A new scientific review concludes that “U.S. drug policy does not align with experts’ rankings of drug harms”—finding, for example, that “cannabis was rated as less harmful than its Schedule I status suggests.” Realm of Caring Executive Director Sasha Kalcheff-Korn argues in a new Marijuana Moment op-ed that for hemp farmers and patients who rely on CBD, delaying the federal recriminalization of hemp products is “just a band-aid” and that “regulatory certainty” is needed. The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation revised guidance to attempt to clarify whether medical marijuana patients can buy from licensed dispensaries as adult-use consumers—though purchase limit rules complicate the situation. */ FEDERAL* White House Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Sara Carter Bailey said officials are seeing fentanyl “laced in vapes and marijuana.” Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) tweeted, “Rescheduling marijuana to a Schedule III substance will put more money in the pockets of marijuana companies & will have detrimental effects on the health and safety of Americans, especially our nation’s youth.” Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said in a press release about the Senate Judiciary Committee’s approval of President Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney for Maine that she’s concerned about “illegal Chinese marijuana grow houses” in her state. */ STATES* The Maine legislature’s Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee is considering a bill to legalize marijuana consumption lounges.

Cannabis retailers in Montana have exceeded $1 billion in sales since the adult-use market launched in January 2022, generating approximately $217 million in tax revenue. However, Governor Greg Gianforte vetoed a bill that would have allowed tribal nations and the state to establish compacts for regulating cannabis on reservations. < Back Montana Surpasses $1 Billion In Total Adult-Use Cannabis Sales Jan 19, 2026 Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Cannabis retailers in Montana have sold over $1 billion in cannabis products since the adult-use market’s launch in January 2022, the Montana Free Press reports. Retail licensees set a new annual cannabis sales record last year of $327 million, with adult-use sales accounting for 90% of the total. Medical cannabis has accounted for less and less of the annual sales total with each year since the adult-use market launched. Montana collects a 20% tax on adult-use cannabis sales and a 4% tax on medical cannabis sales. In the four years since legalizing adult-use cannabis, Montana has generated about $217 million in cannabis-derived tax revenues — about $207 million from adult-use taxes, and just under $10 million from the medical market. Meanwhile, lawmakers last year passed a bill to let tribal nations and the state government establish compacts to legalize and regulate cannabis on a per-reservation basis. However, Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) vetoed the proposal, calling the legislation “unnecessary and duplicative.” < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cake Boss - Fluent, Clearwater (Florida Medical) Cake Boss, available at Fluent dispensary in Clearwater, Florida, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) th...

A petition drive in Maine seeking to repeal recreational marijuana has drawn numerous complaints about signature gatherers using deceptive tactics to mislead citizens about the ballot measure's true purpose. Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has no authority to take enforcement action regarding the truthfulness of what petitioners say due to First Amendment protections, instead encouraging citizens to read the legislation carefully before signing. < Back Maine Secretary Of State Notes Complaints About Anti-Marijuana Ballot Petitioners’ Tactics Jan 13, 2026 Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *“We really encourage citizens to think about what you’re signing, why you’re signing it, and what it means.”* *By Emma Davis, Maine Morning Star* In downtown Portland, as hundreds of Mainers gathered for an anti-ICE protest Saturday, others were there to gather signatures for a petition to repeal recreational marijuana in Maine. Though, they didn’t present it as such. It’s about the testing of cannabis, one petitioner said. Misrepresentation of this citizen initiative by signature gatherers has been documented across the state over the last few days. On Monday, state legislators asked the overseer of elections, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D), what could be done about it. “Petitioners have a First Amendment right to say whatever they want to say,” Bellows said during a meeting of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee. Sen. Craig Hickman (D-Kennebec), committee co-chair, chimed in, “You have a right to lie under the First Amendment.” Maine has a citizen-initiated referendum process that allows average people to propose statutes or constitutional amendments to be put on the ballot if they gather enough signatures. Bellows doesn’t have the authority to take any enforcement action over the truth of what is being said about such petitions, only about the validity of what’s in the text, underscoring the legal limits to combatting misinformation. “We really encourage citizens to think about what you’re signing, why you’re signing it, and what it means, and to take the time to read the legislation,” Bellows said. In 2016, Maine voters legalized the recreational use of cannabis. The proposed ballot referendum would do away with the commercial cultivation, sale, purchase and manufacture of cannabis starting in 2028, while still allowing personal use and possession of up to 2.5 ounces. It would also create new testing and tracking requirements on medical cannabis, which the industry has resisted in recent years. It is not uncommon for someone to sign a petition thinking it is about something else. In 2024, for example, a person collecting signatures to try to get an independent candidate on the presidential ballot in Maine instead told people who ended up signing the petition that it was an effort to stop politicians from being able to trade stocks. The signees only later found out the true contents of what they’d signed when a law firm representing others who fell victim to the deceptive practices contacted them. This issue is also not unique to Maine. Nearby Massachusetts has a similar referendum effort underway to recriminalize cannabis in that state, and witnesses there have also accused signature-gatherers of misleading people, such as saying the effort was for affordable housing, reducing impaired driving or protecting youth from being jailed for cannabis. The Massachusetts Secretary of State and Attorney General Office’s issued a joint advisory urging voters to read petitions carefully before signing and to contact local officials if they believe they were deceived. Maine’s Department of the Secretary of State relies on the signature validation process to identify potential violations. For example, the petition paperwork available to signees must include a copy of the actual statutory changes that would be made to the law should the referendum pass. Petitions also can’t be left unattended at a location, such as a campaign placing one by the door of an event and encouraging people to sign it on their way out. Only one person can circulate a given petition and that person has to personally witness each signature, taking an oath before a notary to as much. Expressing frustration with a few bad actors spoiling the referendum process for others, Assistant Senate Majority Leader Jill Duson (D-Cumberland) suggested creating a process to file complaints, though limited department resources and time would present challenges for that to work in practice. Absent enforcement authority, Bellows said she would tell the petition organizers that her department has received a significant number of complaints over the last several days about the activities of their circulators. Ultimately, as Hickman put it, when it comes to regulating this type of malfeasance: “It’s a gentleman’s agreement. It’s an honor system. People have to act as if they’re going to respect the letter of the law. There are bad actors and there are outlaws and there are people that are just going to do what they’re going to do, and there’s nothing any of us can do about it.” *This story was first published by Maine Morning Star.* *Photo courtesy of Philip Steffan.* The post Maine Secretary Of State Notes Complaints About Anti-Marijuana Ballot Petitioners’ Tactics appeared first on Marijuana Moment. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cake Boss - Fluent, Clearwater (Florida Medical) Cake Boss, available at Fluent dispensary in Clearwater, Florida, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) th...

Thom Tillis (R-NC), who said broader federal cannabis reform could help to “capture revenue.” Three GOP senators—Sens. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND)—spoke to Marijuana Moment about the impact of President Donald Trump potentially rescheduling cannabis, with two of them saying it would be a “game changer.” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he’s aware President Donald Trump is “getting pressure” to reschedule marijuana but argued that cannabis has “taken lives” and is “really addictive.” - “At a time when culture is pushing and celebrating the use of marijuana, we’re not talking about the risk… I’m not a supporter of legalizing it.” The Virginia Joint Commission to Oversee the Transition of the Commonwealth into a Cannabis Retail Market held a hearing on issues related to expanding from medical marijuana to a full-scale recreational cannabis market—with presentations focused on ensuring a fair and competitive industry that doesn’t disproportionately benefit existing multi-state operators while limiting opportunities for newer, smaller businesses.
