Some marijuana reform developments (with seasonal politics) via Marijuana Law, Policy and Reform

It has been a few weeks since I highlighted here developments in the marijuana reform space, and recent posts from Marijuana Law, Policy & Reform highlight just some of the reasons why the on-going 2016 election (and the football season just completed) provide a number of marijuana reform angles and stories worth keeping an eye on:

• Did the voters of New Hampshire just significantly help improve the chances of federal marijuana reform?

• Florida voters to get another chance to legalize medical marijuana via 2016 ballot initiative

• Prez Obama clarifies that marijuana reform is NOT among his final priorities

• "Elizabeth Warren Urges CDC To Consider Cannabis To Solve Opioid Epidemic"

• GAO says DOJ "should document its approach to monitoring" the impact of state marijuana legalization

• Oregon Health Authority report calls for "the creation of an independent, free‐standing Oregon Institute for Cannabis"

• "Medical Marijuana Could Help the NFL Cure the Illness Menacing Players' Brains, Activists Say"

• Big new public health analysis of marijuana legalization proposals in California

• "These nuns will get you high — as heaven"

• What's in a Name? That Which We Call Marijuana by Any Other Name Would Still Engender Opposition (... but maybe we should still doff thy name?)
