People came together in NYC with a simple, but clear message “healthcare, not lethal military force.” Veterans, doctors, and everyday people spoke out against military strikes on boats especially as Medicaid and other health services get cut. 📷: Emerson Soto

Since last year, the U.S. government has bombed 68 boats in international waters. Now, they are seeking to expand military drug operations onto land across the Western Hemisphere. Suspected drug trafficking can be legally addressed through investigation and due process—not execution.

Marijuana reform must prioritize public health, safety, & reinvestment. The newly-reintroduced CAOA would end federal marijuana criminalization & put people, not corporate profit, at the center of marijuana reform. Tell your Senators to back real change now: engage.drugpolicy.org/secure/tell-...

Marijuana reform must put public health and communities at the center.

We deserve more than shifting marijuana's legal classification.

It's time to pass the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA).

Real Marijuana Reform Means:
-Ending federal criminalization, expunging records, and supporting re-entry
-Expanding marijuana research and health education to address risks
-Creating jobs and protecting workers in the industry
-Prioritizing communities, small businesses, and entrepreneurs over corporate bottom-lines

Demand marijuana reform grounded in health, safety, and reinvestment – not half-measures.
Tell your Senator to support the CAOA today and end federal marijuana criminalization.

Your zodiac sign = how you reform drug policy 🧵 Let us know if yours is accurate 👀

Aries (March 21-April 19) You tackle problems head-on. You're not waiting around for change. Be a vocal supporter of drug policies that protect health, not more punishment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You value community. Support drug policies that offer connection. You believe people should be housed, connected, and able to rebuild -- not policies that shut people out.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You ask the important questions. You look beyond the surface to understand what leads to problematic drug use and support solutions that help people stay safe, healthy, and supported.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You care deeply about people. You know support can make all the difference. Check in on loved ones who may be struggling -- and speak up for policies that make help easier to find.

When people can access housing, food, jobs, & other supports during reentry, they're able to rebuild better, leading to safer communities. This Second Chance Month, we're proud to lead the federal fight to remove lifetime bans on food assistance & housing rights that can come w/a drug conviction.

Urge the Trump admin to deschedule marijuana—and tell Congress to act. The MORE Act would end federal criminalization, expunge past convictions, restore benefits, reinvest in communities, and improve consumer safety. Tell Congress: pass the MORE Act. engage.drugpolicy.org/secure/tell-...

Drug Policy Alliance @drugpolicy.org · 23/04/2026

Real marijuana reform means ending federal criminalization and building a system based on health, safety, justice, and community investment. Rescheduling can’t do that. Descheduling—paired with Congressional action—can.

121

Drug Policy Alliance @drugpolicy.org · 23/04/2026

Rescheduling acknowledges marijuana’s medical value. It could also lift some research restrictions and boost corporate profits. Yet arrests, housing/job barriers & gaps in safety, labeling, worker protections would remain. We’re pushing for an end to federal criminalization + comprehensive reforms.

Drug Policy Alliance @drugpolicy.org · 20/04/2026

Legalizing marijuana the “right way” means: ✅ Ending the federal criminalization of marijuana ✅ Using marijuana tax revenue for community supports (jobs, health services, parks etc.) ✅ Freeing marijuana prisoners & expunging their records ✅ Restoring benefits to people with a marijuana conviction

We quizzed strangers on what can reduce overdose risk by 50%. Watch to see how they did 👀

142

Drug Policy Alliance @drugpolicy.org · 24/03/2026

Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), like methadone & buprenorphine, are the most effective treatments for people struggling with addiction to opioids. They promote recovery and save lives by reducing cravings & withdrawal symptoms, while cutting overdose risk in half. But access is at risk👇

What does marijuana moving from Schedule I to Schedule III actually do?

064

Drug Policy Alliance @drugpolicy.org · 27/02/2026

Methadone reduces opioid cravings & withdrawal symptoms, all while cutting overdose risk in half. But getting it requires near-daily visits to an opioid treatment program (OTP) - and 80% of counties in the U.S. don’t have one. Promoting recovery and saving lives must include methadone access.

Overdose prevention centers like OnPoint NYC are a lifeline for people. They ensure that people have a place to stay warm, medical care, outreach, & a safe place indoors instead of on the street. Over three days of freezing temperatures last week, OnPoint stayed open 24hrs to keep people alive.

071

Drug Policy Alliance @drugpolicy.org · 10/02/2026

During last weekend’s life-threatening freeze, city leaders asked OnPoint’s overdose prevention center (OPC) to stay open 24/7 to keep people indoors, warm, and alive. They did. That’s what OPCs are: community safety infrastructure that saves lives, cuts 911 calls, and connects people to care.

Drug Policy Alliance @drugpolicy.org · 03/02/2026

Congress has passed its annual spending package, and it secures funding for overdose prevention and addiction treatment that was at risk. This vote doesn’t replace the massive cuts made last year. It doesn’t mean our work is over. But it does mean our pressure is working – and you made it possible.

Not everyone who uses drugs has an addiction, but those who do may need a range of social services including treatment, housing, recovery services, detox, overdose prevention services, and more. What don’t they need? To be criminalized.

Comprehensive Marijuana Reform Should Put People Over Profits
• End federal criminal penalties & fully deschedule marijuana — removing barriers to jobs, housing, and basic needs
• Expungement of past marijuana convictions so everyone has access to jobs and economic opportunities, including in the MJ industry
• National labeling standards with clear info on ingredients and safer use
• Reinvest marijuana tax revenue into community: addiction services, job training, reentry, and public health

Rescheduling would acknowledge marijuana’s medical value. It could also lift some research restrictions and boost corporate profits. Yet, arrests, housing/job barriers & gaps in safety, labeling, and worker protections would remain.

Moving Marijuana to Schedule III Leaves Gaps & Harms Persist
• Marijuana remains a federal crime; incarceration, housing, job barriers continue
• Federal research roadblocks remain, limiting studies on the products people actually use.
• No national product safety standards or worker protections, despite legalization in 40 states
• $3B+ per year wasted on federal marijuana enforcement
• No expungement of past records, which will continue to block jobs & housing, and increase deportation risk
• Corporations get tax breaks, while communities remain harmed

Worcester, MA’s approach to rising overdose deaths shows what’s possible when communities bring care directly to people most impacted. Mobile methadone vans, readily available Naloxone, and a local drug-checking program can detect the presence of fentanyl. www.npr.org/2025/11/30/n...
