Two bills in South Dakota aim to change the state's medical cannabis program: SB.181 would repeal the law if cannabis is federally rescheduled to Schedule III, and SB.194 would impose various THC caps on products like flower, edibles, oils, and concentrates. Both proposals, sponsored by Senator John Carley, are currently before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. < Back South Dakota Bill Would End Medical Cannabis Program if Federal Government Reschedules Cannabis Feb 12, 2026 TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Two bills in South Dakota aim to make changes to the state’s medical cannabis program, KOTA reports. SB.181 would repeal the state’s medical cannabis law if and when the federal government moves cannabis from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act. The law would eliminate the medical cannabis program 90 days after the federal changes. President Donald Trump (R) signed an executive order in December 2025 that directs the government to move cannabis to Schedule III. State Senator John Carley (R), the sponsor of both bills, told KOTA that once the federal reforms are finalized, cannabis “moves into a category of basically medicine” and that the legislation aligns the state “with that movement.” SB.194 would impose the cap, limiting THC in flower to 30%, imposing a 5 milligram per serving and 100 milligram per package THC cap on edibles, a 5% THC cap on “cannabis oils,” and a 60% cap on concentrates, according to the bill text. Both proposals are currently in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. Carley has also introduced legislation this session to ban the retail sale of hemp-derived THC products and ban the sale of kratom products in the state. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Blue Lobster - The Flowery (Florida Medical) Snagging Blue Lobster from The Flowery in Florida feels like reeling in a rare catch—those award-winning Maine Trees buds live up to the hype of being as elusive as the 1-in-2-million blue lobster they're named for.

The bill (HB 1003) would work the same way Florida law does now in banning driving with open containers of alcohol, Rep. Black told members of the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee Thursday. < Back Florida Lawmakers Approve Bill To Punish Medical Marijuana Patients For Having Open Containers Of Cannabis In Cars Feb 7, 2026 Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Citing statistics showing that impaired drivers contribute to more than 30 percent of fatalities on Florida roads, Jacksonville Republican Rep. Dean Black introduced legislation Thursday that would ban medical marijuana patients from possessing open containers of cannabis. The prohibition would apply if they were driving or a passenger in a vehicle, with the penalty being the loss of their medical marijuana card after committing a third such violation. The bill (HB 1003) would work the same way Florida law does now in banning driving with open containers of alcohol, Rep. Black told members of the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee Thursday. “We are trying to make sure that we establish—like we did with alcohol—a taboo. It’s wrong. It has to stop,” he said. Black cited an Ohio study published last fall showing that, over six years, 40% of drivers who died in motor vehicle collisions had tested positive for THC in their system—and said he had plenty of anecdotal evidence that this is also happening in Florida. “I was in Tallahassee and watched two people who were in front of me at a light on Monroe Street, and they were passing a bong between the windows of their car,” he said, eliciting laughs from some lawmakers. “It’s ridiculous. It’s killing people.” Among the concerns opponents expressed is that the bill says that a county or municipality “may” adopt an ordinance that imposes more stringent restrictions than simply the removal of one’s medical marijuana card. Mixed public comment “Does that mean that this civil offense in this bill can all of a sudden become a criminal offense if you’ve got some sheriff, police chief, or judge in some local municipality who really has these archaic ideas of ‘stoned and drive, ‘bong hits,’ ‘smoking pot in your vehicle?’” said William Dale Clark, quoting comments made by Black, during public comment. “No, these are medical patients, guys. This is state sanctioned.” “The local part concerns us considerably,” said Jodi James of the Florida Cannabis Action Network. “That I might be guilty of one crime in Brevard County and guilty of another crime in Volusia County?” “Are you treating me as a patient who is legally using medical marijuana the same way that you are treating your daughter who legally uses an anti-depressant?” James added. The bill defines open container for the driver of a vehicle as being “readily accessible to the operator while he or she is in a seated position.” For a passenger, it is defined as being “in the physical control of the passenger.” “There was talk here today about constitutional rights,” countered Barney Bishop of the Florida Smart Justice Alliance. “I don’t know of any constitutional right that says that you can take any drug that you want, and you have a constitutional right to be high, be on the road, and seriously injure somebody, or kill. Do we think that’s somehow okay? It’s not. We’re not taking medical marijuana users from the ability to take their medicine.” Rep. Mike Gottlieb, D-Davie, a criminal defense attorney, said the problem with testing for marijuana is that THC remains detectable in an individual’s system (for 30 days on average) long after they are no longer impaired. He added that medical marijuana was being treated differently than having an open container of other medications, with the penalty being the ultimate removal of a medical marijuana card. “Yet you don’t do the same thing if you have an Oxycodone,” he said. Rep. Jessica Baker, R-Jacksonville, also an attorney, argued the measure wasn’t about criminalizing medical marijuana, but about public safety and consistency with the law. “Florida already prohibits open containers of alcohol in vehicles, even though alcohol is legal for adults. We do that because consuming an impairing substance while driving puts everyone on the road at risk, and medical marijuana is no different in that respect.” The proposal passed the committee on a party-line vote, with all five Democrats opposing the measure. Black said he is amenable to changing the punishment of an individual losing their medical marijuana card after three offenses. “How about 6, 10, 20? How about we strike it all together, and under no circumstance would you lose your medical marijuana card and it’s simply be the non-moving traffic violation that is now. We can have that conversation.” The measure has two more stops in the House. Its Senate companion (SB 1056) has yet to be heard in any committee. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Blue Lobster - The Flowery (Florida Medical) Snagging Blue Lobster from The Flowery in Florida feels like reeling in a rare catch—those award-winning Maine Trees buds live up to the hype of being as elusive as the 1-in-2-million blue lobster they're named for.

A Virginia bill setting up a regulated adult-use cannabis market advanced from the Senate Courts of Justice Committee with amendments adding harsher penalties for illegal sales, buying without a license, and underage possession. These penalties, which include a Class 1 misdemeanor for first offenses, aim to align cannabis crimes with alcohol laws and incentivize the legal market; another amendment restored the current law punishing illegal possession of over five pounds with the intent to sell. < Back Virginia Senate Committee Adds Harsher Penalties to Cannabis Retail Proposal Feb 10, 2026 TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Virginia bill to set up a regulated adult-use cannabis market advanced last week from the Senate Courts of Justice Committee with amendments from the chair that add harsher penalties for illegal cannabis sales, buying cannabis from someone without a retail license, and underage possession, Virginia Public Media reports. Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D), the committee chair, argued that cannabis-related crimes should align with those the state imposes for alcohol, and that without penalties, there would be no incentive for people utilize the legal market. One amendment would impose a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine, for a first conviction for illegal sales. The penalty for that crime in the original version of the bill imposed a Class 2 misdemeanor charge. Another amendment would impose a Class 1 misdemeanor for buying cannabis from someone without a license and for underage possession. Under the previous version of the bill, underage possession only called for a $25 fine and substance abuse and cannabis education class requirements. Surovell said people under 21 convicted of these crimes could have the charges deferred or dismissed, and that the aim of the harsher penalties for youth was to draw parallels between cannabis and alcohol. Another amendment keeps some of the state’s current cannabis laws intact – such as illegal possession of more than five pounds of cannabis with the intent to sell, which is punishable with between five and 30 years in prison. That law was repealed in the original version of the legislation. The amended version of the bill passed out of the committee. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Blue Lobster - The Flowery (Florida Medical) Snagging Blue Lobster from The Flowery in Florida feels like reeling in a rare catch—those award-winning Maine Trees buds live up to the hype of being as elusive as the 1-in-2-million blue lobster they're named for.

The Ohio cannabis industry is divided over a proposed referendum by Ohioans for Cannabis Choice to repeal Senate Bill 56, a new law that reduces THC limits in recreational marijuana, bans intoxicating hemp products, and implements new restrictions. Supporters of the law, including the Ohio Cannabis Coalition, view it as a necessary refinement to protect public health and close loopholes, while opponents argue the law is government overreach and an attack on consumer rights. < Back Ohio Cannabis Industry Divided Over Referendum To Block Marijuana And Hemp Restrictions Feb 8, 2026 Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *“The referendum effort is about putting profits from unregulated intoxicating hemp and gas station weed sales above people.”* *By Megan Henry, Ohio Capital Journal* Ohioans for Cannabis Choice can start collecting signatures to get a referendum on the ballot to block a law that will change the state’s voter-passed recreational marijuana law and ban intoxicating hemp products. But there are others in the industry that don’t agree with the new effort. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost approved summary language this week for the proposed referendum that would repeal Ohio Senate Bill 56, set to take effect March 20. Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed the bill into law on December 19. Yost’s approval comes after he initially rejected the language due to “omissions and misstatements,” but Ohioans for Cannabis Choice made changes to the language and re-submitted the petition. “My certification…should not be construed as an affirmation of the enforceability and constitutionality of the referendum petition,” Yost wrote in the letter certifying the petition. Ohioans voted to legalize marijuana in 2023, recreational sales started in August 2024, and sales totaled more than $836 million in 2025. The new law 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. It prohibits possessing marijuana in anything outside of its original packaging and criminalizes bringing legal marijuana from another state back to Ohio. The legislation also requires drivers to store marijuana in the trunk of their car while driving. The Ohio Cannabis Coalition opposes the possible referendum. “S.B. 56 upholds the will of Ohio voters by preserving a safe, regulated adult-use cannabis market while closing dangerous loopholes that allowed untested, intoxicating hemp products and out-of-state marijuana to flood Ohio shelves,” said OHCANN Executive Director David Bowling. Ohio’s marijuana customers won’t notice any changes under the new law, said Pete Nischt, vice president of compliance and communications for Klutch Cannabis, which has dispensaries in Northeast Ohio. “The person that is currently accessing the legal marijuana market in Ohio is not going to see any difference after the effective date [of S.B. 56],” he said. The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the group behind Issue 2 on the 2023 ballot, also opposes the attempted referendum. “S.B. 56 is a common-sense refinement of Issue 2,” the coalition said in a statement. “S.B. 56 honors the will of Ohio voters while protecting public health. The referendum effort is about putting profits from unregulated intoxicating hemp and gas station weed sales above people.” Wesley Bryant, owner of 420 Craft Beverage in Cleveland, supports the referendum effort, saying the legislation is “an attack on consumer rights.” “Ohioans have been buying these products because they relieve stress, help people sleep at night, give relief to veterans with PTSD, and help some people who suffer from addiction,” Bryant said in a statement. “S.B. 56 is mean-spirited and rife with unintended bad consequences, and we are going to give voters a chance to say no to this harmful legislation.” Joey Ellwood, a hemp farmer in Tuscarawas County, called the law government overreach. “The people spoke in 2023 when they overwhelmingly voted to legalize cannabis, and we are going to allow them to speak once again this November by voting no on S.B. 56,” Ellwood said in a statement. Ohioans for Cannabis Choice needs to collect 6 percent of the total number of votes cast in the most recent gubernatorial election (248,092) to get on the Nov. 3 ballot. 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 of state 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.* The post Ohio Cannabis Industry Divided Over Referendum To Block Marijuana And Hemp Restrictions appeared first on Marijuana Moment. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Blue Lobster - The Flowery (Florida Medical) Snagging Blue Lobster from The Flowery in Florida feels like reeling in a rare catch—those award-winning Maine Trees buds live up to the hype of being as elusive as the 1-in-2-million blue lobster they're named for.

Virginia lawmakers have advanced several cannabis bills, including proposals to: - Expand legal protections for hospital workers assisting terminally ill patients with medical marijuana, contingent on federal rescheduling. - Establish a commercial market for recreational cannabis sales, with different start dates proposed by the Senate (January 1, 2027) and the House (November 1 of this year). - Mandate automatic resentencing hearings for individuals convicted of certain felony marijuana offenses that occurred before the state legalized personal possession in July 2021. < Back Virginia Lawmakers Approve Bills To Expand Medical Marijuana Access In Hospitals Feb 11, 2026 Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Virginia Senate has approved a bill to provide legal protections for hospital workers to facilitate the use of medical marijuana for patients with terminal illnesses in their facilities, so long as cannabis is federally rescheduled. At the same time, a House subcommittee advanced a pair of proposals that share the goal of permitting medical marijuana access to seriously ill patients in health facilities—though they take a different approach to the issue. The Senate passed its version of the legislation, sponsored by Sen. Barbara Favola (D), in a 39-1 vote on Tuesday—about a week after the proposal unanimously advanced through the Senate Education and Health Committee. SB 332 would build upon existing state law protecting health professionals at hospices and nursing facilities that assist terminally ill patients in utilizing medical cannabis treatment. Those protections would be expanded to hospital workers. “Cannabis oil has been effective in ameliorating some severe pain and also helping with nausea and appetite loss,” Favola said ahead of the Senate vote on Tuesday. “This bill has a couple guardrails in it, and we’re merely trying to treat patients in hospitals and give them the same options as we’ve currently giving patients in nursing homes and in hospice.” As originally introduced, the measure would have simply directed the state the Department of Health to form a working group to explore the reform, but its scope was expanded in an earlier subcommittee hearing. Unlike other states where similar laws are in place or being considered this session—a policy known as “Ryan’s law,” named after a young medical marijuana patient in California who passed away—the Virginia bill would only extend the protections to hospital settings if cannabis is federally rescheduled. Advocates are working to remove that restrictive language, however. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in December directing the attorney general to expeditiously move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), but that’s yet to materialize. On the House side, the Health and Human Services Health Subcommittee also met on Tuesday and merged a pair of bills that are also aligned with the intent of Ryan’s law legislation but take a different approach to the issue. HB 75 from Del. Karen Keys-Gamarra (D), into which the panel incorporated Del. Irene Shin’s (D) HB 486, would require healthcare facilities to establish policies “to address circumstances under which an eligible patient would be permitted to use medical cannabis.” Smoking and vaping would be prohibited under the measure, which like the Senate bill would also not take effect until federal marijuana rescheduling is completed. Under the amended House bill, healthcare facilities could suspend medical cannabis allowances if a federal agency such as the Department of Justice or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services takes enforcement action on the issue or issues a rule or notification expressly prohibiting use of medical cannabis in health facilities. The subcommittee approved the amended and merged legislation in a 7-0 vote. Meanwhile in Virginia, lawmakers are also considering more robust reforms to the state’s marijuana laws, including proposals to legalize recreational cannabis sales. The Senate Courts of Justice Committee passed an amended version of that bill last week, drawing criticism from advocates over changes that would impose new penalties on certain cannabis-related activities such as underage possession and unlicensed cultivation of marijuana that could carry the threat of jail time. A coalition of reform groups has since sent a letter to the Senate Finance Committee, where the measure was transmitted, imploring members to roll back those amendments. The advancement of the commercial sales bill as amended comes about a week after the House General Laws Committee approved a companion version of the legislation, sponsored by Del. Paul Krizek (D). As approved in committee, the legislation largely aligns with recommendations released in December by the legislature’s Joint Commission to Oversee the Transition of the Commonwealth into a Cannabis Retail Market. Since legalizing cannabis possession and home cultivation in 2021, Virginia lawmakers have worked to establish a commercial marijuana market—only to have those efforts consistently stalled under former Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who twice vetoed measures to enact it that were sent to his desk by the legislature. The Senate version calls for sales to start on January 1, 2027, while the House bill stipulates that adult-use cannabis sales could begin on November 1 of this year. *Here are the key details of the Virginia marijuana sales legalization legislation:* - Adults would be able to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana in a single transaction, or up to an equivalent amount of other cannabis products as determined by regulators. - The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority would oversee licensing and regulation of the new industry. Its board of directors would have the authority to control possession, sale, transportation, distribution, delivery and testing of marijuana. - A tax of up to 12.625 percent would apply to the retail sale of any cannabis product. That would include a state retail and use tax of 1.125 percent on top of a new marijuana-specific tax of 8 percent. Local governments could levy an additional 3.5 percent. - Tax revenue would be split between the costs of administering and enforcing the state’s marijuana system, a new Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Fund, pre-kindergarten programs, substance use disorder prevention and treatment programs and public health programs such as awareness campaigns designed to prevent drug-impaired driving and discourage underage consumption. - Local governments could not opt out of allowing marijuana businesses to operate in their area. - Delivery services would be allowed. - Serving sizes would be capped at 10 milligrams THC, with no more than 100 mg THC per package. - Existing medical cannabis operators could enter the adult-use market if they pay a $10 million licensing conversion fee. - Cannabis businesses would have to establish labor peace agreements with workers. - A legislative commission would be directed to study adding on-site consumption licenses and microbusiness cannabis event permits that would allow licensees to conduct sales at venues like farmers markets or pop-up locations. It would also investigate the possibility of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority becoming involved in marijuana regulations and enforcement. Newly sworn-in Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) supports legalizing adult-use marijuana sales. *— Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

A House companion version from Del. Rozia Henson, Jr. (D) also advanced recently. The legislation would create a process by which people who are incarcerated or on community supervision for certain felony offenses involving the possession, manufacture, selling or distribution of marijuana could receive an automatic hearing to consider modification of their sentences. The bill applies to people whose convictions or adjudications are for conduct that occurred prior to July 1, 2021, when a state law legalizing personal possession and home cultivation of marijuana went into effect. The panel adopted a series of technical changes to the legislation prior to approving it. Separately, the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry recently published a new outlining workplace protections for cannabis consumers.

Florida senators approved a bill (SB 1032) to increase medical marijuana supply limits, reduce the veteran identification card fee from $75 to $15, and extend the required patient re-evaluation period to 52 weeks. Separately, the Florida Supreme Court closed a case concerning a marijuana legalization ballot initiative after the campaign was found to have fallen short of the required signature count. < Back Florida Senators Approve Bill To Increase Medical Marijuana Supply Limits And Slash Patient Fees For Veterans Feb 12, 2026 Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Florida senators have approved an amended bill to increase the amount of medical marijuana a registered patient can buy and slash the fee for medical cannabis identification cards for military veterans. At a hearing before the Senate Health Policy Committee on Wednesday, members advanced the legislation from Sen. Alexis Calatayud (R) in a vote of 10-1 after adopting a substitute version. Under the proposal as amended, a doctor would be able to recommend up to five 70-day supply limits of cannabis or up to 10 35-day supply limits of smokable marijuana products. Under current law, they can only provide recommendations for a maximum of three 70-day supply limits for non-smokable cannabis and six 35-day supply limits for smokable marijuana. The bill, SB 1032, would further make it so doctors would need to evaluate patients for medical marijuana qualification every 52 weeks, rather than the current statutory requirement of evaluations every 30 weeks. A similar version of medical cannabis legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Bill Partington (R) in late December. Calatayud’s proposal as amended in committee would additionally reduce the fee for medical cannabis identification cards for honorably discharged veterans to $15—down from the current $75 fee for most qualifying patients. Two House panels have advanced separate standalone legislation from Reps. Susan Valdés (R) and Michelle Salzman (R) that would similarly reduce veterans’ medical marijuana card fee to $15. If enacted into law, the broader Senate bill would take effect on July 1, 2026. Wednesday’s committee vote comes after the Senate Regulated Industries Committee passed separate legislation to ban smoking or vaping marijuana in public places. Rep. Alex Andrade (R) is sponsoring a similar bill to ban public cannabis smoking in the House. *—* *Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Meanwhile, the Florida Supreme Court last week cancelled oral arguments and closed a case concerning a marijuana legalization ballot initiative that was under review at the request of the state attorney general. Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) notified the court on Monday that he was withdrawing his request for a legal review into the cannabis measure because election officials determined the campaign behind it had fallen short of the signature requirements for ballot placement. But while the campaign urged the court to reject the notice of dismissal, contesting the signature count, justices on Wednesday accepted the attorney general’s motion. Smart & Safe Florida has disputed the secretary of state’s signature count, claiming the campaign submitted over 1.4 million petitions—hundreds of thousands more than the 880,062 valid signatures required to go before voters. In a filing with the Supreme Court, Uthmeier said his office was withdrawing its earlier request for a legal review in the constitutionality of the proposed cannabis initiative because the state claims the campaign submitted an insufficient number of signed petitions. The last count, according to the secretary of state’s office, was 783,592 validated signatures. *Photo courtesy of Brian Shamblen.* The post Florida Senators Approve Bill To Increase Medical Marijuana Supply Limits And Slash Patient Fees For Veterans appeared first on Marijuana Moment. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Blue Lobster - The Flowery (Florida Medical) Snagging Blue Lobster from The Flowery in Florida feels like reeling in a rare catch—those award-winning Maine Trees buds live up to the hype of being as elusive as the 1-in-2-million blue lobster they're named for.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine criticized advocates fighting new legislative restrictions on hemp and cannabis products for "whining," asserting the changes align with voter intent. The campaign successfully revised its ballot summary language and must now collect nearly 250,000 signatures by mid-March to qualify for the November ballot. < Back Ohio Gov. Says Advocates Challenging New Cannabis Rules Should Stop ‘Whining’ Feb 11, 2026 Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said that advocates with the Ohioans for Cannabis Choice campaign to repeal recently adopted restrictions on hemp and cannabis products should stop “whining” about the policy change, the Ohio Capital Journal reports. The campaign argues that the changes — which created new criminal penalties for possessing out-of-state cannabis products and banned intoxicating hemp products outright — represent “government overreach” and violate the will of Ohio voters, who approved the state’s adult-use cannabis policy in 2023. But the governor said last week of the Legislature’s changes, “I think we’re very consistent with what voters intended.” “I think the proponents should be happy with their victory at the polls, instead of now going back and whining about something the legislature has done, which frankly, I think is very consistent with what the average voter was thinking when they went in to vote.” — Gov. DeWine, in the report Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost rejected the campaign’s proposed ballot summary language in January, concluding the title and language were not “a fair and truthful representation of the measure.” But after revisions, Yost certified the campaign’s new summary language last week. The campaign has until mid-March to collect the nearly 250,000 voter signatures required to qualify for November ballots. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Blue Lobster - The Flowery (Florida Medical) Snagging Blue Lobster from The Flowery in Florida feels like reeling in a rare catch—those award-winning Maine Trees buds live up to the hype of being as elusive as the 1-in-2-million blue lobster they're named for.

An Alaska legislative task force recommended that the state move to allow the regulated use of psychedelic medicines, such as psilocybin and MDMA, immediately upon receiving FDA medical approval, particularly noting their potential to treat conditions like PTSD in veterans and survivors of violence. The task force also advised implementing "trigger legislation" to streamline the regulatory process, mirroring federal scheduling, and prioritizing patient safety and access, especially for veterans. < Back Alaska Government Task Force Recommends Legalizing Psychedelic Therapy Upon FDA Approval Feb 9, 2026 Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link An Alaska psychedelics task force is recommending that the state move forward with plans to provide regulated access to psychedelics if the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizes the medical use of substances like psilocybin and MDMA. After about a year of work studying the issue under a law enacted in 2024, the Alaska Legislative Task Force for the Regulation of Psychedelic Medicines on Thursday unveiled its findings and recommendations. “Alaska has some of the highest rates in the nation of domestic violence survivors and combat veterans who experience PTSD, and many of these Alaskans continue to struggle with traditional treatments,” Sen. Forrest Dunbar (D), co-chair of the task force, said in a press release. “Our approach to these new medical therapies needs to be properly and independently evaluated to ensure that if the legislature were to make policy changes, we do so with empirical data in a properly controlled environment,” the senator said. The panel’s report lists a series of findings, informed by a review of scientific literature and expert testimony.That includes findings that certain psychedelics do, in fact, possess “potential therapeutic uses,” and “there is particular focus on use of these therapies for veterans, survivors of assault and interpersonal violence, and others with treatment-resistant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).” Members emphasized the importance of administering psychedelic therapies in a collaborative way with “multiple provider types” to deliver a comprehensive treatment approach, rather than leaving it up to the individual patient to navigate. Chief among its recommendations, the task force said: “If and when psychedelic medicine therapies are FDA approved, the state should take action to allow for their use in Alaska, rather than prohibiting use.” Alaska regulators should also identify clinical working groups “whose function is to regularly review updated studies and the evidence base to make recommendations, and rely on these entities to provide ongoing guidance on use of these therapies,” it said. “To the extent possible, reserve use of state statute for broad enabling language and key components of a regulatory structure, and leave most regulatory decisions to the relevant boards and agencies,” another recommendation states. “Regulations still require robust public process in order to be adopted, but can be updated or modified more predictably and easily than statute changes, which require an act of the Legislature.” “It is likely that appropriate parameters for use of these therapies will change over time, as the evidence base matures and FDA approval may be granted for multiple therapies,” it said. Should FDA proceed with approving any given psychedelic for medical use, the panel said the Alaska State Medical Board should update its guidance for prescribing controlled substances to incorporate the novel therapies. Also if FDA approves psychedelic medicines, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) follows suit by federally rescheduling substances like psilocybin, Alaska should “fully mirror federal scheduling and Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) without adding duplicative or conflicting state rules, and follow any rules regarding whether DEA licensure is required for prescribers,” the report says. “This approach respects federal science and streamlines access for patients and providers,” it continues. Additionally, as lawmakers and regulators await a federal decision on advancing psychedelic therapies, the state should look into legislation to “prompt implementation actions at the state level to include the recommendations made in this report.” “Trigger legislation would require addressing several process and regulatory questions, such as the role and involvement of professional licensing boards, state agencies, and the Controlled Substance Advisory Committee,” the task force said. The report further says that psychedelics reform should prioritize military veterans’ access to FDA-approved therapies, which may involve collaborating with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to identify opportunities for participation in clinical trials and pilot programs utilizing the novel drugs. “Advocacy should be considered to ensure active efforts by the American Medical Association, (AMA) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, (CMS) on developing billing codes that will promote sufficient reimbursement for psychedelic therapy delivery are vital to ensuring patient access post-FDA approval,” the panel said. Rep. Justin Ruffridge (R), who also serves as co-chair of the psychedelics panel, said the task force was “focused on preparing Alaska for potential federal approval of psychedelic therapies.” “These recommendations came from months of collaboration and work by medical professionals, advocates, and legislators who focused on patient safety, evidence-based care, and access, especially for those who haven’t seen progress through traditional treatments,” he said. So far two other states have facilitated psychedelics programs that are fully operational. Oregon voters legalized therapeutic psilocybin in 2020, and Colorado’s program was passed at the ballot box in 2022, with the state’s governor signing legislation a year later to create the regulatory framework for the program. Meanwhile, an Alaska campaign announced in December that it failed to collect enough signatures to put an initiative to legalize certain psychedelics such as psilocybin and DMT on the state’s 2026 ballot—but activists emphasized that the “work is far from over” as they shift focus to placing the reform measure before voters in 2028. “While we won’t appear on the 2026 ballot, we remain fully on track for 2028, and we will continue moving forward with determination, focus, and the support of our community,” Natural Medicine Alaska said in December. “This movement is gaining momentum every day. In fact, over 65 percent of Alaskans support this initiative–and that number continues to grow.” An earlier policy outline from the campaign explained that the proposal is “building off of” Colorado’s voter-approved 2022 Natural Medicine Health Act, under which facilitators last year administered the state’s first legal dose of psilocybin. A poll in 2024 found that nearly half (49.4 percent) of Alaska adults would support a ballot measure to more broadly remove criminal penalties for using substances such as psilocybin mushrooms. That support rose markedly—to nearly two thirds (65 percent)—when participants were told that Alaska has high rates of mental illnesses that could potentially be treated with psychedelics. *Photo elements courtesy of carlosemmaskype and Apollo.* The post Alaska Government Task Force Recommends Legalizing Psychedelic Therapy Upon FDA Approval appeared first on Marijuana Moment. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Blue Lobster - The Flowery (Florida Medical) Snagging Blue Lobster from The Flowery in Florida feels like reeling in a rare catch—those award-winning Maine Trees buds live up to the hype of being as elusive as the 1-in-2-million blue lobster they're named for.
