Americans Against Legalizing Marijuana Celebrates a
Legal Milestone as the American Association for
Justice Launches Cannabis Injury Litigation Group
Washington, D.C. – Americans Against Legalizing
Marijuana (AALM) is happy to announce a major
milestone in the fight for justice and accountability in
the cannabis industry. The American Association for
Justice (AAJ)—the nation's largest association of trial
lawyers—has officially launched the Cannabis Injury
Litigation Group, a nationwide coalition of attorneys
committed to representing victims of marijuana-
related harm.
This historic moment is one that AALM and its
advocacy arm, Cannabis Industry Victims Educating
Litigators (CIVEL), have worked toward for years.
Formed in 2018, CIVEL (www.civel.org) was founded
with a bold mission: to educate and empower
attorneys to hold the marijuana industry accountable
for the widespread and growing damage it has
caused to individuals, families, and communities
across America.
Since its inception, CIVEL has authored legal articles,

New_Mexico_Territory
The Territory of New Mexico
was an organized
incorporated territory of the
United States from
September 9, 1850 until
January 6, 1912. It was
created from the U.S.
provisional government of
New Mexico, as a result of
Nuevo México becoming part
of the American frontier after
the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo. It existed with
varying boundaries until the
territory was admitted to the
Union as the U.S. state of
New Mexico. This jurisdiction
was an organized,
incorporated territory of the
US for nearly 62 years, the
longest period of any territory
in the contiguous United
States.

Seals, Coat of Arms
On the Seal:
Territorial symbols
Illustrated coat of arms of the
New Mexico Territory,
published in State Arms of
the Union in 1876
A coat of arms of New Mexico
was adopted by the territorial
legislature in 1887,
formalizing an earlier design,
introduced in the early 1860s,
already used in the territory's
great seal. The legislation,
titled "An Act adopting and
establishing the coat of arms
and great seal of the
territory", was approved by
Governor Edmund G. Ross on
February
The coat of arms of the
territory of New Mexico shall
be the Mexican Eagle
grasping a serpent in its
beak, the cactus in its talons,
shielded by the American
eagle with outspread wings,
and grasping arrows in its
talons. The date MDCCCL
[1850], under the eagles, and
above that, on a scroll, the
motto: Crescit Eundo. That
the great seal of the territory
have the coat of arms
thereon, being the same seal
now used by the secretary of
the territory, and that the
same be adopted and
established as the official
seal and coat of arms of the
territory of New Mexico.
The "American" bald eagle's
outstretched wings over the
smaller "Mexican" harpy
eagle represents the
territory's change of
sovereignty. The territorial
motto, Crescit eundo (Latin
for 'It grows as it goes'), was
later added to the seal. The
same design was later
adapted for use in the seal of
the new state of New Mexico
in 1913.

hosted educational webinars, participated in litigation, and distributed legal
guides to support the cause. AALM and CIVEL dreamed that the legal profession
would one day rise to the occasion and take meaningful action against the
cannabis industry.
That dream has now come true.
The newly-formed Cannabis Injury Litigation Group by AAJ brings together
lawyers nationwide who are litigating—or seeking to litigate—cases involving
injuries from high-potency cannabis products and youth-targeted marketing
strategies. According to the AAJ:
"As states liberalize marijuana laws, the cannabis industry has expanded rapidly in
a race to dominate market share before the implementation of meaningful
regulations. The industry is selling potent cannabis products, with THC levels
ranging up to 100%, while also marketing these dangerous products with bright
packaging, flavors, and names intended to be attractive to young adults. With the
increase in potency and youth-oriented marketing, there is a new epidemic of
cannabis-related injuries, including cannabis-induced psychosis, a severe and
potentially devastating lifelong injury."
"As this area of law is developing rapidly, the Cannabis Injury Litigation Group
brings together attorneys who are litigating or interested in learning more about
litigating against cannabis manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and related
parties for injuries arising out of defective and youth-oriented cannabis products.
The Litigation Group shares materials and updates on developments,
proceedings, and laws across the country, including scientific research, court
orders, and non-privileged publicly available resources, as well as best practices
to aid the coordination of attorneys bringing claims against cannabis-industry
defendants."
This group represents a new chapter in legal advocacy, and AALM is honored to
have been a spearhead organization and to have a part in helping the legal
profession to seek justice for the many victims of the marijuana industry.
We urge attorneys, public health professionals, and victims to visit www.civel.org
and the AAJ at https://www.justice.org/member-groups/litigation-
groups/cannabis-injury-litigation-group to learn more, connect with resources,
and join the movement for justice. Together, we are turning awareness into
action.

Panel: The Weaponization of Immigration

Video and Transcript Now Available
The Center for Immigration Studies hosted a panel discussion examining how
immigration is used as a political, economic, and strategic tool by governments,
non-state, and sub-state actors worldwide. Whether through mass migration
crises, policy-driven border surges, or the manipulation of refugee flows,
immigration has become a powerful geopolitical weapon and a means of waging
hybrid warfare.

from tariffs on foreign vehicles and automobile parts2.
