/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
The White House Office of Management and Budget has scheduled several additional meetings for this week about a CBD products compliance and enforcement policy that the Food and Drug Administration submitted for approval.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said the federal system for classifying marijuana and other drugs has "fallen short"—noting that "our law says that these drugs have zero medical application, but the science says something else."
  • "The wealth of medical research shows that these are potential treatments for treatment-resistant PTSD, traumatic brain injuries—but the schedule classification really prevents researchers from continuing to do work on this."

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is celebrating the five-year anniversary of marijuana legalization—touting $3.3 billion in sales, more than 600 operational licensed cannabis shops and achievements in promoting social equity and criminal justice reform.
Texas's lieutenant governor issued a mandate for the Senate Health and Human Services Committee to study the impact of cannabis and THC products during the legislative interim, while the House speaker directed the Public Health Committee to monitor implementation of legislation to establish a consortium to conduct ibogaine drug development clinical trials.
LeafLink's Rodney Holcombe argues in a new Marijuana Moment op-ed that calls to increase cannabis taxes from the New York Times editorial board and others "overlook how high effective tax burdens already are in many states."
  • "Higher taxes do not eliminate consumer demand. They simply change where consumers buy their cannabis."
