Berenson’s 2026-02-18 dispatch isn’t just a rehash of old warnings—it’s a timed attempt to reframe the cannabis debate as the mainstream media begins speaking the language he’s pushed for years: addiction, dependence, and harm.
He’s positioning himself as the early signal that got ignored, and he’s doing it at a moment when the public mood is unusually susceptible to emotionally compelling “I told you so” narratives—and unusually volatile toward institutions that previously dismissed them.
