Lawmakers who vote against or prevent legalization/decriminalizing cannabis can expect pushback.
Proven alternatives consistently demonstrate prohibition results in more harm.
Waging war rooted in bias & fallacy was never a long-term solution, now cannabis isn't Schedule 1...

Cannabis Use Prevalence Before & Early After Partial Legalisation in Germany
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4272…
23 surveys—2022–2026 (~36,000, aged 14–64)—tracked past-year use & daily/near-daily use before & after. 6.4% reported past-year use—no significant change in trends after reform.
A haunted house, except it's the same tired approaches of drug exceptionalism & biased stereotypes...🎃👻

Major congrats to Dr. Mazeyar Gashti in the exploration into hemp & biobased products!🌿✅
"CBD-based smart biomaterial platforms represent a highly promising approach for next-gen therapeutic systems with improved efficacy, safety & clinical potential."

Marijuana dispensaries & neighborhood crime: Evidence from a statewide natural experiment in Ohio
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Neighbourhoods where licensed cannabis dispensaries are located experience decreases in crime and upticks in economic activity. Researchers report consistently robust decreases in total serious & property crime and customer growth at nearby establishments. norml.org/blog/2026/10/26/an…
drug exceptionalism at its peak...
A Supreme Court case underlines the absurdity of the federal ban on home distilling. Criminalizing the hobby is morally indefensible and inconsistent with the treatment of wine and beer. reason.com/2026/10/28/a-scot…

Does this look like a united country that consistently prioritizes health & human rights?
Killing tools have more protection in some states than live-saving therapies.
A Constitution protecting state's rights, freedom of speech & pursuit of happiness does not look like this:
I am grateful to have sampled for a new CBD grower this morning in NE Kansas! 🌿🌞
It sure would be a shame if this was their one and only harvest any time soon all because another wave of biased policies came through driven by competing interests... #kshemp
These data were presented to Topeka Mayor @SpencerLDuncan 3/9/26 & we hope to continue working towards sustainable, evidence-based policies for Topekans and all Kansans.
A main takeaway:
Even crime and overdose halo effects in Reno have occurred from cannabis decrim in Wichita.

Overdoses are the leading cause of death for American adults under age 45.
At the #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26, we announced a new $150 million commitment to our overdose prevention initiative, expanding efforts to make treatment available in all correctional facilities and emergency rooms in six states.
It’s an ambitious goal — but, over the last ten years, the Bloomberg American Health Initiative has helped raise the bar for what’s possible.

I need to address an intentional tragedy unfolding:
KS' karatom/7-OH ban that took effect July 1 is causing devastating, predicted havoc.
News isn't covering it, but community-based organizations know what's happening.
Compounds can carry risk.
Criminalizing use increases it...
My good friend who works at a well-known gas station franchise told me last night:
Since July, they have been forced to administer Narcan 4 times to people overdosing.
It had never happened prior to 7/2026.
This is a crisis not being addressed by your nonadaptive law, #ksleg
