The Last Prisoner Project joined forces with justice reform advocates, families of the incarcerated, and key congressional leaders—Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and others—to deliver a powerful call to action. Together, they presented a joint letter urging President Biden to use his clemency powers to correct historical wrongs before the end of his term. The letter’s impactful plea reads: “Now is the time to use your clemency authority to rectify unjust and unnecessary criminal laws passed by Congress and draconian sentences given by judges. We urge you to reunite families, address longstanding injustices, and guide our nation toward ending mass incarceration.” #cannabisnews #clemency #socialjustice

The future of cannabis reform is under the spotlight once again with President-elect Donald J. Trump returning to the political stage. During his first term, Trump’s administration took a hardline stance on cannabis, appointing Jeff Sessions—a vocal cannabis prohibitionist—as U.S. Attorney General. Sessions famously declared, "Good people do not smoke marijuana," setting the tone for federal resistance against legalization. Now, with Trump poised for another term and a Republican-controlled Congress, the stakes are high. Will his campaign’s recent shifts on adult-use legalization signal a change in approach? Or will federal cannabis reform, including rescheduling and the SAFER Banking Act, remain in limbo? Business owners, patients, and advocates are watching closely. #cannabisreform #cannabislegalization #cannabisindustry

A groundbreaking step forward in medical cannabis research! Back in 2021, the FDA halted a proposed clinical trial aimed at exploring marijuana’s potential to treat PTSD in military veterans, citing health risks from high-potency cannabis and concerns about unlimited patient dosing. Fast forward to this month: the FDA has done a 180 and given the green light for the study to proceed! ?? This decision marks a significant shift and a promising development for researchers and veterans alike. #cannabisnews #medicalcannabis #PTSD #veteranshealth

In the three years since recreational cannabis was legalized, New York’s headlines have often highlighted legal battles, bureaucratic hurdles, and public safety debates. While these issues are real, they overshadow a transformative achievement: New York is leading the way in building the most equitable legal cannabis market in history. This progress wasn’t guaranteed. For decades, cannabis prohibition devastated Black and Latino communities—tearing families apart, erasing wealth, and criminalizing entire neighborhoods. Today, the very industry once used as a tool of oppression is becoming a force for healing and repair. New York’s approach shows us that market success isn’t about good intentions—it’s about thoughtful design and intentional policies. While challenges remain, evidence suggests the Empire State is paving the way for a more inclusive future. #cannabisequity #NYCannabis #socialjustice #cannabisIndustry

Fighters are proving CBD is a game-changer in combat sports. "A significant concern in boxing and MMA is the risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to repeated blows to the head.

In a surprising shift from his previous administration, President-elect Donald Trump has chosen U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz as the next Attorney General—a pick that signals big changes for cannabis policy. Gaetz, nominated on November 13, has consistently advocated for pro-cannabis reforms, including federal legalization, expanded cannabis research, and secure banking for the industry. Trump’s endorsement on Truth Social highlighted Gaetz’s dedication to transforming the DOJ, emphasizing that he will “end weaponized government, protect borders, dismantle criminal organizations, and restore faith in the Justice Department.” This appointment marks a bold new direction, especially compared to former AGs Sessions and Barr. #cannabisnews #cannabisreform #justicedepartment
