The White House now scheduled a total of four meetings with cannabis industry and research stakeholders this week to discuss a proposed enforcement policy for CBD products. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) under the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced earlier this month that it plans to review yet-unpublished guidance titled “Cannabidiol (CBD) Products Compliance and Enforcement Policy” that was submitted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Interested parties are able to request meetings to discuss the issue—and now four meetings have been set for April 1-2. David Heldreth, CEO of Panacea Plant Sciences, was the first to secure a meeting with OIRA, and he told Marijuana Moment last week he intends to use the opportunity to encourage FDA to develop more holistic guidance around CBD that goes beyond isolates of the cannabinoid. Since then, the White House has accepted requests for meetings to discuss the yet-to-be-published CBD rule with Trent Woloveck of the multi-state cannabis operator Jushi Holdings on Wednesday, as well as Mackie Barch of Story Cannabis and Iowa hemp farmer Earl Ramey on Thursday. All of this comes months before changes to federal hemp laws are set to significantly shake up the industry, with a ban on most consumable cannabinoid products containing THC taking effect in November. As part of the underlying law, FDA was tasked with publishing a list of known cannabinoids, but it missed a congressionally imposed deadline to fulfill that obligation and it’s unclear when that list will ultimately be furnished. Some have speculated that the enforcement policy guidance that OIRA is reviewing concerns the executive order President Donald Trump signed in December to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which also included provisions directing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to create a pathway for CBD health care coverage. To that end, CMS did recently shared new details about that plan, which would make it so patients enrolled in select insurance programs could have up to $500 of hemp-derived products covered each year beginning as early as Wednesday. The CBD-focused plan will also allow a certain amount of THC in products, but the agency said the planned rules are subject to change if federal hemp policy changes, as is currently expected under the law set to take effect in November. Participants would be required to ensure that CBD is sourced from “a legally compliant source and high-quality farm,” prepared as an oral solution and tested for cannabinoid content so that available products contain no more than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC by dry weight and up to 3 milligrams of total THC per serving. CMS said that centers participating in one of three models that receive substance access Beneficiary Engagement Incentives (BEI) will be able to “consult with eligible beneficiaries about the possible use of eligible hemp products to improve symptom control.” The new details about the rules for the CBD pilot program come weeks after a co-founder of the hemp company Charlotte’s Web, which has been collaborating with CMS, said the agency had already finalized its plans for federal health insurance coverage of cannabidiol. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

CMS had already announced certain changes as part of a rulemaking process that was unveiled late last year, affecting “marketing and communications, drug coverage, enrollment processes, special needs plans, and other programmatic areas” for insurance programs it oversees. One of those changes dealt with cannabidiol coverage. Meanwhile, with respect to the marijuana components of Trump’s December executive order, Attorney General Pam Bondi was directed to expeditiously finalize the proposal to reschedule cannabis, which would not federally legalize it but would remove certain research barriers and let state-licensed marijuana businesses take federal tax deductions they’re currently barred from under an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code known as 280E. That rescheduling proposal remains pending, however. The post White House Schedules More Meetings On Cannabis Product Enforcement Policy From FDA For This Week appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

The governor of New York is marking the five-year anniversary of adult-use marijuana legalization in the state, touting $3.3 billion in retail sales, the opening of more than 600 licensed cannabis shops and achievements in promoting social equity in the industry while taking steps to mitigate the illicit market. In a press release on Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said “New York committed to building a cannabis market rooted in equity, safety, and opportunity” when the state enacted the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act five years ago. “We are creating new pathways for small businesses while aggressively shutting down illicit shops that threaten public safety and undermine our legal market,” the governor, who has helped lead the implementation of the cannabis reform and celebrated its milestones along the way, said. “Our focus is clear: protect consumers, support legal businesses, and ensure this industry grows the right way.” In addition to seeing $3.3 billion in recreational marijuana sales over the past half-decade, New York officials have also licensed 2,161 cannabis businesses across the supply chain, including 610 retailers that are now operational. The 600th marijuana shop, Pure Blossoms, recently opened its doors in Manhattan. “New York’s cannabis market is demonstrating that growth and equity are not mutually exclusive,” Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) Acting Executive Director John Kagia said. “With more than $3 billion in sales, a majority of licenses held by Social and Economic Equity applicants, and a rapidly expanding retail footprint, the State is building a market that is both economically viable and intentionally inclusive.” “These outcomes reflect a deliberate approach to ensuring long-term stability, accountability, and opportunity across the industry as we continue to strengthen the market and expand access in the years ahead,” he said. All told, more than half (56 percent) of adult-use marijuana licensees have go to Social and Economic Equity (SEE) applicants, which surpasses the state’s statutory goal. Those SEE licensees include 57 percent that have gone to women-owned businesses and 51 percent to minority-owned businesses. Also with respect to equity achievements, the state is promoting the fact that more than 400,000 cannabis-related convictions are been deemed eligible for expungement, and over 200,000 have already been sealed. Another 107,000 cases have been “suppressed pending sealing,” and nobody is currently incarcerated in state prison for a marijuana-related offense alone, the governor’s release says. Further, the state has distributed $5 million in funding for community reinvestment through a fund supported by marijuana tax dollars, and another $5 million is currently available in the fund that aims to promote youth development, workforce training, housing opportunities and public health projects for people in areas disproportionately impacted by criminalization. The MRTA “centered on equity, economic opportunity and restorative justice,” Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes (D), who a key champion of adult-use legalization in the state, said. “These core principles remain my priority as the legal cannabis market continues to mature.” “We, as legislators, and leaders in the state, have a duty to take steps to correct the harm that was done by the War on Drugs. As the adult-use cannabis market in New York State continues to grow, we must not lose sight of the equity tenants of MRTA,” she said. “New York State’s cannabis market is setting the standard that the rest of the country should follow and I am immensely proud of that.” Sen. Erik Bottcher (D) said that, five years into the state’s legalization experience, “we’re seeing small businesses and entrepreneurs finding their footing as well as and investments that are reaching communities that were disproportionately impacted in the past.” “The opening of new, licensed dispensaries and the shutdown of illegal dispensaries reflects that forward momentum,” he said. “Thank you to Governor Hochul for ensuring that as the industry continues to grow we remain focused on supporting responsible operators and customers alike.” In January, meanwhile, New York officials released a set of reports providing a 2025 end-of-year status update on the evolution of the state’s medical and adult-use marijuana markets—touting record sales, revenue hauls for state coffers, licensing approvals, equity initiatives and more. The OCM annual report also notes that Hochul signed legislation into law that expands the state’s medical cannabis program by improving patient access and “updating the program framework to better meet patient needs statewide.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

“Higher taxes do not eliminate consumer demand. They simply change where consumers buy their cannabis.” By Rodney Holcombe, LeafLink In recent piece, The New York Times editorial board called for a federal tax on cannabis and urged states to raise their own taxes to “dollars per joint, not cents.” That argument assumes cannabis is lightly taxed today—but across the country, the opposite is true. Taxes on legal cannabis are higher than almost every industry in the United States and have generated nearly $25 billion since adult-use sales commenced in 2014. Despite these rates, efforts to increase cannabis levies are continuing to gain steam. In 2025 alone, Maryland, Minnesota, Maine, Ohio, Michigan and California attempted to raise or expand cannabis taxes. This year, Colorado and Oklahoma are looking to do the same. Many of those proposals emerged as lawmakers confronted budget shortfalls and the expiration of federal pandemic aid. Cannabis has increasingly been treated as an untapped source of revenue. In several large markets, cannabis taxes are layered on top of one another. Excise taxes are combined with state sales taxes, wholesale taxes, local taxes and, in some cases, potency-based taxes. In states such as Illinois, Michigan and Washington, the effective burden can exceed 40 percent. This is in addition to the federal tax burden cannabis businesses carry under §280E, which limits their ability to deduct ordinary operating expenses. These structures are straining the legal market. High tax burdens are contributing to business closures (particularly among smaller operators) and pushing many consumers to the illicit market. According to publicly available data, several highly taxed states, including California, Colorado, Illinois, and Washington, have experienced year-over-year declines in adult-use sales and industry job losses in recent years. At the same time, the illicit markets across these states remain entrenched. In California, one of the nation’s oldest legal cannabis markets, estimates suggest that roughly 60 percent of sales still occur outside the regulated system. Higher taxes do not eliminate consumer demand. They simply change where consumers buy their cannabis. Licensed businesses pay for testing, packaging, compliance systems, labor and sometimes local licensing. Unregulated sellers do not. When the legal price rises too far above the illicit alternative, price-sensitive consumers shift accordingly. That weakens the regulated market that legalization was intended to build. When tax increases take effect, the impact shows up quickly in wholesale pricing pressure, retailer margin compression, and shifts in purchasing behavior. The cannabis industry is still new, but data tell us that the type of tax matters as much as the rate. THC-based potency taxes have created compliance and administrative challenges in states such as Connecticut and Illinois. Because liability is tied to measured THC content rather than price, minor variations in laboratory testing can alter tax obligations. That adds cost and uncertainty for operators. It also influences pricing in ways that do not necessarily advance public health goals. New York eliminated its potency tax and replaced it with a distributor-level excise tax after determining the structure was not working as intended. States with lower and simpler effective tax structures have generally shown more stable performance. Markets with competitive total burdens and several years of operating history have tended to demonstrate steadier sales and job growth. While federal prohibition and hemp-derived THC competition complicate conditions nationwide, tax policy remains fully within state control. Recent developments illustrate how sensitive these markets are to tax changes. In 2025, San Diego raised its local cannabis tax to 10 percent, double the rate when it was first introduced. Data show that the tax brought in less revenue than projected, likely as a result of consumers seeking out alternate channels for purchasing products. In Michigan, a 24 percent wholesale tax took effect this year atop the existing excise and sales taxes. The state’s January 2026 sales revenue decreased 16 percent from December and falls below January 2025 levels. Cannabis tax revenue funds many meaningful programs across the country, but these programs depend on a functional legal market that can actually generate that revenue. If tax rates push consumers back to the illicit market, this revenue simply won’t materialize. The issue is not whether cannabis should be taxed. It is whether tax systems are calibrated in a way that allows the legal market to function as intended. Calls to raise taxes to “dollars per joint” overlook how high effective tax burdens already are in many states. When licensed operators are forced to compete with illicit sellers, higher taxes risk slowing the transition of consumers into regulated channels and weakening this still nascent industry. If policymakers are evaluating the performance of legalization or creating a framework for a new market, tax design should be a critical part of that conversation. Excessive and complex tax systems make it harder for licensed businesses to compete and for states to achieve their public health, safety, and revenue goals.

Texas Senate and House leaders are directing lawmakers to study issues related to cannabis products and psychedelic therapy during the legislature’s interim in preparation for a new session scheduled to begin in early 2027. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), who oversees the Senate, pushed to pass legislation last session to ban hemp THC products. The legislation was approved by lawmakers but was later vetoed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R). But Patrick isn’t giving up. In his list of 2026 interim legislative charges released on Friday, he’s directing the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. Under a heading titled, “Addressing Societal Impacts of THC Product Consumption,” the lieutenant governor charged the panel to “study the impact of THC on increased health care costs, mental health emergency detentions, and the risk of being diagnosed with a THC-induced psychotic disorder.” The committee should “make recommendations to decrease health care and criminal justice costs,” the directive says.

The list of interim charges issued by the speaker on Thursday notes that the bill that Abbott signed into law relates to “the establishment of a consortium to conduct United States Food and Drug Administration’s drug development clinical trials with ibogaine to secure the administration’s approval of the medication’s use for treatment of opioid use disorder, co-occurring substance use disorder, and any other neurological or mental health conditions for which ibogaine demonstrates efficacy and to the administration of that treatment.” Today, I issued interim charges for House committees of the 89th Texas Legislature to guide our work ahead of the next legislative session in 2027.

Specifically, the agency approved language requiring hemp products to be tested for “total THC” content, including THCA, which means most cannabis flower would be considered non-compliant with limitations imposed under state law. Meanwhile this month, Texas voters approved a marijuana legalization question that appeared on the state’s Democratic primary ballot. As part of the primary election, each major party was able to place several non-binding propositions on the ballot that allow voters show how they feel on key issues. The Texas Democratic Party used one of its propositions to find out where the electorate stands on legalizing cannabis and whether past convictions should be expunged. For what it’s worth, a statewide poll released last month found that Texas voters don’t like how state leaders and lawmakers have handled marijuana and THC policy issues. In the survey, a plurality of voters (40 percent) said they disapprove of how their elected officials have approached the issue, according to the survey. Just 29 percent said they approve of how cannabis issues have been handled, while 31 percent said they didn’t have an opinion one way or another. A separate poll released last year found that a plurality of Texas voters want the state’s marijuana laws to be made “less strict.” And among the legislative items lawmakers considered during recent special sessions, voters say a proposal to address hemp regulations was among the least important. With respect to ibogaine under the bill the governor signed, Texas will retain a commercial interest in “all intellectual property that may be generated over the course of the drug development clinical trials,” the legislation says, with an aim of making the state a hub for “ibogaine-related biomedical research, development, treatment, manufacturing, and distribution.” A quarter of revenue taken in by the state from any resulting intellectual property would fund veterans programs. Along with the legislation’s goal of winning federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as a clinical treatment, the bill says it also seeks “a breakthrough therapy designation for ibogaine”—a designation FDA gives to emerging treatment options that haven’t yet secured agency approval to treat a particular condition.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tore into the current U.S. drug scheduling system on Thursday—making the case that placing substances like marijuana and LSD in the most restrictive category runs counter to evidence showing their medical potential, hinders research and is associated with criminal penalties that haven’t effectively prevented harms from substance misuse. In some cases, the congresswoman said during a hearing before the House Energy & Commerce Health Subcommittee, classifying drugs as Schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) can exacerbate the overdose crisis, leading to the introduction of new, sometimes more dangerous drugs into the illicit marketplace. The panel on Thursday took testimony on a variety of bills aimed at curbing overdose deaths and responding to emerging public health threats posed by illegal drugs such as xylazine and other opioid-like synthetics that are often more potent than the analogues that came before them. Ocasio-Cortez said it was time to “take a step back” and “really explore and examine the scheduling system in the United States as a whole and really how we think about this,” directing her questions to Nabarun Dasgupta, a senior scientist at the University of North Carolina who served as an expert witness for the hearing. Our current drug scheduling system in the U.S. does little to deter drug abuse or overdose rates, but instead hinders research and unfairly criminalizes communities. We need to invest in actual solutions like prevention, treatment, and recovery. pic.twitter.com/CNkfaN795W — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@RepAOC) March 26, 2026 “We’re often trying to slot in certain substances into our scheduling [and] end up playing a lot of whack-a-mole,” the congresswoman said. “Once you schedule one substance, people then start finding alternatives—and before you know it, people are then starting to overdose on entirely new substances that we didn’t even know existed a couple of years ago.” “In theory, Schedule I drugs are supposed to have no potential for medical use and high risk for abuse and addiction, correct?” she asked Dasgupta, who affirmed that was the case. “There are also specific penalties tied to each schedule. Once a drug gets scheduled, the penalties for possessing that drug can change overnight,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And so when we look back at the point of scheduling, in about 1970 or so, Congress created this system to try to deter the use of dangerous drugs by applying criminal penalties to the possession of those drugs and scheduling was also intended to ensure safety when these drugs are used in clinical or research settings.” “Now, since this system was established more than 50 years ago, we’ve seen how it’s fallen short. We’ve endured the war on drugs, and we’ve also had a lot of limitations in medical research,” she said before asking the expert to provide examples of drugs currently classified as Schedule I under the CSA. Dasgupta pointed to marijuana, LSD and MDMA, and Ocasio-Cortez followed up by asking for his opinion on whether those three substances meet the definition of having “zero potential medical application.” “I think the medical literature is clear that they do have clinical benefits,” Dasgupta said. The congresswoman had him repeat that point, clarifying that its his assessment that “right now our law says that these drugs have zero medical application, but the science says something else.” “That’s right,” he said. Ocasio-Cortez added that “the wealth of medical research shows that these are potential treatments for treatment-resistant PTSD, traumatic brain injuries—but the schedule classification really prevents researchers from continuing to do work on this, correct?” The scientist again answered in the affirmative. Opponents might counter that narrative by arguing that “people are overdosing on some of these substances, so we still need to schedule them,” the congresswoman said. “But has adding criminal penalties successfully reduced overdose deaths?” Dasgupta answered by pointing to an examples out of Florida, where the state placed xylazine in Schedule I of their own controlled drugs list but then saw overdose deaths from xylazine increase from about 3,700 per year to 6,400 per year. That goes to show that simply scheduling a drug is “not a panacea,” he said. Ocasio-Cortez went on to say that “increasing the scheduling is becoming medically prohibitive for treatments, but then also adding the criminal penalties has not only not reduced overdose, but in the state of Florida, it’s doubled them.” “But I think we’re all still here on the same purpose, right? We want to make sure that we’re protecting people and doing what we can,” she said, asking the witness whether he’s aware of “any methods…that can help us make progress on this.” Dasgupta said, “I mean, I think scheduling does have an important role. I think there just needs to be a lot more flexibility to keep the science in line with the regulatory process. That’s the bottom line.” Of the three Schedule I drugs that the scientist cited at the hearing, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already signaled that they each hold medical potential, with one LSD-like substance, MM120, and the main compound of ecstasy, MDMA, receiving breakthrough therapy status to promote research that could lead to drug development. For marijuana, its time in Schedule I may be coming to an end. After a years-long scientific review led by FDA, former Attorney General Merrick Garland ultimately signed a proposed rule to move cannabis to Schedule III of the CSA. That process wasn’t completed by the end of the Biden administration that initiated it, but President Donald Trump in December signed an executive order directing the current attorney general, Pam Bondi, to expeditiously finalize that rule. As Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) noted in a letter sent to Bondi on Friday, however, marijuana remains in Schedule I even three months after the president issued that directive. The congressman is therefore seeking an update from DOJ on the status of its rulemaking.

“The lawsuit is a tactic to distract from the fact that Indy Vapes and Abilene Vape and CBD made a business decision to ignore state law.” By Maya Smith, Kansas Reflector Three smoke and vape shops are suing the state of Kansas, accusing officials of Fourth Amendment violations in a series of October raids. The plaintiffs have filed suit against KBI director Tony Mattivi, Attorney General Kris Kobach (R), KBI agents, local law enforcement and county attorneys. They allege illegal search and seizure and defective warrants. The KBI and local law enforcement executed raids late last year on smoke and vape shops in Concordia, Independence, Abilene, McPherson, Pratt, Salina, Topeka and Wichita. The raids were planned in an effort to end lax enforcement of laws against marijuana and THC in Kansas, according to Kobach at a press conference held during the raids. The lawsuit claims officers seized hemp-derived products without distinctions in the warrants between legal and illegal hemp products under Kansas law. The smoke and vape shops say the warrants were defective for not acknowledging that types of hemp-derived products are legal within Kansas, with the warrant for Indy Vapes in Independence stating all derivatives of THC are contraband. The Kansas Controlled Substance Act says industrial hemp and hemp-derived products are legal and are not controlled substances if they have less than a 0.3 percent concentration of THC. The plaintiffs say they sell legal hemp products and purchase those products from established wholesalers. Kobach’s office did not respond to repeated requests for comment for this story. The shops said they lost thousands of dollars in inventory and that the seized inventory was likely destroyed. Mattivi said at a press conference held during the raids that seized products were sent to labs by the KBI for private testing. According to the lawsuit, officers told employees not to film them, covered windows from the inside and unplugged the store’s internet and in-store security cameras. “The lawsuit is a tactic to distract from the fact that Indy Vapes and Abilene Vape and CBD made a business decision to ignore state law, and now want to blame law enforcement for what they knew was a likely consequence,” according to a statement from the KBI. “We will defend our responsibility to enforce the laws of Kansas.” The KBI said warrants executed by agents gave them the authority to seize illegal products and contraband. The statement did not address agents interfering with recording. This story was first published by Kansas Reflector. Photo elements courtesy of rawpixel and Philip Steffan.

It’s now illegal to bring any recreational-use cannabis products into Ohio, even if they were legally purchased in another state. By Frank W. Lewis, Signal Cleveland This story was originally published by Signal Cleveland. Sign up for their free newsletters at SignalCleveland.org/subscribe. Intoxicating hemp products and THC-infused beverages are now illegal again in Ohio and the maximum potency of extracts is lower, due to a law that took effect on March 20. Ohio voters legalized recreational marijuana and related products when they passed Issue 2 in 2023. Republican lawmakers vowed almost immediately to roll back parts of it, and they made good on that late last year, passing the new restrictions mostly along party lines. Here are some of the changes, including new potential criminal penalties for not transporting personal stashes correctly, bringing THC products across state lines or toking in public. No more smoking or vaping in public places or businesses You can partake in a privately owned property unless it is also a childcare facility, halfway house or community residential center. Renters can still smoke in a house or apartment unless the lease prohibits it. What are the new rules for storing edibles and weed? Recreational and medical marijuana edibles and other products must be stored in original packaging, even after they are opened. What about driving with weed, edibles or extracts? If the original package has been opened, it must be kept in the trunk of your vehicle or behind the last row of seats if there’s no trunk. In other words, out of reach of the driver. The same rules apply for pipes, vapes and other marijuana paraphernalia. No more out-of-state marijuana runs or orders It’s now illegal to bring any recreational-use cannabis products into Ohio, even if they were legally purchased in another state. (Looking at you, Michigan.) Sellers of these products, including popular edibles and seltzers, can no longer ship these products to you in Ohio. Can I Door Dash or Uber Eats marijuana? Not right now. But the new law opens the door to possible home delivery of medical marijuana once the Division of Cannabis Control writes rules and standards. Is sharing marijuana with friends still legal? Yes, but with some changes. The handoff has to happen at a private residence or agricultural space. The amount shared in one day can’t be more than 2 ½ ounces of plant material (excluding seeds and plants) or 15 grams of extract. You still cannot take money for kindly sharing your bud. Did they mess with potency? Yes. The THC level for extracts is now capped at 70 percent (down from 90 percent). The limit for medical and recreational-use plants remains at 35 percent. Can I be fired for using recreational cannabis products? Yes, if it violates your employer’s policies. That was true under Issue 2, the law passed by voters in 2023. But under the new law, workers fired for violating a drug policy are not eligible for unemployment benefits from the state. I can still grow marijuana at home, right? Home growing is still an option and the limit is still six plants per adult 21 and over or a total of 12 in one residence. However, growing even one plant over that limit can lead to charges of illegally cultivating marijuana, which can carry a criminal penalty. No more gummy bears or fruit snack-shaped edibles The new law outlaws the sale of marijuana products that share a likeness with fictional characters, real ones, animals, fruit or images that might attract children. Changes to who gets the tax revenue from marijuana sales The new law does away with a social equity and jobs fund created by Issue 2 and money for substance abuse and addiction education and treatment programs. Cities with dispensaries still get 36 percent of the tax revenue and the rest goes into state’s general fund. The sales of recreational marijuana products in Ohio last year topped $836 million.
