4 mg dose of naloxone is just as effective as the 8 mg dose — but an 8 mg dose increases the severity of withdrawal symptoms, putting individuals who are recovering from opioid overdose at higher risk of overdosing again.

It’s time to puff, puff, pass the bill. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, I am working with the Cannabis Unity Coalition to decriminalize marijuana as a dangerous drug. The federal government needs to catch up to the states. @NORML @DrugPolicyOrg @lastprisonerprj @NCIAorg

Marijuana never belonged in Schedule I but rescheduling is not legalization, and it will not stop arrests.

Join the Cannabis Unity Coalition in front of Congress at 9:00 am ET this coming Wednesday, May 13th — or support cannabis justice from home!

Yes, We Cannabis! ✊🏼

SSDP is re-centering the voices of individuals who have been negatively impacted by cannabis criminalization—including those who lost decades of their life to incarceration

Cannabis still is not federally legal and our society continues to pay the price

"There are still 3,000 federal prisoners serving time for marijuana offenses, and I pledged to lead a letter to President Trump and his pardons czar, Alice Marie Johnson, seeking their release." - @RepCohen https://t.co/5IQxScO1Ct

Reducing consumer access to cannabis products is not popular, and even Ken Paxton knows it right now.

Congressman Cohen held a press conference on Monday (4/20) with individuals formerly incarcerated in Federal Prison for marijuana offenses alongside SSDP.

There are still 3,000 federal prisoners serving time for marijuana offenses.

Tobacco and nicotine are some of the most commonly used drugs on the planet, yet meaningful education about them can be surprisingly uncommon.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told Marijuana Moment she supports the Trump administration's cannabis rescheduling move—even if it "doesn’t quite make all the wrongs right" by leaving behind people who "had their lives destroyed by the war on drugs."

"We believe it is crucial that 4/20 be not only a celebration of how far we have progressed on cannabis policy since SSDP started in 1998 but a reminder of how far we have left to go,” said SSDP Executive Director Kat Murti. https://t.co/TJQro5ARuj
