  10. Yesterday
  11. President Donald Trump on Sunday shared a video promoting the health benefits of cannabis—suggesting that covering CBD under Medicare would be “the most important senior health initiative of the century.” As the marijuana industry awaits Trump’s decision on a pending rescheduling proposal, the president’s decision to put a spotlight on the video that was produced by The Commonwealth Project immediately drew the attention of stakeholders. What the nearly three-minute clip—which repeatedly refers to “hemp derived CBD”—means for broader marijuana rescheduling’s prospects is unclear. But it also comes amid a contentious debate in Congress about federal hemp laws, with some GOP lawmakers vying for an outright ban on cannabis with any trace amounts of THC. Experts say that would effectively eradicate the hemp market, as it’s considered unfeasible to produce even non-intoxicating CBD products without at least some level of THC. The video Trump posted also briefly features a Fox News clip describing the economic benefits of medical marijuana legalization, saying that on an annual basis it would amount to cost savings of “$64 billion a year if cannabis is fully integrated into the healthcare system.” “The groundbreaking 2018 Farm Bill championed by President Trump was the first step” toward modernizing health care integrating cannabis, the narration says. That refers to the landmark legislation that federally legalized hemp containing up to 0.3 percent THC, which Trump signed in his first term. Notably, the video also states that “it’s time to educate doctors on the endocannabinoid system, provide Medicare coverage for CBD and give millions of seniors the support they deserve.” At a time when certain senior lawmakers, including Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), are pushing for policy changes that threaten to upend the CBD market, touting a promotion that calls for Medicare coverage of the cannabinoid is notable. “You will deliver the most important senior health initiative of the century, cementing your legacy and transforming aging care,” it says. “Millions everywhere will thank you.” While Trump didn’t directly comment on the video in his post, here’s a transcript: “You can revolutionize senior health care. We’ve all heard about the major systems in our bodies—like the digestive, respiratory, nervous and cardiovascular systems–but there’s one essential system discovered in the 90s that you probably never heard of. It makes all of the other systems work smoothly with each other, like a conductor ensuring the different sections of an orchestra all play a beautiful symphony together. This system is called the endocannabinoid system. It has been acknowledged and studied by scientists extensively, with support from the National Institutes of Health. As we age, the system weakens. As a result, the different systems in our body stop working together smoothly. That’s one of the reasons older adults struggle with pain, inflammation, cognitive decline and other ailments of aging for which doctors often prescribe dangerous and addictive pharmaceuticals. They also recommend lifestyle remedies such as exercise, good diet and stress management. And while all these improve the system, it is only fractionally and over a long time. But here’s the game changer: The system can be restored faster using hemp-derived CBD. When the system is restored, pain subsides, sleep is improved and stress is reduced. When the system is restored, disease progression can slow down, and years are added to your life—as well as years spent in good health. And 20 percent of seniors are already using CBD today for pain, arthritis, cancer, symptoms, sleep disorders, Alzheimer’s and many other ailments of aging. But doctors are not equipped to provide guidance, and there are no FDA standards for what is already in the market today. Imagine if that were the case for other medications. Older adults are suffering needlessly. Hemp-derived CBD can help them feel better, live longer and improve their quality of life significantly. [Fox News clip:] A Price Waterhouse Coopers report estimates annual cost savings for the U.S.: nearly $64 billion a year if cannabis is fully integrated into the healthcare system. The groundbreaking 2018 Farm Bill championed by President Trump was the first step. Now it’s time to educate doctors on the endocannabinoid system, provide Medicare coverage for CBD and give millions of seniors the support they deserve. You will deliver the most important senior health initiative of the century, cementing your legacy and transforming aging care. Millions everywhere will thank you.” The group that produced the video, the Commonwealth Project, was a participant in since-stalled hearings on the marijuana rescheduling process that was initiated by the Biden administration. It submitted a comment to the federal docket arguing that the “historic” proposal would provide for “greater, but not complete, certainty for seniors, researchers, and physicians to engage in research or pilot health care projects that examine the benefits and distribution of medical cannabis.” Meanwhile, a new poll shows that a majority of Americans don’t consider marijuana dangerous, though most do think consuming cannabis increases the likelihood that people will transition to using more dangerous drugs. The poll is one of the latest temperature checks on American sentiment toward drug policy as Trump weighs a proposal to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). And while a leading prohibitionist group, Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), recently claimed a poll they commissioned demonstrated majority opposition to rescheduling, a policy change that Trump endorsed on the campaign trail, the result flies in the face of multiple other national surveys showing support for reform that goes beyond rescheduling. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

A poll released in June that Marijuana Moment partnered on with the cannabis telehealth platform NuggMD showed that a majority of marijuana consumers disapprove of the Trump administration’s actions on cannabis policy to date, but there’s also a significant willingness among users to shift their position if the federal government opts to reschedule or legalize marijuana. Earlier this year, meanwhile, a firm associated with Trump—Fabrizio, Lee & Associates—also polled Americans on a series of broader marijuana policy issues. Notably, it found that a majority of Republicans back cannabis rescheduling—and, notably, they’re even more supportive of allowing states to legalize marijuana without federal interference compared to the average voter.

  13. “One officer openly referred to the religious operation as a ‘loophole’ and laughed when corrected. He also said ‘look how stupid they are, they wrote it all down.'” By Alixel Cabrera, Utah News Dispatch Months after Utah’s ban on flavored vapes, Blackhouse, a former Sugar House vape shop, became a sanctuary and a safe haven for those searching to get flavored cartridges—for spiritual and religious practices. The electronic cigarettes joined other sacraments that have been at the center of religious legal challenges in the state like psychedelic mushrooms and cannabis. But, after Utah law enforcement agencies raided the Sugar House location, as well as the Salt City Sanctuary in South Salt Lake in August, all of these sacraments have been put into legal question, with the Sugarleaf Church, the institution overseeing both sanctuaries, initiating a lawsuit to keep them. “Officers arrived using riot gear, AR-15s, pry bars, and battering rams, forcibly entered both sanctuaries, and immediately began disabling the security systems and surveillance cameras with a crow bar,” the church said in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City in August. During the raids officers confiscated cannabis and psilocybin products, which the church called “sacramental property,” as well as thousands of flavored vape cartridges, blank checkbooks, waivers, clergy rosters, cash donations, tablets and membership records. The church is asking a judge to order law enforcement to stop interfering with members’ free exercise of religion and to award compensatory damages. The institution is also asking the South Salt Lake Police Department and the Utah State Bureau of Investigation to undergo mandatory religious sensitivity training and for the immediate return of property. At Salt City Sanctuary the agents seized “4.24 kilograms of packaged marijuana flower; over a kilogram of ‘fresh flower’ marijuana; 956 1-gram pre-rolled marijuana joints, 8 display jars of marijuana flower, 152.5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, mushroom gummies and sample packs, numerous edibles with THC, and rolling papers,” according to a motion to dismiss filed by the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office. At Blackhouse, officers confiscated “significant quantities of raw marijuana; psilocybin mushrooms; THC vapes, cookies, gummies, candies, syrups, oils, and similar products; psilocybin cookies, gummies, and similar products; and over 3,000 flavored vape cartridges and order receipts,” the district attorney’s office said in its motion. Joshua Robers, a church reverend, was also arrested and booked into Salt Lake County Jail during the Salt City Sanctuary raid. He faces multiple charges in 3rd District Court, including possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, a third-degree felony. The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit this month and declined to comment because the litigation is ongoing. The church The Sugarleaf Church is a non-denominational church with branches in nine states and Mexico that uses psychoactive substances for sacraments, including cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms. Members have to sign an agreement committing to following the church’s code of conduct. “These are not casual practices,” the church wrote in its lawsuit, “they are intentional, structured, and rooted in decades of education, experience and legal precedent.” The church cited protections under the U.S. Constitution and federal law that guards religious freedom in the filing. It also mentioned a federal judge’s recent decision siding with a small Provo-based faith group that uses psilocybin mushrooms as part of its practice and ordering Utah County to temporarily stop criminal proceedings against the organization and its founder. The Provo case partially hinged on a 2024 state law that made it easier to sue government entities if they restrict a person’s right to exercise their religion. The Sugarleaf raids came a day after that decision, the church said. According to a sanctuary volunteer’s statement, officers refused to read waivers, doctrinal statements and clergy notices. They also “mocked the religious affiliation.” “One officer openly referred to the religious operation as a ‘loophole’ and laughed when corrected. He also said ‘look how stupid they are, they wrote it all down,’” the church’s lawsuit says. However, prosecutors argue the Utah sites are best defined as shops and not churches, since Department of Commerce records indicate that multiple business entities were operating at the same location as Blackhouse Sanctuary, including Blackhouse Vapor Company LLC. That fact, the prosecutors wrote, rebuts the claims that the activities at the Sugar House location were solely religious. The District Attorney’s Office also pointed out that “plaintiffs assert religious use of marijuana and psilocybin; they do not assert any religious belief or practice relating to flavored vape cartridges.” This story was first published by Utah News Dispatch.

  18. “The research record does, however, robustly document the substantial public health harms associated with coca control strategies at all scales.” By Mattha Busby, Filter The consumption of the coca leaf in its raw form by millions daily across the Andes carries no significant risks, but official coca control strategies are associated with “substantial public health harms,” according to a review commissioned by the World Health Organization. Filter viewed an advance copy of the report that was distributed to members of the WHO’s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD). Coca, the mildly stimulating and medicinal leaf that is the base ingredient of cocaine, was banned globally by the UN in 1964 after its investigators claimed coca leaf chewing is “definitely harmful” and “the cause of racial degeneration of many population groups.” A WHO paper also described the use of the calcium-rich plant as “a social evil.” But despite U.S.-backed militarized efforts to eradicate coca leaf production in Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador throughout the decades-long drug war, the consumption of the plant—which for many Indigenous communities holds profound spiritual value—has remained stubbornly prevalent, with production in Colombia at all-time highs. “Research reviewed for this report did not reveal evidence of clinically meaningful public health harms associated with coca leaf use,” states the comprehensive scientific review commissioned by the ECDD. “The research record does, however, robustly document the substantial public health harms associated with coca control strategies at all scales.” The review is currently in draft form and subject to copyediting. It was commissioned amid growing international calls to end the blanket prohibition of coca, as Filter previously reported. In October, the ECDD will discuss the report, which was prepared by an international group of independent contracted experts, and consider whether to recommend a change to coca’s current Schedule I status—the most restricted category, meaning researchers often find it impossible to source the understudied leaves. Any recommendations would be presented in December to the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, which has a rotating membership of 53 United Nations member states. In March 2026, the CND would vote on any recommendations. It could reschedule or even deschedule the coca leaf—which would have huge ramifications, ending the criminalization of its use and potentially providing a major economic boon for Latin American producer countries. “We don’t yet have a recommendation from the committee but based on this, it would be hard to see how they could possibly recommend coca stay in Schedule I,” Steve Rolles, senior policy analyst at Transform Drug Policy Foundation, a charity campaigning for the legal regulation of drugs, told Filter. “It’s quite likely that [the ECDD] might actually recommend descheduling, which is what Colombia, Bolivia and many people in civil society are hoping for,” he continued. “Leaving coca in any schedule does implicitly criminalize millions of people who use it traditionally.” However, should the WHO make a descheduling recommendation, Rolles expects the CND—which currently counts the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and China among its members—to vote it down. “The prohibitionist countries would rally around and overturn any descheduling to keep it banned just because they’re so paranoid about cocaine,” he said. In February, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro made widely reported remarks calling for the legalization of cocaine, which he described as “no worse than whiskey.” Bolivia’s outgoing left-wing and Indigenous-led government has called for an end to “decades of the colonization of the coca leaf,” but it is unlikely that the incoming right-wing government will pursue reform. The WHO-commissioned paper noted research that showed exposure to harmful glyphosate-based pesticides like Roundup, found to be a probable carcinogen, from the aerial spraying of coca crops by authorities “increased the number of miscarriages and the number of medical consultations related to dermatological and respiratory illnesses in targeted communities.” It added that another study showed that forced coca eradication incentivized coca farmers to intensify production through increased use of toxic agro-chemicals “in remaining or subsequent coca plots, increasing their exposure to those chemicals.” In the 1990s coca farmers had their crops destroyed and were arrested and prosecuted even when they were growing the plant only for traditional uses. “Chronic exposure to agro-chemicals increases any health risks associated with their use, including neurological damage, organ failure, and reproductive health problems,” the paper said. “Pesticides and other agrochemicals commonly used in the cultivation of unregulated crops may influence both the safety profile and health risks associated with plant use.” Indigenous people in sprayed areas have also complained of “flu-like symptoms including nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory problems, and skin rashes”, according to a 2001 report by the Transnational Institute, a progressive think tank. “At least, it seems that the debate will be driven by science and evidence, rather than prejudice,” Ricardo Soberón, a former president of DEVIDA, Peru’s official drug control commission, who now campaigns for coca growers’ rights, told Filter. “I hope Latin American states, as well as the 53 members of the CND, should understand that descheduling the plant will strengthen our fight against criminal gangs.” Martin Jelsma, a program director at the Transnational Institute, said that the review report “clearly establishes” that there is no evidence of meaningful public health harms or dependence associated with coca leaf use. “With regard to the medicinal uses, the evidence is still preliminary but the potential is considered to be of ‘great interest for future developments to establish efficacy and safety for use in human medicine’,” he told Filter. “Those basic conclusions take away the original justification for its inclusion in Schedule I.” The only reason left to keep coca leaf there would be the “ease of conversion” into cocaine, Jelsma added, “and it’s important that the report notes that cocaine can be produced from coca leaf by means of ‘solvent extraction’ rather than a process of ‘conversion’ which implies a chemical transformation of the molecule.” The report refers to the cultural significance of coca, as well as its use as a herbal medicine, but the question of Indigenous rights and human rights violations is “deliberately avoided in the section on the impacts of current controls,” he said. The review does not comment on the health consequences of militarized enforcement strategies to eradicate coca and disrupt the trafficking supply, which many experts say fuel violence. Compounding the issues resulting from the prohibition of coca, conservation campaigners have said that eradication efforts often force growers to deforest areas further from law enforcement inspections. The report comes as use of coca in food, drinks like energy tonics and beer, cosmetic products that claim anti-aging properties and textiles is also increasing. Despite noting a lack of meaningful public health harms associated with coca leaf use, the report said that “in contrast to the abundant literature on the botanical, historical, and cultural aspects of coca leaves, adequately designed studies evaluating their clinical effects are scarce.” Nonetheless, it said, “there is no evidence … of a fatal coca leaf overdose in humans.” This article was originally published by Filter, an online magazine covering drug use, drug policy and human rights through a harm reduction lens.

  24. A new poll shows that a majority of Americans don’t consider marijuana dangerous, though most do think consuming cannabis increases the likelihood that people will transition to using more dangerous drugs. The survey from Rasmussen Reports, widely viewed as a conservative polling firm, asked several questions dealing with cannabis and other drug-related topics as President Donald Trump considers a marijuana rescheduling proposal. One top-line finding is that 53 percent of respondents said that cannabis use is either “not at all dangerous” or “not very dangerous,” while 42 percent said it was either “somewhat dangerous” or “very dangerous.” Republicans were more likely to say marijuana was dangerous (54 percent total) compared to Democrats (35 percent total). The survey—which involved interviews with 1,305 American adults from September 21-23—also inquired about public opinion on the gateway drug theory, asking: “How likely is it that marijuana use leads to the use of more dangerous drugs?” Despite the majority perception that marijuana isn’t dangerous—and the fact that polls consistently show majority (and increasingly bipartisan) support for legalizing cannabis, 51 percent of respondents said it was “very likely” or “somewhat likely” that marijuana could lead to more dangerous drug use. Another 42 percent said that it was “not very likely” or “not at all likely.” Most Still Don’t See Marijuana as Dangerous A majority of Americans don’t think it’s dangerous to use marijuana, despite recent research findings on the subject. Full story is in the comments… pic.twitter.com/t5dwKZF1Zb — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) September 26, 2025 Rasmussen also examined opinions around the broader “problem of drug abuse” in the U.S., asking people to rate their sense of the current status of the issue. Just 5 percent said the situation is getting “better,” 36 percent said it’s “worse” and 39 percent said it’s “about the same.” The poll, which has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points, is one of the latest temperature checks on American sentiment toward drug policy as Trump weighs a proposal to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). And while a leading prohibitionist group, Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), recently claimed a poll they commissioned demonstrated majority opposition to rescheduling, a policy change that Trump endorsed on the campaign trail, the result flies in the face of multiple other national surveys showing support for reform that goes beyond rescheduling. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

A poll released in June that Marijuana Moment partnered on with the cannabis telehealth platform NuggMD showed that a majority of marijuana consumers disapprove of the Trump administration’s actions on cannabis policy to date, but there’s also a significant willingness among users to shift their position if the federal government opts to reschedule or legalize marijuana. Earlier this year, meanwhile, a firm associated with Trump—Fabrizio, Lee & Associates—also polled Americans on a series of broader marijuana policy issues. Notably, it found that a majority of Republicans back cannabis rescheduling—and, notably, they’re even more supportive of allowing states to legalize marijuana without federal interference compared to the average voter.

  25. A non-intoxicating cannabis product that is being sold across the U.S. can ease symptoms of moderate to severe anxiety after a short duration of use, a new study has found. “Results from this open-label clinical trial provide evidence that a hemp-derived, full-spectrum, high-CBD product similar to those currently available in the marketplace may be both safe and efficacious for the treatment of anxiety,” the authors wrote. The standardized formulation of the cannabidiol (CBD) product is helpful for evaluating how consumers on a broader level may behave outside of a lab setting, the researchers said. The trial included 12 adults with moderate to severe anxiety, all of whom were required to abstain from marijuana use prior to enrolling and throughout the seven-week duration of the study. Participants self-administered the CBD formulation twice daily for six weeks, totaling 30 milligrams per day. Participants were tested every visit for the presence of THC-COOH, a marijuana metabolite, through a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry device. Within a week of starting the trial, participants reported improvements in anxiety symptoms, sleep, mood, quality of life, cognition, executive function and memory. “Few side effects were reported, and no serious adverse events occurred,” the researchers noted. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in the country. While it is often treated by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the new results promise for alternative treatments. “In the present study, dramatic reductions in anxiety occurred following just one week of treatment with the study product,” the authors wrote. “First-line treatments for anxiety,” such as SSRIs, the paper says, “can take several weeks to demonstrate efficacy.” The study was authored by scientists affiliated with Harvard Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry and carried out at McLean Hospital, the largest psychiatric facility of Harvard Medical School. The results were published in the August 2025 issue of Biomedicines, a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The scientists used a proprietary CBD formulation also containing trace amounts of THC from the company Charlotte’s Web, which provided funding for the study. “The funders had no role in the design of the study; in the collection, analyses, or interpretation of data; in the writing of the manuscript; or in the decision to publish the results,” the authors wrote. “Findings from this clinical trial provide preliminary evidence that use of this proprietary hemp-derived, full-spectrum, high-CBD sublingual product may result in clinical improvement with few side effects in patients with moderate-to-severe anxiety, extending previous work suggesting CBD may be efficacious for anxiety,” the paper notes. While the trial’s findings show efficacy and tolerability of the CBD product in patients with moderate-to-severe levels of anxiety, the authors caution that more research is needed. “Given the potential benefits observed in this trial, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of hemp-derived high-CBD products are warranted to obtain robust data regarding the safety and efficacy of CBD-containing products for anxiety,” they concluded. These study’s conclusions extend prior studies that suggest CBD may be effective for quelling symptoms of anxiety. A study funded in part by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, for example, found that medical marijuana was associated with “significant decreases in self-reported anxiety and depression” compared to before patients began treatment with cannabis. Another study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that a citrusy-smelling terpene in marijuana could help ease anxiety and paranoia associated with THC. The findings, researchers wrote, could help unlock the maximum therapeutic benefit of THC and protect public health. An industry-backed 2024 research paper into the potential anti-anxiety effects of cannabidiol found that an oral CBD solution effectively treated mild to moderate anxiety, as well as associated depression and poor sleep quality, with no serious adverse events observed. And another study published in 2024 in the scientific journal Adolescent Heath, Medicine and Therapeutics examined medical marijuana patients in the U.S. who are under the age of 21. Researchers found that minors and young adults typically qualify for state cannabis programs for many of the same reasons that older adults do, including anxiety, PTSD and chronic pain.

  26. Bipartisan House lawmakers are pushing back against attempts to ban hemp THC products, arguing that it would “deal a fatal blow” to the industry and, as currently included in a spending bill, violates congressional rules. To that end, the members say there are plans in the works to introduce an alternative measure to regulate the market. In a letter sent to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Friday, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and 26 other members said the appropriations legislation that’s advancing in the House with the hemp ban provisions intact would upend the industry that’s emerged since the crop was legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill. While the Senate ultimately stripped similar language from its version of the agriculture spending measure following a procedural protest from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), there’s still concern among stakeholders that it could wind up in the final package delivered to the president following bicameral negotiations. If that were to happen, the lawmakers wrote that “it would deal a fatal blow to American farmers supplying the regulated hemp industry and small businesses, and jeopardize tens of billions of dollars in economic activity around the country.” “Additionally, there are serious procedural concerns with how the language ended up in these bills,” they said. “This language has not been considered in a markup or hearing by any relevant authorizing committee and there was no public forum for members to express concerns with this language and preferred alternative legislation more appropriate for the relevant authorizing committees.” Specifically, the letter says the inclusion of the hemp provisions in the House bill “clearly violates” a rule prohibiting language that changes existing law through general appropriations legislation. “Perhaps most concerning is the characterization by proponents of this language that the bill will not negatively impact the industrial hemp industry,” it says, referring to comments from certain legislators such as Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who have championed the controversial proposal. “On the contrary, it eliminates the existing and future development of dual cultivars used by farmers to produce grain and cannabinoids or fiber and cannabinoids,” the letter continues. “These genetic advances are critical to maximizing the economic value of a single crop, giving farmers the flexibility to respond to shifting market demands and improve overall profitability.” “In short, the inherent interconnectedness of the grain, fiber and cannabinoid markets means the long-term success of American hemp farmers depends on the continued viability of all three markets. The hemp industry is not a collection of competing sectors, but an interconnected ecosystem where growth in one segment supports opportunity and innovation across the whole.” Rather than pursue “this damaging appropriations rider,” the bipartisan members said Congress should enact regulations for consumable hemp that would prevent sales to people under 21, prohibit copycat products that resemble popular non-cannabis brands, standardize labeling requirements and mandate lab testing. As noted in the letter, such legislation has previously been introduced in the Senate. It also says legislation is actively being drafted in the House Energy and Commerce Committee. “By arbitrarily changing the definition of legal hemp rather than responsibly regulating the market, Congress is effectively turning out the lights on America’s legal hemp farmers and undermining the work being done by our colleagues in the authorizing committees and in states that have created regulatory frameworks for hemp products,” the letter says. “For these reasons, we strongly urge leadership to remove this language from the FY26 Ag-FDA Appropriations bill and any final FY26 appropriations bill,” it concludes. “We will continue to stand up for American hemp farmers and small businesses and oppose efforts to include this language in any bill.” Besides Comer, other signatories on the letter include Reps. Andy Barr (R-KY), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Nancy Mace (R-SC), Ted Lieu (D-CA), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and more. Comer said in a press release with the U.S. Hemp Roundtable that he’s “witnessed firsthand the tremendous potential of industrial hemp to create quality jobs and meaningful economic opportunities for American workers and family farmers.” “As Kentucky’s Commissioner of Agriculture, I spearheaded the state’s industrial hemp pilot program and continue to be a strong advocate for the hemp industry in Congress,” he said. “I’m fully committed to leading bipartisan efforts to urge House leadership to strip harmful language from the FY26 Ag-FDA bill—and any final appropriations package—that arbitrarily redefines legal hemp.” Meanwhile, Democratic senators also sent a letter to leadership earlier this month that warned of the major upheaval that would happen in the hemp market if products containing any amount of THC were banned. “Consumer safety and protecting kids while promoting opportunities for national economic growth in the hemp industry can and must go hand-in-hand,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), who led that letter with Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), said. “Congress needs to get serious about pursuing common-sense safeguards to protect kids and consumers and encourage innovation instead of a one-size-fits-all approach that hinders economic development and doesn’t keep kids safe.” Dozens of hemp farmers from Kentucky also recently urged their state’s senior U.S. senator, McConnell, to back off from his push to recriminalize some products that are derived from their crops. Paul, for his part, recently cautioned that the cannabis policy movement has “swung hard on the prohibitionist side” amid the ongoing debate over intoxicating hemp products. And he worries that, if things go awry, the hemp market could be decimated “within the next two weeks.” Asked about recent conversations with McConnell and Harris, Paul said “we’ve been working diligently” with the staff “trying to reach a compromise.” “A lot of the conversations have been constructive. They say, at least on the surface, they’re not trying to eliminate it—but I think we are, in some ways, talking past each other,” he said. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year. Patreon supporters pledging at least $25/month get access to our interactive maps, charts and hearing calendar so they don’t miss any developments. Learn more about our marijuana bill tracker and become a supporter on Patreon to get access. — Meanwhile, Paul recently filed a standalone bill that would go in the opposite direction of the hemp ban, proposing to triple the concentration of THC that the crop could legally contain, while addressing multiple other concerns the industry has expressed about federal regulations. The senator introduced the legislation, titled the Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan (HEMP) Act, in June. It mirrors versions he’s sponsored over the last several sessions. Harris, who championed the hemp THC ban in his chamber version of the agriculture spending legislation, told Marijuana Moment that he wasn’t concerned about any potential opposition to the hemp ban in the Senate—and he also disputed reports about the scope of what his legislation would do to the industry. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a report in June stating that the legislation would “effectively” prohibit hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Initially it said that such a ban would prevent the sale of CBD as well, but the CRS report was updated to exclude that language for reasons that are unclear. The hemp language is largely consistent with appropriations and agriculture legislation that was introduced, but not ultimately enacted, under the last Congress. Hemp industry stakeholders rallied against that proposal, an earlier version of which was also included in the base bill from the subcommittee last year. It’s virtually identical to a provision of the 2024 Farm Bill that was attached by a separate committee last May via an amendment from Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), which was also not enacted into law.

  27. Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) is again highlighting the potential benefits of the powerful psychedelic ibogaine for people with serious mental and physical health conditions. In an episode of his podcast Newt’s World, the former speaker spoke with the co-founders of Ambio Life Sciences, a company providing ibogaine treatment in Mexico. Gingrich said the therapy option is at the “absolute cutting edge of science,” while inquiring about what makes ibogaine “such a uniquely powerful intervention” in the treatment of conditions like addiction. He also noted that, while ibogaine is currently a Schedule I drug in the U.S. and cannot be accessed by most patients due to its lack of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, aspirin is widely available even though it didn’t go through the rigorous regulatory approval process. “We’ve grandfathered it in—and we can produce aspirin, and billions of people have taken it—but we literally could never meet the FDA standard,” he said. “To what degree is the very complexity of ibogaine, when measured against what clearly is its impact, put in a kind of similar situation where we could spend so many years trying to figure out what the underlying mechanisms are—and we’re losing people every year while we’re engaged in that kind of academic research?” the former speaker asked. Jonathan Dickinson, CEO of Ambio Life Sciences, said it was a “really good question” that speaks to complex regulatory hurdles. “Ultimately, I think that the process of studying ibogaine is going to help us to better understand neuroscience and pharmacology,” he said, adding, “I think we’re still a ways from being able to claim a high degree of certainty” about the psychedelic’s effects to facilitate FDA approval. During the interview, Gingrich also inquired about the efficacy rate of ibogaine in the treatment of addiction, as well as concerns about potential cardiac issues associated with the use of the psychedelic. “I have to say: The more I’ve learned, the more intrigued I am,” Gingrich said. This is the latest in a series of conversations the former speaker has had around psychedelic medicine. In July, for example, Gingrich extolled the therapeutic promise of ibogaine, drawing attention to a Stanford University study that found the psychedelic showed potential to treat PTSD, anxiety and depression in military veterans with traumatic brain injury. He also previously had the executive director of Americans for Ibogaine as a guest on his show. One noteworthy state-level development Gingrich has pointed to is recent legislation signed into law by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to create a state-backed research consortium to conduct clinical trials on ibogaine as a possible treatment for substance use disorders and other mental health conditions. The ultimate goal of the Texas project is to develop the psychedelic into a prescription drug with FDA approval, with the state retaining a portion of the profit. In Gingrich’s earlier podcast episode with W. Brian Hubbard, executive director of Americans for Ibogaine, the former speaker said that ibogaine represents an “astonishing breakthrough” in the nation’s current “sick care system” that’s left people with serious mental health conditions without access to promising alternative treatment options—and that he intended to use his influence to advance the issue. “This could be an astonishing breakthrough in what has been a long losing struggle with addiction across this country,” he said at the time. “It strikes me that the whole ‘Make America Healthy Again’ movement—that this could be a very significant building block in getting us back to being a country that’s not addicted. I can’t imagine a more timely podcast than to be talking with you about this.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

For example, a Navy SEAL veteran credited with killing Osama Bin Laden said during a recent Fox News interview that psychedelic therapy has helped him process the trauma he experienced during his time in the military, stressing that “it works” and should be an available treatment option. That interview came days after the U.S. House of Representatives included an amendment to a spending bill from Reps. Lou Correa (D-CA) and Jack Bergman (R-MI) that would encourage VA to support research into the benefits of psychedelics in treating medical conditions commonly affecting military veterans. Meanwhile, HHS Secretary Kennedy recently said his agency is “absolutely committed” to expanding research on the benefits of psychedelic therapy and, alongside of the head of FDA, is aiming to provide legal access to such substances for military veterans “within 12 months.” VA Secretary Doug Collins also disclosed in April that he had an “eye-opening” talk with Kennedy about the therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicine. And he said he’s open to the idea of having the government provide vouchers to cover the costs of psychedelic therapy for veterans who receive services outside of VA as Congress considers pathways for access. Collins also recently visited a facility conducting research on psychedelics, and he reiterated that it’s his “promise” to advance research into the therapeutic potential of the substances—even if that might take certain policy changes within the department and with congressional support. The secretary’s visit to the psychedelics research center came about a month after the VA secretary met with a military veteran who’s become an advocate for psilocybin access to discuss the therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicine for the veteran community. Collins also briefly raised the issue in a Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump in April. Reps. Lou Correa (D-CA) and Jack Bergman (R-MI)—co-chairs of the Congressional Psychedelic Advancing Therapies (PATH) Caucus—introduced a bill in April to provide $30 million in funding annually to establish psychedelics-focused “centers for excellence” at VA facilities, where veterans could receive novel treatment involving substances like psilocybin, MDMA and ibogaine. Bergman has also expressed optimism about the prospects of advancing psychedelics reform under Trump, arguing that the administration’s efforts to cut spending and the federal workforce will give agencies “spines” to tackle such complex issues. Kennedy, for his part, also said in April that he had a “wonderful experience” with LSD at 15 years old, which he took because he thought he’d be able to see dinosaurs, as portrayed in a comic book he was a fan of. Last October, Kennedy specifically criticized FDA under the prior administration over the agency’s “suppression of psychedelics” and a laundry list of other issues that he said amounted to a “war on public health” that would end under the Trump administration. In December, VA separately announced that it’s providing $1.5 million in funding to study the efficacy of MDMA-assisted therapy for veterans with PTSD and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Last year, VA’s Yehuda also touted an initial study the agency funded that produced “stunning and robust results” from its first-ever clinical trial into MDMA therapy. In January, former VA Under Secretary for Health Shereef Elnahal said that it was “very encouraging” that Trump’s pick to have Kennedy lead HHS has supported psychedelics reform. And he hoped to work with him on the issue if he stayed on for the next administration, but that didn’t pan out. Photo courtesy of Flickr/Scamperdale.

  28. “Everyone knows that a large increase in cannabis taxes drives customers straight back to the illicit market. That means businesses are going to fail, jobs will be lost and less tax revenue will be collected.” By Jordyn Hermani, Bridge Michigan This story was originally published by Bridge Michigan, a nonprofit and nonpartisan news organization. To get regular coverage from Bridge Michigan, sign up for a free Bridge Michigan newsletter here. A plan to raise money for road repairs by increasing marijuana taxes quickly advanced through the Michigan House late Thursday as part of what officials called a larger framework for a state budget deal. The proposed Comprehensive Road Funding Tax Act would impose a 24 percent tax on the wholesale price of marijuana sold or transferred to a retail shop, beginning in January. That would generate an estimated $420 million a year, according to the nonpartisan House Fiscal Agency. Most of the funding from the proposed Comprehensive Road Funding Tax Act would go into a new Neighborhood Road Fund for local roads and bridges. The pot tax proposal passed the Republican-led House with bipartisan support in a 78-21 vote just hours after it was unveiled, with opposition from 10 Republicans and 11 Democrats. It now goes to the Democratic-led Senate for further consideration. A separate bill approved Thursday—and tied to the pot tax proposal—would extend new federal income tax exemptions on tips and overtime pay to state filers for three years. That would benefit qualifying workers but cost the state more than $150 million annually between 2026 and 2028, according to the fiscal agency. The votes came shortly before Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Senate Democratic Leader Winnie Brinks and Republican House Speaker Matt Hall announced a framework agreement to pass the budget before a potential government shutdown next week. That will include a road funding plan totaling between $1.5 billion and $1.8 billion in annual funding, according to Hall, R-Richland Township. The full plan could also include redirected business incentive funding, along with a sales and gas tax swap that would ensure all taxes that motorists pay at the pump go toward road repairs. “There’s still a lot of work to do here over the next few days to work out details, but this large framework…is putting us on that path to get this thing done on time,” Hall said of the larger state budget. The proposed 24 percent wholesale tax rate on marijuana is lower than the 32 percent Whitmer initially proposed in her own roads plan, but industry groups say it could still devastate the Michigan market. “Everyone knows that a large increase in cannabis taxes drives customers straight back to the illicit market,” said Robin Schneider, director of the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association. “That means businesses are going to fail, jobs will be lost and less tax revenue will be collected.” The recreational marijuana law approved by Michigan voters in 2018 includes a 10% excise tax on retail sales, in addition to the state’s 6% sales tax. Margins for Michigan marijuana businesses are already “very thin,” and additional taxes could force price hikes that deter purchases by residents from border states who shop here, Schneider said. The pot tax proposal won bipartisan support in the Republican-led House, however. Rep. Alabas Farhat, D-Dearborn, told reporters he doesn’t think marijuana companies are “doing as bad as they say they’re doing” based on the number of billboards he sees on Michigan highways. “We are heavily behind our peer states on where we ought to be on a wholesale tax,” he said, adding that Michiganders deserved to have “high quality roads that they can depend upon.” Hall, however, was slightly more sympathetic to industry concerns surrounding the 24% wholesale tax, saying that Republicans were able to talk Whitmer down from her initially proposed 32% tax rate, which they thought were “too high.” The House also approved two additional bills, tied to the road funding plan and the larger state budget debate. One could allow Michigan to continue a Medicaid provider tax—if the Whitmer administration secures a federal waiver—otherwise in jeopardy because of President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful” tax-and-spending cut law. The other would exempt tips and overtime pay from state income taxes. It would also “decouple” a handful of state and federal income taxes to preempt any potential state revenue losses from the Trump law. Both of those bills passed the state House in 95-4 votes. A fourth bill—part of a larger House Republican roads package which passed the chamber in March—is also tied to the package but could be changed by the Senate before final passage. There is less than a week left until October 1, the constitutional deadline for when the state must have a balanced budget signed into law—or face a government shutdown.

  29. The Trump administration is asking a federal court to dismiss one of multiple pending cases concerning marijuana and gun rights, in large part because it expects the U.S. Supreme Court to make a precedent-setting ruling on the issue. In a filing with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma on Tuesday, attorneys for the Justice Department urged a judge to dismiss a case “without prejudice” that involves a man charged in 2022 after police discovered cannabis and a handgun in his vehicle during a traffic stop. Attorneys for the man, Jared Michael Harrison, also want the court to dismiss the case—but they take issue with DOJ’s specific request, as dismissing the case without prejudice would mean he could be prosecuted again. And they criticized the government’s arguments in support of its motion, noting that the department relied heavily on the length of the court battle that’s lasted three years. The lawyers also challenged the idea that outstanding Supreme Court cases that similarly deal with cannabis and federal firearms laws justify dismissal without prejudice. But according to the federal government, the request would be “in the interest of justice,” while recognizing that the constitutionality of the statute in question–18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3)—”remains open both in this case and in the country as a whole. ” “There are currently seven petitions for certiorari pending before the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of § 922(g)(3) under the Second Amendment, six of which involve as-applied challenges, and are a mix of petitions filed by the United States and criminal defendants,” DOJ said, adding that they expect there’s a “reasonable likelihood that the Supreme Court will grant certiorari” in at least one of the pending cases. “Continuing to pursue this case at this time would needlessly waste judicial and prosecutorial resources,” the government’s filing said. “Second Amendment jurisprudence has developed significantly over the past three years. Nevertheless, based on the way the case was litigated three years ago, the Tenth Circuit held that certain arguments were waived and foreclosed the government from addressing them on remand. As a result, the United States believes that the interest of justice favors dismissal in this case to clear the way for a case that does not contain these impediments.” Harrison’s lawyers said in their own filing on Tuesday that they have “no objection to dismissal in general.” However, they emphasized that such a dismissal should be ordered “with prejudice,” making it so he cannot be tried again for the same alleged crime. “The government seeks to abandon this prosecution—for now—while keeping open the ability to prosecute Mr. Harrison again in the future,” his lawyers said. “Its request, if granted, would leave Mr. Harrison under the specter of reindictment at essentially any time, and for illegitimate reasons.” The filing states that the government has acknowledged that part of its rational for making the request is because “it is unprepared for trial, the case is old, and it is constrained by appellate waiver rulings.” “These are litigation choices and resource constraints attributable solely to the prosecution,” it says. “Allowing dismissal without prejudice under these circumstances would permit the government to evade the consequences of its own decisions while keeping Mr. Harrison under indefinite threat of renewed prosecution.” “The possibility that the Supreme Court may take up § 922(g)(3) in another case is not a valid reason to keep Mr. Harrison under threat of reindictment. Rule 48(a) permits dismissal when consistent with the fair administration of justice, not to hold defendants in limbo while appellate strategy plays out elsewhere. If the government believes a forthcoming decision will alter the legal landscape, it remains free to test that decision in a future case—but not at Mr. Harrison’s expense.” The filing says the government’s rationale underscores why the dismissal should be made with prejudice, noting that the prosecution “has already consumed years of litigation, appellate review, and judicial resources.” “Allowing dismissal without prejudice would perpetuate uncertainty, leaving Mr. Harrison indefinitely under the shadow of indictment despite the government’s own admissions that it cannot presently try the case,” it says. “That outcome is contrary to the fairness and integrity Rule 48(a) is designed to protect.” “Where, as here, the government’s justifications rest on the age of the case, questions of resource allocation, and the constraints of prior litigation, the public interest is not served by leaving the door open to renewed prosecution. Finality, fairness, and the protection against harassment all point in one direction: the indictment should be dismissed with prejudice. Mr. Harrison therefore respectfully requests that this Court grant the government’s motion only to the extent of dismissing the indictment with prejudice.” Last month in the case, the Tenth Circuit ruled that the government must prove that people who use marijuana “pose a risk of future danger” if it wants to justify applying a law banning cannabis consumers from owning firearms, siding with a lower district court that dismissed an indictment against Harrison. The Justice Department appealed that ruling in 2023, sending it to the Tenth Circuit. That three-judge panel said in a recent filing that they “agree with much of the district court’s analysis” of the legal considerations, including its challenge to the federal government’s claims that there is historically analogous precedent substantiating the firearm ban for cannabis consumers. Part of DOJ’s argument was that the ban is historically consistent with prohibitions on gun ownership by people with mental illness. The appeals court said “the government cannot justify” the current policy based on that standard. The lower court largely based his initial decision on an interpretation of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in which the justices generally created a higher standard for policies that seek to impose restrictions on gun rights. The ruling states that any such restrictions must be consistent with the historical context of the Second Amendment’s original 1791 ratification. The historical analogues that the Justice Department relied on to make the case that the ban is consistent included references to antiquated case law preventing Catholics, loyalists, slaves and Indians from having guns. The circuit court, for its part, said that “the government must show non-intoxicated marijuana users pose a risk of future danger” to support the current policy. “This inquiry, which may involve fact finding, is best suited for the district court.” This opinion comes nearly a year after the Tenth Circuit heard oral arguments in the case, with judges questioning not only the firearms prohibition itself but also whether it was within the scope of the appeals panel’s power to review the underlying lower court’s decision. Ultimately, they determined that they did possess that authority. Meanwhile, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh District, judges recently ruled in favor of medical cannabis patients who want to exercise their Second Amendment rights to possess firearms. In the background of these developments, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a series of cases challenging the gun ban for people who use marijuana. The Trump administration has asked the high court to hear one of five relevant cases to resolve conflicting lower court decisions on gun rights for cannabis consumers and other illegal drugs from owning firearms and uphold the prohibition. In the request, the solicitor general reiterated his position that, despite recent appeals court decisions calling into question the constitutionality of the firearms ban for people who use cannabis—even in compliance with state law—the restriction is nevertheless lawful. As a recent report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) explained the current legal landscape, a growing number of federal courts are now “finding constitutional problems in the application of at least some parts” of the firearms prohibition. In a July ruling, for instance, a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit vacated a defendant’s conviction and remanded the case back to a district court, noting that a retrial before a jury may be necessary to determine whether cannabis in fact caused the defendant to be dangerous or pose a credible threat to others. By contrast, the Third Circuit earlier this month said in a published opinion that district courts must make “individualized judgments” to determine whether 922(g)(3) is constitutional as applied to particular defendants. The appeals panel ruled that while a person “need not have harmed someone, threatened harm, or otherwise acted dangerously to justify his disarmament,” the history of gun laws in the country requires that “district courts must make individualized judgments and conclude that disarming a drug user is needed to address a risk that he would pose a physical danger to others.” Judges in that case noted that historical restrictions on gun ownership under “drunkenness and lunacy laws” in the U.S. “were still always based on an ‘individualized assessment’ rather than a categorical judgment.” Earlier this year, a federal judge in Rhode Island ruled that the ban was unconstitutional as applied to two defendants, writing that the government failed to establish that the “sweeping” prohibition against gun ownership by marijuana users was grounded in historical precedent. A federal judge in El Paso separately ruled late last year that the government’s ongoing ban on gun ownership by habitual marijuana users is unconstitutional in the case of a defendant who earlier pleaded guilty to the criminal charge. The court allowed the man to withdraw the plea and ordered that the indictment against him be dismissed. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

He listed a number of controversial and unproven factors that he said at the time he would direct the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate as possibly causing the ongoing scourge of mass shooting afflicting the country. “We have to look at whether common psychiatric drugs, as well as genetically engineered cannabis and other narcotics, are causing psychotic breaks” that lead to gun violence, he said. Last year, then-President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was convicted by a federal jury of violating statute by buying and possessing a gun while an active user of crack cocaine. Two Republican congressmen challenged the basis of that conviction, with one pointing out that there are “millions of marijuana users” who own guns but should not be prosecuted. The situation has caused confusion among medical marijuana patients, state lawmakers and advocacy groups, among others. The NRA’s lobbying arm said recently that the court rulings on the cannabis and guns issue have “led to a confusing regulatory landscape” that have impacted Americans’ 2nd Amendment rights. Meanwhile, some states have passed their own laws either further restricting or attempting to preserve gun rights as they relate to marijuana. Recently a Pennsylvania lawmaker introduced a bill meant to remove state barriers to medical marijuana patients carrying firearms. Colorado activists also attempted to qualify an initiative for November’s ballot that would have protected the Second Amendment rights of marijuana consumers in that state, but the campaign’s signature-gathering drive ultimately fell short. As 2024 drew to a close, the ATF issued a warning to Kentucky residents that, if they choose to participate in the state’s medical marijuana program that’s set to launch imminently, they will be prohibited from buying or possessing firearms under federal law. Since then, bipartisan state lawmakers have introduced legislation that would urge Kentucky’s representatives in Congress to amend federal law to clarify that users of medical marijuana may legally possess firearms, though no action has since been taken on that bill. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said in January that he supported the legislature’s effort to urge the state’s congressional delegation to call for federal reforms to protect the 2nd Amendment rights of medical marijuana patients, but the governor added that he’d like to see even more sweeping change on the federal level.
