Some amazing artistry from a true #cannabis OG Jason Harris. Still creating functional glassware even though the law that put him in jail over 20 years ago is still on the books. Today at Planet Nugg. Stop by. $MSOS – at East Farmingdale, NY

Gretchen Gailey on why an industry built by radicals has become terrified of playing offense in DC. Her solution: make politicians afraid of cannabis.

When did @ups become so bad at delivering packages? They can’t give you any answers as to why your package is just sitting there two days past the delivery date. And you’re told to just keep waiting a few more days.

So far all I do is sit on the phone with “customer support” who can’t seem to give me one single answer. Instead I’m routed to some international, call center who keeps asking for my information “to be compensated.” I don’t need compensation, I just want accountability.

If you’re frustrated with stalled federal weed reform, you’re not alone — but moral clarity isn’t enough. Washington responds to influence, strategy & sustained pressure. If you want real change advocates must play the long game. $msos #cannabis hightimes.com/news/politics/…

Thank you @realDonaldTrump for moving cannabis to Schedule III, but it’s not the end of the road. Patients, businesses, & states are still navigating an outdated federal framework. Lawmakers need to build on this momentum with comprehensive, bipartisan reforms that fully normalize and destigmatize cannabis. $msos

Caught up with former NFL all star @KyleTurley133 outside of the White House today as he pushed for meetings with officials after the government funding bill banned most hemp products. He says cannabis saved his life and he wants America to understand what needs to happen here so people can keep playing football and getting back to work. He says the surprise provision in the bill will ban nearly all hemp derived consumer products and will put 400,000 Americans out of work in a $30 billion industry.

cnn.com/politics/live-news/g… Ex-NFL offensive lineman wants Trump to reverse hemp ban provision in funding package “I don’t think people understand the magnitude of what that’s going to entail….” But @ProjectChampOrg gets it. It’s time for us to accept the concept of “one plant, one set of rules.” $msos

We have consistently asked Congress for clear, science-based regulations —testing standards, labeling requirements, and age restrictions — to eliminate bad actors & protect consumers. Instead, our pleas were ignored. @ProjectChampOrg is here to make sure we aren’t ignored again.
