A pair of research projects funded by $20 million in tax revenue from Michigan’s adult-use cannabis program will analyze the effects of medical marijuana in military veterans, state officials announced on Tuesday. The bulk of the money, nearly $13 million, will examine “the efficacy of marijuana in treating the medical conditions of United States armed service veterans and preventing veteran suicide,” according to recipients at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). The grant will fund the next step of a study researchers say is the first clinical trial of inhaled botanical marijuana for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and only…

Massachusetts lawmakers on Tuesday heard testimony about a bill to create a task force charged with studying the implications of legalizing psychedelics like psilocybin and ayahuasca. The legislature’s Joint Judiciary Committee met to discuss legislation from Rep. Mike Connolly (D). While members didn’t vote on the proposal, the sponsor was able to make the case for the reform, noting the emerging research that suggests entheogenic substances hold significant therapeutic potential for certain mental health conditions. He also pointed to the local reform movement that’s led three Massachusetts cities to decriminalize psychedelics so far, saying it represents “another reason why it…

Connecticut communities are proceeding with caution as the state navigates the early stages of legalized recreational marijuana. Gov. Ned Lamont made Connecticut the 19th state in the country to legalize recreational marijuana, signing a bill into law late last month that legislators has passed earlier this year. John Rosen, an economics professor at the University of New Haven, said Lamont and Connecticut lawmakers really had no choice given that neighboring states already had done so. “With Connecticut being a physically small state, people have been going to buy it in neighboring states,” he said. While experts are predicting certain aspects…

He’s not planting hemp this year, and he’s not alone. “There’s a lot of guys that just plain aren’t raising it this year,” said Cyrus, president of the Deschutes County Farm Bureau….

A powerful House committee on Thursday approved spending bills and related reports that touch on a wide range of marijuana and drug policy issues—including calls to remove roadblocks to research into cannabis, noting the lifesaving potential of safe consumption sites for illegal substances, recognizing the painkilling promise of the kratom plant and urging the development of technology to detect impairment from THC. Importantly, the legislation that cleared the House Appropriations Committee would also maintain an existing provision that shields state medical marijuana laws from intervention by the Justice Department. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, thanked…

Share this:           A new cannabis law recently enacted in Connecticut includes tight restrictions on the sale of delta-8 THC, as the state joins others around the USA that are either banning the synthetic compound or putting it under the same regulations as marijuana.

The law took effect July 1.
