Tennessee NORML

06/01/2026

June 1....and the countdown has officially started. A regulation that threatens 75% of our state's h**p industry and strips away access to safe, compliant flower is just one month away. This ban doesn't just impact businesses; it impacts everyday people who rely on quality-tested, safe products.

So, what will you do?

Are you going to sit back, or are you join us in the fight to legalize and protect our industry? The future of reform depends on what we do right now.

Thank you, Nick Beres NC5 for bringing attention to this issue

THE OLDER CROWD IS SMOKING MORE POT.
Use of ma*****na is increasing with seniors according to a new study.
ABC4 reports cannabis use among adults over 60 is increasing faster than any other demographic in this country.
Hey, we knew fewer people — especially the younger crowd — are drinking less alcohol with many opting for pot-infused drinks.
But now the 60 and over demographic is using cannabis to find more effective or non-pharmaceutical options to manage sleep, pain, or mental health.
And many people within this age range are coming to use cannabis through word of mouth rather than health care providers.
According to the study most say they just want a better quality of life, reducing their pain, getting better sleep, and being able to enjoy time with family and friends a little bit more.
This should come as absolutely no surprise — especially as more states legalize ma*****na.
It remains illegal in Tennessee.
But here is the reality: That doesn’t appear to be stopping anyone here or anywhere else.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

We have been contacted by a National advocacy group, Ma*****na Policy Project, looking for the following:

Any patient in TN that currently uses the legal 0.9% THsee oil.

By combining our local grassroots network with MPP’s national advocacy power, we are gathering the real-world stories needed to push lawmakers toward a true, patient-focused medical cannabis program.

Are you or a loved one currently using 0.9% THsee oil in TN? DM us or reach out to help us fight for real change.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the incredible sacrifices made by Tennessee’s service members who never made it home. As we remember them, we must also look at how we treat the living heroes walking among us. 🪖🥾

Did you know that Tennessee is home to nearly 400,000 military Veterans? Many of them struggle with the invisible wounds of war, like PTSD and chronic pain💔Yet, under current state law, our vets are forced to choose between breaking the law to find relief or leaving their home state entirely.

While the federal government is finally making strides—with the US House voting last week to let VA doctors recommend medical c@nnabis—Tennessee Veterans are still being left behind by state lawmakers.

Let's honor our fallen by taking care of our living. It’s time for Tennessee to provide our Veterans with safe, legal, and compassionate healthcare choices. 🇺🇸🌿

I’m actively working to build and strengthen our network of Tennessee Veterans so we can better advocate for their needs. I have connected with a few already, and I want to make sure our efforts are well aligned. What are the biggest gaps right now, and how can I best help you? If you would like to be in our network, please message us or comment below. ~ Kindall

On the Eve of Memorial Day weekend, the US House of Representatives have approved legislation which includes language allowing physicians associated with the Department of Veterans Affairs to officially recommend medical cannabis to military veterans in states where its use is legal.

🇺🇸"Supporters have fought for years to ensure veterans can openly discuss and access medical cannabis in states where it is legal without risking their VA care." - NORML

Your thoughts?

"When voters overwhelmingly oppose ma*****na prohibition, why are so many politicians still desperate to criminalize cannabis consumers?"

Support is strongest with Democrats 75%, weakest with Republicans 50%

Looking for an MD or NP that supports MMJ. Also looking for MMJ patients that now live in TN, or now live in an MMJ state.

Tennessee has a C@nnabis Commission in place for several years to investigate a medical program.... WHY do we need to wait 2 or 3 more years for more "investigation"?? We are one of 10 states without a program.

Tennessee lawmakers have tasked a state advisory commission to investigate the validity of operating a medical cannabis program in the state, on the heels of the Trump Administration's announcement that medical cannabis has been moved to Schedule III. Tennessee is one of just 10 U.S. states without a comprehensive medical cannabis program.
