The Fight For Cannabis Reform Must Focus On Medical Patients—Not Taxes And Banking—In Order To Win (Op-Ed)

“Without medicine at the center, the Federal reform loses its moral compass and its political lever.”

Cannabis Businesses and Professionals Unity for the National Medical Kannabis

It is clear that the opposition against cannabis is nourished by the narrative of moral panic, disinformation and “large marijuana”. Without strategic contracting for well-being, we risk losing the land we have earned.

Last week, the HOUSE’s paving committee exceeded the version of the Budget of the Department of Justice. FY2026 Trade, Justice, Science and Related Agency (CJS) would include provisions that will allow the administration of drug enforcement administration (DEA) again in the states of cannabis programs.

CJS Budget Bill was the language that would also want Prevent President Donald Trump to make efforts for determination in cannabis programming. This should turn off alarms in our community. And yet the loudest push came from business, but from patients, with our uncompromise, farms, allies.

Our most valuable asset

The coverage coverage coverage for Kannabis was a promise to produce “determination” for a few weeks. But there was a real bearer What he said about Kannabis: “great thing about medicine” listens.

These words catch true in Washington, DC: Cannabis doctor remains the most politically feasible policy for federal policy reform. If you currently face cannabis businesses and professionals, we cannot ignore the truth.

Bank and tax relief will not come with a great reform of cannabis

Despite the flood of new State laws, new businesses and new participants, Washington barely made.

It has been more than a decade to secure access to Secure access (ASA) to ensure the fire interference in the Medical State of Congress. Bank reform, tax fairness and state trade are still not available. Patients remain access to stigma, discrimination and patches.

Corporate Kornabis seemed to be supported by the medical expansion and cannabis business, who walks far from the patient’s narrative. It was the descendant of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Cannabis “admits that he currently supports” medical use “and will lead to the III program.

Instead of taking a return of victory for medical cannabis, the cannabis community was based on tax deductions.

This pivot has been able to provide short-term growth and attention, but he actually canceled the proven path that has moved Congress: patients. The result is a decade of Washington.

Without a medical cannabis in the center, the Federal reform loses its moral compass and a political lever.

Including the “big things” about medical cannabis

Medical cannabis is the strongest counterpoint. It saves lives, reduces health costs and undergo public support during the political spectrum.

Consider the numbers:

  • Chronic pain: Almost 30% of chronic pain patients use cannon to relieve, often reduce or replace opioids. More than 68 million Americans live with chronic pain.
  • Cancer: More than 40% of cancer reports the symptoms such as pain, anxiety, sleep and hunger.
  • Older adults: One of the five adults now uses cannabis now. In the medical states, many advantages made by many arthritis, sleep and quality of life. It is the fastest increase in Kannabis users.
  • Veterans: About 22 percent of veterans use PTSD, chronic pain and sleeping incidents, still facing stigma and federal obstacles.
  • Opioids: Washington Post recently mentioned the study County with dispensers will be seen reducing 30 percent of the dead Opioido overdose over time.

If you entered the Kannabis space in the last five years or 10 years, you may not know how we arrived.

Patient advocates have been working on strategies for decades for the National Medical Canavy Program.

For years, the cannabis supply chain programs, cannabis supply chain products, the World Cannabis Organization (UN) and the United Nations, and the United Nations, recommends patients for medical professionals.

White House This year decreased these protections, Asa called the organizations of national patients and encouraged Congress to restore them. And HHS can Cannabis “use medical use” at this time? Reflects more than two decades established by patient defenders.

Not to choose zero sum

Helping Medical Kannabis does not mean against adult use. In fact, focusing the doctor strengthens the whole market.

Patients bring credibility with politicians, their stories create support for bipartisan and their experiences cannot be divided into quarter sales figures.

President Trumpen comments – “Great things about doctors” – they are not just a note. In the policy of Kannabis, they reflect coherent thread in administrations, festivals and decades: the medical cannabis has had power.

If we become “great things”, we can change the conversation, go back and finally, we will finally get comprehensive federal realms of patients.

Patients have a plan; They need our help

As a creative founder of safe access, Steph Sherer described the last marijuana at the moment. “It’s time for the congress to create a federal path for medical cannabis accesses” The next phase of access is a comprehensive federal legislation. History has shown us that the doctor must first come.

Patients created a moral and political basis for cannabis reform. Today they remain the strongest motor. But only patients cannot carry this fight. If we want to move Washington, we need to put patients and their needs behind our efforts.

Cannabis businesses and professionals united for the national medical cannabis It is safe access to access security (ASA) interested business, professionals and investors who believe in cannabis medicine and are willing to end the patients.

The Supreme Court of Texas has declined to appeal on the issue on a lawsuit about the state.

About five months after the statement of the fifteenth-state appeal He rejected a lower judge who refused temporary order To prevent law enforcement, the case was the case for the State Supreme Court on Friday.

“The Supreme Court of Texas did not listen to the hand of the hand, and 82 percent of the San Marcos voters do not care,” Catina Voellinger was behind the Earth’s Executive Director of Texas and other reforms.

“This is not only about marijuana. Whether it should be work to make our decisions, as the Constitution of Texas said, Voellinger said.

The judgment of the lower court, and marks the delays of the following Supreme Court-prison delays to vote for activists that have promoted loads. Many of them competed with the main Texas lawyers Ken Paxton (R).

“Texas has the most employee of the country, most of them to win 15 hours or less. Politicians like Millionaire politicians twisted Politicians like Ken Paxton to protect themselves and his rich donors,” said Voellinger. “We think we see what’s going on, but we know how difficult they did to survive here. We try to spend all the time because they know the truth: power is happening to us. And we are building a movement that cannot be stopped.”

Eric Martinez, Mano Amiga’s executive director of Mano Amiga collaborated with the Earth Game. celurbill The decisions of the High Court “worked for a better job of local democracy and San Marcos, brown, white, immigrant and poor work.”

“The Supreme Court of Texas had to stand for the will of the voters and our communities were unintentionally. We will let us not take away all of us. This combat will be stronger than the move here.”

According to the court’s court, the Judiciary decided that he denied a constitutional right to the city’s government “, the State statutes” prohibits the non-existence of the Local Government to enforce the laws of the drug “.

“Texas laws provide local governments and law enforcement authorities, such as the authority to enforce the drug laws. The 370,003 section provides a policy that takes the city of San Mark to the table,” he said.

“It was not necessary to avoid the order to remove unless legislature for legislature to prevent the legislature,” the court has continued. “The ordinary reading of the ordinance presents the perfect inconsistency 370,003. Section.”

Ordinances Police could not be given a reference to Maryhuana marijuana for A and B, with limited exceptions, such as connecting to a research case in a national research violation in a narcotic case.

The measurement also said that police could not give a references to waste or paraphernal instead of a property charge. And they could not use the only smell of cannabis as a cause for search or seizure.

Despite the state resistance and the latest developments in St. Mark, the defenders have seen several courts in the face of the law.

For example, in February, the Texas judge has decided that last year can be implemented by cannabis disengage law approved by Dallas votersDenying the demand for the State Lawyers He wanted to temporarily block the reform as a lawsuit.

This does not mean that Paxton’s dispute is completely dead. But, at least for now, the referee determined that the minimum policy may follow the case as it expands the issue.

The Dallas Police Department ordered the agents Leave to arrest or mention people to get Marijuana four ouncesvoter by approved voting initiative.

“Local communities, such as people, cities and county, have no authority to overwrite the state law” Governor said in the last May “If they want to see another law, they have to work with their legislators. Let’s work the law, as a state that will pass a part of the law.”

He said he would bring “chaos” and to create a “impossible system”, to “select and choose the laws for the individual cities,” to meet the state.

ABBOTT Before he said he Doesn’t believe people must be in the prison of marijuana ownership-The most often suggested that Texas had already gave a policy of dismissal to that end.
