📉 Sensational claims that legalization is linked with greater marijuana use by teens are simply not backed by reliable data.

🚗💨 Cannabis and alcohol can both affect driving, but not in the same ways. In this real-world study, drivers sped less after using cannabis, but not after drinking alcohol.

🌿 When it came to lower back pain, THC made the difference: Participants reported improvement with THC-dominant edibles, but not CBD-dominant products. Have you found THC, CBD, or a combination of both more effective for managing pain? 🔗 Link to story in comments.

🌿 Because urine and hair analyses can detect past cannabis use days, weeks, or even months after any impairing effects have ended, they tell employers nothing about whether an applicant is capable of doing the job safely and effectively. Studies consistently show that employees who consume cannabis during their off-hours perform no differently and pose no greater safety risk than their coworkers. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/07/20/re…

🌿 Legalization should provide adults with safe, affordable access to tested cannabis products of known purity, potency, and quality. Tax policies that price consumers out of regulated stores undermine that fundamental goal. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/07/21/an…

🟢 BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional rights of cannabis consumers to legally possess firearms. For years, NORML has argued that responsible consumers should not be treated as second-class citizens under the law. Today's ruling is a major victory for cannabis freedom and a powerful affirmation that constitutional rights do not disappear because someone uses marijuana. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/06/18/su… #2A #SCOTUS

🙄 For decades, prohibitionists have claimed that weed makes you stupid. New research adds to the growing body of evidence refuting that assumption. Researchers reported that "recreational" consumers performed similarly to non-users on tests measuring cognitive function, even for those who consumed frequently. 🔗 Read more: norml.org/news/2026/05/28/st…
