\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The House Armed Services Committee approved National Defense Authorization Act legislation that would block the military from testing recruits for marijuana<\/span><\/a>, request an update on DOD psychedelics research and require a report on how many service members have been discharged due to cannabis.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The House Agriculture Committee approved a Farm Bill amendment to impose a wide-scale ban on hemp-derived cannabinoids such as delta-8 THC<\/span><\/a>\u2014with some industry advocates saying it could even federally criminalize many CBD products. The overall legislation also contains provisions to remove restrictions on certain hemp farmers and scale back the ban on industry participation by people with felony drug convictions.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Reps. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) and Ben Cline (R-VA) sent a letter demanding that Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Anne Milgram explain why she did not sign the marijuana rescheduling<\/span><\/a> proposed rule and criticizing her for refusing to answer cannabis questions at a recent hearing.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) suggested during a hearing that rescheduling cannabis might lead to more people dying in car crashes<\/span><\/a> from impaired driving.<\/span><\/p>\n
