Bureaucrats stall while the states scramble. The DOJ just asked for another delay on cannabis rescheduling — pushing it off until January 2026. Trump’s out here hyping CBD for seniors like it’s the fountain of youth, sending weed stocks 🚀 — while the FDA quietly starts tracking “adverse events” from hemp products.
Down in Texas, regulators banned THCA sales to anyone under 21 and called “THCA hemp flower” basically illegal. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom trolled D.C. about legalization, then signed AB 8 — pulling intoxicating hemp under the cannabis framework and bragging about 99.8% compliance.
Oh, and Pennsylvania wants to legalize weed to plug its budget hole, Wisconsin GOP leaders just dropped a handcuffed medical bill, and Curaleaf faces a whistleblower suit over “systemic diversion.” Another week, another case study in how not to do federal policy.
