/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) touted her successful amendment to provide half a million dollars in funding to support research on hemp fiber, calling the cannabis plant "one of the oldest and most versatile crops in agriculture."
The Texas Senate State Affairs Committee unanimously approved a bill to ban consumable hemp products with any amount of THC, hours after Gov. Greg Abbott (R) called a second special legislative session with hemp regulation on the agenda.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted draft proposed rules detailing how doctors can recommend new medical cannabis qualifying conditions and laying out regulations for pulmonary inhalation devices for low-THC marijuana.
The American Trucking Associations sent a letter telling Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy it is "deeply concerned" about the potential impact of federal marijuana rescheduling on drug testing programs for drivers.
A new study of chronic pain patients found that "the introduction of cannabinoids can produce useful reductions in opioid consumption in real-world settings, with additional benefits for disability and insomnia."
  • "Opioid consumption decreased significantly after both 6 and 12 months. Physical activity and sleep also improved. These findings indicate that medicinal cannabis can help patients to reduce their opioid consumption and improve their physical activity and sleep."
Texas crime lab officials told lawmakers considering a ban on hemp products with any amount of THC that they don't have enough resources to test cannabis as they prioritize processing fentanyl and sexual assault kits.

Indian tribes are increasingly seeing opportunity in hemp-derived THC products and the cannabis industry more broadly, even in tribal communities located within states that continue to criminalize marijuana.
