They called it "reefer" to make you afraid.

We made it a plan.

R — Reschedule
F — Fund Trials
E — Educate
R — Regulate

Four letters. Four policy pillars. One path from prohibition to evidence-based regulation.

The word was designed to scare people in the 1930s. We're taking it back — and attaching a gameplan to it.

RFER. Focused. Functional. Fair.

Federal legislation to deschedule cannabis just gained five new sponsors, bringing the total to 70. The measure had gained just one new sponsor this year prior to the DOJ’s rescheduling order last week; it has gained nine since then. https://t.co/i0JpauhpRy

Schedule I blocks research. Blocked research keeps doctors uneducated. Uneducated doctors leave patients without options.

That's the loop.

We can't fund the trials yet. But we can organize what already exists.

57 studies & counting. Peer-reviewed. Human-reviewed. Searchable by condition.

@TheDankInformer @TABSRQ All the more reason the federal government needs to finally acknowledge efficacy, while also acknowledging their role in the unregulated market that we see today. Until they can do that, there isn't a true path forward.

@TheDankInformer 'Bad actors' will continue to exploit & argue for deregulation, while opponents push prohibition.

FOMO isn't a personality quirk. It's a measurable psychological phenomenon with documented health consequences.

A 2025 meta-analysis found it has the strongest correlation with social media addiction of any factor studied - stronger than depression, anxiety, or loneliness.

It activates the brain's threat-detection circuitry. The perceived social threat feels as real to your amygdala as a physical one.

Now imagine that same FOMO brain encountering a "limited drop" 1,000mg gummy on its social media feed. No testing. No dosing guidance. Just urgency.

That's not a consumer choice. That's an exploit.

America's youth mental health crisis is real.

But the timeline matters.

Adolescent depressive symptoms rose 33% between 2010 & 2015. The suicide rate for teen girls increased 65% during the same period.

Colorado's first recreational cannabis sales started in January 2014.

The crisis was accelerating before most dispensaries opened their doors. What did happen in 2010–2012? Smartphone adoption crossed 50%. Teen social media use went from half to nearly all.

The Surgeon General issued an advisory about social media & youth mental health.

No equivalent advisory exists for cannabis legalization.

The timeline doesn't support the headline.

@TheDankInformer To do this right, you first have to be honest about what's wrong. Here's a look at how Pennsylvania fares.

Yes - and you reasoned it out correctly.

Cyproheptadine treats akathisia by blocking 5-HT2A. CBD activates 5-HT1A. Those are different levers on the same serotonin system, & in serotonin-driven akathisia they point in opposite directions.

Same symptom, two different mechanisms underneath, two opposite treatment needs. The fact that a patient figured this out from lived experience before any clinical guidance existed for it says everything about where we are with cannabis research.

Schedule I doesn't protect you from this complexity. It just makes sure no one's being paid to untangle it.

Truth is, CBD can be favorable for dopamine-pathway akathisia, while potentially problematic for seratonin-excess. I hope you don't mind, but I've updated the article with this question. All the more reason to reschedule & unlock the clinical trials.

@Peter_Grinspoon is a PCP, educator, & cannabis specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, as well as an instructor at Harvard Medical School. His personal history with opioid addiction & his openness to share his story provides a unique perspective on cannabis.

@AndrewZywiecMD You're not wrong about 'some' of the normalizing efforts.

I hope as a medical professional, you could see the harm in lumping it all in the same boat. Doing so, discounts all those lives who could truly benefit from 'what could be', if done responsibly.

[Scrap the Script @scrapthescript]

@AndrewZywiecMD That's where the disconnect between those on opposing sides of the fence is, & our own government is to blame. There is a path.

Reschedule, to take the handcuffs off.
Fund the clinical trials.
Educate healthcare professionals & consumers.
Regulate based on science & not stigma.
