Massachusetts election officials have scheduled a hearing to investigate a complaint challenging the signature gathering process for a proposed ballot initiative to roll back the state’s marijuana law. This comes about two weeks after the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Elections Division confirmed that the anti-cannabis campaign collected enough valid signatures to send the measure to lawmakers for consideration ahead of potentially being placed on the November ballot. Opponents of the initiative submitted a complaint to the secretary’s office last week, arguing that the campaign “obtained signatures fraudulently.” The State Ballot Law Commission has now put a pre-hearing conference on the calendar for January 12, and a formal hearing will take place on January 13. “Paid signature gatherers at Trader Joe’s in Hanover, Market Basket facilities in Plymouth, Whole Foods in Weymouth and in parking lots around Gillette Stadium in Foxborough have misled voters with respect to what they were signing and thus obtained signatures fraudulently,” the filing states. “Among the misleading statements were assertions that the law proposed on the petition blanks they were signing would get fentanyl off the streets, provide affordable housing in their communities or fund public parks,” the filing, which was first reported by State House News Service, says. “Each of these assertions would be apt with respect to one or more of the other initiative petitions approved by the Attorney General, but have nothing to do with Initiative Petition 1E.” “The paid signature gatherers in question often provided voters only the backside of Petition 1E to those whose signatures they obtained. The backside does not bear the summary of the proposed law. All those circulating the signatures for payment were assigned numbers that would enable them to be identified and collected signatures from multiple cities and towns.” “All signatures collected in the manner described above, whether by the particular individuals who gathered signatures at the locations described above or by other circulators are the subject of this objection,” the complaint, filed by attorney Thomas Kiley, concludes. Wendy Wakeman, the chair committee backing the anti-cannabis proposal, told State House News Service that petitions were “collected with integrity.” “We stand by the number,” she said. Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin (D) said that the complaints are “based on the people who now are in retail cannabis businesses.” “They’ve got to come up with enough signatures knocked off to disqualify the petition. It has to be based on evidence, it can’t be assertions. So it’s going to be a challenge,” he said. “You’re talking tens of thousands of signatures, to come up with enough that are going to be disqualified in a short period of time, because the Ballot Law Commission is time limited, 10 days, I think. So good luck. I hope they have a nice time.” The state last month 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. The medical cannabis program would remain intact under the measure. As detailed in the recent complaint, the campaign has been marred with controversy over allegedly misleading signature gathering tactics. There have been claims that paid petitioners 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 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. The Massachusetts legislature received the initiative for consideration on Wednesday when the 2026 session kicked off. Unless it’s invalidated, lawmakers have until May 5 to act on the proposal. If they 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. 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. Meanwhile, Massachusetts lawmakers recently assembled a bicameral conference committee to reach a deal on 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. Last month, state regulators also 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. Photo courtesy of Chris Wallis // Side Pocket Images.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound in marijuana, “holds substantial promise as an anti-tumor agent” in addition to its other anti-inflammatory properties, a new scientific review Scientists explored CBD’s effect on many types of cancer—including some of the most aggressive ones, such as glioblastoma, which affects the brain. They also noted it can help suppressing the growth and metastasis of other cancers, including breast, lung, colorectal, ovarian and prostate, among others. “CBD exhibits multi-targeted anti-tumor effects by disrupting key cancer hallmarks,” they found. The paper, funded by National Natural Science Fund of China, was designed as a systematic review of previous studies evaluating the cancer fighting qualities of CBD. The idea behind much of the research is to study how cancer cells survive by hijacking normal biological signals like growth cues, stress responses and immune pathways. The novelty scientists found was that CBD doesn’t seem to target just one of these systems and instead nudges several of them at once, pushing cancer cells toward collapse through overlapping and complementary effects. In colon cancer models, for example, CBD interferes with a receptor called GPR55, which helps tumors grow and migrate. Blocking that receptor weakens a pathway cancer cells rely on to divide quickly, and in some cases makes tumors more responsive to chemotherapy. Other experiments show CBD dialing down genes linked to aggressive growth while switching on stress-related pathways that slow things down. Lung and breast cancers appear to respond in related but slightly different ways. In non-small cell lung cancer, combinations of CBD and THC reduce tumor growth by interfering with epithelial-mesenchymal transition, the process that allows cancer cells to spread. In breast cancer models, CBD has been shown to stop cells mid-cycle, trigger programmed cell death and activate autophagy, the cell’s internal recycling system turned destructive. “Cannabidiol (CBD), an FDA-approved and well-tolerated compound, demonstrates promising antitumor effects by inhibiting cancer growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis, while also alleviating cancer-related symptoms such as pain and nausea.” There are also practical challenges, however. CBD is poorly absorbed when taken by mouth and is heavily metabolized, which means only a fraction may reach tumor tissue. To get around this, scientists are exploring nanoparticle-based delivery systems designed to improve absorption, target tumors more precisely and minimize side effects. Looking ahead, researchers say progress will depend on careful, methodical work. Tools like single-cell sequencing could help clarify how different tumor populations respond to CBD. Well-designed clinical trials will be essential to determine whether the effects seen in the lab translate into benefits for patients, especially when CBD is used alongside standard treatments. The study’s authors, who are affiliated with medical schools throughout China, noted the need to further explore the promise of CBD’s anti-tumor properties. “Future trials must stratify patients by tumor type and molecular markers to establish correlations between dosing, timing, and efficacy,” they wrote. The paper, which was not peer reviewed, was published in the December 2025 issue of the scientific journal Phytomedicine. The new study follows a series of encouraging discoveries related to CBD’s properties. In 2025, for example, a paper published in the journal Pharmacology & Therapeutics, assessed a range of clinical and preclinical findings that the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs can be enhanced by medical marijuana. In a sign of greater acceptance of medical applications of cannabis, President Donald Trump’s choice to serve as the next White House drug czar has called medical marijuana a “fantastic” treatment option for seriously ill patients and said she doesn’t object to legalization, even if she might not personally agree with the policy. Also last year, a study found that “patients with cancer using cannabis report significant improvements in cancer-related symptoms.” The post CBD Has ‘Substantial Promise’ To Combat Tumors From Cancer, Scientific Review Shows appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

Retailers sold more than $836 million in recreational cannabis products last year, while medical marijuana sales exceeded $233 million. By Megan Henry, Ohio Capital Journal Ohio’s recreational marijuana sales surpassed more than $836 million in 2025, the first full year recreational sales were legal. Recreational sales started in August 2024 and the state’s total recreational marijuana sales were $1,091,250,807, as of January 3, according to the Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Cannabis Control. Ohioans voted to legalize marijuana in 2023 and recreational sales totaled more than $242 million in 2024. Ohio’s medical marijuana sales started January 14, 2019, and the state’s total medical marijuana sales were $2,293,970,758, as of January 3, according to the Division of Cannabis Control. Medical marijuana sales brought in more than $233 million in 2025. Ohio’s average marijuana prices are a bit lower now than they were compared to last year at this time. The manufactured sales average was $23.83 for the week ending in Jan. 3 compared to $26.66 for the week ending of January 4, 2025, according to the Division of Cannabis Control. There are 190 dual-use marijuana dispensaries in Ohio, meaning they can sell medical and non-medical marijuana, according to the Division of Cannabis Control. More than 130 Ohio municipalities and townships have moratoriums in place banning the sale of adult-use cannabis as of December 2, according to Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law. Senate Bill 56 Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed a bill into law last month that made various changes to the state’s voter-passed marijuana law, including adding crimes such as making it illegal to bring legally purchased marijuana from another state back to Ohio. DeWine signed Ohio Senate Bill 56, which is set to take effect in March. The bill also bans intoxicating hemp products. On the marijuana side, it will reduce the THC levels in adult-use marijuana extracts from a maximum of 90 percent down to a maximum of 70 percent, cap THC levels in adult-use flower to 35 percent, and prohibit smoking in most public places. The bill gets rid of protections against discrimination for housing, employment, and organ donation. It also allows police to have probable cause during traffic stops if someone is a known user of marijuana. The bill prohibits possessing marijuana in anything outside of its original packaging and criminalizes bringing legal marijuana from another state back to Ohio. It also requires drivers to store marijuana in the trunk of their car while driving. Ohioans for Cannabis Choice recently launched a referendum effort in an attempt to stop the law from taking effect. The initial signatures were submitted so now Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) must verify the signatures and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) will also have to certify the petition summary is fair and truthful. If the petition passes those hurdles, organizers can begin canvassing to collect signatures. They’ll need 6 percent of the total number of votes cast in the most recent gubernatorial election (248,092). The group will also need 3 percent of an individual county’s gubernatorial turnout in 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Organizers will have 90 days from the date the governor filed the law with the secretary to collect the required signatures. The last referendum that passed in Ohio was when voters overturned an anti-collective bargaining law in 2011. This story was first published by Ohio Capital Journal.

If federal officials follow through on President Donald Trump’s recent executive order directing the reclassification of marijuana, it could free up Washington, D.C. to finally legalize recreational cannabis sales after a years-long congressional blockade. Moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) would not federally legalize marijuana, but it would have significant policy implications. While much of the industry and public attention has focused on how the reform would affect tax and research issues, the move could have an outsized impact on local policy in the nation’s capital. According to congressional analysts and other experts, a Schedule III reclassification would mean that D.C.—which for over a decade has been barred from using its appropriated funds to allow marijuana sales, despite voter approval of of a noncommercial legalization initiative and local elected officials’ support for adding retail sales—could finally create a regulated adult-use market. In a report published in 2024, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) said that while federal cannabis prohibition would still be the law of the land, it “would permit the District government, as a matter of local law, to authorize the commercial sale of recreational marijuana, establish market regulations, and levy marijuana taxes, among other policy options.” The reason that D.C. is restricted from enacting that regulatory reform—even as nearly half of the states in the U.S. have established adult-use cannabis markets—is because of a congressional spending bill rider championed by prohibitionist Rep. Andy Harris (D-MD) that deprives the District of the ability to expend its appropriated dollars to set up such a system. The rider specifically states that D.C. can’t use its own local funds to “legalize or otherwise reduce penalties associated with the possession, use, or distribution of any schedule I substance.” Moving marijuana to Schedule III would mean that part of the rider would no longer be applicable to cannabis. There is a complication, however, because the congressional provision that’s been annually renewed since 2014 also stipulates that the District of Columbia can’t use funds to legalize or reduce penalties for “any tetrahydrocannabinols derivative.” But that term isn’t clearly defined in the rider or anywhere else in federal law. “The continued prohibition on legalization of tetrahydrocannabinols derivatives by the District could lead to interpretive questions about whether a particular substance is legally marijuana, hemp, a tetrahydrocannabinols derivative, or something else,” the 2024 CRS report says. “Certain synthetic tetrahydrocannabinols remain illegal for recreational use under D.C. law, but it is not clear whether these synthetic substances would constitute derivatives,” it says. “In addition, although federal law defines marijuana and hemp to be exclusive of each other, a substance could conceivably be both a tetrahydrocannabinols derivative and marijuana or hemp as a matter of law.” One of the nation’s top cannabis advocacy groups, NORML, also posted an analysis in 2024 arguing that rescheduling could “open a door” for D.C. to finally legalize adult-use marijuana sales. The group suggested that the term tetrahydrocannabinols derivative “is unlikely to be interpreted by a court as inclusive of marijuana generally.” In 2021, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) separately responded to a congressional inquiry and affirmed that, even with the D.C. marijuana sales ban in place, local lawmakers there can still take steps to prepare for the potential creational of a regulated recreational marijuana market. Medical cannabis sales are already legal in D.C. Last March, the White House claimed that marijuana reform in Washington, D.C. is an example of a “failed” policy that “opened the door to disorder.” The Trump administration last year asked a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit from a D.C. hemp business challenging the federal government over the congressional budget restriction preventing cannabis sales. About three months after Capitol Hemp filed the suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department in September submitted a motion requesting dismissal of the case, largely on procedural grounds. The court agreed the next month. The post Trump’s Marijuana Rescheduling Order Could Let Washington, D.C. Finally Legalize Recreational Sales appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

Alright, so Instagram's still harshing the mellow of cannabis businesses, huh? Seems pretty unfair when so many places have legalized it. Makes you wonder about their consistency, doesn't it? Crazy how policies lag behind reality. We absolutely need this petition; it will force Instagram to re-evaluate its policies, let's become drift hunters and help make that happen. I remember when my friend's small CBD business got shut down on Facebook for seemingly no reason a few years back. It was a total headache and felt like they were being unfairly targeted.

It's amazing to see members like Erica getting recognized for their dedication since 2018! Attending 37 events is no small feat. Her work connecting people in Oregon sounds inspiring, and running for the School Board shows real commitment to the community. Sometimes when the stress of local politics gets too high, you just need a fun game like kick the buddy to blow off some steam! Wishing her the best of luck in the upcoming election!

It's fascinating to see how social issues like abortion and cannabis can spark such intense discussions. They both highlight the complexities of personal choice and the role of government in our lives. Just like exploring new perspectives, recreational activities can also provide a sense of freedom.

A Democratic congresswoman is imploring President Donald Trump’s newly Senate-confirmed White House drug czar to follow the science and proactively support fully legalizing marijuana—going beyond the incremental cannabis rescheduling order the president recently signed. Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV), co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, shared a link on Tuesday to a Marijuana Moment article about the Senate confirmation vote for Sara Carter Bailey to serve as the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). Titus said Carter “must commit to common-sense, evidence-based cannabis policy.” “That includes supporting marijuana de-scheduling and fully implementing my Evidence-Based Drug Policy Act so that federal decisions are guided by science, not stigma,” she said. Titus and fellow Cannabis Caucus co-chair Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) announced the filing of the Evidence-Based Drug Policy Act back in April, aiming to remove a statutory restriction barring the drug czar from advocating for the legalization of marijuana or other Schedule I drugs. The legislation has not yet advanced in the GOP-controlled Congress, however. The new @ONDCP Director must commit to common-sense, evidence-based cannabis policy. That includes supporting marijuana de-scheduling and fully implementing my Evidence-Based Drug Policy Act so that federal decisions are guided by science, not stigma. https://t.co/4apx7i0Bom — Dina Titus (@repdinatitus) January 6, 2026 Here’s the text of the current law that would be repealed under the proposal: “The Director…shall ensure that no Federal funds appropriated to the Office of National Drug Control Policy shall be expended for any study or contract relating to the legalization (for a medical use or any other use) of a substance listed in schedule I of section 812 of this title and take such actions as necessary to oppose any attempt to legalize the use of a substance (in any form) that— (A) is listed in schedule I of section 812 of this title; and (B) has not been approved for use for medical purposes by the Food and Drug Administration.” Carter, for her part, has previously voiced support for medical marijuana access, while stating that she doesn’t have a “problem” with legalization, even if she might not personally agree with the policy. A former journalist known for her coverage of drug cartels, the incoming ONDCP director also previously advised senators that the administration was keeping “all options” on the table as it considered a marijuana rescheduling proposal, while describing cannabis reform as a “bipartisan issue.” Despite her personal ambiguity on the rescheduling issue, Trump last month signed an executive order directing the attorney general to expeditiously complete the process of moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Given the role of the ONDCP director in setting and carrying out the administrative agenda on drug policy issues, the fact that Carter has gone on the record enthusiastically endorsing medical cannabis in the past is welcome news for advocates. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) raised the issue of cannabis rescheduling with the then-nominee in September, stating that the incremental reform would represents a “step in the right direction.” “It would open up the door to more scientific study, and so I’m wondering if you were confirmed, how would you advise the American president about the ongoing rescheduling process?” he asked. Carter said she shares Booker’s passion for the issue, which she characterized as “bipartisan.” “If confirmed as director, I will comply with all federal laws and fulfill all statutory responsibilities of the ONDCP,” she said. “However, we will continue to work extensively with research and data. We will continue to do that and explore all options.” Tuesday’s vote on her confirmation was largely along party lines—with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joining all Democrats in opposition, and all other Republicans in support. While Carter has spoken often about various marijuana policy issues—focusing attention on illicit trafficking and illegal grow operations on U.S. land, for example—her public comments on how she personally feels about the topic have been limited. What she did say in a 2024 episode of her podcast, The Sara Carter Show, signaled that she draws a distinction between legally regulated and illicitly supplied marijuana. “I don’t have any problem if it’s legalized and it’s monitored,” she said. “I mean, I may have my own issues of how I feel about that, but I do believe that cannabis for medicinal purposes and medical reasons is a fantastic way of handling—especially for people with cancer and other illnesses, you know—of handling the illness and the side effects of the medication and those illnesses. So I’m not saying we’ve gotta make it illegal.” Last month, a Democratic senator temporarily held up the Republican majority’s attempt to advance Carter’s confirmation, saying she is among many “unqualified” candidates who threaten to “undermine the rule of law and our national security.” Carter will be the second White House drug czar in a row who has voiced support for medical marijuana, following former President Joe Biden’s ONDCP director Rahul Gupta, who worked as a consultant for a cannabis businesses and also oversaw implementation of West Virginia’s medical marijuana program. On her social media, Carter has previously shared links—without commentary—to news stories about a variety of marijuana-related issues. In addition to her focus on illicit cartel grows, she’s also posted about congressional and state-level legalization votes, staffers in the Biden administration being fired over past cannabis use, Democratic presidential candidates’ support for legalization, the advancement of cannabis banking legislation in Congress and state policy developments such as Alaska’s legalization of cannabis cafes. Carter has separately sounded the alarm about the risk of pesticides and other contaminants in marijuana grown and sold by Chinese cartels—an issue that was taken up by a House committee last year. Also last year, the incoming ONDCP director talked about the issue with Derek Maltz, a then-retired Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) official who temporarily served as acting administrator of the agency prior to the confirmation of Trump’s permanent pick, Terrance Cole. In an X post about the interview with Maltz, Carter said he exposed how “Chinese marijuana grow operations are using hazardous chemicals as pesticides.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Mike Garcia (R-CA) applauded Carter, who worked with his office to bring attention to illicit grow operations in his district, leading to a local law enforcement investigation. Carter gave the congressman credit, saying “your work in taking down the illegal marijuana grows has stopped cartels from exploiting your community, those people forced to work on them and the [money].” In an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity in 2021, she also talked about her work with Garcia—including accompanying him on a helicopter to survey “miles and miles and miles of vast, sophisticated illegal grows worth tens of millions of dollars.” Cartels have “become extremely more brazen. They’re not afraid of hiding it,” she said. “They don’t hide it because they don’t feel that they’ll ever be held accountable for it.” In a sense, Carter has seemed to implicitly suggest at multiple times that she supports regulated access to cannabis as a means of promoting public safety and health. Whether and how that implied position will influence federal policy now that she’s confirmed is yet to be seen. On her social media, she’s previously shared links—without commentary—to news stories about a variety of marijuana-related issues. In addition to her focus on illicit cartel grows, she’s also posted about congressional and state-level legalization votes, staffers in the Biden administration being fired over past cannabis use, Democratic presidential candidates’ support for legalization, the advancement of cannabis banking legislation in Congress and state policy developments such as Alaska’s legalization of cannabis cafes.

A top Hawaii lawmaker says he will work to advance a bill this session that would put the question of marijuana legalization to voters after repeated failed efforts to enact the reform legislatively in recent sessions. House Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs Committee Chairman David Tarnas (D) previewed the plan in an interview with Honolulu Civil Beat that was published on Monday. Given the legislature’s evident reluctance to end prohibition on its own despite public support for legalization, he said the issue ought to be decided by voters. “This is kicking this particular policy decision—very selectively—to the public for a decision,” Tarnas, who has previously sponsored legalization and other marijuana reform bills, said. While Gov. Josh Green (D) supports legalizing cannabis, and polling has indicated that Hawaiians are ready for the policy change, the chairman is signaling that he doesn’t anticipate that the legislature will be ready to move forward with a legislative reform this year but may instead be inclined to defer to voters. House Speaker Nadine Nakamura (D) has acknowledged broad public support for marijuana legalization, but said that some of her chamber’s members from the island of Oahu are not on board with the reform. Putting legalization on the ballot would come in the form of a proposed constitutional amendment under Tarnas’s plan, which would require a two-thirds vote in each chamber of the legislature. Hawaii’s Senate last February narrowly defeated a proposal that would have increased fivefold the amount of cannabis that a person could possess without risk of criminal charges. Had the measure become law, it would have increased the amount of cannabis decriminalized in Hawaii from the current 3 grams up to 15 grams. Possession of any amount of marijuana up to that 15-gram limit would have been classified as a civil violation, punishable by a fine of $130. A Senate bill that would have legalized marijuana for adults, meanwhile, ultimately stalled for the session. That measure, SB 1613, failed to make it out of committee by a legislative deadline. While advocates felt there was sufficient support for the legalization proposal in the Senate, it’s widely believed that House lawmakers would have ultimately scuttled the measure, as they did last February with a legalization companion bill, HB 1246. In 2024, a Senate-passed legalization bill also fizzled out in the House. Last year’s House vote to stall the bill came just days after approval from a pair of committees at a joint hearing. Ahead of that hearing, the panels received nearly 300 pages of testimony, including from state agencies, advocacy organizations and members of the public. Green signed separate legislation last year to allow medical marijuana caregivers to grow marijuana on behalf of up to five patients rather than the current one. And in July, the governor signed another bill that establishes a number of new rules around hemp products in Hawaii, including a requirement that distributors and retailers obtain a registration from the Department of Health. Lawmakers also sent a bill to the governor that would help speed the expungement process for people hoping to clear their records of past marijuana-related offenses—a proposal Green signed into law in April. That measure, HB 132, from Tarnas, is intended to expedite expungements happening through a pilot program signed into law in 2024 by Green. Specifically, it will remove a distinction between marijuana and other Schedule V drugs for the purposes of the expungement program. The bill’s proponents said the current wording of the law forces state officials to comb through thousands of criminal records manually in order to identify which are eligible for expungement under the pilot program. Meanwhile, in November, Hawaii officials finalized rules that will allow medical marijuana dispensaries to sell an expanded assortment of products for patients—including dry herb vaporizers, rolling papers and grinders—while revising the state code to clarify that cannabis oils and concentrates can be marketed for inhalation. The department also affirmed its support for federal marijuana rescheduling—a policy change that President Donald Trump ordered to be completed last month but has yet to come to fruition. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

The underlying medical marijuana expansion bill signed by the governor in late June, in addition to allowing more patients to more easily access cannabis, also contains a provision that advocates find problematic. Before lawmakers sent the legislation to Green, a conference committee revised the plan, inserting a provision to allow DOH to access medical marijuana patient records held by doctors for any reason whatsoever. This past fall, regulators solicited proposals to assess the state’s current medical marijuana program—and also sought to estimate demand for recreational sales if the state eventually moves forward with adult-use legalization. Some read the move as a sign the regulatory agency saw a need to prepare to the potential reform. Photo courtesy of Brian Shamblen.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives has approved a bill to legalize marijuana in the state—though its chances of passage in the Senate remain dubious, and the governor has expressed clear opposition to the reform. Also on Wednesday, the House passed a proposal to allow medical cannabis dispensaries to become for-profit businesses. The marijuana legalization measure, sponsored by Rep. Jared Sullivan (D), cleared the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee in October. And on Wednesday, the body approved it in a 208-135 vote. “It is time to stop arresting people for simple possession of cannabis and start treating it with the same fairness and regulation we apply to alcohol,” Sullivan said in a committee majority report. “The majority of our constituents already support legal cannabis, and it is time for the law to reflect the will of the people.” “This bill creates a framework for responsible regulation, testing, and taxation while protecting public safety and freeing law enforcement to focus on serious crimes,” he said. “Legalization will open the door to new economic opportunities for local businesses and generate revenue for prevention, treatment, and education. Most importantly, it acknowledges reality—cannabis is already part of our society, and it is better for everyone when it is safe, legal, and responsibly regulated.” At the committee level, members agreed to move forward with the cannabis bill, even though they generally accepted that it was unlikely to advance beyond the chamber given opposition in the Senate and the threat of a veto by the governor. Rep. Lilli Walsh (R) argued in a committee minority report that legalizing marijuana “would come with significant psychiatric, public safety, and societal costs that far outweigh any projected state revenue.” “Numerous studies show that frequent marijuana use—especially among young men—leads to higher rates of depression, psychosis, and long-term cognitive decline,” she said. “Daily users often struggle with motivation, concentration, and productivity, creating barriers to steady employment and personal stability. We have an obligation to protect our youth from the proven mental health risks of early cannabis use, not normalize it under the false guise of harmless recreation.” If enacted, HB 186 would legalize possession of up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower, 10 grams of concentrates and products with up to 2 grams of THC for adults over 21 years of age. They could also grow six plants at home, three of which could be mature. Past cannabis possession convictions would be vacated, and non-discrimination protections for consumers would be established, including for access to medical care, public benefits, child custody and government employment. A new Cannabis Commission would be established to license and regulate the marijuana industry, along with a Cannabis Advisory Board. Recreational cannabis sales would be taxed at 8.5 percent, with revenue being split between program administration, municipalities, substance misuse programs, public safety agencies and the state general fund. Localities across the state would have ballot referendums asking voters if they want to opt in to allowing retail marijuana sales. The bill will now head to the House Finance Committee before potentially coming back to the House floor for a final vote and, if approved there a second time, will advance to the Senate for consideration. Sullivan’s legalization bill is one of several cannabis proposals filed for the 2026 session, including legislation from Rep. Jonah Wheeler (D) that seeks to put a constitutional amendment on the state ballot that would let voters decide if they want to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and older, allowing them to “possess a modest amount of cannabis for their personal use.” Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R) has already threatened to veto any legalization bill that reaches her desk, though the constitutional amendment proposal would not require gubernatorial action. The governor said in August that her position on the reform would not change even if the federal government moved forward with rescheduling the plant. Since then, President Donald Trump has directed the attorney general to finalize the process of moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). At a committee meeting last year, Sullivan ultimately made a persuasive argument for advancing his legalization bill, pointing out that the House has repeatedly passed similar legislation and that the chamber should stand its ground, forcing the Senate and governor to again go on record with their opposition to a policy popular among voters. “We know where it’s going to go. Let’s send a virtue signal,” Sullivan said. “Let them be the ones that are pissing off voters who care about this.” Meanwhile, the House also approved a bill on Wednesday from Rep. Wendy Thomas (D) that would allow medical marijuana dispensaries (known as “alternative treatment centers,” or ATCs, in the state) to convert their dispensary licenses to become for-profit entities. HB 54, which passed on the consent calendar with other legislation, previously advanced unanimously out of the House Finance Committee. Part of the motivation behind the legislation is the fact that medical marijuana dispensaries don’t qualify for federal non-profit status. But in the state, they’re considered non-profit organizations, which has resulted in disproportionately increased operating costs. Other bills filed for 2026 include two proposals to protect the gun rights of medical cannabis patients. There are also a few pieces of legislation aimed at regulating hemp sales—an issue that’s receiving heightened attention given that Congress passed, and Trump signed, an appropriations bill that would effectively re-criminalize most consumable hemp products. Meanwhile, after the House added provisions to a Senate-passed bill last year that would allow medical marijuana patients to grow cannabis at home, those measures were stripped in conference.
