“Most people who come to cannabis wish they'd done so years and years before,” Caplan says. “The vast majority of people feel tremendous relief. They feel control and agency over their own illnesses in a way that they didn't understand was possible.”

Incredible to see #cannabis advocates, religious leaders, and lawmakers coming together in order to provide patients the #MMJ they deserve access to! https://t.co/4vqjuakqBD

Congrats to U-Penn for becoming the next Pennsylvania academic institution with permission to conduct studies into medicinal #cannabis! As science shows the efficacy of #MMJ, hopefully other states will also allow their schools to engage in research! https://t.co/U0GnGtvOoG

The judge's ruling to allow a 5-year old to have her #MMJ on school grounds, only for emergency usage in the case of an epileptic seizure, is an obvious one. Archaic laws preventing people from accessing much needed treatment need to be overturned. https://t.co/OPMwXBn8Le

While many states realize the benefits of #MMJ, the fight for access continues in places like Utah. Hopefully voter led initiatives there will succeed and prevent community leaders from denying patients access to medicinal #cannabis

Members of Congress, uniting across party lines, are pushing for the Dept. of Veterans Affairs to research the benefits of #cannabis for veterans with PTSD, chronic pain, and opioid addiction. Fantastic to see lawmakers cross the aisle for a great cause! https://t.co/4RLbQXrEBI

Stockton Univ. in NJ has created a minor in #cannabis studies, hoping to introduce students to the drug's medical, legal, and sociopolitical aspects. Great to see colleges accepting and encouraging young adults to become better informed about #MMJ! https://t.co/yKuesyQ6R4

Science keeps showing how #MMJ can help patients of all sorts. In this newest study researchers found how #cannabis can help those at clinical high risk of psychosis. https://t.co/mxiduZJv1y

Congratulations to Gov. Bruce Gauner @GovRauner for signing a bill intended to fight the opioid epidemic by increasing access to #cannabis by patients in Illinois. He also expanded the state's #MMJ program by cutting away other restrictions. Great news! https://t.co/DnB9VVqSe9

The DEA is looking to quintuple the amount of #cannabis grown for federal research. Fantastic news for growers which have been fighting to get permission and even better for researchers and scientists who want to help shatter the stigmas about #MMJ. https://t.co/6WWT6jutcA

Great read from @Forbes writer @warmlyburns looking at how strict testing could result in the #cannabis industry making agriculture safer. She explains how requirements in places like Cali could result in the development of bio-pesticides https://t.co/GUXIqq0fdl

Michigan's #MMJ program has seen some stumbling blocks but, with the granting of licenses to two labs, it looks like safe, tested, and reliable medicinal #cannabis may almost be within reach for residents. Great to see this important step being taken. https://t.co/JAspiYBKBs

Another bipartisan bill has been introduced to Congress, aiming to protect the rights of patients who need medicinal #cannabis as part of treatment plans. Great to see politicians like @CharlieCrist and @RepDrewFerguson protecting access to #MMJ! https://t.co/HxNNYLjkrF

Interesting study at the Queen Mary University of London found that #CBD was able to make pancreatic cancer treatments more effective; keeping mice with the disease alive much longer. Another study showing the potential of #MMJ as a treatment option! https://t.co/PDEwpiZ2UD

20% of California #cannabis firms are failing to conform to the newer, stricter, standards enacted on July 1st. The results underscore the need for physicians and patients to research what they're using and ensure that their brands are safe and transparent https://t.co/Td2OrFCVWP

Research in Pediatric Neurology Briefs showed that online cannabidiol products are mislabeled at an alarming rate. As Americans come around on the topic of #MMJ this growing industry needs more standardization and oversight. https://t.co/HZ9yFTnioL

Late last week Maine's Governor vetoed a bill which would have allowed physicians, not politicians, to decide which patients need access to #MMJ. Hopefully the legislature which passed the legislation will override the veto and place patients first. https://t.co/OLxuF8GUZ6

Congratulations to Luxembourg for becoming the next country in the world to legalize #MMJ! Every nation which overcomes anti-cannabis stigmas helps show the world how beneficial medicinal cannabis can be. Hopefully more to follow. https://t.co/JRmilKkQKz

Oklahoma voters this week made history, passing some of the most progressive medicinal cannabis laws in the nation. Hopefully other states will follow their lead! Check out the coverage of the #MMJ vote by @_cingraham for @washingtonpost Great piece!

Congrats to researchers at GW Pharma who this week overcame decades of anti-cannabis stigma and won the 1st FDA approval for a cannabis-based medicine. The future looks good for #cannabis, hopefully this is the start of a larger pro #MMJ trend! https://t.co/WYnGjDcitD
