Rescheduling Rumors Fly but the DOJ Stays Quiet on Progress

While the rumor mill is spinning fast, the Department of Justice currently has no new updates on the federal cannabis rescheduling process. Despite a recent executive order to speed things up, we are still in a waiting game. However, plenty is happening at the state level: Virginia is moving forward with a bill for marijuana resentencing relief, Delaware lawmakers overrode a veto to protect cannabis business locations, and Florida is looking to slash medical card fees for veterans. On the federal front, a new bill aims to get the VA researching psychedelics for veteran care, while gun rights groups are challenging the ban on cannabis users owning firearms in the Supreme Court.

This matters to every toker because it shows that while the feds might be dragging their feet, local momentum for justice and accessibility is stronger than ever. Resentencing and lower fees are huge wins for the community, ensuring that our plant is treated with the fairness and respect it deserves. We’re watching the high-level politics so you can focus on the high-level flower.
