In light of Ole Miss and all the dangers with kratom, there’s been a huge PR push to distinguish “natural” kratom versus “unnatural kratom.”
“Natural” kratom is not harmless though.
DOJ’s actions today are a slap in the face to everyone working to stop the horrible consequences that come from this drug. justice.gov/opa/pr/departmen…

Podcasters, tech guys and investors don't get to decide what counts as medicine. Science does.
"We need to be sure that they earn approval the way every other drug does, and right now, what I'm seeing is a lot of podcasters and tech guys and investors pushing this through various channels." Kevin Sabet in NBC News on psychedelics

And it's still sold at gas stations.

BREAKING: Marijuana rescheduling is on hold.
A DEA judge stayed the case for two weeks after FDA told federal auditors that the two-part test behind rescheduling "has not replaced other methods." It's just "an additional framework."
The whole case was built on it.

Seizure of 1,800 Pounds of Illicit Marijuana Serves as a Reminder that Legalization Does Not Eliminate the Illicit Market thedrugreport.org/2026/09/09…

Colorado was supposed to show America how marijuana legalization could work.
13 years after we launched SAM here, the state offers a very different set of lessons about commercialization, potency, addiction, and public health.
Here’s what I’ve learned watching it unfold. 👇

If this big weed investor's recently deleted tweet coincides with the DEA ALJ's recommendation announcement, that will open up many questions.

Cannabis & Psychosis 🧠
👉👉"Daily use and high-potency THC increase psychosis risk in a dose-dependent manner. (More is worse.)
👉👉Cannabis use is consistently associated with an increased risk of psychosis and with exacerbations of psychotic symptoms in both healthy individuals and people with psychotic disorders.
👉👉Cannabis may influence not only the risk and clinical expression of psychosis, but also its timing across the lifespan."

Massachusetts has the opportunity to do something no state has done before: reverse course and send a clear message to the marijuana industry that public health comes before profits.

The largest analysis ever done on marijuana and psychosis just landed. 149 studies. 18,272 marijuana users. Psychosis arrived 2.5 years earlier in users than in non-users. Waiting until your adult years to use weed doesn't save you from the harm.🧵

More adults are using marijuana every day, and more are developing problems because of it.
New data show daily marijuana use remains at historically high levels among working-age adults, while marijuana addiction continues to rise.
These trends should be a wake-up call.

"It's a plant." That's one of the biggest myths driving today's marijuana debate.
@DocAmen has spent decades studying the brain. His response:
"Opiates come from a plant. Cyanide is natural. Arsenic is natural."

BREAKING: Senate caves to Big Hemp.
“Over the next five months, SAM and our partners will make sure voters in every state know exactly who chose to protect gas station THC over their own children.” - SAM CEO @KevinSabet

BIG NEWS: @SenTedBudd's amendment to save the hemp ban is officially BIPARTISAN - his allies are growing by the hour.
As a leader against drugs for decades, I know how hard this noble fight can be. Ted Budd IS the man in the arena. He is facing down Big Hemp — its lobbyists, its money, its scare campaigns — in his own backyard, to protect kids from intoxicating THC products sold in gas stations across America.
I know something about standing up to an addiction-for-profit industry that will lie, cheat, and intimidate to keep its products on shelves. It's lonely at first. Then it's bipartisan. Then it's the law.
Hold the line, Senator. November 12 must stand.
