/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
A Florida senator introduced a bill to legalize home cultivation of medical cannabis, allowing patients to grow up to six plants for themselves and to purchase marijuana seeds and clones from dispensaries.
New Hampshire lawmakers prefiled several marijuana and hemp bills for the 2026 session—including legislation to put legalization on the ballot, protect gun rights of medical cannabis patients and allow dispensaries to convert to for-profit businesses.
A new federally funded study published by the American Medical Association found that patient participation in New York's medical marijuana program "was associated with significantly reduced prescription opioid receipt."
  • "Medical cannabis is increasingly considered a substitute for prescription opioid medications for chronic pain, driven by the urgent need for opioid alternatives to combat the ongoing epidemic."
Amy Rubenstein of Dentons argues in a new Marijuana Moment op-ed that hemp growers should consider the largely "untapped opportunity to access carbon credit markets", which brings tax incentives and can be "appealing to eco-conscious investors and consumers."

A Michigan judge denied cannabis industry groups' request to impose a preliminary injunction against a newly approved marijuana tax increase while a lawsuit challenging the policy proceeds.
The New Mexico Department of Health is aiming to launch the state's psilocybin therapy program a year earlier than expected—with the senator who sponsored the bill that created it saying "we are experiencing a new renaissance…of psychedelic medicine."

/ FEDERAL
Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) said recent U.S. actions against drug traffickers are stopping "cocaine and marijuana"—not fentanyl.

Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) tweeted, "I called out the hypocrisy of the Trump admin's so-called'"war on drugs' in the Caribbean while pardoning Juan Orlando Hernández, a convicted trafficker tied to 400 tons of cocaine. Trump's escalation is clearly not about drugs, and we must stop this march toward war."
