Stephanie Shepard, acting executive director of LPP, said in a press release. “After serving nearly 10 years in prison for a non-violent, first-time cannabis conviction, I know how isolating it can feel to be away from family and friends during this season. I hope people will consider taking a few minutes to write—it means more than you can imagine.” LPP has an online portal where supporters can send letters to incarcerated people, and it also provides a guide on how to find addresses to physically mail letters to impacted people serving time in prisons across the country. “You may also host or participate in a letter-writing drive (for example: at your workplace, business or with friends). Suggested settings include holiday parties, work events, front-of-business locations, or shared social media campaigns,” the advocacy group said. Philip Feng, who is helping lead this year’s holiday letter-writing campaign after serving nearly two years in prison over a non-violent cannabis conviction, said that, while incarcerated, “the hardest moments were the ones when I felt cut off from the world.” “A single letter could break through that isolation. It reminded me that I still had value, that people on the outside hadn’t forgotten me,” he said. “This drive gives that same lifeline to others who are still waiting to come home.” In September, LPP and the Balanced Veterans Network (BVN) launched a separate campaign to mobilize military veterans to help convince Republican lawmakers to embrace embrace federal cannabis reform. Also, while state legislatures considered a number of criminal justice reform bills around marijuana this year, most ultimately failed to make it across the finish line—a trend advocates at LPP described in a review released over the summer the “hidden crisis in cannabis reform.” — 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. Learn more about our marijuana bill tracker and become a supporter on Patreon to get access. — The nonprofit has long pushed for legalization of cannabis to include measures meant to address past drug war harms. In May, the group organized a coalition of marijuana reform advocates that held an event outside the White House to urge President Donald Trump to free those still incarcerated over cannabis. The rally was part of a “Cannabis Unity Week of Action” helmed by LPP that also involved congressional lawmakers who’ve spoken about their own efforts to advance reform on Capitol Hill. It featured multiple speakers who shared stories about their personal experiences with the criminal justice system and their advocacy work, making the case to the administration that now is the time to put a definitive end to marijuana criminalization. At the federal level, Trump is facing pressure on multiple fronts to fulfill campaign pledges to federally reschedule marijuana. That wouldn’t federally legalize the plant, but it could signal a softening of the decades-long war on cannabis. While Trump said in mid-August a decision on rescheduling would come within weeks, that hasn’t come to fruition.
