Holiday reminder from all of us at Green Bridge: we want you safe.
Alcohol is the one thing society celebrates, even though it’s tied to so many of the worst outcomes we see this time of year—blackouts, injuries, fights, DUIs, and life-changing regret.

We’re not here to lecture. Just this: if you’re going to celebrate, choose the kind of night you can wake up tomorrow and remember. Make a plan, look out for your friends, and please don’t drive impaired.

We've been fielding a few calls regarding the Curaleaf Bradford PA closing, but medical patients in the area don’t have to lose access.

A lot of people can't make the 1.5-hour drive to Erie to the next closest medical dispensary.
The good news? Pennsylvania’s caregiver program is one of the most underutilized resources in the entire state.

Under PA’s medical cannabis law, caregivers can serve an unlimited number of patients.
That means:
👉 Caregivers can legally:
Pick up your medicine at any dispensary (including Erie)
Deliver it directly to you
Help you maintain access without the long drive
Support older adults, disabled patients, and anyone with transportation challenges

✔ If you’re a Bradford-area patient

Adding a caregiver to your profile can keep your access stable even after the local dispensary closes.

✔ If you’re a caregiver

You can step up and help as many patients as you’re willing to take on — there’s no cap in PA.

This is a simple, legal, and patient-centered solution built into the program from day one.
No gimmicks. No loopholes. Just the system doing what it’s supposed to do: keeping patients connected to their medicine.

Always watch who you’re dealing with. This outfit and doctor have nothing to do with Green Bridge Society. Just another scam. Beware.

Despite the mishap at last night’s parade, we had a great time! Bex was in her glory giving out candy.
We want to acknowledge Lindsay and her team from Maitri Medicinals springing to action to help the victim of the incident. They are truly an incredible asset in the community and the industry. 🙏✌️

Breaking the Stigma:
Why Cannabis Patients Still Struggle in 2025
Each month, we share the latest research, emerging science, and promising breakthroughs in the world of medical cannabis. The data is stronger than ever. Study after study confirms what patients have known for decades: cannabis is a legitimate, effective, and often life-changing tool for managing chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, seizures, inflammation, nausea, and countless other conditions.

And yet, every time we celebrate a new discovery or highlight a patient success story, we’re reminded of a painful truth: stigma still has a stranglehold on this medicine — and it continues to shape lives, laws, and public policy in ways that are deeply unjust.

The War on Drugs Isn’t Over — It’s Just Wearing a New Mask

Despite legalization in most U.S. states for either medical or adult use, federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I substance — the same category as he**in. That outdated classification drives a cascade of consequences.

Patients who legally use cannabis under state law are still charged with DUI even when they’re not impaired. Because THC can remain in the bloodstream long after its effects wear off, individuals can be penalized for having trace amounts in their system — even if they consumed days earlier. This is not about public safety; it’s about outdated science and outdated thinking.

The stigma extends beyond the courtroom. Many patients hesitate to purchase fi****ms or apply for concealed carry permits out of fear of federal prosecution. Others face devastating child custody battles simply because they are medical cannabis patients. In too many cases, judges, employers, and social workers still treat cannabis use as a sign of irresponsibility — even when that use is lawful, doctor-approved, and medically necessary.

Legal in the States, Illegal in the Nation

The contradiction at the heart of cannabis policy is glaring. States have repeatedly voted to legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis. Voters have made their voices clear: they want safe, legal access. Yet federal law lags years — even decades — behind.

It shouldn’t take generations to make a decision that’s both scientifically obvious and morally necessary. Patients deserve clear, consistent laws. Businesses deserve a fair and functional regulatory framework. And society deserves policies based on facts, not fear.

It’s either legal or it isn’t. This halfway status — where states say yes but federal law says no — is untenable. It places patients in legal limbo and undermines the very systems meant to protect them.

The Double Standard We Don’t Talk About

The contradiction becomes even more striking when we look at how society treats other substances. Alcohol — a drug responsible for tens of thousands of deaths every year and countless acts of violence and abuse — is proudly displayed in supermarkets, convenience stores, and gas stations. Its dangers are well documented, yet it’s celebrated in advertising and normalized in culture.

Cannabis, meanwhile, is still treated with suspicion. Something that heals is criminalized, while something that harms is glorified. That hypocrisy isn’t just frustrating — it’s dangerous. It perpetuates misinformation, deters patients from seeking safe alternatives, and fuels a cycle of stigma that harms public health.

Why We Keep Fighting

At Green Bridge Society, we’ve felt the weight of this stigma firsthand. We’ve been targeted, dismissed, and misrepresented simply because of the work we do and the plant we support. And yet, our mission remains the same: to educate, to advocate, and to make access to cannabis as simple, safe, and stigma-free as possible.

This fight is bigger than us — and bigger than the industry. It’s about every patient who uses cannabis to regain quality of life. It’s about every veteran who finds peace after trauma. It’s about every parent who can finally watch their child thrive after years of failed pharmaceutical treatments.

The science is clear. The stories are powerful. It’s time for lawmakers and regulators to catch up — to end the outdated policies, dismantle the barriers, and finally treat cannabis like the medicine it is. Like the medicine it was.
