Doc Green Cannabis Education

06/08/2026

How interesting! Cannabis in healthcare is truly an evolving landscape.

Trulieve trades on the NYSE starting June 10, the first U.S. plant-touching cannabis company on a major American exchange. The catch: it carved its recreational w**d into a separate company to get there, and the first Green Rush is a cautionary tale.

This comedian is so funny! Like it or not, it has become mainstream and is now part of the fabric of our healthcare. As funny as this skit is, it also emphasizes the need for cannabis education for both doctors and patients. We have some catching up to do!

The dichotomy between federal versus state cannabis laws rages on. I have seen a lot of people commenting on different threads about DOT physicals and how the recent rescheduling of ma*****na impacts the medical cards associated with DOT certification.  DOT certification is a federal program, abiding by federal guidelines. The rescheduling has not been approved federally, it only made provisions at the state level and only when accompanied by a state issued medical card. The conversation may change once there is an approved test for impairment when driving versus consumption off hours. It is a gray area for sure, but as expected, federal trumps state with this issue. 

Says not a 'legitimate medical explanation'

The gap between federal and state laws regarding cannabis products is slowly moving towards each other. TSA is the newest federal agency to give “a left-handed nod” to medical cannabis and the ability to fly with it.  What are your thoughts on this?

Something changed at TSA… and most people completely missed it 👀✈️🌿
On April 27, TSA quietly updated its medical ma*****na webpage and removed language that previously stated ma*****na was federally illegal. The update happened just one day before the DOJ’s limited Schedule III cannabis rule took effect.
Here’s what we know so far 👇🏽
✈️ Both carry-on and checked bags now show “Yes (Special Instructions)” for medical ma*****na on TSA’s website
📄 TSA did not release a press statement explaining what those “special instructions” actually mean
🌿 Current federal Schedule III protections only apply to FDA-approved cannabis products and state-licensed medical ma*****na products
⚠️ Recreational cannabis and many other products are still federally prohibited
👮 Local law enforcement still follows state laws, meaning what happens can vary depending on where you’re traveling
🧳 TSA has long stated that its officers focus on security threats—not actively searching for ma*****na—but discovered substances can still be referred to law enforcement.
This isn’t federal legalization. It doesn’t suddenly mean cannabis can freely travel everywhere. But it is another sign that federal agencies may be slowly adjusting their language and policies as medical cannabis rules evolve.
Would you feel comfortable traveling with state-approved medical cannabis, or are the rules still too unclear? 💭

Wonder how much of this has to do with cannabis sales?  is there any wonder why the big Pharma, big to***co, and big alcohol lobbyists have set their sights on the cannabis arena?
