About one in three Americans say their holiday “pregame” routine involves using marijuana, according to a new survey. The poll from the Freeman Recovery Center looked at a variety of ways the use of alcohol and other drugs intersects with with the holiday season, when family get-togethers and financial stress from gift giving tend to come to a head. As it turns out, a sizable portion of Americans are using cannabis to decompress. “Because holiday celebrations are so ingrained in American culture, it can be challenging to pinpoint what exactly exacerbates substance use behaviors around this time of year. However, we wanted to figure out why,” the center said. The survey of over 1,000 respondents “revealed that for many, substances like alcohol weren’t just part of holiday parties, but a way to endure the season,” it said. About half of Americans said they “pre-game” before holiday family gatherings. Alcohol is the most common choice at 51 percent, but cannabis now comes in second at 31 percent—including 43 percent of Gen Z and millennials. Another 12 percent said they used psychedelics before family events. For people with a substance use history, that increased: 68 percent used alcohol, 50 percent consumed cannabis and 26 percent opted for psychedelics. “Despite financial stress being a common experience during the holidays, not every generation turned to substances. For example, 42 percent of Gen X and 68 percent of baby boomers said they had not used substances to cope with holiday financial pressure,” the center said. “On the other hand, millennials reported the most self-medication when faced with financial stress, with 54 percent using alcohol and 45 percent using cannabis.” The data on cannabis usage during the holidays isn’t especially surprising, as more than half of American adults report having use cannabis, according to a 2023 Pew poll from this summer, and 23 percent said they consumed marijuana in the prior year. When it comes to holidays specifically, mainstream media outlets this past November picked up on a trend that’s long been practiced within the cannabis community: the “cousin walk,” a Thanksgiving pre-game (and usually pre-dinner) tradition for some where the typically younger adults at a gathering will sneak away for a cannabis break before the feast begins.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is advising that all safety-sensitive workers must still comply with federal drug testing requirements, even as the president directs the attorney general to complete a cannabis rescheduling process. However, the department didn’t quite specify what would change if marijuana is ultimately moved from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) After President Donald Trump signed an executive order on cannabis rescheduling last week, DOT issued a notice saying it’s received “inquiries” about the impact of the potential reform on the department’s “longstanding regulation about the use of marijuana by safety‐sensitive transportation employees.” That includes “pilots, school bus drivers, truck drivers, train engineers, subway operators, aircraft maintenance personnel, transit fire‐armed security personnel, ship captains, and pipeline emergency response personnel, among others.” DOT clarified that, until Attorney General Pam Bondi finalizes the rescheduling action, marijuana remains a Schedule I drug. Therefore, it “remains unacceptable for any safety‐sensitive employee subject to drug testing under the Department of Transportation’s drug testing regulations to use marijuana.” Additionally, “Until the rescheduling process is complete, the Department of Transportation’s drug testing process and regulations will not change,” the notice says. “Transportation employees in safety-sensitive positions will still be subject to testing for marijuana,” DOT said. “Furthermore, the Department’s guidance on medical and recreational marijuana and CBD are still in effect.” Laboratories, medical review officers and substance misuse professionals must still comply with existing drug testing rules, so there are “no changes to your roles and responsibilities as they relate to marijuana.” “We will continue to monitor the rescheduling process and update the transportation industry as appropriate,” the department said. “We want to assure the traveling public that our transportation system is the safest it can possibly be.” While it seemed as if DOT was leaving room open for a possible internal policy change if marijuana rescheduling is ultimately finalized, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieig said last year that placing cannabis in Schedule III wouldn’t affect drug testing policies for commercial truckers, noting that the department specifically lists marijuana as substance to screen. “Our understanding of the rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to schedule III is that it would not alter DOT’s marijuana testing requirements with respect to the regulated community,” the former Biden administration official said. “For private individuals who are performing safety-sensitive functions subject to drug testing, marijuana is identified by name, not by reference to one of those classes. So even if it moves in its classification, we do not believe that that would have a direct impact on that authority.” The reason rescheduling on its own wouldn’t change DOT policy is based on an interpretation of the 1991 Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act, which grants the transportation secretary with discretion to test for any controlled substances that they’ve “determined has a risk to transportation safety.” Buttigieg was responding to a question from Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR) during a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing. The congressman had referenced concerns from the American Trucking Associations (ATA) “about the broad public health and safety consequences of reclassification on the national highway system and its users.” The latest notice comes about three months after DOT proposed a separate rule to update its drug testing guidelines, revising terminology around cannabis in a way that provides more specificity related to THC. 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.” 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.

New Jersey lawmakers have approved a bill to legalize therapeutic access to psilocybin for adults with qualifying health conditions. Weeks after the Assembly Health Committee advanced the legislation—sponsored by Assemblymembers Herb Conaway (D), Clinton Calabrese (D) and Anthony Verrelli (D)—the Assembly Appropriations Committee signed off on it on Thursday. The Health panel last year amended the legislation in a way that aligns in with a Senate version. To advocates’ disappointment, however, that meant removing provisions that would have more broadly legalized psilocybin for adult use. Initially, the legislation was introduced in identical form to what lawmakers proposed in the 2024 session—a plan that included personal legalization provisions, which the recent amended versions takes out. Those components would have made it legal for adults to “possess, store, use, ingest, inhale, process, transport, deliver without consideration, or distribute without consideration, four grams or less of psilocybin.” The amended measures would nevertheless significantly expand on legislation introduced in late 2020 to reduce penalties for possession of up to one ounce of psilocybin. That reform that was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy (D) in 2021. Assemblywoman Lisa Swain (D), who chairs the Appropriations Committee, described the bill on Thursday as a “first step.” “I mean, you’ve heard the testimony here,” she said, referring to witnesses who argued that broader reform is needed. “This bill creates an advisory board that will be able to make determinations—for instance, whether it should be natural mushrooms or synthetic mushrooms. So that option is still on the table. It’s a pilot program and we want to get started to make sure that, as you heard, people who really need to be treated” can get access. In its amended version, the bill would charge the Department of Health (DOH) with licensing and regulating the manufacture, testing, transport, delivery, sale and purchase of psilocybin. There would be five license types: manufacturer, service center operator, testing laboratory, facilitator and psilocybin worker. A Psilocybin Advisory Board would establish qualifying medical conditions for use, propose guidelines for psilocybin services and dosage, craft safety screenings and informed consent practices and oversee facilitator education, training and conduct. Its stated goal would be to develop a long-term strategic plan for safe, accessible and affordable access to psilocybin for all people 21 and older. Toward that goal, a social equity program would be tasked with establishing financial assistance to help low-income people cover costs of psilocybin services. DOH would also be directed to establish programs for technical assistance, reduced fees and other support services. In order to access the psilocybin services under the bill, a patient with a qualifying condition would need to obtain a referral from a licensed health care professional. Services would also include mandatory preparation and integration sessions before and after the administration of psilocybin. The Senate companion version of the bill has already cleared two panels in that chamber—the Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee and the Budget and Appropriations Committee. A survey of New Jersey residents released last year indicates that a majority of state residents agree with making psilocybin available for therapeutic use, though they weren’t asked specifically about the specific legislation. The poll, from Stockton University’s William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy, found that 55 percent of respondents supported legalizing psilocybin for medical use under a doctor’s supervision. Just 20 percent of respondents were opposed, while 24 percent said they weren’t sure. One percent of respondents refused to answer the question. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) to serve as the state’s next governor, and there’s now a decidedly clearer path to advancing a marijuana reform long awaited by consumers and advocates in the Garden State: A home grow option. Meanwhile, as New Jersey’s first marijuana consumption lounges opened up over the summer, regulators shared information about where to find the sites and offering tips about how to responsibly use cannabis at the licensed businesses—including classic stoner cultural customs like “puff, puff, pass.” New Jersey officials have also completed the curriculum of a no-cost marijuana training academy that’s meant to support entrepreneurs interested in entering the cannabis industry. Separately, in May New Jersey Senate President Nick Scutari (D) filed a bill that would re-criminalize purchasing marijuana from unlicensed sources—one of the latest attempts to crack down on the illicit market and steer adults toward licensed retailers. In March, a former New Jersey Senate leader unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination this year said “it is time” to give medical marijuana patients an option to grow their own cannabis plants for personal use. He also pledged to expand clemency for people impacted by marijuana criminalization if elected, and he expressed support for the establishment of cannabis consumption lounges. The comments from Sweeney, who was the longest-serving Senate president in the state’s history, on home grow depart from what the current governor has said on multiple occasions, arguing that the state’s adult-use marijuana market needs to further mature before home grow is authorized. Seemingly contradicting that claim, dozens of New Jersey small marijuana businesses and advocacy groups recently called on the legislature to allow adults to cultivate their own cannabis.

Massachusetts officials have announced that the campaign behind an initiative to roll back the state’s marijuana legalization law collected enough valid signatures to send the measure to lawmakers for consideration before it potentially gets put in front of voters to decide next on year’s ballot. As of Thursday, the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Elections Division said it certified 78,301 signatures for the petition, titled “An Act to Restore a Sensible Marijuana Policy.” The initiative would still let adults 21 and older possess and gift up to an ounce of cannabis, but it would repeal provisions of the voter-approved legalization law allowing for commercial sales and home cultivation by adults. “I am pleased to inform you that 78,301 certified signatures of the 79,420 received by this office on or before December 3, 2025, have been allowed,” Michelle Tassinari, first deputy secretary of the Elections Division, said in a notice to the Coalition for a Healthy Massachusetts. “Therefore, the initiative petition will be transmitted to the Clerk of the House of Representatives, as required by the Constitution.” The campaign had already expressed confidence that it secured enough signatures to advance. Lawmakers will receive the proposal at the start of the 2026 session on January 7, and they have until May 5 to act on it. If the choose not to enact it legislatively, the campaign would need to go through another round of petitioning and get at least 12,429 certified signatures by July 1 to make the November ballot. There’s been controversy surrounding the prohibitionist coalition’s signature collection tactics, with allegations that petitioners working on behalf of the campaign shared misleading information about what the measure would accomplish—with claims that paid petitioners have used fake cover letters for other ballot measures on issues like affordable housing and same-day voter registration. The state attorney general’s office has confirmed it’s received complaints to that end. And an association of state marijuana businesses last month urged voters to report to local officials if they observe any instances of “fraudulent message” or other deceitful petitioning tactics. The campaign has denied the allegations. Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s (D) office—which cleared the campaign for signature gathering in September–has stressed to voters the importance of reading their summary, which is required to go at the top of the signature form, before signing any petitions. Meanwhile, the head of Massachusetts’s marijuana regulatory agency recently suggested that the measure to effectively recriminalize recreational cannabis sales could imperil tax revenue that’s being used to support substance misuse treatment efforts and other public programs. Whether the cannabis measures make the cut is yet to be seen. Voters approved legalization at the ballot in 2016, with sales launching two years later. And the past decade has seen the market evolve and expand. As of August, Massachusetts officials reported more than $8 billion in adult-use marijuana sales. Last month, the Massachusetts Senate approved a bill that would double the legal marijuana possession limit for adults and revise the regulatory framework for the state’s adult-use cannabis market. Similar legislation also advanced through the House earlier this year. This month, state regulators finalized rules for marijuana social consumption loungues. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

State lawmakers have also been considering setting tighter restrictions on intoxicating hemp-derived products and a plan to allow individual entities to control a larger number of cannabis establishments. Also in Massachusetts, legislators who were working on a state budget butted heads with CCC officials, who’ve said they can’t make critical technology improvements without more money from the legislature. Massachusetts lawmakers additionally approved a bill to establish a pilot program for the regulated therapeutic use of psychedelics. And two committees have separately held hearings to discuss additional psilocybin-related measures.

President Donald Trump’s marijuana rescheduling executive order represents progress, bipartisan lawmakers say. But with that policy change now moving forward, some key House and Senate members are previewing their priorities for future reform—from giving cannabis businesses access to the banking system to legalizing marijuana altogether. The order Trump signed on Thursday directs the attorney general to complete a process to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which would not make it legal but would let cannabis businesses take federal tax deductions and lift certain research barriers. The action received uniquely bipartisan praise, a rarity in the current political climate. But Democrats, as well as select GOP lawmakers, are making clear that rescheduling marijuana isn’t the end game, with a range of bills on the table to build upon the incremental reform that they want to push through. That includes the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking act to protect banks that service state-licensed cannabis businesses and the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA) to end federal prohibition and address the harms of the drug war. Here’s what lawmakers are saying about the rescheduling action and goals for additional reform: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) “Though a step in the right direction, more must be done to decriminalize cannabis, ease overly restrictive banking regulations that stall industry progress in states where it is legal, and rectify the harms done by the War on Drugs,” Schumer said. “I remain committed to the SAFER Banking Act and the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act to accomplish these goals.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Jeffries said he’s “supported marijuana reform throughout my entirety in public service, both in the New York State legislature and as a member of Congress—and have worked with the administration in the past to get criminal justice reform over the finish line connected to the First Step Act,” which deals with sentencing policy. “We welcome any opportunity moving forward to continue that work to right size our criminal justice system to move away from the failed war on drugs,” the minority leader said, “which includes a failed war on marijuana and to deal with the mass incarceration epidemic that this country has suffered from that is both unfair and undermines our economic productivity.” Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH), co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus “President Trump’s executive order to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III is a meaningful step forward,” and it’s “reflective of the growing body of scientific evidence and medical research,” Joyce said. “For too long, Schedule I status has blocked research, distorted markets, and denied patients, especially veterans and seniors, access to treatments that could improve their quality of life.” “Rescheduling opens the door to responsible regulation, evidence-based medicine, and a safer, more transparent cannabis market. It will help close the gap in information needed to support informed doctor–patient choice,” he said. Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus “President Trump can change the stigma around marijuana that fails to reflect its proven benefits, especially for veterans. By rescheduling, he will expand patient access and advance the America First agenda at a pivotal moment,” Mast said. “From its ability to ease chronic pain to its critical help for veterans healing from both visible and invisible wounds, I applaud President Trump’s decision to reschedule marijuana and improve the quality of life for so many.” Thank you @POTUS for making the critical decision to reschedule marijuana and give veterans better access to heal both visible and invisible wounds. This will improve the life for so many and help stop the dependence on opioids. — Rep. Brian Mast (@RepBrianMast) December 18, 2025 Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) Merkley, who has sponsored the SAFER Banking Act in past sessions, said the rescheduling action is a “step in the right direction, allowing medical research and legal cannabis businesses to be appropriately taxed on their net profits.” “But this change from Schedule I to Schedule III still leaves these cannabis businesses in violation of criminal law because the production and use of cannabis for non-medical purposes remain a federal crime,” he said. “As such, these legal businesses are still prevented from accessing the banking system.” “That remains a huge problem, encouraging all sorts of criminal activities, including robberies of cannabis businesses operating in all cash, false accounting, money laundering, and organized crime. That’s why we still need to pass the bipartisan SAFER Banking Act, which during his campaign, President Trump urged Congress to send to his desk.” Ahead of the rescheduling announcement, the senator separately told Marijuana Moment that cannabis banking legislation was “on the back burner,” with Democrats focused on other priorities such as preserving health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. “I will continue to push for fully descheduled cannabis—which is essential to addressing the harms perpetuated by the War on Drugs and the criminalization of cannabis on communities of color—and work with both Republicans and Democrats to advance common-sense cannabis reforms for banking services and medical treatment,” Merkley said. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) Wyden said rescheduling is “just a half step that doesn’t include legalization, doesn’t put the nascent industry on stronger footing, and doesn’t do anything for the many Black and Latino Americans who are behind bars for the kind of cannabis use that millions of Americans engage in freely every day.” “I’ll continue pushing to pass my Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act into law, which would legalize cannabis at the federal level and right the wrongs of the failed War on Drugs,” he said. Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) “Today, President Trump signed an executive order to reschedule marijuana, enabling researchers to study its medical benefits more effectively,” McBath said. “This order should serve as a critical first step toward meaningful criminal justice reform for marijuana-related offenses, as envisioned in the Clean Slate Act, which I lead.” “While the order will benefit the legal cannabis industry and medical research, reform cannot stop here. This order does not change the criminal penalties or considerations for marijuana-related offenses. Tens of thousands of individuals remain incarcerated for these offenses, and we cannot, in good faith, advance an industry while denying impacted individuals a clear path home to their families, an opportunity to return to their lives, and a chance to contribute in their communities. I stand ready to put people over profits and advance comprehensive criminal justice reform.” Photo courtesy of Mike Latimer.

“Store owners have had varying amounts of legal products seized with no recourse to recover the products or the potential profits from those products.” By Tim Carpenter, Kansas Reflector A McPherson County lawsuit filed by a Kansas business owner challenges “unconstitutionally vague” enforcement operations leading to seizure of cash and hemp-derived products at direction of the state’s attorney general and director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. KBI director Tony Mattivi and Attorney General Kris Kobach said in October law enforcement officers raided CBD and vape shops to serve more than a dozen search warrants on businesses suspected of not complying with state drug law. In a statement, Mattivi said targeted stores were “nothing but weed dealers” and the state must “enforce our controlled-substance laws when we have these substances causing bad effects on Kansas kids.” Barry Grissom and Jake Miller, of a law firm based in Kansas City, Missouri, responded Monday by seeking on behalf of Mike Ballinger, owner of the McPherson CBD store Hanging Leaf, a court injunction to stop comparable raids and to compel return of seized property. “The pleadings speak for themselves,” said Grissom, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Kansas and advocate for legalizing marijuana sales and consumption in Kansas. Both Mattivi and Kobach, in their official capacity, were named in the filing requesting injunctive relief from “recent enforcement actions involving hemp products legally permitted under Kansas law.” On October 1, Mattivi and Kobach disclosed their statewide “marijuana enforcement operation” focused on vape shops and CBD dispensaries. This law enforcement effort resulted in execution of at least 15 search warrants across Kansas. The lawsuit said authorities seized $7,000 in inventory as well as cash from Hanging Leaf. A portion of cash taken into custody at Hanging Leaf was property of an unrelated business operated by the plaintiff, the suit said. Attorneys for the plaintiff said Kansas law permitted hemp products with no more than 0.3 percent Delta-9 THC or tetrahydrocannabinol. The plaintiff alleged KBI testing with gas chromatography was capable of detecting “only the presence of THC and cannot determine the origin” of the substance. The suit says the KBI testing regimen improperly resulted in seizure of compliant goods. In addition, the plaintiff asserted unconstitutional vagueness of Kansas law fostered “arbitrary enforcement that chills protected business activities.” The filing requested raids to be forbidden until the state adopted legal protection for products under 0.3 percent hemp derived from Delta-9 THC. “Because of the overly broad and wide-ranging nature of the search warrants issued as part of the operation, and of Kansas law itself, store owners have had varying amounts of legal products seized with no recourse to recover the products or the potential profits from those products,” the lawsuit said.

“Nowhere in the authorizing legislation does it provide for a Responsible Consumable Hemp Product Program.” By Anna Barrett, Alabama Reflector The Alabama Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Board Thursday approved an emergency, temporary rule regulating the sale of consumable hemp products, over the opposition of a state representative who sponsored the law leading to the regulation. The rule creates the Responsible Consumable Hemp Product Program and establishes warnings and fees for violations of the rule. David Peacock, chief general counsel for the ABC Board, told board members that on first violation of the rule, retailers would receive a warning, and distributors would be fined $1,000 on first offense for selling a product that is not approved by the board. “If the distributor were to purchase a product from a supplier that was violative a second time, they would no longer be able to use that supplier unless they provide to us a corrective action plan that we approve,” Peacock said. Peacock did not say what products would be prohibited or allowed, but that there would be a list of products published on the ABC Board’s website. Peacock said the rule is needed in accordance with HB 445, sponsored by Rep. Andy Whitt, R-Harvest, which passed the Legislature this spring. The law, which goes into effect on January 1, requires testing and labeling for all consumable hemp products and caps THC at 10 milligrams per individually wrapped product and 40 milligrams per package. It also requires the ABC Board to license retailers of these products; restrict retail establishments selling hemp products and impose an excise tax on consumable hemp products. In October, the ABC Board passed a rule to implement the law. The emergency rule passed 2-1 with board member John Knight, a former state representative, voting against it. “I’m opposed to it only because I have a problem with the way it was done,” Knight said. Whitt, who did not attend Thursday’s meeting, sent the board a letter Wednesday expressing his opposition to the emergency rule. “In addition to my concerns about the non-compliance with statutory guidelines about emergency rules, there are other areas of the proposal that bother me,” the letter said. “Nowhere in the authorizing legislation does it provide for a Responsible Consumable Hemp Product Program, such as that legislatively authorized by Alabama Code Section 28-10-4 in connection with alcoholic beverages. Therefore, it seems that this proposed regulation goes beyond statutory authority.” Whitt said in an interview Thursday afternoon that he had a great relationship with the board but reiterated his opposition to the rule. “I think when it comes down to the emergency rulings, it serves a different purpose than maybe what’s transparent to begin with, maybe a self-serving group,” he said. “I want to make sure that it doesn’t and that the legislative process works.” Curtis Stewart, the board’s administrator, explained that the rule’s intention is to protect retailers. “I think it’s important to remember that this rule doesn’t punish, doesn’t make anything harder for anyone. In fact, it gives the innocent, if you will, retailer, an avenue to say, ‘Look, I tried to do all I could to provide quality products,’” Stewart said. Donna Alexander, executive director of the Alabama Wholesale Beer Association, expressed opposition to the rule at the meeting. “This emergency rule does not follow the law the Legislature passed that Rep. Andy Whitt sponsored,” Alexander said in an interview after the meeting. Whitt wrote in his letter that the rule had less severe consequences than the original bill. “Penalties imposed by the proposed Emergency Rule for violations are not congruent with those found in the statute I sponsored but begin at a lesser level. Again, this is a serious concern,” Whitt wrote. The rule will expire on April 16. The process of approving a permanent version of the rule passed the board unanimously. The permanent version will be up for public comment and changes before final vote and implementation. Melissa Morrissette, a board member, said the emergency rule was needed to protect retailers and consumers until the process of a permanent rule could play out. “Starting January 1st, you have this window of time that it’s like the Wild West,” Morrissette said. Whitt said he does not foresee any repeal legislation during the 2026 legislative session, which begins on January 13. This story was first published by Alabama Reflector.
