Federal marijuana rescheduling effort challenged in congressNatLawReview.com - Last week, Republican lawmakers in Congress took a major step to block President Donald Trump’s potential move to reschedule marijuana. The GOP-controlled House Appropriations Committee approved a spending bill that would prohibit the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) from using federal funds to reschedule or deschedule marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. This move comes as the Trump administration signals it is considering reclassifying cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, a change that would have significant implications for the industry and for federal-state relations. The bill, advanced by the House Appropriations Committee, includes explicit language: “None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used to reschedule marijuana… or to remove marijuana from the schedules established under section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act.” This provision, if enacted, would effectively freeze the ongoing federal review process and reserve the authority to change marijuana’s status exclusively for Congress, rather than the executive branch. Read more » Trump and cannabis rescheduling: opportunities and limitations under Schedule IIIForbes.com - This article is the second installment in a three-part series examining the implications of federal cannabis rescheduling. In Part I, I explored the immediate compliance realities for existing operators — the nuts and bolts of how rescheduling could alter day-to-day operations. I set the stage by acknowledging that while rescheduling offers long-awaited recognition, it also brings heightened scrutiny and regulatory complexity. Now, in Part II, I turn my focus outward. I look beyond the initial compliance questions and consider the broader opportunities and limitations rescheduling creates. From the myth of Big Pharma dominance to the persistence of state-based markets, from the potential for DEA registration to the opening of global trade lanes, this piece examines how rescheduling could shape the cannabis industry’s future in the U.S. and abroad. If Part I was about the ground beneath our feet, Part II is about the horizon ahead — the chance to see through new eyes what this shift truly means as we wake up to find out that we are the eyes of the world. Read more » Scientists sniff out what gives marijuana strains their distinct aromas, revealing how terpenes and other compounds interactMarijuanaMoment.net - Researchers have conducted the first comprehensive sensory-guided study of the odor-active compounds in dried cannabis flowers, uncovering dozens of previously unknown chemicals that shape the the plant’s distinct fragrance. The findings expand scientific knowledge of marijuana beyond the common understanding of terpenes, CBD and THC. To unravel the chemistry of smell, the researchers utilized a sensory guided technique that is more familiar in food science than cannabis research. Using a gas chromatography-olfactometry device along with aroma extract dilution analysis, they cataloged the volatile compounds in marijuana and, importantly, explored which ones actually matter to the nose.

California lawmakers show rare unity in granting cannabis tax cutSFGate.com - California lawmakers are throwing a lifeline to the troubled legal cannabis industry, approving a cannabis tax cut that the industry says will prevent further business failures. Lawmakers gave final approval to the bill last week, sending the measure to the desk of Newsom, who has previously committed to signing it into law. The measure would drop the state excise tax on cannabis from 19% to 15% on Oct. 1 and maintain that tax rate until June 30, 2028. Read more » Congress moves to cancel cannabis reschedulingGreenState.com - The cannabis community has waited with bated breath to see if President Trump will reclassify the plant on the federal level. The process began three years ago; last month, Trump promised a decision was imminent. Many advocates believe the president will endorse moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, but due to recent Congressional action, it could be a moot point. Earlier this month, a group of Congressional lawmakers approved a bill that would block the Department of Justice (DOJ) from rescheduling cannabis. Specifically, the DOJ could not use federal funds to reclassify marijuana. Read more » Frequent cannabis users show no driving impairment after 48-hour breakPsyPost.org - A new study published in Psychopharmacology suggests that frequent cannabis users show no significant driving impairment in a simulator after a break of at least two days. The findings from the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at the University of California San Diego challenge some common assumptions about the lingering effects of cannabis and could have significant implications for public health and traffic safety laws. Cannabis is a plant that contains chemical compounds called cannabinoids, with the most well-known being delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is responsible for the plant’s psychoactive effects. As cannabis use becomes more widespread, both for medicinal and recreational purposes, understanding its full range of effects on complex, real-world activities is a pressing concern for scientists and policymakers.

Greg Abbott signed an executive order on Sept. 10 that directs three state agencies to implement polices to further regulate the state’s multibillion-dollar market for hemp products containing THC and other intoxicating cannabinoids.

California’s small cannabis farmers have been left high and dryTheNation.com - Dan Golden has been growing weed for almost 20 years. As he hand-watered his plants on his 70-acre farm, he maintained a firm stare. He’s long abstained from alcohol—ever since his daughter was born—and his daily routine begins at 6 am. “This is life or death for me. I’ve never done anything else,” said Golden. The property is seated in a narrow valley in Humboldt County, California, a three-hour drive from the nearest store in Garberville, with large rock outcroppings running east to west. Before 2020, he owned the land outright, but four years ago, he was forced to refinance it to pay for the exorbitant fees and permits required to be a compliant legal cannabis farmer. Cannabis has long been part of counterculture in America, and arguably no place and its peoples have done more to fuel the evolution of the plant and its mythos than Humboldt County. And yet, perversely, no place has been as left behind by legalization.

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., one of the top Democrats serving on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, reintroduced the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act on Aug. 29. The 91-page legislation, now in its fourth rendition, would federally legalize cannabis by removing it entirely from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
