GOP Lawmaker Pushes 20-Year Timeline to Reschedule Marijuana

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) says the Justice Department should take about 20 years to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, arguing that the process moves slowly and that internal DOJ disagreements may be delaying action, even as Trump’s order to accelerate the rule remains pending; other lawmakers indicate readiness to act when opportunities arise, while DOJ has offered little public comment amid shifting political dynamics such as redistricting.

Crown Princess’s son to stand trial on rape, violence and drug charges

The eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 29-year-old Marius Borg Høiby, is set to stand trial in Oslo on 38 charges including four counts of rape, violence and threats against former partners, and marijuana trafficking, with a potential sentence of up to 10 years if convicted. The indictment outlines alleged rapes between 2018 and 2024, and violence or threats linked to former and subsequent partners. Høiby has no royal title and remains free pending trial; the royal couple say they will not attend or comment on the proceedings, as the case continues to cast a shadow over Norway’s royal family.

Experts suggest moderation and further research into the condition's causes and mechanisms, as abstinence remains the only confirmed treatment.

The debate involves federal and state regulations, industry impacts, and public health considerations.

The legislation marks a significant shift in Ohio's drug policy, balancing regulation, revenue, and criminal enforcement.
