As lawmakers nationwide explore the benefits of legalized marijuana, there are common questions being raised: how will tax structures apply? How will it be regulated? Who can use it, and how can we make it safe? One expansive area covered by broad safety conventions is the road––don’t drive inebriated. In this arena, marijuana, it would seem, fits under the larger umbrella of mind-altering substances categorically outlawed for drivers.

California dispensaries say butane hash oil, or “wax,” now accounts for 40% of sales — despite potential health risks and home lab explosions on the rise. With no regulation and a lack of good information, stoners turn to self-appointed, and self-interested, “experts” like Matt Rize — but at what cost?

The first person I see after walking into the half-empty office of Marley Natural, a seller of cannabis products launching later this year, is a framed portrait of a pensive Bob Marley overlaid with the colors of a sunset — or maybe flames. The second is a clean-shaven, middle-aged man with greying hair wearing a sharp suit. He looks like the type who would turn off a Marley song on the radio in favor of listening to the newest U2 or Wilco track.

The U.S. attorney’s office, representing Obama’s Justice Department, made the argument in a court filing Wednesday opposing a challenge to the long-standing federal law that classifies marijuana as a Schedule One drug along with heroin, LSD and ecstasy — substances that have a high potential for abuse and no safe medical use. While there may be “some dispute among doctors as to whether marijuana is medicine,” there is ample...

It's Christmas for drug policy data nerds! In late December to little fanfare -- not so much as a tweet! -- the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration released state-level numbers from the most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).

Last week, Oklahoma and Nebraska sued Colorado, hoping the U.S. Supreme Court will rule that legalized recreational marijuana is unconstitutional due to its impact on neighboring states.

Moves by some U.S. states to legalize marijuana are not in line with international drugs conventions, the U.N. anti-narcotics chief said on Wednesday, adding he would discuss the issue in Washington next week.

Four to six times a week, elite triathlete Clifford Drusinsky wakes up at 3 AM to train. But before he sets out, he opts not for a sports drink but for 20 milligrams of THC in a marijuana energy bar. By the time it kicks in, 30 minutes later, he's started an hour in the pool, a three-hour bike ride, or a 13-mile run. "Marijuana relaxes me and allows me to go into a controlled, meditational place," says Drusinsky. "When I get high, I train smarter and focus on form."

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California will hold rare formal hearings beginning Monday, October 27, to determine whether an indictment against Brian Justin Pickard and others for conspiracy to grow more than 1,000 marijuana plants violates the U.S. Constitution, and whether marijuana is misclassified by the federal government as a dangerous Schedule I drug with no medical value.
