No More DEA Traveler Searches!

Republished from NORML with permission.

Agents affiliated with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been instructed to stop searching travelers at airports or other “mass transportation facilities” without a warrant, following a directive issued by Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General. The directive, issued earlier this month, followed an investigation by the IG’s office. That investigation determined that DEA personnel lacked adequate training and often failed to properly document their search-related activities.

“The DEA’s failure to collect data for each consensual encounter, as required by its own policy, and its continued inability to provide us with any assessment of the success of these interdiction efforts once again raise questions about whether these transportation interdiction activities are an effective use of law enforcement resources – and leaves the DEA once again unable to provide adequate answers to those questions,” Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz determined.

Landmark PTSD Cannabis OK

For years, military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have sought alternative treatments beyond traditional pharmaceuticals. Now, after years of regulatory hurdles and advocacy, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a groundbreaking Phase 2 clinical trial to study the effects of smoked marijuana on veterans with moderate to severe PTSD. Funded by tax revenue from Michigan's legal cannabis sales, this research represents a monumental step toward validating cannabis as a legitimate treatment option for PTSD.

PTSD affects millions of veterans, with many turning to medical marijuana for relief. Anecdotal evidence from veterans suggests that cannabis can alleviate anxiety, improve sleep, and reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. Yet, despite its inclusion in many state-level medical marijuana programs, rigorous clinical data supporting its efficacy has been sparse.

Cannabis Regulators Unveil Plans

Three proposed license types include “Supplemental” for existing Marijuana Establishments, “Hospitality,” and “Event Organizer”

Up until this week, chatter about cannabis social consumption in Massachusetts had mostly been regressive. Instead of moving forward, news from the Cannabis Control Commission often indicated that the Bay State was no closer to having weed lounges than in 2018, when state lawmakers passed a bill with a provision to allow municipalities to permit such venues in accordance with particular rules.

We’ve covered that backstory extensively. But in light of a presentation on Social Consumption Establishments [SCEs] given today by CCC Commissioner Bruce Stebbins with supporting staff members, it’s finally time to look forward to social consumption, defined in Massachusetts as “A Marijuana Establishment licensed by the Commission where Consumers can purchase and safely consume Marijuana and Marijuana Products.”*
