It's past time for a national, common-sense approach to marijuana policy between the extremes of incarceration and commercialization.

SEPTA faces a $240 million shortfall—and riders will pay the price unless we act. In my new op-ed, I explain how legalizing adult-use cannabis could help fund public transit and other critical services—without raising broad-based taxes. 📖 cityandstatepa.com/opinion/2025/0…
The DEA no longer has an Administrative law judge, and pot stocks aren't happy.

"A Connecticut man is being held without bail [in Berkshire County MA] after allegedly stabbing two friends at a campsite Friday during what his attorney described as a cannabis-induced psychotic episode."
That’s more like it @GregAbbott_TX!
Gov. Greg Abbott reportedly said Tuesday that he supports banning intoxicating hemp products, appearing to walk back his calls last month for lawmakers to regulate the state’s burgeoning THC industry like it does for alcohol. Read more here: bit.ly/40TbQBx
Great day on the Hill doing our work- including cutting through the miles of BS that is the current discourse on psychedelics.

Cannabis use prior to hospital admission in people with severe mental illness is associated with a higher risk of transfer to a psychiatric intensive care unit during the cannabis withdrawal risk period. ja.ma/44elL6s
I’m flattered but I could’ve given you a better/more recent pic? Also- go @roneetlev!
Trump's White House Office of National Drug Control Policy is bringing on an anti-marijuana physician who has criticized federal health officials' rescheduling recommendation and said it's "insulting" to suggest cannabis has medical use. marijuanamoment.net/anti-marijuana…
And we should care because… Because he loves weed? Or he stands to make billions from legalization? Or because he’s a paragon of reason and wisdom? Lemme know, I’m on bated breath here.
Mike Tyson says he's 'tired' of hearing negatives about legal cannabis foxnews.com/sports/mike-ty…
Hey @MikeTyson you do realize Maine legalized marijuana and that’s when all of the foreign cartel activity happened right? Legalization doesn’t turn drug dealers into dentists.
Let’s make that happen
Joe, @joerogan @joeroganhq, you’re just plain wrong here. Happy to come on and explain.
Joe Rogan: "Weed kills nobody."
This is your daily reminder that rescheduling marijuana alone will do very little to increase research, do nothing to reduce penalties, and will not free anyone from prison. @MikeTyson @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @JDVance @Trulieve Working on this issue 30 years and published on…
Clemency is not tied with rescheduling marijuana. Happy to explain on your podcast anytime @MikeTyson
Glad POTUS signed HALT Fentanyl Act making Fentanyl a Schedule I. Can we please @realdonaldtrump also reschedule cannabis to a Schedule III (as the HHS recommended 2 years ago) so it can be properly researched and provide clemency to non-violent individuals still serving harsh…
I get that they have to please shareholders, But imagine if I tweeted every time we’ve had White House meetings the past few months. As someone who’s actually worked there three times, that’d be the fastest way never to get a meeting again.
Speaking on cannabis rescheduling, Senior Longtime Advisor to President Trump Bruce LeVell says "Trump will finish where Biden Failed".
What does it do to cap potency? Limit advertising? Invest in prevention and awareness to urge those under 25 not to use it? Stop kid friendly products? @senatorlaughlin
Proud to introduce #SB120 with Sen. Sharif Street (D-3), our bipartisan bill to legalize adult-use cannabis in PA. It creates the Cannabis Control Board, protects consumers, clears past offenses & invests in impacted communities. It’s time.
The good ole' ethical drug biz strikes again

Parents of dead kids. And over my dead body will the legion of weed trolls be allowed to doxx/torture them specifically.
Disclose your donors.
OK, I'll bite. (But since you asked, I don't smoke, but you do apparently?) Schedule I classification is found the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) is outlined in 21 U.S.C. § 812(b)(1). Yes, states have legalized "medical" marijuana--but medicine isn't determined by acclimation.…
What are you smoking if you write nonsense like this: “Drugs with no accepted medical use and high potential for abuse get listed on Schedule I”? Almost 40 states have medical marijuana legalized, millions of Americans are getting help from this plant. Not to mention other…
