420 with CNW — Pew Survey Finds Variations in Attitudes to Cannabis Legalization Within Parties

Historically, the left has been open to more liberal policies while the right has always espoused conservative beliefs. This has been especially evident in cannabis reform, and except for a recent Republican-led cannabis bill, the GOP and its followers haven’t been big fans of legalizing the adult use of cannabis. A new survey from the Pew Research Center shows that these disparities in political views not only vary between the two parties but also among party members themselves. Rather than two blocks with uniform political views, it’s more like a range of views that lean either right or left. However,…

New research has found that cannabis intensifies the experience of psychedelics by increasing the substances’ effects. The research was conducted by scientists at Imperial College London, with its findings being published in the “Psychopharmacology” journal. For their study, the researchers conducted an analysis of online surveys submitted by more than 300 people who gave descriptions of different aspects of their experiences with psychedelics and reported whether they had used marijuana together with these substances and, if so, the quantity they used. The researchers discovered that using cannabis with substances such as mescaline, ayahuasca, DMT, LSD or psilocybin simultaneously increased the…

The bill also stipulates that the secretary of Health and Human Services and the attorney general will need to collaborate with the secretary of transportation to compile a public report within two years of the measure’s enactment that will include recommendations on permitting researchers to access retail-level cannabis to study impaired driving. The marijuana…

420 with CNW — Republicans Introduce Federal Cannabis Decriminalization Bill

A group of Republican lawmakers has introduced a cannabis decriminalization bill that is expected to act as a compromise between broad, Democrat-led reform and more modest legislation from the GOP. The bill would decriminalize cannabis at the federal level, levy a tax on cannabis sales, and include social equity provisions, essentially giving both parties what they wanted from a cannabis bill. Although there are a couple of compromises for both sides, the Republican-led version has a great chance of gaining bipartisan support and advancing past Congress, a feat that has so far eluded the Left. Dubbed the States Reform Act,…
