Trump Dismisses GOP Lawmakers’ Opposition To His Marijuana Rescheduling Action, Pointing To Polling And Medical Benefits < Back Trump Brushes Off GOP Opposition to His Cannabis Rescheduling Plans Dec 18, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link President Trump is doubling down on his plan to move marijuana to Schedule III, shrugging off pushback from fellow Republicans. By signing a new executive order, he’s fast-tracking the rescheduling process and opening the door for Medicare to cover full-spectrum CBD. Trump pointed to massive public support—over 80% in some polls—and personal stories of medical relief as the primary drivers behind his decision. While this isn't full legalization, it’s a massive win for the industry because it finally allows cannabis businesses to claim federal tax deductions and slashes the red tape currently choking medical research. Even as some lawmakers argue over executive authority or claim the move doesn't go far enough, the momentum is undeniable. For the average toker, this shift is a huge step toward legitimacy and better access. Moving away from the "Schedule I" label helps strip away decades of stigma and recognizes the plant's medicinal value on a federal level. It’s a practical victory that makes the industry more stable and sets the stage for more affordable, research-backed products in the future. < 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.

This recipe for mac and cheese is infused with cannabis. The crunch comes from a topping mix of tortilla chips, potato chips, and buttery snack crackers. The recipe includes ingredients and directions for making the dish. < Back Edibles Recipe: Mac & Cheese Gets Toasted Jan 8, 2025 Source: Laurie and MaryJane Cannabis Now Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Mac and cheese is truly a treasure, as it is both one of the most popular comfort foods *and* easy to infuse with cannabis. The results are cheesy, creamy and deliciously crunchy. Instead of the standard breadcrumbs, the crunch in this mac and cheese comes from the topping mix of tortilla chips, potato chips and buttery snack crackers — which can also be infused if you’re looking to pack an extra punch. Also, thanks to the food miracles of modern science, you can substitute gluten-free pasta and crackers or dairy-free cheese to modify the recipe to fit your dietary needs. I’ve tried these versions and they’re not bad at all. Not great, but not bad. In this recipe, the canna-butter is infused into the three-cheese sauce, so you can rest assured the servings will all contain a homogenous serving of THC as long as you spread the cheese sauce evenly. You can calculate the potency you desire by purchasing labeled canna-butter or making it yourself. If you choose to DIY, simply multiply the amount of flower you’re using by the percentage (in decimal form) of THC in the flower and that will tell you how strong your canna-butter is, though a small amount may burn off in the cooking process. If you are a heavy hitter, you can also use some canna-butter to sauté the toppings, but one thing I try to stress is not to overdo the amount of cannabis in your food. Take it slow, get to know your dose and be considerate of others. You can always put some of infused toppings in a bowl at your adults-only table, so folks can help themselves to a higher potency if they wish. *INGREDIENTS — Serves 8-10* - 1 lb. pasta shells, or your preferred choice of shape - 7 tablespoons butter - 4 tablespoons cannabis-infused butter - ½ cup all-purpose flour - 1 ½ cups whole milk - 2 ½ cups half-and-half - 4 cups cheddar, shredded - 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded - 1 cup whole milk mozzarella, shredded - 2 teaspoons salt - 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper - 1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced - 10 oz. spinach - 1 cup potato chips, crushed - 1 cup buttery snack crackers, crushed - ½ cup tortilla chips, crushed *DIRECTIONS* 1. Heat oven to 340° Fahrenheit with the oven rack in the middle. 2. Use about 1 tablespoon of butter to line the edges of a large casserole dish. I used an 8 ½ by 10-inch dish. 3. In a pot of boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking. 4. In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of cannabis-infused butter with 4 tablespoons of regular butter. Whisk in the flour to make a roux and stir for about 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk and the half-and-half until smooth. Stir in the cheeses over low heat until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat. 5. In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of non-infused butter and cook the onion until it is caramelized and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add the spinach and stir to combine until the spinach wilts. Set aside. 6. Combine the pasta and the onion/spinach mixture with the cheese sauce, mixing very well to distribute the cheese evenly. Pour into the large buttered casserole dish. 7. In the sauté pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the crushed potato chips, crackers and tortilla chips and sauté until coated with the butter. Top the mac and cheese in the casserole dish with the crumb mixture. Bake until top is golden and edges of dish are bubbling, which should take about 25-30 minutes.

Texas officials released a revised proposed rule to permanently ban the sale of hemp THC products to people under 21, adjusting license penalties to suspensions instead of cancellations following stakeholder feedback. Separately, the Department of Public Safety conditionally approved nine new medical marijuana business licenses, significantly expanding the state's medical cannabis program. < Back Texas Files Updated Rule Banning Hemp THC Sales to Minors Dec 9, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Texas is shaking things up with a mix of tighter hemp rules and a much-needed expansion of its medical marijuana program. State officials are moving to permanently ban hemp-derived THC sales to anyone under 21, though they’ve softened the blow for business owners by swapping immediate license cancellations for a tiered suspension system. It's a fair compromise that keeps products out of the hands of minors while protecting local shops from losing everything over a first mistake. On a brighter note, the state is finally growing its tiny medical market by conditionally approving nine new business licenses, with more on the way by 2026. For the Texas cannabis community, this is a bittersweet but necessary evolution. While more restrictions on hemp can feel like a step back, the massive expansion of medical licenses—up from just three—means better access and more variety for patients who have been stuck in a very limited system. It’s a signal that even in a strict state like Texas, the industry is maturing and finding a way to provide for the people who need it most. < 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 February 17, 2026, Marijuana Moment newsletter reports on Rep. Andy Harris's comments regarding the delay in cannabis rescheduling and initial approval for marijuana sales legalization in Virginia. Key developments also include a psilocybin medical use bill passing in the New Hampshire House and a Florida campaign's legal challenge to signature invalidation.

Meanwhile, New Hampshire is opening doors for patients by passing a medical psilocybin bill, and Nebraska candidates are stepping up to protect local medical laws from federal meddling.

Virginia’s move toward a legal retail market is a massive win for accessibility and safety in the Mid-Atlantic.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is reassuring Texas hemp farmers. State lawmakers approved a ban on THC products. Miller states this is a targeted effort to crack down on THC abuse, not a ban on hemp farming. The proposal, championed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, attracted protestors. If signed, it would prohibit the sale of products containing delta-8 or delta-9 THC, except CBD or CBG. Miller is committed to ensuring farmers can continue growing hemp without interference. < Back Texas Ag. Commissioner Says Hemp Farmers Won’t Be Affected by THC Ban May 27, 2025 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is trying to reassure Texas hemp farmers that their livelihoods are not at risk after state lawmakers last week approved an outright ban on THC products, even those containing cannabinoids from federally legal hemp plants. “Texas farmers are worried about the effects of Senate Bill 3 on the hemp industry,” Miller said in a statement released on Friday. “This legislation does not ban growing hemp or planting hemp for biomass. It’s a targeted effort to crack down on abuse of THC in the retail sector, not a ban on legitimate hemp farming. We have maintained constant communication with the Legislature to ensure the voices of our growers are heard and that essential protection for Texas producers stays in place.” – Miller, in a statement. The proposal to ban THC statewide in Texas — a policy that was championed by Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick (R) — attracted hundreds of activists to the state Capitol this month in protest of the policy. If signed into law by the governor, the policy would prohibit the sale of any products containing delta-8 or delta-9 THC, or any other cannabinoids except CBD or CBG. “We have maintained constant communication with the Legislature to ensure the voices of our growers are heard and that essential protection for Texas producers stays in place,” Miller wrote. “I’ve been in contact with Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, and I am committed to ensuring our farmers can continue to grow hemp without unnecessary interference.” < 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 Virginia legislative commission unveiled a proposal to legalize recreational marijuana sales for the 2026 legislative session, expressing optimism due to the incoming pro-legalization Governor Abigail Spanberger, unlike prior attempts vetoed by the outgoing governor. The recommended framework features significant changes, including eliminating the local opt-out option, increasing local tax authority to 3.5%, setting a retail start date of November 1, 2026, and prioritizing micro-businesses through a new "direct-to-consumer" license and limiting initial licenses for all types of businesses to prevent monopolies. < Back Virginia Cannabis Commission Releases Plan for Recreational Sales Under New Governor Dec 2, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Virginia is finally moving toward a real-deal retail cannabis market, and the vibes are looking high for 2026. A state commission just dropped a fresh proposal to launch adult-use sales by November 1, 2026, and with pro-reform Governor Abigail Spanberger taking the helm, the path looks clearer than ever. This new plan is all about keeping things local and fair; it blocks cities from opting out of the market while boosting local tax power and prioritizing small "micro-businesses" over big corporate monopolies. They’re even talking about home delivery and cannabis farmers markets! For the everyday toker, this is the progress we’ve been waiting for since possession became legal in 2021. It means an end to the "gift" market's legal gray areas and, more importantly, guaranteed access to tested, safe, and regulated buds no matter where you live in the Commonwealth. While high licensing fees and taxes are still worth watching, moving toward a legitimate, accessible marketplace is a huge win for the community and local entrepreneurs alike. < 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 key Senate committee has given initial approval to President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as White House drug czar, where she will play a central role in implementing the administration’s drug policy agenda that touches on everything from marijuana and psychedelics to harm reduction and overdose prevention. < Back Senate Advances Trump Drug Czar Nominee Who Supports Medical Cannabis Oct 9, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Senate Judiciary Committee just moved President Trump’s nominee for White House drug czar, Sara Carter Bailey, one step closer to confirmation. A former journalist with a focus on cartel activity, Bailey represents an interesting shift for the ONDCP. She’s explicitly stated she doesn't have a "problem" with monitored legalization and has been a vocal supporter of medical marijuana, calling it a "fantastic" tool for patients. While she hasn't fully committed to the current rescheduling proposal, she views cannabis reform as a bipartisan path forward. This news is a major win for the community because having a drug czar who acknowledges the medicinal value of the plant is a massive upgrade from the "just say no" era. For everyday tokers, this could mean smoother sailing for federal rescheduling and better protections for the legal market.
