Marijuana Moment was founded in 2017 by Tom Angell, a long-time cannabis reform advocate and journalist. Angell created the website to provide comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of marijuana policy and politics at a time when cannabis legalization was becoming an increasingly important issue across the United States. The idea behind Marijuana Moment was to offer a dedicated platform for tracking and analyzing cannabis-related legislation, policy changes, and industry developments. Today, the website continues to be owned and operated by Angell, who serves as its publisher and editor. Based in the United States, Marijuana Moment primarily focuses on cannabis policy news at the local, state, federal, and international levels. The website covers a wide range of topics including legislative updates, regulatory changes, scientific research, business developments, and social justice issues related to cannabis. While its main emphasis is on policy and politics, Marijuana Moment also reports on cultural trends, medical advancements, and economic impacts of the growing cannabis industry. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of Marijuana Moment is its innovative use of technology to track cannabis-related bills and legislation. The website employs a custom-built legislative tracking system that monitors hundreds of marijuana-related bills across all 50 U.S. states and Congress in real-time. This system allows Marijuana Moment to provide its readers with timely updates on the progress of cannabis legislation, often before mainstream news outlets report on these developments.
