News in Cannabis: What’s Happening at the Federal Level Change is in the air, friends — and it could reshape the future of cannabis across the country! Here’s what’s currently happening on the federal level and what it means for us here in Virginia
✅ Federal Reform on the HorizonCongress is actively debating how to legalize and regulate cannabis nationwide. Two major bills — the PREPARE Act and the STATES 2.0 Act — were recently reintroduced. Together, they aim to create a clear path for adult-use legalization and give states like Virginia the freedom to design their own programs.
💡 Rescheduling UpdateThe DEA and Department of Justice are reviewing whether to move cannabis out of its outdated Schedule I classification — the same category as heroin. This would be a huge step forward for medical research, banking access, and safe regulation.
🌱 Hemp & CBD Under ReviewWhile cannabis reform moves forward, some lawmakers are pushing to tighten rules around hemp-derived products (like Delta-8 and some CBD products). These changes could affect how hemp items are sold, labeled, and tested — especially products with any measurable THC.
💬 Why It MattersFederal reform affects everything — from business operations and product safety to community education and criminal justice reform. Healing Seed VA will continue to advocate for responsible, informed, and inclusive cannabis education here in our community.
Together, let’s keep growing knowledge, breaking stigma, and supporting safe, responsible cannabis use.
