Is there any news about countries or American states taking steps to legalize cannabis freedom ?

Assistant: Short answer: Yes — there’s still active movement around the world and in U.S.

Short answer: Yes — there’s still active movement around the world and in U.S. states, but it’s mixed (some countries/states are advancing legalization or regulated pilot programs while others are tightening rules). Below is a quick, sourced snapshot of the most important developments right now and where to watch next.

Quick highlights (with sources)

• Germany — after legalizing adult use in 2024, Germany is continuing to implement a regulated market and its law is driving regulatory discussion in Europe. Mexico Business News
• Brazil — Brazil’s national health agency (Anvisa) recently cleared the country’s agricultural research agency (Embrapa) to begin official cannabis research and build a seed bank — a major step toward enabling domestic medical/industrial cultivation. Reuters
• Europe (pilot programs / planned reforms) — several European countries are running or planning controlled pilot programs (Switzerland, the Netherlands) or moving toward legalization (Czech Republic has planned reforms). Contentful
• Thailand — not every trend is liberalizing: Thailand moved in mid-2025 to tighten/recriminalize aspects of its earlier liberalization, showing back-and-forth policy risk. Reuters
• United States — state-level activity — as of 2025, medical cannabis exists in ~40 states and adult-use in 24 states; multiple states had active bills, signature campaigns, or shifting policy debates in 2025 (analysts flagged PA, NH, HI, VA among those to watch; news outlets report continuing state-level legislative activity and ballot/legal fights). NCSL

Recent U.S. on-the-ground signals

• Advocacy/tracking groups list dozens of bills and signature efforts in 2025; some states that looked likely earlier in the year saw mixed results (signature drives tossed, restrictive bills passed in some legislatures). If you follow one outlet, Marijuana Moment is a fast daily tracker of state and federal actions. Marijuana Moment

Want a deeper dive?

I can do one of the following right now (pick one):

• Pull live bill status and recent news for a specific U.S. state (e.g., Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Texas).
• Build a short list of countries with active legalization or pilot programs and give details on timelines and what “legalization” actually allows in each place.
• Set up a concise watch-list of 5–10 sources you can follow for daily/weekly updates (newsletters, NCSL, MPP, Marijuana Moment, Reuters, etc.). NCSL

Which of those should I fetch now? (or tell me a specific country/state and I’ll pull the latest bill/status and headlines immediately.)

Momentum for cannabis freedom continues: Germany is implementing a regulated market, Brazil greenlights research, Europe runs pilot programs while Thailand tightens rules. In the U.S. it’s still a state-by-state battle — wins and setbacks. #CannabisFreedom
