Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol
Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol, Δ8-THC, is fast becoming a hot product in many US states. I lack the expertise to improve the article, but I hope editors here might be willing to work on it. In particular, I am sure that the average reader will want to know if it will trigger a false positive in a drug test for regular THC, Δ9-THC. Abductive (reasoning) 21:08, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
New York legalization “imminent”
Sources are saying NY deal is done and a vote is “imminent”. We might have a good chance to clean up and expand related articles. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:24, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Followup: AP reported in the last hour it is a done deal "expected to be signed into law in the coming days". ☆ Bri (talk) 19:40, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Pageviews of Cannabis in New York are up sixfold in the past few days, and there was a big uptick at List of 2021 United States cannabis reform proposals around the same time. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:17, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Virginia medical
Virginia is now considered to be have legalized medical cannabis according to various sources such as NCSL, MPP, NORML, and ProCon, due to changes to the program that were made within the past year. I just thought I would give a heads up here before revising a few more articles to reflect that, even though the point may be kind of moot soon once Virginia legalizes recreational.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 18:54, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Jamesy0627144 Is this in dispute? In other words, are there sources which refute the characterization as legalized? We try to provide WP:WEIGHT to conflicting sources. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:22, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Bri. Those are pretty much the main organizations in the US that track cannabis policy and that provide an updated map / list of states that have legalized medical cannabis. The only other main one is Americans for Safe Access and they show Virginia as not having fully legalized medical cannabis. However, the information on their website appears to be outdated as there is no mention of bills passed in 2020 and 2021 such as the one that increased the allowable THC.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 20:10, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Add leafly.com and National Conference of State Legislatures to the sources that concur. Sounds like your proposed change is following the best known RSes. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

US cannabis map update
Currently the US cannabis map shows Idaho and Nebraska as the only two states that have not passed low-THC, high-CBD medical cannabis laws. While this may technically be true, both of these states allow the general sale of CBD products to the public (see here and here), and both allow Epidiolex to be prescribed as it is legal in all 50 states now. Considering this, I don't think it makes sense to have separate colors for "Legal for medical use, limited THC content" and "Illegal for any use" anymore. I therefore would like to trim the map down to just 3 colors as shown to the right, but wanted to give a heads up here first as it is kind of a significant change affecting multiple pages. Other pages that would need to be edited are Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction (to modify the color column) and Template:Cannabis in the United States.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 15:25, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
So as mentioned above this will change will also require a change to Template:Cannabis in the United States. Here is what I came up with regarding what that would look like.
Also, I've been going back and forth regarding what to label the gray color in the legend, and now I'm thinking just label it "Illegal" instead of "Neither of the above". So I changed the graphic to the right to reflect that.
I'll probably go ahead and make the edits on this Monday or Tuesday.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Maybe a new footnote that hemp and hemp-derived materials including CBD are nationally legal? ☆ Bri (talk) 20:59, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- My preference would probably be to just obliterate the entire notes section except for "Includes laws which have not yet gone into effect." Don't you think that the notes section is getting rather bloated?--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 02:59, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- For anyone else following and concerned about a radical change in colors, you can refer to this MPP map which is essentially the same.
- We should try to make the map as self-explanatory as possible. I'm uneasy completely eliminating the notes. How about this?
- Notes:
- · Reflects law of states and territories, including laws which have not yet gone into effect; does not reflect federal, tribal or local laws.
- · Hemp and hemp-derived products have been legal since passage of the 2018 Farm Bill.
- BTW is anyone following the U.S. House vote on the SAFE Banking Act today? ☆ Bri (talk) 15:16, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- That seems like a step in the right direction Bri. The note about hemp and hemp-derived products though – is that referring to federal law or is it referring to the hemp / CBD being legal in the states?--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 16:47, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Federal, I'm not sure down to the state level where (if anywhere) prohibition of hemp and hemp-derived products is still being attempted; however, under a number of legal analyses like USDA's, the federal law pre-empts state attempts to regulate transportation, which in any practical sense may turn out to pre-empt prohibition at all. There may be some weak case at the state level to regulate CBD as a drug while remaining clear of the federal preemption, but again I think there are going to be legal problems with that theory. Especially since according to FDA, CBD isn't even an approved drug [2] so all sales currently are under the umbrella of food, unregulated dietary supplement, or other nonmedical use. The states are probably going to be left in the long term with the option of requiring specific product testing and labeling, but prohibition is way behind us now. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:03, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- OK, sounds reasonable. I would probably split up the first note into two sentences, but other than that I think that it is good what you came up with... especially the first note that condenses a lot of the previous information. I updated the graphic on the right to incorporate all of this.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 16:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

The Origins of Sour Diesel
The "Origin" section of Sour Diesel is sorely lacking, and flat out wrong. It's only reference to an article that itself is misleading. I have tried repeatedly to update it, even leaving the misleading reference in the section. But each time the author reverted it. Even the most basic research proves this section to be misleading and or down right false. This is just the sort of thing that make Wikipedia unreliable as a reference and it should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RigDigBamWham (talk • contribs) 17:26, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- @RigDigBamWham: Then. Change. It. What do you get from complaining if you're not willing to improve articles. Wikipedia is volunteers, there's no customer relations you can ask to get round to clearing out what you think is wrong. Of course, just because your buddy told you an origin doesn't mean it's correct, either. Kingsif (talk) 02:45, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- I think Kingsif missed the fact you already tried changing it. RigDigBarnWham, per WP:3RR, you should try creating a discussion on Talk:Sour Diesel about this. It looks like your edits (assuming you were the IP) were reverted because KoA does not consider alchimiaweb to be a reliable source. I do not know enough about it to know if that was the right call or not, but you should find other reliable sources to back up those claims. Hope this helps. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 05:03, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
USA Track and Field
USA Track and Field said "the merit of the World Anti-Doping Agency rules related to THC should be reevaluated" after effectively banning Sha'Carri Richardson from the 2021 Olympics. Not sure where to put this. The Richardson bio seems to be getting a little heavy on cannabis policy. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:25, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- Today also some news sources including ESPN are tying the Nevada state rules change to Richardson, at least indirectly. Another conundrum. Maybe we need Cannabis and sports? ☆ Bri (talk) 22:02, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think there would be any shortage of material for making that article considering all of the athletes that have been suspended for marijuana use over the years and the efforts that have been undertaken to try to get various sports organizations to change their policies regarding cannabis (especially the NFL which I am somewhat familiar with, having written a large portion of the articles for players such as Eugene Monroe, Derrick Morgan, Kyle Turley, and Eben Britton). Could also include a list of all the athletes that have now gone into the cannabis industry which is getting to be a very large number. Unfortunately I don't really have much time to pitch in on the effort but it does sound like a good idea.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 15:53, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- Good idea on the list of athletes who went into cannabis industry. There's an interesting family business in Kamilche or Shelton, Washington that should be included: Joy Hollingsworth is a partner, and former college basketball coach. Also Shawn Kemp, former Sonics, opened a Seattle retail location. They both happen to be BIPOC, I think we will find more with RS stating reasons why ([3]), which should be treated accurately and with care. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- Also Marshawn Lynch (Seahawks Superbowl running back), just stumbled across his name while reviewing the businesspeople in the cannabis industry category. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:34, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure where this belongs? ☆ Bri (talk) 23:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- There is an article Cannabis drug testing where it could possibly go. I also saw in the news recently that New York became the first state to ban cannabis testing under most circumstances. A few cities have also passed similar laws I believe, so perhaps the article could be expanded to included some kind of legality / reform section.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 20:32, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

US federal legalization vote _almost_ scheduled
A House vote on Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act is now scheduled for next week, earlier than some expected. The article might be a good target for improvement. About 75% of the authorship is by just two editors. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:10, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Adjust text - it's reported to be scheduled for a Rules Committee hearing on Monday, then probably a floor vote later; the floor vote could be as soon as Monday. Possibly worth adding to the article? the Rules Committee Chairman is Jim McGovern who campaigned on "moving those [legalization] bills to the House floor". ☆ Bri (talk) 23:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
Need help reviewing a new article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Product_Safety_in_the_Cannabis_Industry

It's in queue with over 1000 articles and this is important to occupational health and hazards with new cannabis and product safety. Any suggestions or senior editors who can help? Thanks! I'm not a new Wikipedian but new to the space of writing about Cannabis. sheridanford (talk) 16:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- @SheridanFord: quick feedback: 1) Does the article need {{Connected contributor (paid)}} template? 2) Have you considered expanding cannabis product testing with at least some of this material? It seems like there might be considerable overlap with a new article. 3) Also, please try to find another source than the press release in the draft. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:10, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
Broccoli - editor reverted my additions to the talk page
I was thinking about Cannabis and Broccoli, and so I looked at what Wikipedia had to say about it. As it turns out nothing, so I wrote a short note on the Broccoli talk page mentioning the connection and giving a list of sources. But now it is gone. I have seen a lot of dismissive behavior on Wikipedia, but the editor Zefr just reverted my edits to a talk page. I had provided six sources for the symbolic connection between Broccoli and Cannabis. To be clear, I didn't vandalize the article, I didn't even change the article. I just added the information to the talk page, so others can see and discuss this. I do not understand why anyone would revert this. I do not understand why anyone would revert a talk page (except when its obvious vandalism). I feel personally offended, so it is probably not a good idea for me to continue. Can someone please look into this? --91.64.59.86 (talk) 19:10, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Instead of responding, editor now reverted my edit on their talk page. I simply can not understand this behavior.--91.64.59.86 (talk) 19:31, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- I have written a longer explanation on my user talk page. I'd still very much appreciate someone else coming in.--91.64.59.86 (talk) 21:35, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for your contributions to discussion. Without looking beyond the diffs you provide, it does seem dismissive and inappropriate for a user to remove good faith talkpage edits without even leaving a reason. But there may be little point to looking for recourse, and you can bring a discussion about broccoli and cannabis to this talkpage, we'll be happy to have you!

Editors from WPMed being the biggest bag of disruptive at Talk:AK-47 (cannabis)
And at the article itself. My mistake, adding the WikiProject banner, but they're not disproving their steamroller-y, uncivil reputation, and are now trying to destroy the article and hammer me. Any input or a quick shooing would be appreciated; the potential for more shitty WPMed editor encounters is almost making me want to not develop cannabis articles, which I'm sure is exactly what the WP:JERKs want. Kingsif (talk) 15:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

- This project and the other project are not going to see eye to eye on a lot of things, at least not this decade, I'm afraid. I'd say stick with the subjective-qua-subjective (color, smell, taste, etc.) or pure historical fact, and leave anything vaguely medical out of the DYK nomination. And try to make your hooks go back to unimpeachable sources, like books from publishers who have a Wikipedia article, or A-list newspapers.

POV in Kevin Sabet
Kevin Sabet needs a good going-over. It has POV language like describing New Jersey legalization as a "push to commercialize marijuana". Plus extensive laudatory use of the subject's own writing as sources, for example citing a NYT editorial written by the subject, citing five of his own testimonies to various legislatures, and nearly the entirety of the bibliography section. Other markers of PR include the hallmark terms "He spoke in front of..." and "he was seen at..." ☆ Bri (talk) 03:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)
and turns it into something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

US policy changes affecting pageviews
Just thought project folks would like to know daily pageviews for Cannabis policy of the Joe Biden administration have gone up over 30-fold overnight (36 → 1,281). This article happened to be linked in a factcheck sidebar yesterday with some news stories that appeared at Google News.

- Yeah I always get excited whenever I see one of the articles I've worked on linked to from somewhere or plagiarized. I guess most people wouldn't like being plagiarized but I love it as a wikipedian (probably others do to)... although I'm not sure if that's technically plagiarism if it's from wikipedia. As for pageviews, I also like to check those from time to time and have noticed that a lot of the cannabis policy articles went down a lot in views since the pandemic started.... especially the "Cannabis in [state]" articles. I'm not sure why that is but some of them should be going back up again with the election coming up.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 21:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

USVI legalization

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

CBD move proposal
There is a proposal to move CBD to CBD (disambiguation) in order to have CBD redirect to Cannabidiol. If you have an opinion on this, please share it at Talk:CBD#Requested move 16 August 2023. Nosferattus (talk) 14:51, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Legality of Delta 8
Did you all see this? DEA considers Delta 8 illegal when synthesized from CBD. AFAIK, that is how most Delta 8 products are made. What articles need to be updated? Esb5415 (talk) 12:51, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- I would probably wait until some kind of formal policy is released, which the article says the DEA is working on. Right now all that we have is an internal email that was unearthed. Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol would of course need to be updated, and off the top of my head there is a sentence in Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction that would need to be edited.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 20:36, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Martha Stewart cannabis non-hoax
I was going to start writing up a new cannabis hoax, that Martha Stewart is developing a cannabis brand. Turns out it might not be so far fetched. Here's an AP story; there are others including The Atlantic and Washington Post. This doesn't appear to be covered in the bio article at this time. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:08, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Determining the future of B-checklists
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council § Determining the future of B-class checklists. This project is being notified since it is one of the 82 WikiProjects that opted to support B-checklists (B1-B6) in your project banner. DFlhb (talk) 11:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
German legalization likely
I updated German cannabis control bill with recent developments, including a vote next week on the legalization bill. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:57, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- The final Bundestag vote on national legalization is scheduled for tomorrow. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:23, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- It passed. The Legality of cannabis article has been updated and I also updated the two maps, since I'm pretty sure it's final with nothing else required like the president signing it or another legislative body passing it. Hopefully I'm right about that.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 21:48, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Not fullly up to speed on German system either, there was some discussion of German Bundesrat opposition earlier, but I think it has become moot somehow or other. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:07, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
CBD Vaping
Hello. Just wondering if y'all think there is enough literature out there on CBD e-cigarattes to warrant its own page. CBD vapes are mentioned only incidentally on Electronic cigarette (which isn't even tagged with this WikiProject), and there is also a page on CBD cigarettes. Perhaps this can be a project for the 420 Collaboration if so. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 00:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
