@BryanFields24 People often mistake ambivalence or confusion for disagreement.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has publicly endorsed the barbaric murder of a young Jewish and Israeli couple. Its call to “Free Elias Rodriguez” is a grotesque attempt to glorify a cold-blooded murderer.

After being shot, Sarah Milgrim struggled to crawl away. Elias Rodriguez walked over and executed her at point-blank range. This is the antisemitic demon the DSA has chosen to lionize.

Everyone can agree—cannabis operates in a legal gray area.

For starters, anyone in the industry is technically breaking federal law, as cannabis remains federally illegal.

But for an in-house attorney at an MSO, the job isn’t just about navigating federal risk.

Our Day 2 starts with a bang! The debate over what rescheduling means, what it should look like and if it will ever even happen has been going on for quite some time. We can all agree it will be a game changer. Join us for an in-depth examination https://t.co/DyCyya6Yg2

[Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee @AJCCEO]

Burning American flags, desecrating a replica of the Liberty Bell, and scrawling “Hamas is coming” outside of Union Station in DC.

These “protestors” have one message, which, according to the Director of National Intelligence, is backed by Iran. It’s not about peace. It’s not about the hostages. It’s about Hamas terrorism. They celebrate it. The civilized world condemns it.

The Prime Minister was right: “For the forces of civilization to triumph, America and Israel must stand together. Because when we stand together, something very simple happens: we win, they lose.”

At the State of the Union address, President Biden touted his efforts on marijuana, a potentially potent issue for young voters.

“No one should be jailed for using or possessing marijuana,” he said. #SOTU2024 https://t.co/u531Tnznlw https://t.co/u531Tnznlw

The NFL and NFLPA are jointly awarding grants totaling $526,000 to independent medical researchers investigating alternative pain management methods, including the effects of cannabidiol (CBD).

A large impediment to active athletes engaging in cannabis deals / investments.

[Nate Jones @JonesOnTheNBA]

Just a heads up. In many talent agreements, the talent have morals clauses that can get their deals canceled, but the employers, partners, distributors do not. It’s often one way. I know the internet often wants people to turn on their bosses/partners, but it ain’t that easy.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Game changer: The league's new collective bargaining agreement will give players the ability to invest in NBA and WNBA teams, as well as promote and/or invest in sports betting and cannabis companies, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

[Dan Shapiro @DanMShapiro]

Immediate thought. I wonder if this opens the door for active NBA athletes to work with cannabis companies.

Other sponsors may still have issue (morality clause), but the league being on board could go a long way.

[Dan Shapiro @DanMShapiro]

Big cannabis news in the sports world!
