Reginald Reefer’s Top 10 of 2023 – Cannabis Yearly Round up!
As we’re coming to the end of 2023, I think it’s “high time” to create my yearly summary of most important/interesting/viewed cannabis related stories of 2023.
Earlier this year I walked us through the modern history of cannabis, and when I reached this year, I said, “There’s just so much shit that happened this year that I’d write an article about it dedicated to the whole year…”
Well, this is that article.
So here goes Reginald Reefer’s Top 10 of 2023!
P.S – This is in no particular order. That shit is hard to quantify.
STORY 1: Federal Court Rules Gun ban for cannabis users unconstitutional
Kicking off our top ten, we have a big win for civil liberties and cannabis rights. A federal appeals court ruled the federal ban prohibiting cannabis consumers from owning firearms unconstitutional. Judges rejected the Justice Department’s arguments attempting to justify disarming marijuana users as an historical precedent.
The ruling states nothing in 18th or 19th century laws specifically restricted gun ownership for those using intoxicating substances. While laws regulated firearms and intoxicants separately, no legislation singled out substance users for firearm bans.
The court even cited the Founding Fathers’ familiarity growing hemp for practical uses, noting they remained unaware of modern cannabis consumption methods. But this nuance only highlights the absurdity of restricting civil rights around a agricultural product humans cultivated beneficially across centuries.
Especially considering alcohol’s notoriety fueling violence, the opinion states past laws never disarmed regular drinkers later while sober. So even present problematic behaviors like drunk driving remain circumstantial, not blanket justifications for rescinding basic constitutional rights.
The ruling does allow prohibiting intoxicated individuals from immediately possessing guns given temporary impairment concerns. But overall it affirms no sufficient legal grounds exist constricting ownership rights of sober citizens based on extracurricular substance use alone.
This precedent promises immense impact litigation-wise by finally uprooting a stubborn pillar of the drug war threatening owners. It signals the welcome erosion of the thin justifications underpinning prohibition policies from increasingly untenable positions.
While citizens celebrate expanding liberties on one social frontier, global digital frontiers also shift…
Story 2: Twitter (X) becomes first social media platform to allow cannabis businesses to advertise
While expanding rights on one social frontier, the next story profiles a pioneer crossing new digital frontiers – Elon Musk. His Twitter platform made history as the first major social media outlet officially allowing state-legal cannabis companies to advertise.
Contrast this to more puritanical sites still banning cannabis ads despite changing public attitudes. Musk’s maverick move aligns with his disruption of stagnant industries, applying libertarian principles of open commerce and free speech to emerging sectors.
By welcoming this growing cannabis industry onto global communications conduits, Musk catalyzes incredible opportunities while highlighting the silliness of lingering stigma in 2023. We know advertisers will be chomping at the bit to utilize these new channels and that competitors will eventually follow suit.
Once all social platforms inevitability open doors after Twitter’s lead, prepare for an interstellar level marketing war blitzing through screens daily. The cannabis sector just gained prime territory for brand visibility and unprecedented direct customer access almost overnight thanks to unorthodox innovation.
This unpredictable industry liberation perfectly encapsulates Musk himself – a visionary guided by first principles quickly executing what others dismiss as impractical or extreme. His instincts for undervalued ventures produce immense shifts.
And despite some polarizing aspects, Musk consistently foregrounds individual liberty in business and culture above restrictive gatekeeping. This maverick ethos explains the characteristic boldness in welcoming a controversial sector scorned by self-important arbiters of propriety. But the profits will speak volumes.
By empowering enterprise freedom and consumer choice simultaneously with this watershed cannabis move, Musk’s Twitter embodies the frontier spirit crossing boundaries to unlock progress. The ripples from this unprecedented social media brand integration will likely transform economies and attitudes alike.
Speaking of the tragic toll when boundaries overstep in limiting freedoms, our next item also made international headlines.
Story 3: Britney Griner released from Russian Prison for cannabis
Speaking of the unjust toll when laws overstep reasonable boundaries, our next story profiles the harrowing ordeal of basketball icon Brittney Griner. Russian authorities arrested then convicted her of possessing less than 1 gram of cannabis oil through draconian measures. Despite the recent US state-level reforms, Griner’s case illustrated the drastic global legal discrepancies still surrounding the plant that can disrupt lives.
Initially sentenced to nine grueling years in prison, Griner endured nearly a year of harsh penal captivity before returning home through a prisoner exchange deal. But no personal possession amount deserves such disproportionate state coercion disrupting careers and liberty by any ethical standard.
Griner’s high-profile incident encapsulates the ultimate irrationality underpinning any carceral model around consensual adult cannabis use or possession. No practical or moral logic supports incarcerating non-violent individuals for utilizing traditionally safe botanical remedies.
Yet obsolete cultural myths around certain psychoactive flora pervade globally through colonialist residues, sustaining inhumane policies. So while celebrating Griner’s overdue release, the hypocrisy still rings loudly considering America imprisons thousands for equally minor cannabinoid offenses. Vindictive systems profit from this theater measuring “justice”.
The case highlighted truth that until fully embracing enlightened harm reduction regulations, needless suffering persists around ingesting elements of common plants. No healing herbs justify stripping security and community from individuals.
While applauding Griner’s inspirational grace under fire, this injustice spotlights why more citizens reassess the war on human nature pharmaceutically waged upon us without consent. For no happiness should hinge on permission slips for flowers or fungi. Our next story explores this prohibition’s erosion as public opinion cultivates conscientious policy soil.
A new poll reveals most Americans agree the drug war constitutes failed governance requiring urgent overhaul. When even Republicans concur after 50 years of immeasurable costs, the people signal to cease allowing state violence disguising moralism. The tides turn.
Story 4: Massive Study of over 63 million people found cannabis legalization does not lead to increased psychosis diagnoses
A massive new study rebuts a common legalization objection – that increasing cannabis access theoretically promotes psychotic disorders in the population. Prohibitionists often argue this mental health speculation justifies restricting adult access. But groundbreaking data now challenges this narrative.
Recently researchers evaluated a pool of 63 million Medicare recipients over 14 years contrasting psychosis rates and state policy shifts around legalized medical and recreational cannabis. This enormous sample size produced perhaps the most definitive insights to date into this lingering public health concern.
If prohibitionist rhetoric held weight, liberalizing laws expanding cannabis commerce should reveal spikes in related clinical psychosis diagnoses as usage patterns hypothetically shift. But intriguingly, no statistically significant uptick emerged at all across the regions or demographics.
In fact psychotic disorders rates flatlined through the advent of major liberalization reforms. This real-world correlation disputes dire warnings about the dangerous mental health influence of store-bought cannabis. Although paradoxically, no parallel concern exists limiting alcohol linked frequently to psychosis despite its less promising research profile.
While not implying outright cannabis-psychosis causality, the political exploitation of this exaggerated uncertainty to deny adult access faces deep scrutiny now. These latest findings align with prior studies finding no concerning population impact from regulated expansion.
If anything, the robust data suggests improved product quality control and clinical oversight through legal channels optimizes harm reduction over uncontrolled criminalization. And the sheer statistical scope reinforces confidence – over 60 million patient records spanning a decade and half across all states represents authoritative perspective.
This revelations promise profound influence informing future drug policy discussions by deflating a once presumed Achilles’ heel argument against reform. While research continues shedding light, old boogeymen lose teeth rapidly on the march towards national normalization.
Story 5: CDC Study finds cannabis legalization leading to lower teen use
Shifting focus to America’s youth, a promising new CDC study discovered no increase and even declines in teen cannabis use correlated to adult-use legalization reforms. This counterintuitive finding contradicts longtime warnings from prohibitionists insisting state retail expansion would exacerrate youth consumption and addiction rates.
Analyzing extensive federal survey data spanning years before early legalization experiments up through recent times, the trends grew increasingly clear – young cannabis usage has dropped steadily across the board from peak levels in 2009-2013 as more jurisdictions embrace regulated adult-use models.
In fact teen usage rates accelerated their ongoing dip post-2013 when Colorado and Washington first pioneered the state-level adult-use paradigm. This real-world result powerfully refutes rhetoric insisting legal storefronts and advertising would normalize pot smoking among kids.
Across every metric – monthly use, yearly use, lifetime use – the CDC found teenage relationship with cannabis not only failed to intensify but solidified substantial downward shifts in the prohibitionist claimed legalization fallout. This remained consistent even accounting for anomalous pandemic years disrupting substance access through isolation policies.
The credible data aligns with early results from initial legalization pioneer states showing youth use declining despite access expanding for adults. Colorado youth currently use cannabis at lower rates than national averages.
While further study must continue contextualizing multiple influencing societal variables, this CDC analysis importantly demonstrates real-world legalization implementation curtailing underage consumption rather than stoking it.
These insights carry immense weight informing states still fearfully abstaining from reform. As scientifically unfounded worries around promoting youth use dissolve under factual scrutiny, the rationale for delaying aligned public policy weakens further. And communities witness how social openness allows better oversight than blanket demonization.
Story 6: Singapore Executes Man for 2 Pounds of Pot
While legal access progresses domestically, our next disheartening story examines the tragic cost of outdated international prohibition. Despite waves of reform recently washing over even Asian regions, Singapore maintains draconian anti-drug laws including executing citizens caught possessing now mundane amounts of innocuous botanicals like cannabis.
This regressive regime recently took the life of an allegedly non-violent 46-year old Singaporean man convicted of possessing just two pounds of cannabis he planned to distribute. Despite no demonstrated harm or history of prior offenses, he received the death penalty simply for the plant matter contraband charge.
Human rights groups universally decried the disproportionate sentence for a two pound cannabis case. But Singapore officials dismissed criticism of its lethal “zero tolerance” anti-drug stance. The nation stubbornly clings to War on Drugs militant tactics including forced rehabilitation camps and routine execution seemingly impervious to data showing counterproductivity.
The incident sharply contrasts liberalizing attitudes in nearby countries also easing enforcement. While Thailand approved decriminalization last year, Malaysia recently abolished mandatory death penalties for drug charges as global opinion shifts. This makes the continued programmed barbarity by Singapore appear increasingly archaic and backwards by any ethical measure.
By executing a man for two pounds of healing flower pods, the ostensibly modern regime reveals ideological vestiges of colonialism viewing agriculture with spiritual ritual usage as an existential threat warranting ultimate suppression. But such denial of cognitive sovereignty through violence universally backfires by breeding resentment and more dangerous clandestine markets.
One can only hope Singapore soon recognizes the self-sabotage of clinging to disproven militant models against naturally desired plants. But this tragic loss spotlighting unchecked power seeking total coercion cannot be unlived. Perhaps his senseless death nourishes the soil where enlightened drug policy may finally bloom one day in his homeland. For now – darkness.
Our next story eulogizes a differently impactful figure lost recently – the Israeli “Father of THC” Raphael Mechoulam…
Story 7: Death of a Cannabis legend – Dr. Ralph Mechoulam
Shifting from tragedy to tribute, our next item honors the recent passing of Raphael Mechoulam – the pioneering Israeli organic chemist who revolutionized cannabis science through isolating THC and CBD. His research radically transformed global understanding of the plant’s composition and pharmacological mechanisms. All contemporary cannabis medicine owes a debt to his lifetime dedication.
Born 1930 in Bulgaria, Mechoulam immigrated to Israel in 1949 beginning what would become a storied seven decade journey plumbing cannabis’ secrets through exacting lab work. After securing research cannabis from the national police agency in the 1960s, his team successfully identified the previously unknown molecular structure of THC alongside later characterizing CBD.
This profound chemical elucidation single-handedly established the initial pharmacological architecture underlying the cannabis experience. His discoveriespopularized recognizing various cannabinoids and their distinct effects. Every nuggets’s precise psychoactive and medicinal potency today gets credited to Mechoulam’s lifetime cannabis illumination.
Honoring his scientific contributions, Mechoulam received prestigious international accolades including an honorary doctorate from Complutense University in Madrid. The American Chemical Society named the organic cannabinoid pharmacophore after him.
Beyond isolated compounds, Mechoulam helped demonstrate the human body’s innate endocannabinoid system regulating metabolism through sites THC and CBD interact with. This further revolutionized understanding cannabis’ affinity supporting wellness. He authored over 400 published papers cementing his status as the undisputed patriarch of contemporary cannabis academics.
While passing at 92 years old, Mechoulam’s sense of exploration and dedication never waned even into his final years directing an Israeli national cannabinoid research center. His lifetime teachings and mentorship investment ensures successors carry forth trailblazing in this young field. That immortal impact remains Mechoulam’s lasting gift to science – legitimizing and codifying the once taboo frontier of cannabis medicine. Generations further owe their alleviated suffering from this humble giant of organic chemistry done right.
Story 9: Study found that most Parkinson’s Symptoms alleviated with Cannabis use
Shifting focus to uplifting medical advances, our next item profiles cannabis gaining recognition addressing Parkinson’s – a debilitating degenerative nervous system disease confounding solutions for sufferers. But fresh clinical data reveals cannabis components effectively treating common disease symptoms where other treatments fail.
Researchers conducted a retrospective study examining 69 Parkinson’s patients already utilizing state-legal medical cannabis to manage disease burdens. Investigating numerous metrics like symptoms changes, medication changes, side effects and more, a resounding majority – 87% – reported overall improvement from MC addition controlling issues like chronic pain, tremors, and insomnia.
Equally promising, over half the Parkinson’s users also lowered or discontinued conventional medications under medical guidance after adding cannabis – suggesting its comparative efficacy and safety. This aligns with substituted prescription declines in older populations using cannabis for issues like chronic pain management and insomnia.
The accumulating indications powerfully support legal access allowing clinicians responsibly incorporating cannabis alongside traditional modalities as appropriate for given individuals. While more controlled trials are still needed, real-world findings confirm people discover extensive benefit from its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and neuroprotective properties where pharmaceuticals disappoint.
So rather than restricting through outdated cultural stigma, this latest study suggests carefully expanding and personalizing cannabis’s therapeutic utilities may provide a missing treatment puzzle piece for misunderstood conditions like Parkinson’s. Its multifaceted neuromodulatory chemistry further illuminates possibility spaces for intractable neurodegenerative disease.
And that broader healing hope touches our final story in this cannabis journey depicting the changing cultural currents leading inevitably towards sane, compassionate policy honoring this ancient plant ally supporting eons of humankind’s health. But obsolete power constructs currently deny this destiny. Their facade now crumbles.
Story 10: Snoop Dogg Trolls the world
Our cannabis journey concludes with monumental marketing mischief from the master himself – Snoop Dogg. By tactically tweeting he was mysteriously “quitting smoke” after decades of signature cannabis advocacy, the rap icon tricked global media into reporting his retirement from weed…or so it seemed.
The cryptic tweet instantly made international headlines as outlets rushed obituaries mourning the loss of Snoop’s stoner persona. Twitter exploded in speculation – was it health issues? A religious awakening? Many fans wrote moving tributes eulogizing the career-spanning blunt buffoonery.
But just days later Snoop revealed the ruse in a commercial for a smokeless firepit – he meant tobacco smoke, not bud! The switcheroo wasted no time converting mass publicity into selling Solo Stove’s product. Snoop hadn’t abandoned weed at all – he’d effortlessly finessed free advertising through weaponizing public perception.
In the end, the stunt generated nearly 160 million views on a single tweet containing two sentences. Global engagement metrics rarely seen for any price. And it required no costly media buys – simply leveraging Snoop’s celebrity and grassroots trust for devastating impact.
The marketing masterclass amplified intrigue by cryptically offering just enough dramatic bait before the commercial punchline hit days later. He consciously left the tweet narrative open to grab attention without context before clarifying later.
In actuality, the ploy proved more social commentary on lingering reefer madness stigma than abandoning personal principles. As media rushed demonizing content, it revealed stubborn anti-cannabis biases persisting culturally. Snoop strung them all along easily through minimal smoke and mirrors.
By parodying public cannabis narratives, the saga spotlighted protest prohibitionists’ continued disproportionate influence politicizing plant wisdom without pragmatic perspective. Snoop hoisted detractors on their own faulty petard for profit and activism both. For in destigmatizing justice persists. The maestro wins again.
The Sticky Bottom Line
And there you have it, my selection for the Top Cannabis related articles/stories that had the most impact on society during 2023. There was so much that happened this year that I’m sure I missed a lot, but at the end of the day I believe that these stories held the most weight for the cannabis community.
You know, come to think about it, the woman who stabbed her boyfriend 118 times after the fatal bong rip might also have been worthy, but to be honest, I don’t like to promote that kind of thinking. If you don’t know about that story, it’s pretty messed up.
Anyhow, let me know if there was a news worthy article I missed.

How We Found the Best Delta 9 Gummies for You
Selecting the best Delta 9 gummies requires a detailed evaluation of their quality, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. We analyzed various factors to ensure each product meets safety and potency standards. Here’s what we focused on to find the top choices:
Ingredient Quality
We prioritized gummies made from natural and organic ingredients. We preferred brands using non-GMO and chemical-free components. For example, BudPop and Exhale Wellness use organic hemp and avoid artificial additives, ensuring a safe and enjoyable product.
These high-quality ingredients also reduce the risk of side effects, making them suitable for a broader audience. Additionally, natural ingredients contribute to better flavors without compromising the product’s efficacy.
Certifications
Certifications are essential as they confirm a brand’s compliance with industry standards. We looked for certifications such as USDA Organic and GMP, which show product quality and safety.
Products from reputable brands with these certifications are generally more reliable. Certifications also ensure that the products meet legal requirements and have undergone rigorous testing for safety and consistency.
Lab Testing
Comprehensive third-party testing was a must. Products with transparent lab reports showcasing their purity and potency ranked higher. Brands like those on our list excel in providing clean and reliable Delta 9 edibles.
Lab testing ensures products are free from pesticides, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals, safeguarding consumer health. Transparent lab results also allow consumers to verify the THC content for a risk-free purchase.
Effectiveness
Customer reviews and feedback helped us understand the effects of each gummy. We looked for products that deliver consistent results, whether for relaxation, better sleep, or stress relief. Reputed brands are known for their reliable and balanced effects.
Consistency in results is crucial for first-time users and regular consumers alike, making trusted brands stand out in the cannabis market.

The taste enhances the overall experience. We preferred gummies with natural, enjoyable flavors like watermelon, peach, and blue raspberry. Decent brands offer diverse flavor options that appeal to a wide audience.
Natural flavorings remove the bitterness of hemp and provide a pleasant treat for daily use.
Customer Satisfaction
Positive reviews from verified buyers were crucial. We assessed feedback on product effectiveness, shipping, and customer service. Brands like those on the list received high praise for their quality and user-friendly service.
Smooth delivery processes and responsive support teams also contribute to higher satisfaction ratings. High customer satisfaction levels often indicate a reliable and trustworthy brand.
How to Pick the Right Delta 9 Gummies?
With so many choices, finding the best Delta 9 gummies online can be overwhelming. A few simple factors can help you select a safe and effective product that fits your preferences. Here’s what to consider:
Find a Reputable Brand
Choose brands with a strong reputation and positive customer feedback. Trusted Delta 9 gummy brands like those featured are known for their consistent quality and clear product information.
A reliable brand ensures a safer experience. Look for customer reviews that highlight product effectiveness and overall satisfaction.
Check Third-Party Lab Data
Lab testing by third-party facilities guarantees purity and potency. The strongest Delta 9 edibles will have detailed reports showing THC content and confirming they are free of harmful substances.
Always review these reports to ensure transparency and safety. Independent lab testing adds credibility and ensures you’re getting a quality product.
Assess Hemp Source & Quality
The hemp source affects the gummy’s overall quality. Look for organic, non-GMO hemp products, preferably sourced from the USA. This ensures that Delta 9 THC gummies are free from pesticides and other harmful chemicals.
Organic hemp is also more likely to offer higher-quality cannabinoids and better overall effects.
Select the Right Potency for You
Delta 9 gummies have varying strengths, from 5mg to 25mg per piece. Beginners should start with lower doses, while experienced users can opt for stronger Delta 9 THC edibles.
Choosing the correct potency helps achieve the desired effects without unwanted side effects. Start low and increase gradually for the best experience.
Other Considerations
Flavors and prices also matter. Many brands offer enjoyable options like watermelon or peach for a better experience. Compare prices to find affordable yet high-quality gummies. Reading customer reviews can provide additional insights into flavor, effects, and overall satisfaction.
Optimal Dosage of Delta 9 Gummies
Finding the right dosage of Delta 9 gummies is essential to ensure a pleasant and effective experience. Since Delta 9 THC has strong psychoactive effects, knowing how much to consume can help you avoid discomfort. Here’s a guide to help you determine the optimal dosage for your needs:
Start Low and Go Slow
If you’re new to Delta 9 THC or edibles, it’s important to begin with a small dose. Start with 5 to 10 mg of Delta 9 THC. Edibles take longer to kick in, usually between 30 minutes to 2 hours, so be patient. This allows your body to adjust without feeling overwhelmed.
Understand Your Tolerance
Your tolerance to THC will play a role in how much you need. If you’re a beginner, start with a low dose. Experienced users may need a higher dose to feel the effects. Regular users might find that 10 to 15 mg works best, while those with a high tolerance might need 20 mg or more.
Gradually Increase as Needed
Once you’ve tried a small dose, you can gradually increase it if needed. If 5 mg felt too mild, try 7.5 or 10 mg next time. Always give your body enough time to adjust to avoid taking too much at once.
Pay Attention to Labeling
Always check the label for THC content per gummy. Reliable brands like Exhale and Budpop provide clear and accurate labeling to ensure you know exactly what you consume. This helps you make informed decisions about your dosage.
Consider Your Goals
Your reason for using Delta 9 gummies can affect your dosage. Lower doses (2.5-5 mg) may be enough for anxiety or mood enhancement, while higher doses (10-25 mg) may be required for pain relief or sleep. Knowing your goals will guide your dosage choice.

Delta 9 is available in various forms, offering different experiences and benefits. If you’re looking for something beyond gummies, here are some other popular Delta 9 THC products to consider. Each offers unique effects, making choosing based on your preferences easier.
Delta 9 Chocolate
Delta 9-infused chocolate is a great alternative to gummies for those who enjoy edibles with a smooth texture. Available in milk, dark, and white varieties, chocolate bars often contain several doses in each square.
This makes it easy to control your intake. However, remember that chocolate needs to be stored properly to avoid melting.
Delta 9 Drinks
Delta 9 drinks provide a refreshing way to enjoy THC, with options like sodas, teas, and even coffee. The effects typically take 30 minutes to an hour to set in.
They’re discreet and convenient, perfect for social gatherings where gummies or smoking might not be ideal. These drinks come in various flavors and can be a fun, relaxing way to unwind after a long day.
Delta 9 Capsules
Capsules offer a no-fuss way to consume Delta 9. Each capsule contains a pre-measured dose, making it easy to manage your intake.
They are ideal for those who prefer not to smoke, vape, or chew edibles. While they offer convenience, it’s important to note that you can’t adjust the dosage once you take a capsule.
Delta 9 Vapes
Delta 9 vapes are a popular choice for those who prefer inhalation. The effects are felt almost immediately because THC is absorbed quickly through the lungs.
Vape pens are portable and come in both disposable and reusable options. Disposable pens are great for beginners, while reusable ones are more economical over time.

The Latest in DEA Shenanigans? The Federal Agency Punts Marijuana Hearings into 2025
Published

For the past few months, cannabis advocates have been perched on the edges of their seats like cats watching a laser pointer, following every twist and turn of the great rescheduling saga. Ever since President Biden sparked this joint of hope, suggesting that cannabis could be moved from Schedule I to Schedule III, we’ve been waiting to see if the DEA would finally admit what we’ve known all along – that cannabis isn’t as dangerous as heroin.
But just as we thought we might get some clarity before the 2024 election circus kicks into high gear, the DEA pulled what I like to call a “classic prohibitionist move.” A judge recently announced that the hearings won’t happen until 2025, leaving advocates frustrated and industry players wondering if this is just another delay tactic in the long game of “hurry up and wait” that we’ve become all too familiar with.
Now, I’ve been covering cannabis policy long enough to smell political theater when I see it, and this latest development has got my skepticism sensors tingling. While some view rescheduling as a step forward, others (myself included) have questioned whether Schedule III is just Big Pharma’s backup plan – a way to maintain control while appearing progressive.
In this article, we’re going to dive deep into why the DEA is dragging its feet, what this delay really means for the cannabis industry, and why true reform might need to come from the halls of Congress rather than the offices of federal agencies. Buckle up, folks – we’re about to get real about the future of cannabis reform in America.
Just when we thought the DEA might finally be ready to have an adult conversation about cannabis, they’ve pulled another classic move from the prohibitionist playbook. Administrative Law Judge Teresa Wallbaum recently announced that the hearing on cannabis rescheduling will be pushed to January 2025, citing the need for “additional time to prepare for this complex proceeding.”
Let’s be real here – this delay isn’t about preparation. It’s about waiting to see who they’ll be working with after the election. And given Trump’s recent victory, coupled with his surprisingly progressive stance on cannabis reform, the landscape is about to get interesting. Unlike the Biden administration’s tepid approach to reform, Trump has voiced support for both rescheduling and broader cannabis reforms. However, he’s also a wild card and could do absolutely nothing. It’s still too early to tell.
But here’s where I’m going to ruffle some feathers – this whole rescheduling circus might just be political theater. Think about it: the Biden administration had four years to implement meaningful cannabis reform. What did we get? A lot of promises, some nice-sounding rhetoric about rescheduling, and precisely zero actual changes. It’s the kind of empty promises we’ve come to expect from career politicians trying to maintain their grip on power while appearing “progressive.”
The American people aren’t stupid. They saw through this charade, which partly explains why they voted for Trump. Say what you will about the man, he is a big disruptor and there are more moderate voices on his team this time around. We’ll have to see who else he picks and hope that some lobbyist doesn’t sneak in there – they probably will – but we’ll have to see.
According to court documents, the delay is necessary because “the parties need additional time to identify and prepare expert witnesses, and to review the extensive documentary evidence that will be presented at the hearing.” But let’s call this what it is – bureaucratic tap dancing. The DEA is waiting to see which way the political winds blow before making any significant moves.
Here’s where I might surprise you – this delay might actually be a blessing in disguise for cannabis advocates. Why? Because Schedule III was never the answer we were looking for anyway. As I’ve written before, rescheduling to Schedule III is essentially Big Pharma’s backup plan, a way to maintain control over cannabis while appearing to support reform.
My gut tells me – and my gut’s been right more often than not in this industry – that real cannabis reform isn’t going to come through rescheduling. It’s going to come through Congress, and potentially with support from the incoming administration. The people have spoken loudly: they want real reform, not more empty promises and half-measures.
The writing’s on the wall, folks. The old guard’s strategy of dangling the rescheduling carrot while maintaining the status quo isn’t working anymore. Whether through Trump’s promised reforms or congressional action, change is coming. And maybe, just maybe, this DEA delay is the death rattle of the rescheduling red herring we never needed in the first place.
You know, I used to be that guy. The one who’d confidently declare, “Within five years, cannabis will be legal nationwide!” I’d break down the trends, cite the polling data, and explain why legalization was inevitable. And you know what? I kept being wrong. Not about the direction – cannabis reform has steadily marched forward – but about the timeline and the path it would take.
Looking back, I nailed quite a few predictions. I saw the CBD boom coming, correctly anticipated the rise of Delta-8 THC in prohibition states, and forecasted the eventual corporate takeover of many pioneer cannabis markets. But these days? Making predictions about cannabis reform feels about as reliable as using a Magic 8-Ball to plan your retirement.
The political landscape has become more unpredictable than a first-timer’s reaction to a high-THC edible. We’ve got Trump back in office – a man who, despite his previous opposition to cannabis, has recently shown support for reform. Could he shock us all and push through a simple, straightforward legalization plan just to stick it to the establishment? It’s entirely possible. Could he also do absolutely nothing and let the status quo reign? Equally possible.
And that’s just one variable in an increasingly complex equation. We’ve got Big Pharma pulling strings behind the scenes, state markets evolving at different rates, and banking reform perpetually stuck in congressional limbo. Not to mention the international scene, where some countries are embracing legalization while others double down on prohibition.
Here’s what I do know: Schedule III, even if it happens, isn’t the endgame. It’s like trying to fix a broken leg with a Band-Aid – it might look like you’re doing something, but it doesn’t address the underlying problem. The moment it passes (if it passes), it’ll be tied up in legal challenges faster than you can say “interstate commerce.” Why? Because without congressional action, we’re still stuck in this weird legal twilight zone where state and federal laws contradict each other.
So I’ve stopped making predictions about when or how cannabis reform will happen. Instead, I focus on analyzing the facts in front of us and calling out the bullshit when I see it. Because at the end of the day, that’s more valuable than crystal ball gazing.
The only thing I’m certain about is that change is coming. Whether it’s through congressional action, executive orders, or some yet-unknown path, cannabis prohibition will end. I just won’t tell you when anymore. I’ve learned my lesson about making promises I can’t keep – unlike some politicians I could name.

California Appeals Court Rejects Marijuana Grow Permit, Citing Federal Illegality
Published

In a landmark decision that highlights the tension between state and federal cannabis laws, a California appellate court ruled on October 29th that property owners can refuse to allow the transportation of cannabis across their land via easements, even when the cannabis operation is approved by local authorities.
The Second District Court of Appeal’s unanimous decision draws attention to private property rights in a context where cannabis remains federally illegal, but state law allows licensed cultivation, distribution and sale. Presiding Justice Albert Gilbert stated, “No matter how much California voters and the Legislature might try, cannabis cultivation and transportation are illegal in California as long as it remains illegal under federal law.” JCCrandall LLC v. County of Santa Barbara, Case No. B333201, 2024 WL 4599304, Oct. 29, 2024.
Unless the California Supreme Court grants review – which I would not rule out – the decision empowers private property owners to refuse to contract with cannabis businesses, and restricts local government from approving cannabis operations that implicate the property rights of neighbors who object.
The case at hand
The dispute centered around a cannabis cultivation operation in Santa Barbara County, where JCCrandall LLC challenged a conditional use permit granted by the County to its neighbor, Santa Rita Holdings Inc. The critical issue was that Santa Rita Holdings could only access its 2.5-acre cannabis farm via an unpaved road crossing JCCrandall’s property through a pre-existing easement. JCCrandall grows oats and barley.
JCCrandall’s primary concern? It raised a number of complaints with the Santa Barbara County Supervisors about truck traffic and night operations, which did not gain traction, but in the Court of Appeal JCCrandall focused on what it claimed was potential liability associated with having federally illegal substances transported across its property, even though County regulators found that the Santa Rita operation was fully compliant with state and local laws.
Key legal findings
The appellate court’s decision hinged on several crucial points:
- Property Rights: The court emphasized that “the right to exclude others is the essence of the right of property ownership” and classified it as a fundamental vested right.
- Federal Supremacy: The panel determined that allowing cannabis transportation across private property “defies the Supremacy Clause” of the U.S. Constitution.
- State vs. Federal Law: While cannabis might be legal under California law, the court ruled that federal law’s prohibition takes precedence in this context.
California cannabis industry implications
Legal experts suggest this ruling could have far-reaching consequences for California’s cannabis industry. Section 1550.5(b) of the California Civil Code makes contracts within California involving cannabis lawful and enforceable, and Santa Rita Holdings bet the ranch on that argument. But the Court of Appeal held that the statute could not compel a landowner to allow cannabis to travel across its property on a pre-existing easement. Licensed operators may find it harder to do business because neighbors who have property rights affected by a cannabis business can object, and, under the JCCrandall ruling, local government must yield to those objections.
An example might be a cannabis dispensary that depends on access to its parking lot via an easement or is located in a shopping center where other lessees have rights to object to tenants notwithstanding the approval of the landlord. In cultivation, many cannabis farms depend on vehicular access through easements because they are remote and do not always have direct access to public thoroughfares, or they depend on water sourced from other properties pursuant to agreements made by prior owners who grew traditional crops. These neighbors might not need to show any negative impact on their property, but can argue that they could be found complicit in federally illegal activities.
I think the most problematic language in the JCCrandall ruling is the following, which might draw the attention of the California Supreme Court and cause it to grant review: “For as long as an easement is enjoyed, its mode and manner of use shall remain substantially the same as it was at the time the easement was created. The County argues the easement was used for agricultural purposes. But there is a vast difference between legal and illegal agricultural purposes.” (Emphasis added.) If California has determined that cannabis cultivation is legal – as it has – and state courts routinely enforce contracts involving cannabis, it is a pretty bold step to declare the use of a lawful pre-existing easement illegal simply because the agricultural crop is cannabis and take away easement access from Santa Rita.
Looking ahead
This decision creates new challenges for cannabis businesses in California, and will result in more disputes among neighbors. While the Biden administration has shown signs of easing federal marijuana restrictions, this ruling demonstrates that the federal-state law conflict continues to create significant legal hurdles for the cannabis industry.
California court decisions also can be persuasive authority in other states, so we might see similar litigation (and decisions) elsewhere in the country where cannabis has been legalized.
The case serves as a reminder that despite California’s progressive stance on cannabis, federal prohibition continues to cast a long shadow over the industry’s operations and development. As the cannabis landscape continues to evolve, this ruling may prompt businesses to reassess their property arrangements and local governments will certainly have to reconsider their permitting processes to give more careful consideration to objections by neighbors who claim that their property rights are implicated by cannabis operations.
