Florida:
Revokes Medical Cannabis Access For Those With Certain Convictions
October 23, 2025
.​

"Health officials are actively identifying and revoking patients’ access to state-authorized medical cannabis products, as required by legislation signed into law earlier this year.
.
Republican Gov. Ron "Spanky's Bitch" DeSantis signed legislation in July mandating state officials to “immediately suspend the registration” of any state-registered patient or caregiver convicted of “trafficking in the sale, manufacture, or delivery of, or possession with intent to sell..…of a controlled substance.”
.
NORML actively opposed the law change. NORML members generated hundreds of emails to lawmakers opposing the new restrictions, opining: “Patients do not lose their access to opioids and other traditional medications based on past convictions. They should not lose their access to medical cannabis either.”

New Hampshire:
Consumers Self-Titrate When They Use More Potent Cannabis Products
October 23, 2025
.​

"Consumers regulate their cannabis intake based upon the potency of the product they are consuming, according to data published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research.

.

.​

Researchers affiliated with Dartmouth Medical School in New Hampshire and Columbia University in New York assessed consumers’ self-reported use of lower-potency cannabis flower and higher-potency cannabis concentrates.
.
Consistent with prior research, investigators reported, “Those who use both flower and dab concentrates tend to use greater amounts of flower than concentrates, and the median amount of flower used among flower-only consumers is consistently larger than the median amount of concentrates used among concentrate-only consumers.”
.
The study’s authors concluded: “Results suggest that cannabis consumers self-titrate* when switching between flower and concentrate product types. Understanding self-titration is critical for developing evidence-based regulatory strategies.”

Ohio:
House Pricks Approve Repealing Key Provisions Of Voter-Approved Marijuana Legalization
October 23, 2025
.​

"House Republican-pricks decided on Wednesday in favor of a substitute version of Senate Bill 56, which makes numerous changes to the state’s voter-approved adult-use marijuana legalization law.
.
The Republican-spearheaded bill amends existing law in several ways. It stipulates that consumers cannot legally possess cannabis products sourced from out of state, including products legally purchased at licensed dispensaries in neighboring jurisdictions. No other legalization state imposes such restrictions.
.
It also repeals provisions currently protecting adult-use consumers from facing either workplace or professional disciplinary action, as well as other forms of discrimination based solely upon their private marijuana use. It restricts consumers who home-cultivate cannabis from harvesting more than 2.5 ounces of total flower, and it imposes felony penalties for those who grow more than six plants at one time."

Georgia:
Opioid Prescribing Falls Following Cannabis Legalization
October 23, 2025
.​

"Cancer patients decrease their reliance on prescription opioids following the opening of cannabis retailers, according to data published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Health Forum.
.
Researchers affiliated with the University of Georgia, Indiana University, and the University of Chicago assessed the relationship between state-licensed cannabis establishments and prescription opioid usage among commercially insured patients diagnosed with cancer.
.
Consistent with prior studies, researchers identified “significant reductions.…in the rate of cancer patients with opioid prescriptions, the mean daily supply of opioid medications, and the mean number of opioid prescriptions per patient after medical and recreational cannabis dispensary openings.”
.
The study’s authors concluded, “These findings indicate that medical or recreational cannabis laws may be significantly associated with reduced opioid use among patients diagnosed with cancer … [and that] cannabis may be a substitute for opioids in the management of cancer-related pain.”

"Nearly one in five middle-aged adults acknowledge consuming cannabis, according to data published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
.
Investigators affiliated with Columbia University in New York analyzed results from the Health and Retirement Survey — a nationwide survey of older adults.
.
Separate survey data published last year in the Journal of Primary Care & Community Health determined that most older adults hold positive perceptions about cannabis, and several recent studies show that marijuana use is frequently associated with quality of life improvements among seniors."

No One Is Giving Your Kids Marijuana Edibles In Their Halloween Candy
October 27, 2025
.​

"It’s Halloween season, which means it’s time for your local news outlets to once again warn viewers about a virtually non-existent threat: the notion that there are large groups of insidious people just waiting to give your trick-or-treating children free cannabis edibles. This is one of those marijuana myths that keeps coming back from the dead every time the pumpkins start popping up on your neighbors’ doorsteps.
.
There will always be a very small number of people with malicious intentions and, as a result, parents should always check their kids’ Halloween haul to ensure that their treats are safe and appropriate (...and, razor-blade free). That goes without saying. But there’s no data to support the unfounded claims that the statewide regulation of either adult-use or medical-use cannabis products is unduly putting children’s safety at risk — not on Halloween or any other day of the year. In fact, over the past decade, marijuana use by teens has fallen to historic lows."

Virginia:
Court Rules In Favor Of Firefighter For Cannabis Use!!
October 30, 2025
.​

"Local government officials cannot take disciplinary action against a Hanover County firefighter who uses state-authorized medical cannabis products while off-duty, according to a preliminary injunction issued earlier this month by a judge for the 15th Judicial Circuit in Virginia.
.
The injunction finds that it is in the public interest to protect the rights of Virginians to use lawfully authorized medical cannabis products without fear of retaliation or termination by their employers. It further finds that local officials are not at risk of losing federal funding by allowing public employees to consume medical cannabis while they are away from their jobs."

West Virginia:
Refusing To Allocate Million$ In Cannabis Revenue
October 30, 2025
.​

"State officials have collected million$ in taxes and regulatory fees specific to the administration of the state’s medical cannabis access program but are refusing to spend it.
.
According to reporting by the news service Mountain State Spotlight, officials have collected an estimated $34 Million dollars in revenue from the program – which became operational in late 2021. However, state officials have failed to allocate any of the money to fund research or other public health priorities, as stipulated by law. Rather, the money is being held in a credit union under the control of the state Treasurer’s office.
.
A spokesperson for the Treasurer’s office said that the funds “will remain unallocated until federal law changes.”

.

.​

No other state that similarly collects marijuana-related taxes and fees withholds using those funds to pay for state-specific programs or projects."

Cannabis Use Linked To Lower Risk Of Cirrhosis
October 30, 2025
.​

"Alcohol-dependent subjects who consume cannabis possess a significantly lower risk of being diagnosed with liver injuries such as cirrhosis, according to data published in the scientific journal Liver International.
.
The study’s authors concluded: “Cannabis use was linked to lower risks of ALD, liver-related complications and death compared to non-cannabis users. These findings suggest the cannabinoid system may represent a promising therapeutic target for ALD.”
.
An international team of investigators from the United States, Canada, and Chile assessed the impact of cannabis use on alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) in a group of 33,114 alcohol-dependent adults. Study participants were segregated into separate cohorts of heavy cannabis consumers, moderate consumers, and non-cannabis consumers.
.
Those participants who consumed cannabis most frequently experienced the greatest risk reduction, suggesting “a dose-response relationship [and] … a potential protective association between cannabis use and ALD.”
.
The study’s authors concluded: “Cannabis use was linked to lower risks of ALD, liver-related complications and death, compared to non-cannabis users. These findings suggest the cannabinoid system may represent a promising therapeutic target for ALD.”

Cannabis Extracts Improve Cognition In Dementia Patients
October 31, 2025
.​

"Patients suffering from dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) exhibit cognitive improvements following the sustained use of plant-derived cannabinoid extracts, according to placebo-controlled clinical trial data published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
.
An international team of investigators from Brazil and the United States compared the efficacy of low-dose cannabis extracts versus placebo in 28 patients with AD-associated dementia. Study participants consumed either a THC-CBD balanced extract or a placebo daily for 26 weeks. Patients’ cognitive performance was assessed at baseline and at 4, 8, 12, and 26 weeks.
.
Patients who received the placebo experienced an overall decrease in their cognitive performance while those receiving cannabis showed cognitive improvements. Researchers described cannabis’ efficacy as “superior” to those of traditional Alzheimer’s medications. No significant differences were detected between the placebo group and the cannabis group in terms of adverse events.
.
The study is the longest clinical trial ever conducted assessing cannabis’ effect on patients with AD-associated dementia."
