MAGA leaders are pressuring President Donald Trump to reconsider his interest in loosening federal cannabis restrictions, warning that doing so could damage American society. Currently, cannabis is classified as a Schedule I substance, grouped with LSD and heroin, meaning the federal government considers it highly addictive and without medical benefit.

420 with CNW — Ohio GOP Lawmaker Suggests Efforts to Legalize Cannabis Could Be Paused

State lawmakers in Ohio are likely to head into their summer recess without passing any revisions to the current cannabis regulations. Senate Bill 56 (SB 56), which proposes revisions to Ohio’s recreational cannabis laws, has been stalled in the House Judiciary Committee for two consecutive weeks. The committee canceled a scheduled meeting this week, which only listed SB 56 on its agenda, and previously removed the bill from the agenda altogether. “We’re hitting pause for the summer,” Representative Brian Stewart said. “We might come back to it later and try again.” The Senate approved the bill in February, but it…
