Not everyone knows that the Minnesota Constitution prevents the state from requiring a license to sell products of farm or garden occupied & cultivated by seller. But it does. So can a person who grows marijuana on home property lawfully sell it? More: minnnorml.org/2023/07/26/min…

🚨Prohibitionists aren’t just fighting to prevent or repeal marijuana legalization – they’re trying to take the decision away from voters entirely. Don't let your rights go up in smoke. 🔗 Link on how you can fight back in first comment.

😚💨 Just like with alcohol or caffeine, consumers self-titrate their cannabis consumption based on product strength. NORML has consistently pushed back against the imposition of arbitrary THC potency limits on state-legal cannabis products, arguing that consumers distinguish between higher-potency and lower-potency cannabis products and moderate their consumption accordingly. 🔗 Link to story in comments.

🚨 The ballot question asks Idahoans to relinquish their right to ever vote on legalization and to hand over sole authority to state lawmakers. The message behind HJR 4 cannot be clearer. State officials don't trust voters to do their bidding on the issue of cannabis. 🔗 Link to story in comments.

✅ Police attempted underage purchases at 1,452 licensed marijuana dispensaries. Their efforts were rejected by retail staff over 99.5% of the time. Data from state after state after state show that licensed dispensaries are in strict compliance with age requirements and nearly always deny access to minors. 🔗 Link to story in comments.

📉 Marijuana use by young people has fallen in every state that has enacted laws legalizing and regulating the adult-use cannabis market. Study after study has found that cannabis policy reforms are not linked to increased rates of cannabis use among adolescents. 🔗 Link to story in comments.

🩺 As more physicians, nurses, and others integrate medical cannabis into their clinical practices, it is vital that their medical associations, institutions, and educational curricula similarly incorporate and embrace marijuana as a mainstream and established therapeutic option for patients. 🔗 Link to full story in first comment.

🚨 Question 8 is not about promoting the health and safety of Massachusetts residents; it is a trial balloon by a prohibitionist interest group intent upon rolling back legal cannabis markets nationwide. Twenty-four states now regulate adult-use marijuana markets. None of these jurisdictions have ever repealed their legalization laws. Massachusetts must not be the first. 🔗 Link on how to help defeat Question 8 in first comment.

🩺 When patients ask about medical cannabis, will their nurses be ready to answer? Fewer than 1 in 5 US nursing students said they felt prepared to discuss marijuana. Patients deserve informed, judgment-free care, and the classroom needs to catch up. 🔗 Link to full story in first comment.

🌿 More than 6,000 cancer patients shared how they felt after gaining access to medical cannabis through their state's program. Many reported improvements in appetite, sleep, pain, nausea, anxiety, and depression. That relief can make it possible to share a meal, rest, and be present with the people they love. 🔗 Link to full story in first comment.

A decade-old marijuana conviction should not become a lifetime ban on exercising a constitutional right. And that’s why FPC filed an amicus brief at SCOTUS in Johnson v. United States.
