\n<\/span><\/a>\/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW<\/b>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>New Hampshire House and Senate negotiators reached a deal on a marijuana legalization bill<\/span><\/a>. The final proposal will head to the floor of both chambers for up-or-down votes by a June 13 deadline before potentially going to the desk of Gov. Chris Sununu (R).<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The Senate unanimously passed a resolution condemning Russia\u2019s incarceration of U.S. citizen Marc Fogel over cannabis<\/span><\/a>\u2014pointing out that he \u201cdid not wish to use opioids to manage his pain and was instead prescribed medical marijuana for pain management.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health hosted a meeting where representatives of several federal agencies discussed marijuana science<\/span><\/a> with a focus on the potential of cannabinoids and terpenes to treat pain\u2014but a Drug Enforcement Administration official who was scheduled to speak did not show up.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Dave Joyce (R-OH) and Barbara Lee (D-CA) sent a letter calling on Veterans Affairs Sec. Denis McDonough to rescind his department\u2019s directive<\/span><\/a> blocking VA doctors from issuing medical cannabis recommendations to military veterans in light of a pending federal marijuana rescheduling move.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Voters in Slovenia will decide on marijuana legalization and medical cannabis ballot referendums<\/span><\/a> when they head to the polls on Sunday.<\/span>
\n<\/span>

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>A new Washington State law that took effect on Thursday exempts medical cannabis patients from the state\u2019s 37 percent marijuana excise tax<\/span><\/a> when purchasing products that meet certain higher testing standards.<\/span>

\n<\/span>Independent presidential candidate <\/span>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/span><\/a> tweeted, \u201cMDMA treatment for PTSD and other mental illnesses has a big drawback \u2014 a single treatment is effective. That means small profit potential compared to lifetime treatment with conventional pharmaceuticals. Maybe that\u2019s why an FDA advisory committee shot it down. One of the committee members actually works for Johnson & Johnson.\u201d<\/span>

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE)<\/span><\/a>, currently running for Senate, tweeted, \u201cThe Biden-Harris Administration recently took major steps to reclassify marijuana as a schedule III substance. Like the President says, this is a big deal.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT)<\/span><\/a> joked during a contentious hearing with Attorney General Merrick Garland that she understands why some people want to use cannabis gummies even though she doesn\u2019t partake herself.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Rep. Morgan Luttrell (R-TX)<\/span><\/a> tweeted that a Food and Drug Administration panel\u2019s rejection of MDMA-assisted therapy \u201cwas a poor decision & a step in the wrong direction.
