MYTH: Some people need to go to jail to get treatment

REALITY: Most people in local jails have substance use disorders, yet only a tiny fraction of jails provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder.

Jails are designed for punishment, not care.

Today is Edwin Rubis’s 58th birthday. His 29th behind bars for a nonviolent cannabis offense.

Cannabis went corporate. Edwin stayed in a cage.

What is legalization worth if the industry leaves people like him behind?

The full story makes that contradiction impossible to dodge.

Brazil opened the door to domestic medical cannabis cultivation, then installed a pharmaceutical-grade security system around it.

Better supply chains for patients. Serious compliance costs for operators. A 0.3% THC ceiling for everyone.

Progress, or a market built too narrow?

.@RickRoss calls dispensary weed "trash" and says the underground still has the best product.

"I’m actually razor sharp when I’m smoking. I’m sluggish when I haven’t smoked."

Are patients still being forced to teach their providers?

How do you think rescheduling will shake out for the medical cannabis sector? https://t.co/dE1swBqGxI

Mass incarceration is shaving years off people's lives:
