The White House FY2026 budget request calls for the repeal of a long-standing federal rider that prohibits the Justice Department from using taxpayer dollars to prosecute patients and others involved in the state-legal medical cannabis industry. The provision, which has been in place since 2014, protects patients, caregivers and medical cannabis providers in the 39 states that have legalized medical access from federal interference or criminal prosecution. Prior to the passage of this protection, federal prosecutors routinely took actions against patients and dispensaries in legal states.
