Delaware Marijuana Legalization Bill Fails In House—Even Though Most Representatives Voted For It – Marijuana Moment
A Connecticut legislative committee on Friday approved a bill that would set the state up to provide certain patients with access to psychedelic-assisted treatment with substances like MDMA and psilocybin. Before the vote, several members of the joint Public Health Committee remarked on the compelling testimony of top military officials, advocates and scientists who spoke about their experiences and the potential impact of the reform at a hearing earlier this week. The legislation was approved on a noncontroversial basis as part of the panel’s consent calendar. It now advances to floor consideration. The measure, HB 5396, would create psychedelic treatment…

The police commissioners voted unanimously in support of adopting a new, revised version of New Haven Police Department General Order 2.05: Alcohol And Drug Policy. Once signed into place by Interim Police…

The Bible is life’s skeleton key: a document that, in the right (or wrong) hands, can be useful for justifying (or condemning) just about anything. That latest interpretation of divine will is why the Catholic Church opposes marijuana legalization in Minnesota. Last year, with support from Gov. Tim Walz, a legalization bill passed the Democratic Party-controlled state House. Getting through the Republican majority state Senate will require support from reluctant Republicans—and will have to survive opposition from a coalition called Minnesotans Against Marijuana Legalization, which consists of the state police officers’ union, truckers and the Minnesota Catholic Conference (MCC), the Church’s policy shop. Special…
