Attorney General Pam Bondi missed a congressionally mandated deadline to issue guidelines for implementing new processes under the HALT Fentanyl Act that would streamline the registration process for researchers studying Schedule I substances like marijuana and psychedelics. Drug policy advocates argue that this failure causes "research harm" by obstructing legitimate scientific studies, delaying medical innovation, and hindering evidence-based policymaking, emphasizing that the positive changes in the law cannot occur until the guidelines are issued. < Back Attorney General Misses Deadline for Easier Schedule I Research Rules Jan 20, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Attorney General Pam Bondi has missed a critical January deadline to simplify the path for scientists studying Schedule I substances like cannabis and psychedelics. Even though President Trump signed the HALT Fentanyl Act last year—which included provisions to cut through the DEA's red tape for researchers—the necessary guidelines from the AG’s office are nowhere to be found. Advocates from groups like Students for Sensible Drug Policy are sounding the alarm, noting that this delay stalls medical breakthroughs and keeps potential treatments for mental health and addiction out of reach. For everyday tokers, this administrative foot-dragging is more than just a missed date; it’s a roadblock to progress. We all want the science to back up what the community already knows, and easier research access is the only way to get legitimate, evidence-based data into the hands of policymakers. Until Bondi acts, the "research harm" continues, leaving both scientists and patients in a frustrating state of limbo. It’s high time the government follows its own rules so the industry can finally move forward with clarity. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

The Texas Department of Public Safety conditionally approved three new medical marijuana business licenses as part of the Phase II expansion of the Texas Compassionate Use Program. This expansion aims to increase the number of licensed dispensaries from three to twelve and broaden qualifying medical conditions to include chronic pain and traumatic brain injury. < Back Texas is Growing: New Medical Licenses Approved to Help More Patients Get the Relief They Need Apr 2, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Texas is finally growing its medical marijuana footprint, and for patients in the Lone Star State, this news is a breath of fresh air. The Department of Public Safety recently moved into the second stage of a major program expansion, conditionally green-lighting three more businesses to join the state's medical cannabis landscape. This follows an earlier round where nine other companies were selected, bringing the state closer to its goal of adding twelve new licensed operators to the mix. Why does this matter to the everyday user? Currently, Texas has a remarkably small number of dispensaries—just three for the entire state. By quadrupling the number of available licenses, the state is making it much easier for registered patients to find a local shop rather than relying on long-distance deliveries or massive treks. More competition usually means better variety, improved accessibility, and a more robust community for those navigating their wellness journey. The latest batch of potential providers includes some heavy hitters like Cresco Labs and GTI (the folks behind RISE dispensaries), alongside Texas Medica Collective. While these companies still have to jump through several regulatory hoops—including deep dives into their finances and legal histories—before they can actually start growing or selling, the momentum is undeniable. Practicality is also at the forefront of this expansion. The updated law doesn't just add shops; it broadens who can walk through the doors. Qualifying conditions now include chronic pain, traumatic brain injuries, and various inflammatory bowel diseases. If you’ve been on the fence about whether you qualify, now is a great time to consult with a registered physician to see if you meet the new, more inclusive criteria. While the state is tightening the reins on some hemp products, the growth of the official Compassionate Use Program shows that the path toward a more accessible cannabis future in Texas is widening. For now, keep an eye on these developments—more options for relief are officially on the horizon. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

GOP Operative Roger Stone Blasts ‘Cheap Cop-Out’ Hemp Ban That Trump Signed Into Law < Back Roger Stone Calls Hemp Ban a Cheap Cop-Out Nov 14, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link It looks like the hemp industry just hit a major roadblock, and the criticism is coming from some surprising places. GOP operative and Trump advisor Roger Stone is sounding the alarm over a new hemp ban tucked into a must-pass federal spending bill. While the 2018 Farm Bill originally legalized hemp, this new legislation moves the goalposts by imposing strict total THC limits and targeting hemp-derived products like Delta-8. Stone isn’t holding back, calling the move a sneaky way to bring back prohibition through the back door. He argues that while we need sensible rules for synthetic products, this broad ban threatens to wipe out an entire industry of farmers, small businesses, and patients who depend on hemp-derived relief. For the average user, this is a big deal because it could suddenly cut off access to wellness products that many find more accessible or affordable than traditional dispensary gear. It’s a reminder that our community needs clear, transparent laws rather than hidden clauses that treat legal businesses like a political game. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

While "white label" versions may appear at various online seed banks, true genetics are most reliably found through reputable California-based nurseries and dispensaries.
