California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) took credit for legalizing marijuana in the state but said there's "irony" in the fact that he has limited personal experience with cannabis—except for one "complicated" trip to the Grand Canyon. marijuanamoment.net/newsom-takes-c…

A discussion with NYT editorial writers @emilybazelon @germanrlopez & @DLeonhardt, who co-wrote Monday’s NYT editorial calling for greater regulation of cannabis, focuses on theory rather than practicality, except when used for prejudicial purposes. More tokinwoman.blogspot.com/2026/02/its-ti…

Ha! NYTimes editorial writers think #cannabis is undertaxed compared to alcohol and cigarettes. Not in California, where wine is taxed at one cent per glass and a pre-roll is taxed at over a dollar. @emilybazelon @germanrlopez @DLeonhardt More: canorml.org/stophighertaxe…

Transferring cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III is a meaningful step toward decriminalization. Last year, I urged the Biden Administration to reclassify marijuana, and I was encouraged when they began the rescheduling process. While I welcome this administration’s continuation of that work, I will continue to closely monitor the rule-making process and assess the rescheduling’s impact on expungements, advocate for protections for small businesses against industry consolidation, and ensure this progress is used to reinvest in our local communities—especially those most harmed by the War on Drugs.

Pot is a bad idea. So is criminalizing it. In a free society, grownups should make these decisions for themselves. Kudos to Trump for his EO today. Congress should finish the job.
