🚨 Police in #Georgia, #Louisiana, #NorthCarolina, #Pennsylvania, #SouthCarolina, #Tennessee, #Texas, and #Wisconsin made well over 100,000 #marijuana arrests in 2024, the overwhelming majority of which were for low-level possession — not cultivation, trafficking, or sales. #NORML #cannabis

🚨 "This policy decision runs contrary to President Trump's comments while on the campaign trail, when he said: 'We do not need to ruin lives and waste taxpayers' dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them.'" #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #maga

🚨 Most unregulated hemp-derived products in #Missouri possess quantities of THC well above federal standards, many contain synthetically derived cannabinoids, & nearly ⅓ of samples also tested positive for potentially harmful contaminants, like heavy metals. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #hemp #delta8

🗣️ NORML has consistently urged the FDA to establish regulatory guidelines governing the production, testing, labeling, and marketing of hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoid products, but has argued against recriminalizing them. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #hemp

🌿 "NORML deputy director Paul Armentano said the federal prohibition on regular #cannabis drives demand for the synthetic alternative. Banning the #hemp alternatives outright, Armentano said, 'will likely fail to either reduce consumer demand for these products or increase consumer safety.'" #NORML

🌿Get your tickets now for the 2026 Virginia Cannabis Conference in Richmond, January 23-25. virginiacannabisconference.com

⚖️ The 10th Circuit decision is consistent with rulings issued earlier this year by federal courts in Arkansas and Virginia, which also determined that state governments retain the ability to restrict the sales of hemp-derived intoxicating products. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #hemp #Wyoming

🌿"NORML has launched its 2025 Cannabis Consumer Survey, inviting people who use cannabis, recreationally or medically, as well as those who do not consume, to share their experiences, concerns, and policy priorities." #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #survey

⚖️ "Virginia law is clear and explicit in protecting the employment rights of medical cannabis patients, including those who are public employees," said NORML's JM Pedini. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #Virginia #firefighters #employmentlaw

🚨 Marijuana-related prosecutions remain the primary driver of drug war enforcement in states where cannabis remains criminalized. With few exceptions, marijuana arrests fall precipitously in jurisdictions that legalize and regulate the adult-use market. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #arrests

✅ "Governor-elect Spanberger's administration has an opportunity to do what the Youngkin administration could not: implement a well-regulated adult-use #cannabis market that prioritizes consumer safety, product transparency, and public revenue over illicit sales." #NORML #marijuana #Virginia

🚨 State officials have failed to allocate any of the $34M to fund research or other public health priorities, as stipulated by law. A spokesperson for the Treasurer's office said that the funds "will remain unallocated until federal law changes." #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #WestVirginia

🗳 "Elections decide whether cannabis consumers are treated as constituents whose rights and safety matter or as political afterthoughts. For those who care about #cannabis policy reform, this #election is not an event to be watched from the sidelines; it is a turning point." #NORML #marijuana #vote

🌿 Over 56% of survey respondents acknowledged consuming either "slightly less" or "much less" alcohol after trying cannabis-infused beverages. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #alcohol #thc

🌿 "Understanding self-titration is critical for developing evidence-based regulatory strategies," researchers concluded. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis

⚖️ NORML believes that responsible cannabis consumers should not face federal prosecution simply for exercising their Second Amendment rights. Soon, we will seek to advocate before the nation’s highest court to ensure that their voices are heard. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #2A #supremecourt

🌿 Investigators concluded, "Medical or recreational cannabis laws may be significantly associated with reduced opioid use among patients diagnosed with cancer." #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #opioids #cancer

😙💨 Contrary to investigators' expectations, cannabis consumers were less likely than non-users to develop chronic rhinitis and similar sinonasal diseases, with more frequent consumers possessing the lowest risk. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #rhinitis #rhinosinusitis

🚨 Florida health officials are actively identifying and revoking patients' access to medical cannabis, as required by legislation signed into law earlier this year by republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #Florida #DeSantis

😡 This bill is a slap in the face to the millions of Ohioans who voted in favor of Issue 2. Once again, politicians are arrogantly trying to claim that the public didn't know what they were voting for. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #Ohio

✅ "Time and time again, local lawmakers in marijuana prohibition states are advancing these common sense decriminalization measures when state legislators refuse to take action," NORML's Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #decriminalization #Wisconsin

🚨 The stakes couldn’t be higher. State and local law enforcement made over 200,000 marijuana-related arrests in 2024. 92% were for possession only. No one should go to jail simply for the responsible use of cannabis. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #arrests #warondrugs

⚖️ Responsible cannabis consumers, and particularly those residing in jurisdictions where marijuana is legally regulated, must no longer be threatened with federal prosecution and prison simply for exercising their 2nd Amendment rights. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #supremecourt #2A

🌿 The Michigan Cannabis Industry Association has filed a lawsuit to block the implementation of the state's newly enacted marijuana tax. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #Michigan

😴💨 THC and/or CBN were associated with a significant improvement, whereas CBD alone did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #sleep #THC #CBN #CBD #cannabinol #insomnia

🚨 According to the FBI database, police made at least 204,036 arrests for marijuana-related violations last year. This total is likely an underestimate because some law enforcement agencies fail to report their arrest data to the FBI. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #FBI #arrests

📉 Investigators identified a "consistent relationship" between the adoption of adult-use legalization laws and decreasing opioid overdose deaths, with early adopter states experiencing the most significant declines. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #opioids #overdose

🚓💨 The Court's majority opinion acknowledged that the use of cannabis in certain circumstances is legally regulated statewide. Therefore, state and local police can no longer presume that the odor of marijuana is, by definition, probable cause of a crime. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #Florida

🚫 A recent Missouri Supreme Court decision restricts which marijuana-related offenses are eligible for expungement under the voter-approved law. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #expungement #Missouri

🌿 Clinical trial participants taking cannabis extracts experienced greater short-term and long-term pain relief, as well as superior sleep quality. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #clinicaltrial #backpain

JM Pedini from NORML Virginia gives the first presentation and one thing that sticks out is how there is a vacant area in the state that does not have legal cannabis providers.

🌿 Investigators reported "clinically important" improvements in patients' pain severity, anxiety, sleep quality, and overall quality of life following cannabis treatment. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #crps #complexregionalpainsyndrome

🌿 This week, hundreds of activists rallied at the state capitol in protest of the proposed 24% increase. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #Michigan

🚨 No one should ever be arrested or jailed for the responsible use of cannabis. Yet every two minutes, someone in America is arrested for violating marijuana laws. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana

🚫 The Court determined that no "common right" exists for retailers to sell hemp-derived psychoactive products because they "are now and have always been illegal in Maryland." #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #Maryland #hemp #delta8

🌿 Patients experienced "dramatic reductions" in anxiety during the first week of the trial, and they exhibited "significant improvements" on assessments of mood, sleep, and quality of life throughout the duration of the study. #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #cbd #anxiety
