Nevada’s legal cannabis market runs in plain sight, yet unlicensed sales keep pace because the rules still leave openings. Price gaps, compliance costs, patchy access, and limited places to consume make the illicit channel feel easier for many buyers. This feature tracks what the numbers show, why raids only disrupt, and what actually shrinks underground sales.
New Mexico’s Senate Bill 129 challenges the long-standing assumption that a positive cannabis test equals impairment. By separating outdated drug testing from actual workplace safety, the bill aims to protect medical cannabis patients from job discrimination while preserving employer authority over real on-the-job risk and misconduct.
Federal law still allows cannabis use to strip Americans of firearm rights without proof of danger or misuse. As the Supreme Court weighs United States v. Hemani, courts are confronting whether the government can continue punishing people based on status rather than conduct in a country where cannabis is legal in most states.
This week’s Reefer Report Card tracks a familiar pattern in cannabis policy: delay dressed as progress. Federal lawmakers punted again on hemp regulation, states flirted with dismantling legal markets, and patients were left waiting. Oversight weakened, accountability faded, and reform stalled. Another week in weed, graded.
Reefer Report Card Vol. 30 tracks a week where legalization stalled while rollback efforts gained ground. Ballot initiatives threatened regulated markets, federal reform stayed stalled, and patients were left navigating uncertainty. Demand remained strong, but oversight weakened. Another week where cannabis survived while governance quietly failed.

This feature dismantles that framework, exposing how alcohol math distorts cannabis science, ignores human biology, and fuels modern prohibition under the guise of public health. Numbers may comfort regulators, but they do not reflect reality.
