4 In 5 Marijuana Consumers Oppose Hemp THC Ban Trump Signed Ahead Of Rescheduling And CBD Access Order, Poll Shows < Back 4 in 5 Cannabis Consumers Oppose Federal Hemp THC Ban Signed by Trump Jan 1, 2026 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link According to a new poll from NuggMD, an overwhelming 82% of cannabis users are pushing back against a federal hemp THC ban signed by President Trump. While the administration is moving forward with rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III and expanding CBD access for seniors, this new legislation effectively recriminalizes the hemp-derived THC market that has flourished since the 2018 Farm Bill. Only 4% of consumers surveyed actually support the prohibition, which many industry insiders fear will dismantle the hemp sector entirely. This pushback highlights a major disconnect between DC politicians and the community. For everyday tokers, hemp-derived products have provided a legal, accessible alternative in areas where traditional dispensaries aren't an option. Reverting to prohibition on these products doesn't just hurt small businesses; it limits the choices and safety of consumers who have relied on this legal framework for years. As the industry matures, it’s vital that we keep these pathways open for everyone, ensuring that progress toward rescheduling doesn't come at the cost of the hemp community's freedom. < 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 Trump administration is advancing the rescheduling of medical marijuana to Schedule III, a move supported by President Trump for treating serious illnesses. Concurrently, federal and state lawmakers are addressing related issues including hemp regulations, psychedelics research for veterans, and local decriminalization efforts. < Back Trump Leans Into the Healing Power of Medical Herb After Major Policy Shift Apr 24, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The federal landscape for cannabis is shifting rapidly, and the latest updates from Washington are providing some serious momentum for the community. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has officially kicked off the rescheduling process, moving medical marijuana and FDA-approved cannabis products into Schedule III. This is a massive win for accessibility, as it finally acknowledges the therapeutic value of the plant at the federal level. For those who rely on cannabis for wellness, this reclassification means more rigorous research and potentially more refined treatment options in the future. Beyond the rescheduling news, there’s plenty of action in the halls of Congress. Lawmakers are currently working on amendments to the Farm Bill that could protect the hemp industry from a sudden federal ban on THC products, which is great news for fans of hemp-derived beverages and snacks. Meanwhile, the Senate is turning its attention to veterans' health, scheduling hearings to explore how psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA could help those dealing with serious mental health challenges. It’s heartening to see these alternative therapies finally getting the serious look they deserve. On the local front, Tennessee is seeing a strong push for a special legislative session to establish a state medical framework, ensuring that residents aren't left behind as federal policy evolves. Even local wins, like Minneapolis moving to decriminalize drug paraphernalia, show a growing trend toward common-sense reform. For the everyday enthusiast, this all points to a future where cannabis is more integrated into our healthcare and local economies. While the legal nuances—like how rescheduling impacts gun rights—are still being ironed out in the courts, the overall vibe is one of progress. Practical tip: If you’re in a state with a medical program, keep an eye on your local rules, as federal rescheduling might eventually lead to better tax breaks for your favorite dispensaries, which often translates to better deals for you. The community is growing, and it’s an exciting time to be part of the culture. < 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 Michigan Court of Claims judge denied a preliminary injunction sought by cannabis advocates against a new 24 percent wholesale tax on marijuana, allowing the tax to take effect for road repairs. The judge ruled the new tax was constitutionally sound as the original legalization act broadly permitted "all other taxes" but allowed the lawsuit to move forward to determine if the new levy interferes with the intent of the voter-approved law. < Back Michigan Judge Lets New Cannabis Tax Increase Proceed Amid Industry Lawsuit Dec 8, 2025 Source: Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Michigan's cannabis scene just hit a speed bump as a judge gave the green light for a new 24 percent wholesale tax to take effect. Despite a legal challenge from industry advocates who argued the levy was unconstitutional, the Court of Claims ruled that the state's original legalization act left the door wide open for "all other taxes." The new revenue is earmarked for fixing the state’s crumbling roads, but local businesses are worried it could put a major strain on their bottom line. While the judge did allow part of the lawsuit to continue—specifically to see if this tax messes with the original intent of the voters—the extra costs are hitting the market right now. This matters to everyday tokers because when wholesale costs jump by nearly a quarter, those prices almost always trickle down to the dispensary shelf. It’s a classic case of the government using a successful industry as a piggy bank, which could make legal bud more expensive and keep the legacy market thriving. Keep an eye on this one as the case moves into the discovery phase. < 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.

Bipartisan lawmakers filed the "Expanding Veterans’ Access to Emerging Treatments Act," which mandates the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to conduct clinical trials on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics (ibogaine, psilocybin, ketamine) and other innovative treatments for veterans with serious mental health issues like PTSD and depression. The bill aims to create a structured federal program for evaluating and delivering these alternative therapies to veterans who lack adequate existing options. < Back Congress Steps Up With Bipartisan Bill to Explore Psychedelic Healing for Veterans at the VA Jan 29, 2026 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Bipartisan lawmakers are stepping up to help our veterans by introducing a new bill that could change the face of mental health treatment. The "Expanding Veterans’ Access to Emerging Treatments Act" would require the VA to launch clinical trials exploring the healing potential of psychedelics like psilocybin, ketamine, and ibogaine. It’s not just about research; the bill aims to build a solid framework for the VA to actually provide these innovative therapies to heroes struggling with PTSD, depression, and chronic pain. This is a massive win for the community because it signals a major shift in how the federal government views alternative medicine. For too long, veterans have been stuck with limited options, but this legislation creates a real path toward accessible, life-saving treatments. It’s also a huge nod to the broader movement, showing that the therapeutic benefits of these substances are becoming too significant for even D.C. to ignore. If this passes, it could pave the way for wider acceptance and easier access for everyone else down the road. < 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.

Unlike sedating varieties, it delivers a motivating body high and intense mental clarity that makes it ideal for daytime use, physical activity, and completing complex tasks or chores.

Steep Hill Mississippi and Alchemy Analytics, Mississippi's only cannabis testing laboratories, are merging to ensure long-term viability. < Back Mississippi’s Lone Pair of Cannabis Testing Facilities Are Joining Forces Aug 11, 2026 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link In a move to strengthen the state's medical cannabis framework, Mississippi’s primary safety screening facilities, Steep Hill Mississippi and Alchemy Analytics, have decided to combine forces under a new entity named Southern Precision Analytics LLC. While this consolidation merges their backend business operations and administrative tasks to cut down operational overhead, both testing centers will continue operating their separate physical locations, maintaining their distinct technical teams, testing instruments, and quality control procedures. This corporate union comes in response to lower-than-expected patient participation across the state. Initial market forecasts anticipated roughly 100,000 registered medical marijuana patients by this stage in the rollout, but current numbers sit closer to 70,000 active cardholders. Because lab revenues rely heavily on total product volume moving through dispensaries, the slower adoption rate created financial pressure on independent operations. By joining forces, the organizations aim to safeguard the state’s required testing system without sacrificing speed, accuracy, or safety standards. For medical patients and local consumers, this development is reassuring news. Standardized safety screening is crucial for verifying THC potency, screening for unwanted contaminants, and guaranteeing that dispensary products remain safe, reliable, and clean. Without functioning local laboratories, growers would struggle to get products onto store shelves, potentially causing supply shortages or inflated retail prices. By streamlining administrative costs, both facilities can focus on accurate laboratory science and dependable customer support for cultivators and processors. For patients browsing local dispensary shelves, it means continued access to verified, high-quality medicine. If you are a patient in Mississippi, keeping an eye on lab results—often accessible via QR codes printed on product packaging—is always a great habit for finding consistent remedies tailored to your preferences. < 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.
