Illegal marijuana farms continue to be a major problem in states that have legalized marijuana.
Many of these operations are run by drug cartels engaged in human trafficking and violent crime.

On Tuesday both of Arkansas’ U.S. Senators and three of the state’s U.S. Representatives co-sponsored federal pro-life legislation in Washington.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) filed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act generally prohibiting most abortions after the fifteenth week of pregnancy — when experts say an unborn baby can feel the excruciating pain of abortion.
U.S. Senators John Boozman and Tom Cotton from Arkansas are co-sponsoring that measure.
In the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Christopher Smith (R – NJ -4) filed a measure generally prohibiting most abortions after 15 weeks pregnancy as well.
Arkansas congressmen French Hill, Rick Crawford, and Bruce Westerman are co-sponsoring that measure.
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has reversed Roe v. Wade, state legislatures and congress are free to make abortion policy.
In Arkansas, abortion generally is prohibited except to save the life of the mother — which means thousands of women and unborn children will be protected from abortion in the years to come. That’s something to celebrate.

Recently the University of Washington published research into whether hormones and puberty blockers improve the mental health of kids with gender dysphoria. According to the PR team for the university, pretty much every media outlet that covered the study, and the study’s authors themselves, the answer was yes.
Except it wasn’t. The numbers actually revealed no difference between kids’ mental health before taking hormones and after a year of the treatment. At both moments in time, kids were suffering from dramatic mental health problems. If anything, the study suggested that kids who did not start taking the medications got a little worse.
The university refused to officially respond when an independent journalist challenged their conclusions—though the study’s authors admitted their findings had been misrepresented. Internal emails showed the university’s communications team wasn’t concerned the story was not accurate. They liked that it was popular.
Among the casualties of the politicizing of scientific research is public trust in our institutions. Still, the most vulnerable casualties are the kids.
