He recently said his administration is preparing to make a decision on rescheduling cannabis after a long period of providing no information on the topic.

Trump says he'll make a decision on reclassifying marijuana in the coming weeksPolitico.com - President Donald Trump said Monday his administration was “looking at reclassification” of marijuana and intends to make a decision in the upcoming weeks. “It’s a very complicated subject base,” he said during a press briefing. “I’ve heard great things having to do with medical and bad things having to do with just about everything else.” Read more » US congressman vows to file 1-to-3 act to reschedule cannabisCannabisBusinessTimes.com - As President Donald Trump weighs executive action over the “next few weeks” to potentially reschedule cannabis, a Republican U.S. congressman announced Aug. 11 that he plans to take legislative action. U.S. House Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., pledged to reintroduce his Marijuana 1-to-3 Act this week to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I to Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act. Read more » Weed might boost your brain — here’s whyGreenState.com - Many studies have corroborated the theory that weed has both physical and mental benefits. We’re at the point where using cannabis and psychedelic drugs like psilocybin for medical reasons is fairly common—in fact, the majority of states have legalized medical weed use. Keeping with the positive tradition, a new federally funded study suggests that weed users have “enhanced cognitive abilities” across multiple domains. Nature Portfolio published a pre-print of a study this month that analyzed brain imaging and cognitive data from 37,929 participants in the United Kingdom. The participants ranged from ages 44 to 81 and were split into cannabis users (at least one time using the plant) and non-users. Users were then split into light users (one-10 times) and heavy users (more than 10 times)—thus, the study’s threshold for “cannabis user” is a rather loose one.

Elk River is among 13 Minnesota cities considering opening municipally owned cannabis stores.

Together, we can reduce waste and make a positive impact on the environment! This glaring cannabis safety issue can’t be ignoredGreenState.com - The consumer demand for cannabis inhalables (i.e., flower, vapes, or infused pre-rolls) is growing. According to BDSA consumer data, 51 percent of cannabis consumers prefer inhalables. And as such, the importance of understanding how to create the safest, highest-quality products is paramount. With this growing demand comes a unique opportunity for cannabis brands to lead with science-backed formulations and thoughtful product development. A key component of that work is toxicology: the scientific study of how substances interact with the human body. While often behind the scenes, toxicology plays a critical role in ensuring that inhalable cannabis products are both effective and safe for consumers.

From the craft farms of the Emerald Triangle to the start of medical marijuana in the Bay Area, weed is ubiquitous in the Golden State. But while California has dominated cannabis sales for years, one Midwestern state is coming for the crown. As reported by Crain’s, Michigan’s marijuana market is poised to overtake California any day now. Last year, dispensaries in the Great Lakes State hit a new milestone by out-selling CA, based on a monthly units sold metric. They already had the West Coast beat on per capita sales.

Their letter emphasizes that the legislation — a long-stalled federal reform — would provide legal clarity and a safe harbor for banks and financial institutions to serve state-licensed cannabis businesses. Such clarity, they argue, is urgently needed to address public safety risks and to improve the states’ ability to regulate and tax the booming cannabis industry. The core impetus behind the SAFER Banking Act lies in the array of problems caused by forcing a multibillion-dollar industry to operate on an almost entirely cash basis. Nearly 75% of Americans now live in a state where cannabis has been legalized in some form, and legal retail cannabis sales in the U.S. reached more than $30 billion in 2024 (up 4.5% from 2023). Yet, because of marijuana’s status as a federally controlled substance and associated federal banking restrictions, state-licensed cannabis companies today have limited or no access to traditional banking, resulting in an overwhelmingly cash-based industry. Legitimate cannabis entrepreneurs are often forced to pay employees and vendors in cash, store cash in vaults or off-site, and even pay taxes by hauling bags of currency to government offices. The cash-only mandate therefore not only creates a host of public health and safety concerns, but also undermines regulatory oversight and tax collection.
