And then use the taxes to subsidize our funeral…🤦♂️.
@donmurphy12a Democrats want to tax us to death.

Congratulations Maryland General Assembly, your 33% tax increase on #cannabis (effective today) just made illicit weed that much more attractive. Sadly, I’ve heard no complaints from the industry’s representatives. Shame.

This’ll make some heads explode but you can’t deny the effectiveness of @ProjectChampOrg, @GretchenGailey and @Rickthelaureate.
The #cannabis industry has always wondered about the impact of "celebrity brands" in the marketplace. @ProjectChampOrg & @Rickthelaureate has figured out how best to put celebrities to work for the plant and the patients who need it. $msos #msosgang.

It was 10-2 before the @TheDemocrats finally pulled their pitcher. Shades of their 2024 presidential campaign.

Lots of speechifying by @HouseDemocrats but no defense of #Hemp. An up or down vote without amendments just passed 9-7. Amendments will likely be available at the full committee mark-up next week.

I’ll be attending the voting session on the ‘hemp amendment’ in House Apps this morning. You can watch it at the link below at 10:30 eastern.

It’s not every day that members of the press corp ask me for samples, but it happened today! I told them I had samples for anyone who asked a #cannabis question. @AmericanCCo

This op-ed by my friend and partner @GretchenGailey may make some heads explode but that doesn’t mean it’s not 💯….
Until the cannabis & hemp industries start to get political, we are going to continue to lose with lawmakers over and over again. There is more to politics than lobbying. $msos #msogang.

God bless @RepThomasMassie. “If something is beautiful, you don’t pass it after midnight.” Priceless.
I’d love to stand here and tell the American people “we can cut your taxes and increase spending and everything will be fine.”. But I can’t because I’m here to deliver a dose of reality about the ticking debt bomb known as the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

I had a series of interesting convos with Prohibitionist US Senators this morning. “If no one is above the law, you need to either fully support an end to #cannabis prohibition, or fully support federal enforcement,” I said. “Repeal it, or enforce it.”

Majority Leader @SenSchumer’s failure to bring #SAFEBanking to the Senate floor for a vote last term means that 500,000 employees in the #cannabis industry can’t get mortgages for homes at any price. @AmericanCCo.
Washington Post: "President Donald Trump’s trade war is adding thousands to construction costs for new homes and remodels.".

It’s time to enforce federal law, or fix (repeal) federal law. I look forward to chatting with you on Capitol Hill.

“No matter what you think of Sen. Tillis‘s questions or comments, anytime the issue of cannabis is brought up in the Senate Judiciary Cmte, we are winning,” Don Murphy, told MM. “We are making incremental steps that will lead to an end to prohibition sooner rather than later.”.
NEW: Terrance Cole, Trump's nominee to lead DEA, said it'll be one of his "first priorities" to check on the marijuana rescheduling process if confirmed—but he refused to commit to moving cannabis to Schedule III as recommended by federal health officials.
