Congress Needs to Hear These Priorities:

Pass the CJS Medical Cannabis Amendment without clawbacks
Allow the rescheduling process to proceed without interference
Fund cannabis research under the 2022 Research Act
Protect patient access in the Farm Bill’s hemp reforms
Oppose moving cannabis oversight to the FDA

Why now?

President Trump’s first 100 days have left medical cannabis hanging in uncertainty — from anti-cannabis appointments to zero action on patient-friendly executive orders. Despite past campaign promises, the administration’s silence has allowed harmful policies and rhetoric to grow unchecked.

Even worse, key anti-cannabis lawmakers now lead the very Congressional committees that will decide the fate of patient access.

We can’t wait for change to come from the top down. It’s time to show up, speak out, and lead from the grassroots.
