Is it time for India to legalize weed? 🌿For centuries, cannabis has been a part of Indian culture—used in rituals, Ayurveda, and even celebrated during Holi with bhaang. But while bhaang remains legal, other forms like weed and hash were banned in 1985 due to U.S. pressure. With countries like Canada and Germany embracing legalization, should India reconsider?
In this video, we break down everything: the differences between weed, hash, and bhaang, the historical and cultural significance of cannabis, and the pros and cons of its use. while addressing the concerns around addiction, the ‘gateway drug’ debate, and how government bans have fueled the rise of unregulated, low-quality cannabis in the market.
With legalization talks gaining momentum in India, is it finally time for a change? Watch our in-depth analysis and join the conversation!

DEA Hearing on Marijuana Rescheduling Delayed Amid Legal Challenge #GTBIF #MSOS #GTBIFStock

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Facts. No Comments on DEA Hearing on Marijuana Rescheduling Delayed Amid Legal Challenge #GTBIF #MSOS #GTBIFStock

A DEA hearing on the Biden administration’s marijuana rescheduling plans, initially set for January 21, has been canceled due to a legal challenge by pro-rescheduling proponents.

DEA Judge John Mulrooney rejected arguments about how alleged improper communications and witness selection decisions by DEA Administrator Anne Milgram warranted the agency’s removal from the process but allowed an interlocutory appeal, pausing proceedings for at least three months.

Mulrooney criticized DEA procedural missteps that could delay rulemaking indefinitely and highlighted troubling communications between agency officials and anti-rescheduling witnesses.

Mulrooney noted the communication as “disturbing and embarrassing revelation”.

The proposal aims to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.

How Smoking Weed Affects Your Health

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Facts. No Comments on How Smoking Weed Affects Your Health

Cannabis is used by Americans across the country to treat all manner of health conditions, with the science backing up these health claims. But beyond the relief and euphoria that cannabis can offer, there’s pushback to the legalization trend: experts say there’s increasing evidence of long-term harms. VITALS host Sheena Williams debunks five surprising health-related myths about cannabis use with the help of cannabis specialist Dr. Peter Grinspoon.

Marijuana Use Disorder
While one study estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use disorder, another study estimated that people who use cannabis have only a 10% likelihood of becoming “addicted.” The measurement and classification of cannabis use disorder as an addiction is controversial: as Dr. Grinspoon explains, “[cannabis] does help people. It helps people with anxiety, with pain, with sleep, with boredom, with loneliness…And it’s not a simple thing to disentangle—you can’t just write off a third of patients.”

Cannabis Use and Schizophrenia
Using Danish health records for over six million individuals, one study found that as many as 30% of cases of schizophrenia among men aged 21 to 30 could have been prevented had they avoided cannabis use disorder. The study author, however, flagged that Denmark does not have as much diversity as the US and that genetics do play a role in schizophrenia risk. Again, a correlation isn’t enough to imply causation, but the study findings may warrant caution.

Lines down the block to buy marijuana as recreational use is legalized in Maryland

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Lines down the block to buy marijuana as recreational use is legalized in Maryland

Recreational use of marijuana for those 21 or older became legal in Maryland Saturday, and people eager to wake up and smell the weed were lined up outside of dispensaries to be among the first to purchase the drug under the new state law.

“It relaxes me, helps me through my pain, helps me deal with life, helps make life a little more enjoyable,” said Kirk Palmer, who was fourth in line at RISE Silver Spring before it opened.

RISE Silver Spring, previously a medical marijuana dispensary, is one of 18 facilities in Montgomery County now selling cannabis for recreational use. CEO Ben Kovlar travels across the country as states legalize, and he often sees lines before dispensaries open, as in Silver Spring.

“This is not a brand new product,” Kovlar said. “People overwhelmingly have tried this and used it before and are saying ‘wow it’s so much easier, cleaner, nicer now I know what I’m getting, I can trust this product.'”

Kovlar said Illinois and New Jersey are among the top states in recreational sales.

It’s anywhere from $35 to $60 for an eighth of an ounce, which is the standard portion size sold, varying based on potency. RISE says it typically doubles its profits when dispensaries begin selling recreational marijuana.

“I’ve been to California and Colorado, it’s finally good to see it come to Maryland, customer Eric Ford said Saturday. “It’s been a long time.”

Marijuana remains prohibited for federal workers, which may impact its popularity around the nation’s capitol.

In Maryland, adults at least 21 years old can now legally possess up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower according to state law. And while you can consume it in a private setting, it’ll still be illegal to use in public places, including parks, streets and sidewalks.

“Even though adults have the right to use marijuana, that doesn’t give you the right to expose others to it, especially children,” said Marc Elrich, Montgomery County executive. “It should be used legally responsibly within the possession limits established by state law. We’re not treating this as a free for all in Montgomery County.”

Studies, including a 2021 Canadian Medical Association report, have shown a connection between legalization and car crashes. Police have been training to recognize impairment behind the wheel.

Federal Cannabis Legalization News June 2023

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Federal Cannabis Legalization News June 2023

#Federal #Cannabis #Legalization News June 2023
Cannabis legalization is a hot topic across the world. In recent news, Mexico and Canada have both passed legislation that will legalize recreational use of cannabis. The move marks the first time in history that two of North America’s largest countries have taken such action to regulate the drug’s use.

Other countries and regions are taking notice and considering their own measures for legalizing marijuana. In Europe, Switzerland recently declared its intention to allow limited sale of cannabis in pharmacies starting in 2021. Meanwhile, South Africa is looking set to become the second African country (after Lesotho) to legalize medical marijuana.

These moves come after decades of criminalization and social stigma surrounding the drug – both as a recreational substance and medicine. With these new laws, advocates believe more research can be conducted into potential medical uses for cannabis, which could lead to further breakthroughs in treatment and therapy.

Federal Legalization News | Cannabis Legalizations News

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Federal Legalization News | Cannabis Legalizations News

The news of federal cannabis legalization is sweeping the nation, bringing with it a tidal wave of optimism and enthusiasm. Many stakeholders in the marijuana industry have been eagerly awaiting this moment and are now celebrating the long-awaited move to legalize at the federal level.

This historic change comes as part of the broader effort to reform marijuana laws across the country and end the War on Drugs. As part of this effort, President Joe Biden has proposed a sweeping package of pardons for those with marijuana convictions, which will help pave the way for individuals to heal from generations of criminalization.

The Schumer legalization bill in the US Senate is a key component of the larger effort to reform marijuana laws nationwide. The bill, introduced by Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), would remove cannabis from the list of Schedule I drugs, thereby decriminalizing it and allowing states to regulate it as they see fit. It would also expunge federal.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has labeled tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-o), a synthetic psychoactive derived from hemp, as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This designation places THC-o in the same category as heroin, LSD and ecstasy and makes it illegal to possess or use.

Recreational marijuana is currently legal in a few states, but Gillbrand, one of the many 2020 democratic presidential candidates, would make federal cannabis legalization a priority. But the 2020 Democrat’s plan wouldn’t just be limited to marijuana legalization. Gillibrand would fight to right the wrongs of the war on drugs as part of her legal marijuana plan. The 2020 Democratic primary for the White House is heating up and we still have over a year to go. If Gillibrand gets elected it might be time to buy more pot stocks.

1. Joe Biden – Against
The former Vice President’s voting record on weed is poor Biden helped shape anti-drug policy as a Senator in the ‘80s and ‘90s and defended civil asset forfeiture. He recently said he regretted supporting those stances, but as Vice President in 2010, he called weed ‘a gateway drug.’

2. Cory Booker – For
The New Jersey Senator has prioritized cannabis legalization in his campaign In 2015, he introduced the CARERS Act to reschedule cannabis and has consistently condemned the drug war. Booker introduced the Marijuana Justice Act on Feb 28, 2019, which seeks to reverse damages of the war on drugs by expunging cannabis records and giving job priority to people who were directly affected.

3. Pete Buttigieg – For
The 2-term mayor of South Bend, IN is an advocate for social justice In Feb 2019, he told the Boston Globe ‘The safe, regulated, and legal sale of marijuana is an idea whose time has come for the United States, as evidenced by voters demanding legalization in states across the country.’

4. Julián Castro – For
As former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under Barack Obama, he published a memo requiring owners of federal housing facilities to deny entry to people who use cannabis, even state-legal patients. In 2017, in response to a possible crackdown by the Trump administration, Castro tweeted ‘A mistake. Colorado and other states have shown we can sensibly legalize marijuana with reasonable controls.’ Castro does not have a voting record on cannabis.

6. Tulsi Gabbard – For
The Congresswoman from Hawaii spoke about cannabis in her campaign launch speech, criticizing a criminal justice system that ‘…puts people in prison for smoking marijuana while allowing corporations like Purdue Pharma, who are responsible for the opioid-related deaths of thousands of people, to walk away scot-free with their coffers full.’

7. Kirsten Gillibrand – For
The New York Senator and former Congresswoman cosponsored Booker’s Marijuana Justice Act and has a lengthy history of supporting pro-cannabis legislation.

8. Kamala Harris – For
The California Senator is a cosponsor of the Marijuana Justice Act and SAFE Banking Act, which would allow federal banking institutions to deal with money from cannabis businesses Harris has said addiction should be treated as a public health crisis instead of a criminal justice issue She’s made cannabis legalization and social justice staples of her campaign.

9. John Hickenlooper – For
The former Governor of Colorado signed the proposition to legalize cannabis statewide in 2012 At the time, he wasn’t entirely pro-legalization, and he warned other governors to approach cannabis reform with caution Hickenlooper has since advocated for states’ rights regarding cannabis legalization.

10. Jay Inslee – For
The Washington Gov. was in office when the state legalized cannabis in 2012 After announcing his 2020 bid, he said, ‘…and it’s about time we do it nationwide’ Inslee launched a ‘Marijuana Justice Initiative’ in 2019 to pardon non-violent cannabis offenders in Washington.

11. Amy Klobuchar – For
The Minnesota Senator cosponsored the STATES Act, which would allow states to craft their own cannabis laws, as well as 3 other pieces of progressive cannabis legislation.

14. Beto O’Rourke – For
The former Texas Congressman has advocated for cannabis reform. ‘It’s time to end the war on drugs. That starts by ending the federal prohibition on marijuana’ Tweet (sep 21, 2018) He strongly supports veterans’ access to medical cannabis and is a vocal proponent of social justice in weed legalization legislation.

16. Bernie Sanders – For
The Vermont Senator is all in on cannabis law reform As a member of Congress, he cosponsored a bill to legalize medical weed more than 20 years ago.

The Looming Cost of Marijuana Legalization | NBC4 I-Team

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on The Looming Cost of Marijuana Legalization | NBC4 I-Team

The cannabis craze has caught fire across the country, with ten states already passing recreational marijuana laws. Now, with legalization on the horizon for the tri-state, Colorado may offer a good example of what life can be like with legal weed.

Marijuana has sparked profitable opportunities for large-scale growers, producers and retail distributors in the Rocky Mountain state. Colorado’s Department of Revenue reported more than $266 million in revenue since recreational marijuana became available for consumption in 2014.

NBC New York went there for a five-part series, “Pot’s Real Price,” examining both the opportunities and the risks in legalization. See Sarah Wallace’s first report here

New York Senator Diane Savino On Cannabis Legalization | Op-Ed | NowThis

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on New York Senator Diane Savino On Cannabis Legalization | Op-Ed | NowThis

‘We shouldn’t be afraid to advocate for adult-use cannabis.’ — Public support is growing for cannabis legalization, and this state senator thinks it’s time for the federal government to catch up.
» Subscribe to NowThis: http://go.nowth.is/News_Subscribe

New York State Senator Diane Savino: ”In 2014, New York became the 23rd state to legalize medical cannabis.

Millions of Americans now live in a state where cannabis use is legal for adults 21 and over, and millions more live in a state where medical use is legal.

In a society where a growing majority of its citizens support cannabis legalization, our federal policies remain outdated and untouched.

Under federal law, cannabis is treated as a schedule 1 drug, such as heroin or LSD.

This level of cognitive dissonance between Congress and the states is astounding.

In the eyes of the federal government, cannabis is seen as highly addictive and as having no medical benefits.

But through the eyes of the public, it is viewed much more favorably.

As we enter the midterm elections, Democrats in swing districts should be looking to cannabis policy reform to bolster their support.

Public support for adult-use cannabis has risen exponentially over the last few years, and recent polling suggests that support for the issue can actually be especially helpful in Congressional swing districts.

There’s not much difference between the percentage of Democrats and Republicans who support adult use. It’s an issue that, across the board, people can get behind.

And unlike in the past when some Democrats would hide their viewpoints on both medical and adult legalization for fear of turning off voters, the opposite is now true.

In New York, I’ve worked with my colleagues in government who had previously opposed legalization, but have since witnessed the benefits in other states and the shift in public perception.

In just the last few years, its popularity has grown among my colleagues.

Polling also shows it makes people more likely to vote for candidates who support adult-use cannabis, and what’s even more important is that the percentage that would be less likely to vote for a candidate who supports adult-use cannabis is considerably low, especially among independents.

This year alone, we have seen candidates across New York and the nation running unabashedly on marijuana legalization. It’s not only smart politics, it’s smart policy.

Areas that have been struck by the opioid crisis should especially take note.

The area that I represent in Staten Island, has been hit particularly hard by this epidemic, and marijuana could be the solution for many struggling with addiction.

Current treatments for opioid addiction, such as suboxone and methadone, are as addictive as the opioids that patients came into treatments for. Marijuana is not.

The benefits of medical cannabis can be truly life changing and polling data has shown that it has shifted the public perception of this policy. It’s a low risk, high reward stance to take.

So as Democrats we shouldn’t be afraid to advocate for adult-use cannabis, we should be encouraging each other to do so.

During the next legislative session in New York, we will present a comprehensive marijuana legalization package, and I expect a successful passage, which will make New York the 10th state in the nation to legalize marijuana. That number will only continue to grow.’
