The first major change to federal marijuana laws may be on the horizon now that it has been leaked the Biden administration intends to reschedule marijuana.

The 2018 Farm Bill descheduled hemp, with the intention of allowing it to be used for industrial purposes.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek declared a state of emergency in Portland due to sharp rises in overdose deaths, public drug use, and crime.

Efforts to prevent drug use and encourage kids to live free from drugs have come under increased attack.

After Ohio voted to legalize recreational marijuana, Governor Mike DeWine rightly warned the ballot measure has "a lot of holes."

It may sound radical, but we need interventions that will help more people live healthy, drug-free lives. That goes far beyond cigarettes.

DEA has a chance to send a message that our kids' future is more important than this industry's bottom line.

Protecting public health and helping more individuals achieve healthy, drug-free lives must remain the top priority when developing drug policies.

It is time for a new approach that focuses on prevention, awareness, and treatment—not on addiction for profit.

Why would the legislative prowess of Leader Schumer and others on the same-sex marriage issue desert them when it came to legalizing pot?

Many Americans have deep reservations about the legalization and commercialization of marijuana.

The decriminalization of lethal drugs in Oregon has failed those who are struggling with substance use disorders.

Late last month, Senators Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Ron Wyden released the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act.

Kids are getting mixed messages. Marijuana use rates have increased––and there's no doubt that legalization has played a part.

When Americans are provided with options such as decriminalization and medicinal legalization only, they voice their preference for a marijuana middle ground.

Expectations were sky high this year that marijuana would be legalized at the federal level.

The policy priorities and historically high levels of funding for the Office of National Drug Control Policy coming out of the Biden administration are encouraging signs.

We all know there will be no proper regulation if marijuana is allowed in all its forms. Let's not get fooled again.

In the debate over marijuana legalization, supporters of the pot industry often resort to poor arguments, outdated studies and hyperbole.

The nation's highest Court chose this week not to hear a case in which the marijuana industry sought to deduct advertising and other expenses from its taxes.

It is perplexing that, five months into the Biden presidency, we still don't have a new director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

Until now, critizing the marijuana industry in Colorado has been akin to heresy.

In the discussion of whether marijuana legalization and commercialization is a policy change worth trying, these stories are something the marijuana industry doesn't want you to know.

The Madison Avenue "mad men" and K Street lobbyists have stopped trying to convince the public to see cigarettes in a new light. They are now focused on helping big marijuana take its place.

Over the last several years, the marijuana industry has mounted a multi-million-dollar campaign to persuade the public that marijuana is safe, all the while saturating the market with new, extremely high potency products.

With a more streamlined research process, real science could guide future marijuana policy reforms.

We need a humane drug policy—holistic strategies and programs that get people into recovery and reduce addiction's severe financial and human costs.

While legalization advocates insist their lobbying derives from a desire to increase racial equality and social justice, the real reason is far more cynical: the almighty dollar.

Legislators ought to vote 'no' on the MORE Act now before Congress.

We must not be duped by the false promises of Big Marijuana.
