  • Attorney general moves to reclassify marijuana as lower-risk drug

    May 1, 2024

    Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday recommended loosening restrictions on marijuana, a historic shift in federal drug policy that could broaden access to the drug for medicinal use and boost cannabis industries in states where it is legal.

    May 1, 2024

  • T.J. Oshie, the heart of the Caps, wants to keep playing. He's not sure if he can.

    May 1, 2024

    When T.J. Oshie's back is at its worst, the Washington Capitals winger can't pick up his children, let alone lace up his skates. Often, he can't even stand up. He spends most of the time, in fact, "on the floor, peeing in water bottles," until he sees the chiropractor who brings him relief - relief that proved to be all too temporary throughout the season. The double ablation Oshie underwent in April 2023 helped somewhat, but it was never intended to be a permanent solution, Oshie said at...

That rulemaking process is expected to wrap up in early 2025. State senators pushed forward a proposal Tuesday to allow certain Minnesotans to grow...
