My new article in @MarijuanaMoment about the NY CCB's failure to adopt ASTM D8441, which is THE international cannabis product symbol. Hopefully this will educate regulators in other states to adopt no-brainer consensus standards! @DFCRorg @ASTMIntl marijuanamoment.net/new-york…

I'm excited that my op-ed in the @PhillyInquirer got more page views than anything else on their website yesterday! Pennsylvanians are clearly interested in cannabis regulation as an alternative to the failed policy of prohibition. @DFCRorg inquirer.com/opinion/comment…

Pennsylvania’s approach to alcohol vs. marijuana makes no sense | Opinion

Alcohol is by almost every measure more harmful for adults than cannabis. And yet it's recreational cannabis that remains illegal in Pennsylvania.

NYers: Please urge the CCB to simplify their symbol and use the IICPS, which is a true universal standard (ASTM D8441) that is already used here in NJ. Don't put text inside the symbol, and make the leaf bigger! See below for a better choice. @DFCRorg @ASTMIntl @tremaine4ny

BREAKING: When you see this symbol on a product in stores, you'll know it's, tested, high-quality New York Cannabis. We're submitting this universal symbol to the Cannabis Control Board for its review at tomorrow's meeting & can't wait to hear from New Yorkers about it.

The new @ASTMIntl / @DFCRorg standard & official symbol for MT as of Jan 1. NJ & VT have used the IICPS design in their state symbols, making it the most widely adopted cannabis product symbol in fully legalized states. AK and others are looking to follow. cannabisindustryjournal.com/…
