The “every legal state, use down, therefore stores saved the kids” line is a before-after slide deck, not a finding.National teen use fell. That is real.
It also fell while alcohol and cigarettes fell, it fell in places that never legalized, and the steepest drops line up with COVID, not with the first dispensary opening. A lobby group lining up the last pre-law survey versus “now” and calling it proof is what you do when you do not have a controlled estimate.
Teen Marijuana Use Has Decreased In Every State That Has Legalized It For Adults, Contrary To Opponents' Scare Tactics: "Moving cannabis sales from streets & schools to adults-only stores has been accompanied by reduced access & use of cannabis by youth."

Two Ole Miss students are dead, and kratom was reportedly found in both investigations. We don’t yet know the cause, and we shouldn’t get ahead of the facts.
But we do know kratom is dangerous. I’ve been warning about its risks for years and young people deserve to know those risks now.

Again in a "regulated" state
Who woulda guessed?
Since Nevada legalized cannabis, the illicit market has become larger and more violent.

This is not a bug, it is a feature of the marijuana industry.

Grateful to @WSJ for taking a serious look at the marijuana debate.
Thanks to @AllysiaFinley @WSJopinion for the thoughtful Weekend Interview with me and the opportunity to discuss where the evidence - and the conversation - is headed.

Can cannabis affect your ability to tell what really happened from what didn't?
A brain imaging study found that abstinent chronic cannabis users were more susceptible to false memories, making them more likely to identify events that never occurred as real. Researchers also found reduced activity in brain regions responsible for memory, attention, and reality monitoring—and greater cannabis use was linked to greater impairment.
These findings suggest that cannabis may have lasting effects on memory and cognitive control, even after users are no longer intoxicated.

Happy 4th of July!
Today, we celebrate the freedoms and shared responsibility that make our nation great.
This framing removes all personal agency and acts like addiction is only society’s fault.
Compassion matters. Treatment matters. Mental health care matters. But “harm reduction” without accountability can absolutely enable destructive behavior and normalize open-air drug use and disorder.
At some point, “harm reduction” just becomes end-of-life care on the street.
This study is being oversold.
A short-term cannabinoid supplement trial with self-reported sleep improvements is not proof marijuana is a safe or effective long-term sleep medicine.
Cannabis is also linked to tolerance, dependency, rebound insomnia, and disrupted sleep in chronic users.
Struggling to sleep? This cannabinoid supplement boosted sleep quality, eased insomnia!
Compared to the placebo, the cannabinoid supplement significantly improved:
Sleep quality and efficiency (how well people slept).
Insomnia symptoms (fewer sleep problems). Overall health and quality of life.
Anxiety improved significantly for the cannabinoid group.

People brag about cannabis tax revenue while ignoring the economic drain created by the industry itself.
ER visits. Addiction treatment. Impaired driving crashes. Workplace accidents. Reduced productivity. Mental health crises. Psychosis treatment. School impacts. Black market enforcement. Increased healthcare costs.
California’s legal cannabis market generated $311,089,042 in sales in April, bringing the state’s year-to-date total to roughly $1.21 billion (resulting in around $180 million in tax revenue). themarijuanaherald.com/2026/…
The study did NOT show cannabis cures stomach cancer in humans. It studied cannabinoid receptor activity in cancer cells under laboratory conditions. Cancer cells in a dish are not the same thing as treating an actual patient.
Researchers can kill or slow cancer cells in vitro with all kinds of substances — bleach, radiation, toxins, chemotherapy compounds, etc. That does not mean they become safe or effective medicines in humans.
Older adults are actually one of the highest-risk groups for cannabis complications: falls, dizziness, confusion, impaired driving, drug interactions, dependency, and worsening cognition.
Older adults are using cannabis more than ever.
For some, it may mean less pain, better sleep, fewer pills, and a better quality of life. The difference often comes down to dose, product, timing, and good medical guidance.

This is your wake up call: There is nothing normal about needing to ingest a mind-altering substance every day to function in the world.
Addiction specialists call that dependence.

Big Cannabis Sold You a Lie. Now the Federal Government Is Giving It to Your Grandparents.
Bombshell lawsuits, a European safety bombshell, and a rogue Medicare program converge in the most dangerous moment in American cannabinoid policy history.
They said it could treat your anxiety, your pain, your PTSD, your insomnia, your opioid addiction, your cancer, your irritable bowel syndrome, your grief, your boredom, your sadness, and your shyness.
They built billion dollar companies on those claims.
They hired lobbyists, funded public relations campaigns, and placed their products in gleaming dispensaries designed to look like Apple Stores - all while knowing, according to explosive new federal lawsuits, that the science behind those claims was weak, nonexistent, or flatly contradicted by the research they chose not to tell you about.
According to the complaints, these companies marketed cannabis products as medicine capable of treating a staggering list of conditions - insomnia, narcolepsy, cancer, auto-immune disorders, neuropathy, pain, anxiety, PTSD, opioid addiction, and more...

This was not a randomized placebo-controlled trial proving cannabis treats migraines. It was largely based on self-reported outcomes from medical cannabis patients already expecting benefit.
That matters because migraines are extremely vulnerable to placebo effects, expectation bias, regression to the mean, and natural symptom fluctuation.
Also left out: cannabis can itself cause rebound headaches, dependency, cognitive problems, and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome in some chronic users.

100%. These are dangerous synthetic chemicals that should not be available in every convenience store next to the tall boys. Thanks for your leadership on this @electcharles !
THREAD: Texas was ahead of the curve on THC.
Last week, the Texas Supreme Court upheld the state’s authority to classify delta-8/10 and other THC analogues as Schedule I controlled substances under Texas law. (1 of 3) #txlege txcourts.gov/media/1462654/2…

Four reasons why @GovernorShapiro is wrong about pushing for recreational use of marijuana:
“Marijuana products are today of unprecedented high potency, are often highly processed, aggressively advertised, and often packaged to appeal to minors.”
