A recent poll conducted by The Harris Poll in conjunction with Royal Queen Seeds found that a majority of American adults believe that home cultivation of cannabis should be legally permitted. According to the survey, 59% of respondents agreed that "all Americans should have the right to legally grow cannabis at home."

As the legalization and normalization of cannabis continues to spread across the globe, it's becoming increasingly common for parents to use marijuana. This trend shows no signs of slowing down - in fact, it's likely that the number of parents who smoke cannabis will only grow in the coming years. While this may be an uncomfortable reality for some, it's a fact that we as a society need to face head-on.

So, while the 420 of today may look different from the 420 of our grandparents' generation, the heart and soul of the movement remain intact. It's a time to honor the pioneers who fought for legalization, to celebrate the progress we've made, and to look forward to a future where cannabis is fully integrated into society without stigma or judgment. 

A recent Gallup poll has called into question the very foundation upon which the edifice of prohibition is built. The survey found that rates of marijuana use are nearly identical in states that have legalized the substance compared to those that continue to maintain its prohibition. This startling revelation suggests that criminalization has little impact on actually curbing consumption, challenging the long-held belief that the threat of punishment is an effective deterrent.

A 2020 analysis published in Science magazine revealed a striking disparity in cannabis research funding. Of the $1.56 billion directed to the topic between 2000 and 2018 in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, roughly half was spent on investigating the potential harms and adverse effects of recreational cannabis use. The U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the largest funder, allocated more money to studying cannabis misuse and its negative consequences than to exploring the therapeutic potential of cannabis and its derived compounds.

MMJ BioPharma's noble pursuit of scientific advancement has been met with a series of inexplicable roadblocks and bureaucratic hurdles erected by the DEA. In 2018, the company dutifully applied for the necessary licenses to cultivate marijuana for research and development purposes, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to commence clinical trials that could yield life-changing treatments. Yet, despite meticulously following the DEA's convoluted application process, MMJ BioPharma found itself trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of delays, obfuscation, and stonewalling.

A fascinating new poll conducted by NuggMD, a medical marijuana telehealth company, suggests cannabis consumers are growing wise to these panderous tricks. The survey of likely voters who regularly use marijuana found that party affiliation takes a back seat for this voting bloc. A solid majority - 59% - said they would vote for a pro-cannabis candidate regardless of party. Only 14% were locked into voting along party lines.

The cannabis industry may have a secret "ace card" up their sleeve if Ohio is any indication off liberal voter turnout.  You may remember that Ohio voted on cannabis legalization and abortion rights on the same ballot and voting night last year.  This dual liberal ballot caused a swell or women and liberals to hit the voting booths, passing both measures in the same night.  Florida finds itself in the same situation this November, with abortion rights on the same ballot.  A "two birds, one stone" voting night may happen again as more liberals and women come out to vote.

For years, one of the loudest voices on the prohibition side has been Kevin Sabet and his organization SAM (Smart Approaches to Marijuana). Sabet recently co-authored an opinion piece in The Hill arguing against rescheduling cannabis and painting a dire picture of the supposed harms of legalization. But do his arguments hold up to scrutiny?
