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.”

St. Marcos was a November 2022 in November elections, the voters accepted similar decline initiatives after the earth game and Mano Amiga defend after the action.

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.

The Government has been opposed to the efforts of the Greg Abbott (R) Municipal Canadian reform.

“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.

In 2023, the Earth Games report released Marijuana examined the effects of reform law. The measure found hundreds of people out of prison, as they have been aimed at the enforcement of the law in several cities. Initiatives have also promoted the search for voters, reporting the report.

As The measure of the decline in cannabis went before the voters of San Antonio It was a complete defeated that year, but this proposal does not have the unrelated provisions to avoid enforcing abortion restrictions.

Meanwhile, in Texas, a debating discussion in the legislature has occurred in the legislature of Texas Hemp Policy, some Thc to obtain a ban on cannabis products. But these efforts have fallen short in conventional and special sessions this year.

Governor, in response, signed an executive command last week Institute’s age and labeling conditions for hemp products.

New rules raise cannabis stock limits for Malta’s associations

February 27, 2026

By











Malta’s cannabis associations will be able to hold larger stocks of cannabis under new rules introduced last week. While associations were previously only allowed to keep 500g of cannabis, a new legal notice sets different limits depending on the number of members registered with each.

Malta’s largest cannabis associations, with over 350 members, will now be able to sell 3.5kg of cannabis. Between 250 and 350 members will be allowed to possess 2.45 kg of cannabis, and associations registering between 110 and 250 members will be allowed to possess up to 1.75 kg.

Smaller ones will have stricter limits. Associations with less than 100 members will only have 700 g, while those with less than 50 members will have 350 g. Meanwhile, associations are allowed to store the equivalent of an eight-month supply in their cultivation area, calculated at 50g per member.

The new rules do not change how much cannabis a person can carry or consume. Under Malta’s cannabis laws, first introduced at the end of 2021, people can carry up to 7g of cannabis without fear of prosecution. Anyone caught with between 7g and 28g of cannabis will appear in court rather than face charges in a criminal court.

Trump Administration ‘Very Anxious’ To Allow Psychedelic Therapy ‘As Quickly As Possible,’ RFK Tells Joe Rogan

Published

February 27, 2026

By

The Trump administration is “very eager” to create a pathway for access to psychedelic therapy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. According to the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and senior officials of federal agencies want to “communicate to the public as soon as possible.”

In an interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast released Friday, Kennedy said he’s confident “we’re going to get it,” with plans to develop and finalize rules that would allow patients with conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression to access psychedelic substances like psilocybin and MDMA in a “very controlled environment.”

The secretary has been noted for his advocacy of psychedelic reform, an idea he floated as a 2024 Democratic presidential candidate before ultimately becoming the nation’s top health official under the Trump administration.

The president himself has been silent on the issue, but as Kennedy points out, support for expanding access to research and new therapeutics extends beyond HHS, with the heads of the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) also looking to take advantage of the potential benefits of psychedelic drugs.




“Everybody in my agency, and in (Secretary Doug Collins’) agency at the VA, is very eager to get a rule that will allow these types of studies and allow them to go into therapeutic settings, particularly for military personnel who have suffered these injuries to have access to these products,” Kennedy said. “We are working on that process now. We are all working and trying to make it happen.”

“I think we’ll make it.”

While some of the reform proposals being considered would be designed to “encourage more clinical trials” while having “very strong guidelines,” the health secretary said the agencies are interested in the full range of options that could include psychedelic therapies and other “rapid interventions.” One of Kennedy’s personal goals would be to validate the utility of substances like psilocybin over SSRIs for depression.

“We’re looking at that as a whole category of interventions that people should be able to look at and have appropriate access to, and we should roll it out as quickly as possible,” he said.

“This is what we’re anticipating, so I can’t tell you exactly what we’re going to do, but very, very strong therapeutic guidelines, so how they’re applied, what kind of follow-up. Because a lot of these things rewire the brain. If you don’t follow-up, it doesn’t work, or you have a failure rate. So we’re developing all of those things and I think we’re developing protocols. People in the administration are eager to do that as soon as possible. I know Doug Collins is doing 21 studies at the VA that they are doing, that they are very promising.

“You need those guidelines because you don’t want to do the Wild West. You can have horror stories overnight because some people can have very, very bad experiences,” Kennedy said. “We’re looking at ways to do it so it’s in a very controlled environment.”

Asked to expand on how Rogan sees the future of psychedelic therapies and whether it will include people in the military or other non-frontline roles, the secretary said he would “personally” like to see broad access, but “we have to take baby steps because you don’t want to create a situation where people want to get hurt.”

However, “you shouldn’t have a soldier who has given everything for the country, who has suffered terribly, who has come to Tijuana to receive these treatments, leave our country to receive treatments,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense.”

“I’ve seen so much overwhelming anecdotal evidence,” Kennedy said, emphasizing that one of his relatives has benefited from psychedelic therapy“but also clinical studies that verify the effect.” And officials at agencies like the NIH and FDA are “doing everything they can to make that happen.”

Rogan’s podcast interview comes a month after the release of a book by a reporter who allegedly had a romantic relationship with Kennedy, in which, as a presidential candidate, Kennedy still used psychedelics like DMT for “fun” and hid his drug use from his wife.

Meanwhile, in November, Kennedy, Vice President JD Vance, FDA Commissioner and other Trump administration officials attended the “Make America Healthy Again” summit. it was a session dedicated to studying psychedelic medicine.

In June, Kennedy said that his agency “Fully committed” to expanding research into the benefits of psychedelic therapy. and, along with the head of the FDA, aims to give military veterans legal access to these substances “within 12 months.”

The secretary also said that in April He had a “wonderful experience” with LSD at the age of 15He took it because he thought they would be able to see dinosaurs, as depicted in a comic he was a fan of.

Last October, Kennedy specifically criticized the FDA under the previous administration for the agency’s “eradication of psychedelics” and a laundry list of other issues that he said was a “war on public health” that would end under the Trump administration.

Data collection as an operational tool in commercial cannabis cultivation

Published

February 26, 2026

At the latest edition of Indoor Ag-Con, Jeremy Shechter focused his presentation on how data collection should work as an operational tool in commercial cannabis cultivation.

Jeremy, founder of Open Source Horticulture, opened by challenging a common assumption within the cultivation community. “We’re not as good as we think we are,” he said, pointing to the gap between perceived performance and what can actually be demonstrated. Without data, he argued, operators tend to rely on preconceptions rather than evidence.

Genetics, Jeremy explains, cannot be evaluated in isolation. “Genetics don’t just happen in a vacuum,” he said. In other words, data collection becomes the only reliable way to understand how genetics behaves in different rooms, facilities and operating conditions.

Profit figures alone, he adds, rarely tell the whole story. Teams may be able to articulate a number, but struggle to explain how that result was achieved. “Show me the dashboard,” Jeremy said, describing situations where performance claims fall apart because historical data is not available or cannot be accessed. In those cases, memory fills the void, even though, as he said, “our memory is very bad.”

The importance of setting goals
Jeremy envisioned data as a mechanism that allows teams to move toward defined goals. “One of the most important drivers for people is moving toward a goal,” he said, and progress is only seen when it’s measured consistently. Without solid data, goals remain abstract.

A recurring point in the presentation was the need for moderation. To illustrate this, he quoted Leonardo Da Vinci: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” Jeremy said, describing the tendency to overcomplicate data systems. He argued that not all data is worth collecting, and that excessive measurement often creates noise rather than insight.

Deciding what data matters, Jeremy insists, should not be left to chance. “Data is not created equal,” he said, “teams can easily spend time collecting information that doesn’t impact results. KPI selection should be driven by leadership and tied directly to business performance, then clearly communicated to crop managers.”

Entrepreneurship then becomes the key. “If a data point doesn’t inform a decision, it shouldn’t be treated with the same rigor.” Jeremy used room pressure as an example, explaining that while deviations from a set point can indicate a problem, they don’t necessarily correspond to long-term performance tracking. In other words, trends are more important than isolated readings.

Data collection systems
Jeremy also discussed the structure of effective data collection systems. “It has to be top to bottom,” he said, describing the need to follow every step of the process from cultivation to packaging. “Those systems have to be custom built for each facility.” He again emphasized the importance of keeping it simple and easy. “If you want to keep doing something, keep calm,” Jeremy said. Adding steps to any process increases friction and reduces compliance, whether in cultivation or data entry.

Paper-based workflows were highlighted as a persistent problem. Jeremy described the operations involved in entering data and then transferring it to a computer, a process he noted is inefficient and error-prone. Fully digitized systems, using tablets or mobile devices, were presented as a basic requirement for reliable data access.

Towards the end of the session, Jeremy touched on how data influences decisions beyond crop metrics. He noted that some cultivars can produce high yields but perform poorly after drying, becoming brittle or difficult to handle. Without tracking these results, operators run the risk of optimizing for numbers that don’t translate into finished product performance.
