His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath

A bill sponsored by Cal NORML, AB 564 (Haney) would block a pending excise tax increase on #cannabis, from 15% to as much as 19% starting on July 1, 2025. Cannabis is already unfairly overtaxed in California. #StopHigherTaxes

The "Dept of Govt Efficiency" (isn't that an oxymoron?) is off to an unpromising start. Vivek Ramaswamy advocates increasing the DEA budget.

If there was ever a govt agency that should be on the chopping block, it's the Dept of Drug Enforcement Abuse.

VAC Councilmember Etienne Fontan told Marijuana Moment on Monday that the group is “exploring the appeal option and consulting with counsel on that issue, since the judge recommended that in his footnotes.”
19.11.2024 02:45 — 👍 8 🔁 3 💬 0 📌 0I discovered a pretty crazy stat in reporting this story. Last week a Southern California mega farm reported harvesting 232,000 pounds of cannabis in the previous quarter. That's more pot than all 1,000+ farms in Humboldt County harvested during the same time period, combined.

There are concerns that Trump’s marijuana reform will prioritize business interests over the concerns of everyday Americans—like health, preventing corporate control of legal markets & ending federal criminalization.
