Researchers from Johns Hopkins and UC San Diego analyzed over 40,000 public comments on the DEA's 2024 cannabis rescheduling proposal, finding that 92.4% of respondents support removing cannabis from Schedule I. The analysis revealed that a majority of commenters favor reforms even more significant than the proposed Schedule III reclassification, primarily citing therapeutic benefits and economic impacts. < Back The People Have Spoken: A New Study Shows Massive Support For Moving Cannabis Out Of Schedule I May 5, 2026 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link It is officially time to celebrate a major shift in how our country views this incredible plant. A recent deep dive into public opinion has confirmed what we have known in our hearts for years: the vast majority of people are ready for the federal government to back off. Researchers from Johns Hopkins and UC San Diego recently sifted through a mountain of over 42,000 public comments submitted to the DEA, and the results are staggering. An overwhelming 92.4% of respondents explicitly demanded that cannabis be stripped of its Schedule I status. This massive wave of public feedback represents the largest collective voice we have ever seen in the history of federal cannabis policy. While the government proposed moving things to Schedule III, the data shows that nearly two-thirds of you actually want the feds to go even further. People aren't just looking for minor tweaks; they are calling for real, substantial reform. The primary drivers behind this movement are the undeniable medicinal benefits that help so many in our community find relief every single day. Others pointed to the massive economic boost and the common-sense need for clear regulations that keep everyone safe without the threat of outdated prohibition. For everyday enthusiasts, this news is a huge win for accessibility and culture. It proves that the "lazy" stereotypes are dead and buried, replaced by an engaged, passionate community that knows how to use the legal system to demand change. This groundswell of support is likely why we saw the recent move to reclassify certain products to Schedule III. As we look toward the administrative hearings set for June 2026, stay vocal! Your input is clearly being heard and measured. For those navigating the current landscape, keep supporting your local shops and stay educated on how these shifting federal rules might affect your local access. We are finally moving toward a future where our favorite flower is treated with the respect it deserves. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

White House Announces Withdrawal Of Trump’s Drug Czar Nominee Who Embraced Medical Marijuana < Back White House Withdraws Trump’s Drug Czar Nominee Jun 27, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The White House has officially pulled the plug on Sara Carter’s nomination for National Drug Control Policy director, and it’s a bit of a bummer for the cannabis community. Carter was a rare pick from the current administration who had actually spoken up in favor of medical marijuana, calling it a "fantastic" option for patients in need. While it’s still a mystery whether she stepped down or was asked to leave, her exit leaves a big question mark over who will lead the federal government's drug strategy. This move matters because the "Drug Czar" holds a lot of power over how the administration views legalization and rescheduling. Losing a nominee who was open to reform—especially one who distinguished between regulated markets and illicit ones—is a missed opportunity for progress. For everyday tokers, this highlights the ongoing tug-of-war in D.C. between old-school prohibitionists and those ready to embrace common-sense cannabis laws. It's a reminder that even when we see a glimmer of hope in high places, the path to federal clarity remains a bit of a hazy trek. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A newly declassified 2022 memo reveals that FBI agents are prohibited from investing in or working for marijuana companies but may engage with hemp and CBD businesses. These allowances for hemp exclude any products or companies that promote marijuana through imagery like cannabis leaves or associations with illegal drug use. < Back FBI Agents Get the Green Light for Hemp and CBD Investments, but Marijuana Remains Off-Limits Apr 3, 2026 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The FBI is finally showing its hand on where its agents stand regarding the cannabis industry, and the results are a fascinating mix of federal pragmatism and old-school stigma. A newly declassified memo from 2022 reveals that while the bureau still has a strict "no-go" policy for anything related to marijuana, they have carved out a surprisingly clear path for agents to engage with the hemp and CBD sectors. For the everyday enthusiast, this news is a significant marker of how deeply the 2018 Farm Bill has shifted the landscape. According to the directive, FBI employees are permitted to invest in and even hold outside jobs with CBD companies, provided those products stay within the legal limit of 0.3% THC. However, there is a catch that feels a bit stuck in the past: agents are strictly forbidden from associating with any brand that "promotes" marijuana. In the FBI's eyes, this includes anything as simple as a cannabis leaf on the packaging or advertising that hints at medical or recreational use. This "leaf ban" highlights a lingering cultural divide. While the government acknowledges hemp is legal, they are still incredibly wary of the culture surrounding it. For those in the industry, this is a practical reminder that branding matters. If you are looking to attract a wide professional customer base—including those with federal security clearances—keeping your marketing clean and clinical might be a smart move. Interestingly, the memo even mentions that agents can work at grocery stores selling CBD, showing a level of common-sense flexibility we don't always see from federal agencies. While the FBI still requires applicants to be cannabis-free for a year before joining, these internal policy shifts suggest the bureau is trying to balance its rigid federal mandates with the reality of a modern workforce where CBD is a household staple. For the cannabis community, it’s a positive sign that even the most "buttoned-up" agencies are forced to adapt to the growing legitimacy of the plant’s non-intoxicating cousins. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

The survey, conducted in September, covered a nationally representative sample of 10,122 adults aged 18+ and living in the U.S. The survey asked respondents who reported using psilocybin, LSD, or MDMA in the past year how many days they had used the substances, and how many days they had microdosed the substances, defining microdosing as “taking a small fraction of a regular dose (a subperceptual dose) that is much lower than you would take to ‘trip’ or hallucinate on these substances.” According to the report, 69% of adults who reported using psilocybin said they had microdosed at least one day in the last year. Psilocybin was the most popular psychedelic to microdose, compared to MDMA (65%) and LSD (59%). “There is an emerging discussion about the effects of microdosing on creativity, well-being, and mental health, but until now little was known about how common it is. Our findings suggest that for those who use psychedelics, taking small doses is a big deal.” — Michelle Priest, RAND researcher and the report’s lead author, in a press release According to the survey, the five psychedelics used most commonly by Americans in 2025 were psilocybin (11 million adults), MDMA (4.7 million), Amanita muscaria mushrooms (3.5 million), ketamine (3.3 million), and LSD (3 million). < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
