The DEA is delaying the rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I, despite overwhelming scientific support and recommendations from health authorities.

Texas is ground zero for the next great cannabis battle. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is pushing an all-out ban on THC, doubling down on outdated drug war rhetoric.

This isn’t just a ban—it’s a war.
