3 states are joining the fight to reverse President Donald Trump’s administration’s immediate reclassification of medical cannabis to Schedule III, filing a petition for review with the D.C. Circuit, suggesting the DOJ violated the APA.

"Petitioners will show that this agency action fails to comport with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act ... because it was improperly promulgated and was otherwise procedurally improper, that it exceeds or is inconsistent with pertinent authority, including the Controlled Substances Act ... and the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs ... and, ultimately, that this agency action is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and not in accordance with law."

Nebraska, Indiana and Louisiana filed a petition for review in federal court, arguing that immediately rescheduling medical cannabis violates administrative procedures.

Study finds that cannabinoids can fight dental problems like plaque, but what about rotten teeth?

Organic shoppers rejoice, there might be a future for an effective all-natural cannabis toothpaste. The first of its kind, a recent study published in Cereus (2020), posed the question of whether or not cannabinoids could reduce the bacterial content of dental plaques. And the results? In a study on those whose dental health ranged from pearly whites to rotten teeth, cannabinoids actually outperformed well-known synthetic toothpastes like Oral B and Colgate.

How is this possible?

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice paved the way for the freedoms we have today, and their memory deserves more than a single day of recognition. 🇺🇸

We also recognize the many veterans who returned home carrying invisible wounds — PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and trauma from their service. Across the country, countless veterans have shared how cannabis has helped improve their quality of life, offering relief where traditional treatments often fell short.

Studies and public health data from legal cannabis states have also suggested reductions in opioid use and improvements in mental health outcomes among veterans and adults overall, while some research has observed lower su***de rates or slower increases in su***de rates following medical cannabis legalization. While more long-term research is still needed, these findings continue to fuel conversations about safe access, compassionate care, and alternative treatment options for those who served.

This Memorial Day, we remember the fallen, and we continue advocating for the living. Supporting veterans means exploring every possible avenue that may improve their health, wellbeing, and quality of life.

From all of us at the Alabama Cannabis Coalition, thank you to every service member, veteran, and military family. We honor your sacrifice, today and always.
