Florida Democratic Chair Slams Federal Hemp Ban, Predicts State Marijuana Legalization Next Year < Back Florida Democratic Chair Criticizes Congress on Hemp Ban and Predicts State Legalization Nov 27, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried isn't holding back after a federal hemp ban was quietly tucked into a recent spending bill. Fried, a long-time advocate who helped build Florida’s hemp scene, describes the move as "gut-wrenching" for small farmers and business owners who have poured their life savings into the industry. This sudden reversal threatens a multi-billion-dollar market and over 400,000 jobs, leaving veterans and seniors who rely on hemp-derived products for wellness in a tough spot. Fried believes the outcry from everyday citizens will eventually force lawmakers to fix this "colossal mistake." On the bright side, she remains optimistic about marijuana rescheduling and expects Florida to successfully pass adult-use legalization on the 2026 ballot despite political hurdles. For everyday tokers, this situation is a stark reminder of how quickly access can be threatened by backroom political deals. Protecting the hemp industry is vital because it provides accessible alternatives to big pharma and serves as a bridge toward broader cannabis acceptance. Encouraging a unified front between hemp and marijuana sectors is the best way to ensure the community keeps its right to choose. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.

- A political warning was issued that Republicans could appropriate the popular issue of cannabis legalization from Democrats, noting its impact on Black Americans and cost to the US. - The Department of Veterans Affairs denied a suicide prevention grant application from a group supporting veteran access to psychedelic therapy. - Virginia unveiled a plan to legalize recreational marijuana sales in 2026, while Texas approved nine new medical marijuana business licenses. - Minnesota lawmakers are advocating for cannabis businesses to offer employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) to secure tax benefits. - California generated $283.7 million in marijuana tax revenue during the third quarter of 2025. - The World Health Organization added cannabis hyperemesis syndrome to its diagnostic manual, and new studies assessed cannabis use effects on cognition in older adults. < Back Could Trump Take Ownership of the Cannabis Issue from Democrats? Dec 3, 2025 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The political landscape is shifting, with new reports suggesting Republicans might try to "steal" the cannabis legalization win from Democrats. Honestly, if both parties start competing to see who can end prohibition faster, the community wins. On the ground, Virginia is finally setting a 2026 launch for recreational sales, while Texas is adding more medical licenses to its growing market. Minnesota is even getting creative, looking at ways for cannabis employees to own a stake in their companies. Science is also giving us some good news, showing that cannabis use isn't inherently bad for the brains of older heads. This matters to everyday tokers because bipartisan competition usually leads to faster reform and better accessibility. When legalization stops being a partisan football and starts being a common-sense policy, we get closer to a world with lower prices, safer labs, and zero fear of the law. It’s a sign that the movement is becoming too big for any politician to ignore. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.

The newsletter covers several topics related to cannabis and psychedelics, including a Gallup poll showing a slight dip in marijuana legalization support, driven by Republicans. It also highlights the pro-legalization stances of incoming governors in Virginia and New Jersey, a study on cannabis drinks reducing alcohol use, and a review on the "surged" use of psilocybin. Other updates include state and local legislative and regulatory actions, international news, and business reports from cannabis companies. < Back Poll Shows Declining Support for Legal Cannabis Among GOP Voters Nov 6, 2025 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The political landscape for cannabis is shifting as 2025 winds down. A recent Gallup poll shows national support for legalization has dipped slightly to 64%, primarily due to a significant drop among Republican voters. However, there’s plenty of reason for tokers to stay optimistic. In Virginia, Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger is ready to greenlight recreational sales, a major win after years of vetoes. Meanwhile, New Jersey’s Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill is pushing for the right to grow at home, which would be a huge leap for consumer freedom and accessibility. On the wellness front, new data suggests cannabis beverages are effectively helping people cut back on alcohol while improving sleep and anxiety. We’re also seeing a massive surge in psilocybin use as therapeutic research expands. For regular users, these updates show that while political polling might fluctuate, the momentum for practical access and better products is still going strong. Having pro-cannabis leaders in the DMV and beyond means we are moving closer to a market that actually serves the community rather than just restricting it. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) advises all safety-sensitive workers must continue to comply with federal drug testing for marijuana, stating the regulations will not change until the cannabis rescheduling process is complete. Former officials suggest that moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III would likely not alter DOT's testing requirements due to the 1991 Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act, which grants the Secretary discretion to test for substances that risk transportation safety. < Back Transportation Department Says Trump’s Rescheduling Order Won’t Immediately Change Drug Testing for Safety Workers Dec 22, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Department of Transportation is playing it safe for now, despite the recent executive order regarding cannabis rescheduling. The DOT recently clarified that for "safety-sensitive" workers—like pilots, truck drivers, and train engineers—the rules haven’t shifted an inch. Even if marijuana eventually moves to Schedule III, the agency suggests that existing laws give them the discretion to keep testing for it by name to ensure public safety. Essentially, until the ink is dry on the rescheduling and internal policies are updated, it’s business as usual for federal drug testing. This is a critical reminder for our community that while political winds are shifting, federal employment protections are lagging. For tokers in the transportation sector, this means you still have to be incredibly careful with your off-clock consumption. It highlights a major hurdle in the legalization movement: the disconnect between scientific evidence—which shows blood THC isn't a reliable measure of actual impairment—and outdated workplace regulations. We need to keep pushing for testing methods that actually measure safety rather than just past behavior. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cookies & Alt Sol "Ridgeline Lantz" Strain Review - Takoma Wellness Center Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree.
