Bipartisan Majority Of American Voters Support Marijuana Legalization, New Poll Finds After Trump Orders Rescheduling
A two-fold majority of American voters across nearly every major demographic — age, race, gender and political affiliation — support legalizing marijuana, according to a new poll released just days ago. President Donald Trump issued an executive order to agencies to further reform cannabis rescheduling..
The poll, conducted by JL Partners and commissioned by The Daily Mail, showed that 53 percent of registered US voters support legalization. This includes 62% of Democrats and 51% of Republicans.
The poll simply asked, “Would you be for or against the legalization of marijuana?”
While there was majority support among all age demographics, 30-49 year olds had 61 percent support. But even 50 percent of the over-65s, historically the most conservative age group, favor policy change.
58% of men are in favor of legalization, and 50% of women are in favor of reform.
The survey Between December 20 and 21, there were interviews with 1,000 registered voters. This means that Trump has asked the attorney general to declare marijuana under Title III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
The move would not have federally legalized cannabis, and administration officials stressed at the signing ceremony of the reorganization order that legalization was not their intention.
However, what the reorganization would do is symbolically recognize marijuana’s medical value, allow cannabis companies to take federal tax deductions, and loosen some research barriers related to Schedule I drugs.
A recent Daily Mail poll comes with growing bipartisanship over legalizing marijuana in general, but Another recent YouGov poll found Republicans evenly split on the issue41% in favor and 41% against the wider reform.
However, a bipartisan majority of Americans said in that poll that they support federally rescheduling marijuana.
Additionally, a majority (76%) of respondents to the YouGov survey also said marijuana either “definitely” (43%) or “probably” (33%) has “legitimate medical uses.” There was also a bilateral agreement on that question. Most Democrats said cannabis has medical value (84%), followed by independents (74%) and Republicans (73%).

The reorganization process started by the Biden administration, which Trump has now called for an end, is still pending. Congressional researchers also recently released a report indicating that there is a possibility The Justice Department may choose to restart the process, or even not complete it. But according to previous polls, reform across the corridor is politically popular.
The president said this month that cannabis can “make people feel a lot better.” It serves as a “substitute for addictive and potentially deadly opioid painkillers.” He clarified, however, that he personally has no interest in using marijuana himself.
So does Trump He dismissed the concerns of GOP lawmakers who oppose the reconsiderationstating that an overwhelming majority of Americans support reform and that cannabis can help people with serious health problems—including his personal friends.

A steel roof transforms the silo into a solid building instead of a container with a cover on it
The future of steel roofs in water silos
The demand for steel roofs on water silos in the Netherlands is increasing rapidly. According to Bas van der Elst of silo producer Hendic, this development reflects a structural change in the market rather than a temporary trend.
“Growers are increasingly choosing the safety of steel over traditional covers,” he says. “This is largely driven by safety concerns, but also by more stringent requirements from insurers and authorities.”
Van der Elst explains that structural reliability is a key factor behind the growing interest. “It’s about the reliability of the construction. A steel roof can withstand significant snow and wind loads, much more than a traditional roof. However, certification is often the deciding factor. At Hendic, we include the steel roof in the structural calculations and the CE certification of the entire silo. This is essential compared to PVC roofs.”

Why has CE certification become so important?
The importance of CE certification has increased, especially in export markets. “In Germany and other countries, many municipalities will not issue a permit without a structural calculation that complies with local regulations,” explains Van der Elst. “Insurers are also increasingly requiring the silo to be assessed and insured as a single unit. The steel roof effectively turns the silo into a solid building, rather than a basin with a sheet on top. This provides producers with legal certainty and operational peace of mind.”
Is safety a factor in addition to construction?
In addition to structural resistance, local security plays an important role. “With a steel cover, a silo is completely enclosed. We equip them with a lockable access gate, so the silo can literally be locked. Compared to a tented cover, it’s a significant improvement in yard security.”

Does this mean the end of the popular PVC covers?
According to Van der Elst, steel roofs do not mean the end of PVC-based systems. “The various systems we offer, from simple tension roofs to floating roofs and domes, have proven their worth and remain highly functional in most situations. However, for producers dealing with strict building regulations or extreme weather conditions, steel roofs offer the greatest added value today.”

Florida Lawmakers Pass Bill To Provide Discounted Medical Marijuana Cards For Military Veterans
The Florida House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a bill to reduce the fee for military veterans to obtain medical marijuana registry identification cards.
The measure passed by Reps. Susan Valdés (R) and Michelle Salzman (R) unanimously on Wednesday in a 113-0 vote. The proposal comes after clearing three House panels and separate Senate legislation to reduce the cost of cannabis for veterans is also moving forward.
If enacted into law, HB 887 would require honorably discharged veterans to pay $15 to obtain a medical cannabis card, down from the current $75 rate for most eligible patients.
The $15 charge will also apply to replacement cards as well as annual renewals.
To receive the reduced fee, veterans must provide the state Department of Health (DOH) with a copy of the discharge form, a US Veterans Affairs (VA) identification card, or a Florida driver’s license with a “veteran designation.”
The law will come into effect on July 1 of this year.
“Medical cannabis has shown promise in relieving symptoms commonly experienced by military veterans, such as managing chronic pain, mitigating the effects of PTSD, improving sleep and reducing opioid addiction,” Valdés said on the House floor. “This bill greatly reduces veterans’ financial barriers to accessing medical marijuana, their health solution of choice.”
“Reducing the cost of access is not only a symbolic gesture to the veterans who serve us, it directly removes the often very high cost barrier that prevents already underserved veterans from participating in this program, and this is one way to show our veterans how grateful we are by turning that slate green,” he said. he saidas before notify By Florida Politics.
According to A invoice study, the reform “would have an unspecified negative fiscal impact on the DOH.” While there are currently 931,000 registered medical marijuana patients in Florida, “the number of veterans with an active medical marijuana use registry identification card is unknown” and thus “the amount of revenue reduction is unknown.”
That said, the analysis says the policy change “would have a positive fiscal impact on veterans who will see a $60 reduction in the cost of ID cards under the bill.”
Earlier this month, the Senate Health Policy Committee advanced a bill by Sen. Alexis Calatayud that would reduce medical cannabis registration fees for veterans to $15 and implement other reforms to expand access to medical marijuana.
Under that amended proposal, a physician would recommend a 70-day supply limit for cannabis, or a 35-day supply limit for marijuana smoking products for 10 supply limits. Under current law, they can recommend up to three 70-day supply limits for non-smoking cannabis and six 35-day supply limits for smoking marijuana.
The SB 1032 bill would also require doctors to evaluate patients to qualify for medical marijuana every 52 weeks, rather than the legal requirement of evaluations every 30 weeks.
Here’s an overview of some of the pending Florida marijuana bills:

New York State’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has recalled several cannabis products after finding that reported results from a testing laboratory were “unreliable.”
OCM says it has found a total of 54 product lots that tested false positive for Aspergillus, the mold that causes disease. According to OCM, another batch of product had incorrect results for the heavy metal cadmium.
“When test results are inaccurate or unclear, product safety and, in turn, the safety of New York State consumers cannot be guaranteed,” said OCM Executive Deputy Director of Licensing, Enforcement and Laboratories Stephen Geskey. “It’s not a risk OCM is willing to take.”
This information comes from an audit of inspections and records conducted by Keystone State Testing New York between December 2025 and January 2026. According to OCM, there have been no reports of the effects of consuming any of the products.
