Lawmakers who vote against or prevent legalization/decriminalizing cannabis can expect pushback.
Proven alternatives consistently demonstrate prohibition results in more harm.
Waging war rooted in bias & fallacy was never a long-term solution, now cannabis isn't Schedule 1...
Does this look like a united country that consistently prioritizes health & human rights?
Killing tools have more protection in some states than live-saving therapies.
A Constitution protecting state's rights, freedom of speech & pursuit of happiness does not look like this:
I am grateful to have sampled for a new CBD grower this morning in NE Kansas! 🌿🌞
It sure would be a shame if this was their one and only harvest any time soon all because another wave of biased policies came through driven by competing interests... #kshemp
These data were presented to Topeka Mayor @SpencerLDuncan 3/9/26 & we hope to continue working towards sustainable, evidence-based policies for Topekans and all Kansans.
A main takeaway:
Even crime and overdose halo effects in Reno have occurred from cannabis decrim in Wichita.

Overdoses are the leading cause of death for American adults under age 45.
At the #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26, we announced a new $150 million commitment to our overdose prevention initiative, expanding efforts to make treatment available in all correctional facilities and emergency rooms in six states.
It’s an ambitious goal — but, over the last ten years, the Bloomberg American Health Initiative has helped raise the bar for what’s possible.

I need to address an intentional tragedy unfolding:
KS' karatom/7-OH ban that took effect July 1 is causing devastating, predicted havoc.
News isn't covering it, but community-based organizations know what's happening.
Compounds can carry risk.
Criminalizing use increases it...
My good friend who works at a well-known gas station franchise told me last night:
Since July, they have been forced to administer Narcan 4 times to people overdosing.
It had never happened prior to 7/2026.
This is a crisis not being addressed by your nonadaptive law, #ksleg

We strongly urge everyone to reach out to their Congress people!

Know this little-known chain of events:
• Lilly™ made cannabis products before it was removed from '42 US Pharmacopoeia
• It also oversaw hidden 1970 hemp eradication studies used to Schedule & fuel war on drugs
• The entity then patented a FDA synthetic cannabinoid drug
Rescheduling is occurring:
A lower schedule means an opportunity to once again decrease risk for studying (and making more drugs.)
Cycle🔃
Lack of control,
overreach causing harm,
move to acceptance w/parameters.
Will policy changes reflect justice w/out corporate exclusivity?
