New Jersey has reintroduced a bill requiring workers' compensation, PIP, and health insurance to cover medical cannabis costs for authorized patients. < Back New Jersey Bill Would Require Workers’ Comp Insurers to Cover Medical Cannabis Mar 19, 2026 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A bill that would require workers’ compensation insurers to cover medical cannabis costs for injured workers has been reintroduced in New Jersey. The proposal mirrors legislation from 2024, which did not move out of the Senate Commerce Committee. “This bill requires workers’ compensation, personal injury protection (PIP), and health insurance coverage for the medical use of cannabis under certain circumstances. The bill provides that personal injury protection automobile insurance benefits, workers’ compensation benefits, and health benefits plans must include coverage for costs associated with the medical use of cannabis, provided that the insured, employee, or covered person is a qualifying patient authorized for the medical use of cannabis pursuant to the ‘Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act.’” — S.1943/A.4371 bill text The bill would require medical cannabis to be considered a compensable medical benefit as long as it’s authorized for the employee’s condition. The legislation specifies that if insurers or employers cannot pay dispensaries directly, they must reimburse workers for the cost of medical cannabis upon proof of payment; however, employers or insurers would not be required to provide reimbursement or coverage if the federal government were to enforce the Controlled Substances Act. The measure is currently being considered by the Senate Commerce Committee. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

The summary covers several topics in cannabis and drug policy: a judge grilling a DEA lawyer over a psychedelic petition delay; lawmakers, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, preparing to push for an exemption to the hemp-derived THC ban for regulated states; Joe Rogan criticizing the recriminalization of hemp products and blaming the alcohol lobby; a study finding cannabis reduces alcohol consumption; Texas advancing hemp age restriction rules; and updates on federal, state, local, and international cannabis policy developments, as well as new science and business reports. < Back Lawmakers Seek Exemptions for States with Strong Hemp Regulations from Federal Ban Nov 20, 2025 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The cannabis world is buzzing with a high-stakes push to protect our favorite plant. Progressive lawmakers are currently rallying to carve out federal exemptions for states that already regulate hemp-derived THC, aiming to bypass the recent nationwide ban. Meanwhile, the DEA is under fire in court for dragging its feet on psychedelic petitions, and even mainstream voices like Joe Rogan are calling out the alcohol lobby for fueling hemp prohibition. On the science side, a new study confirms what many in the community already know: lighting up often leads to drinking less. For everyday tokers, this news is a mixed bag of frustration and hope. While the federal crackdown on hemp is a major buzzkill for accessibility, seeing influential figures and lawmakers fight back shows that the community’s voice is getting louder. The "substitution effect" study is especially vital, providing solid evidence that cannabis can be a healthier alternative to booze. Staying informed on these legal shifts is crucial because they directly impact what you can buy at your local shop and how the culture evolves. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A GOP-controlled congressional committee has scheduled a hearing titled “Invasion of the Homeland: How China is Using Illegal Marijuana to Build a Criminal Network Across America” for Thursday, September 18. This hearing will discuss what is described as a Chinese “invasion” of the U.S. through illicit marijuana operations. Lawmakers have shown increased interest in illicit cannabis grows associated with China, with some reports and senators claiming a proliferation of such activities and connections to Chinese transnational criminal organizations. The prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) also ran an ad arguing that rescheduling cannabis would empower Chinese cartels. The timing of this hearing is significant given current federal marijuana policy developments, including a pending proposal to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Additionally, the House Appropriations Committee passed a bill to block the Justice Department from rescheduling marijuana, and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee approved a bill to repeal a Washington, D.C. law expanding expungements for marijuana possession. < Back Congressional Committee Holds Hearing on Chinese-Linked Illegal Cannabis Grows Sep 12, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A GOP-led House subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for September 18 to investigate what they’re calling a Chinese "invasion" through illicit cannabis farms. Lawmakers are sounding the alarm on a supposed network of underground grows linked to transnational criminal organizations and the Chinese government, with specific concerns raised about operations in states like Oklahoma and Maine. This political push comes at a critical crossroads for federal reform, as the administration weighs moving cannabis to Schedule III. Prohibitionist groups are already using these national security concerns to lobby against rescheduling, while other House committees are actively working to block the DOJ's progress and even roll back local D.C. expungement laws. For the everyday enthusiast, this hearing feels like another attempt to use "reefer madness" style rhetoric to stall common-sense legalization. While stopping illicit operations is important, tying it to a foreign "invasion" to prevent federal rescheduling only keeps the industry in a legal gray area. True progress—like federal oversight and better banking—would actually be the best tool to replace the black market with a safe, regulated community. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
