FEDERAL
The National Institute on Drug Abuse issued responses to questions about a request for proposals to produce cannabis for research.
Former White House Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Bill Bennett said marijuana is a "gateway" to using fentanyl.
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), a Senate candidate, spoke about his support for marijuana legalization during a debate, and Republican opponent J.D. Vancesaid cannabis should be a "states' issue" and that he doesn't want people being sent to jail for use, but he has concerns about people getting violent after consuming.
know anyone that gets violent after consuming cannabis?
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (R-WA) tweeted, "Marijuana is classified at the same level as heroin and HIGHER than fentanyl. @POTUS is right: It makes no sense. Pardoning prior federal offenses of marijuana possession is an important first step. Now, the Senate should pass the MORE Act and legalize it nationwide."
Rep. Troy Carter (D-LA) tweeted, "Grateful to @POTUS for his bold move to pardon those with simple marijuana convictions in federal prison. Now, the next step is to expunge these records."
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) tweeted, "Kamala Harris is bragging about political name's mass marijuana pardons even though she oversaw nearly 2,000 marijuana-related convictions as a San Francisco DA. What changed, @VP?"
Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) spoke about the ongoing federal-state conflict on marijuana.
Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) tweeted, "The FDA has wide authority over products Americans use, but its failures from baby formula to CBD have contributed to shortages and confusion in the marketplace. @HouseGOP would prioritize accountability from FDA and other agencies."
Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) tweeted, "The high concentration of THC in these marijuana products is not what people grew up with. We need to listen to the research, which is clearly pointing to harmful consequences like increased risk of psychosis."
STATES
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) said the "fastest, easiest and quickest way" for someone to deal with a part marijuana conviction is to get it expunged rather than through the pardon process.
A spokesperson for New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) said gubernatorial marijuana pardons are "not necessary" because convictions are already being expunged.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) tweeted, "The only thing standing in the way of legalizing and taxing marijuana in Wisconsin is Republicans in the Legislature."
South Carolina Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joe Cunningham, a former congressman, tweeted, "Our message is one of freedom...Freedom includes women's freedom to control their own bodies. It can include the freedom to purchase marijuana for adults or allow our veterans to use marijuana to treat PTSD, it includes the freedom to put a bet down on a football game."
Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl and GOP attorney general candidate John Kellner will speak at a prohibitionist event on the state's "failed drug policies" on Friday.
Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke, a former congressman, spoke about his support for legalizing marijuana and expunging past records.
California's attorney general announced that the state's Campaign Against Marijuana Planting is being reformulated as Eradication and Prevention of Illicit Cannabis, and that the program chopped down nearly one million illegally cultivated marijuana plants and seized more than 200,000 pounds of illegally processed cannabis over the past year. Separately, regulators said they are making improvements to the state's marijuana track and trace system.
Arkansas Republican attorney general candidate Tim Griffin, currently the lieutenant governor, called legalizing marijuana "a horrible idea."

A Missouri representative discussed her concerns with the marijuana legalization initiative on the November ballot.

This coming from the former AG of California who jailed 1000’s for minor drug offenses…
Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted, "We are urging governors and states to take our lead and pardon people who have been convicted for simple possession of marijuana."
Makes you wonder what the taxes collected wereView attachment 311244
If my calculations are correct that comes to 668 a LB. I could be wrong. Someone somewhere is skimming a ton off the top. In Illinois all the people involved with production are politically connected. Seems like an awful lot of sales for just one month but.. I am probably looking at this wrong.
It is just short of $1800/lb of flowers. Including edibles and infused products skews the numbers since people are buying non-cannabinoid materials(like flour, sugar, oil and alcohol).View attachment 311244
