A recent report sponsored by the CDC says the federal government should be more involved with cannabis policy as more and more states enact reforms to end prohibition.

The Centers for Disease Control, recognizing that cannabis can be detected in one’s system days or even weeks after its use, suggested a nuanced approach to cannabis workplace policies for businesses that employ drivers but encouraged a zero-tolerance policy for at-work consumption.

The FDA and CDC issued warnings this week against consumer products containing hemp-derived delta-8 THC, which has yet to be thoroughly studied.

The U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics found no evidence of increased teenage cannabis use in states where it was legalized.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced a breakthrough on Friday in its investigation into the ongoing vape crisis, singling out vitamin E acetate as the likely culprit behind the spate of hospitalizations and deaths.

A top CDC official suggested that cannabis vaporizer regulations could go a long way to protect consumers from the ongoing, vape-linked lung disease crisis.

77 percent of patients affected by the vape-linked pulmonary illness were using vaporizers containing both THC and nicotine; “nearly all” of the cannabis vape products, however, were obtained from “friends, family members, illicit dealers, or off the street.”

The CDC is not ready to definitively link illicit market cannabis cartridges to the vape-linked lung diseases that have hospitalized hundreds of Americans.
