- NEW: Rep. @AOC has again filed an amendment to remove a federal research barrier in the hopes of promoting research into psychedelics like MDMA and psilocybin.
- BREAKING: President Biden has officially signed a bipartisan marijuana research bill—the first time in U.S. history that standalone cannabis reform legislation has been enacted into law like this.
- JUST NOW: The governor of Minnesota has signed a marijuana legalization bill into law. Minnesota becomes 23rd state to end cannabis prohibition.
- WHIPLASH: In stunning reversal, Ohio GOP Senate committee unanimously passes amended cannabis bill that actually *expands* voter-approved legalization law. -Keeps home grow -Allows imminent sales from medical dispensaries -ADDS automatic expungements!!
- .@AndrewYang talked about a bunch of cannabis issues at @NCIAorg's business summit today. He also thanked a dispensary for naming a strain after him—Yang Ganja? Yanganja? spelling not clear.
- BREAKING: DEA proposes reclassifying marijuana under federal law, agreeing that it should be moved from Schedule I to Schedule III.
- NEW: DEA should be removed from marijuana rescheduling hearing due to alleged statutory violations during the rulemaking process—including “unlawful” communications with the prohibitionist group SAM—a legal filing says.
- Twitter has ended a feature that prompted users with federal drug treatment resources if they searched “marijuana.”
- Alright the reveal: Mayor @PeteButtigieg is touring a minority-owned cannabis dispensary in Vegas to talk about his reform agenda. Earlier today he toured a grow house. Stick with me/@MarijuanaMoment for the latest!
- I get that the Emmy’s are tonight… but I just learned that I won Cannabis Policy Reporter of the Year at the @Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference. So thrilled. @MarijuanaMoment cares passionately about our readers and reporting. I’m so happy to see our work recognized. 💚
- NEW: 12 senators—including Schumer, Warren, Fetterman, Sanders, Booker, Merkley, Wyden—tell the attorney general and DEA to fully legalize (not just reschedule) cannabis.
- Biden’s tweet on marijuana pardons got about 280K likes in 4 hours. The last time a @POTUS tweet breached 100K likes was 9/25 when he posted a pic of Commander. I’ve been saying it for a while: Americans like common sense drug policy and good doggos!
- JUST IN: I spoke with the first president of the World Anti-Doping Agency about the origins of the marijuana ban that led to Richardson's suspension. The takeaway? The U.S. in the 1990s bullied the Olympics governing body into creating the prohibition.
