New York regulators have released a preview of proposed rules for home cultivation of marijuana by adults ahead of the plan’s formal consideration by the state Cannabis Control Board (CCB) at a meeting set for Wednesday. The proposal, which comes more than a year after adult-use retail marijuana sales began in New York, would allow adults to grow up to three mature and three immature cannabis plants, with no more than six mature plants and six immature plants per private residence, regardless of the number of adults who live there. Adults would be able to keep up to five pounds…

An Arizona House committee has approved a bill to protect $5 million in funding for psilocybin research from being redistributed amid a state budget deficit. As the state works to address a funding shortfall of hundreds of thousands of dollars, the House Military Affairs & Public Safety Committee passed a measure from the chairman, Rep. Kevin Payne (R), that would prevent the psychedelic research money from lapsing until at least July 2026. It advanced in a 11-3 vote. Payne was the sponsor of legislation that was enacted last year under an appropriations package signed by the governor that mandated research…

Is it just me, or does 2024 already feel better than 2023 did? Despite it being the slow season just about everywhere, things seem to be advancing at a rapid clip. The general sentiment seems to be positive for the first time I can remember in recent memory. It may be silver and gray in Los Angeles right now, but the energy is high, and I have been, too! I also quit smoking. Not weed, obviously. That hasn’t been helping with the spirits – in fact I truly believe everyone who said quitting was the best thing they’ve ever done…

Three wholesalers and four retailers in Connecticut have been hit with lawsuits for allegedly selling illegal delta-8 and delta-9 cannabis products.

The Justice Department says it will be requesting that a federal court dismiss a cannabis industry lawsuit that seeks to block the enforcement of marijuana prohibition against state-legal activity. In a document filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Western Division on Monday, DOJ advised that Attorney General Merrick Garland will be filing a “motion to dismiss and supporting memorandum” on the court-imposed deadline set for Tuesday. In the overarching lawsuit, plaintiffs claim that perpetuating prohibition in state markets is unconstitutional, creating undue public safety risks while precluding licensed marijuana businesses from accessing critical financial services and…

The legal question over the constitutionality of a federal gun ban for people who use marijuana is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, where justices are expected to decide whether they will hear an appeal of a circuit court ruling that found the restriction violates the Second Amendment. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) noted the pending action in a legal sidebar that was published this month, explaining how three relevant cases are under consideration in the nation’s highest court that could finally settle the issue. Briefs in one of those cases—United States vs. Daniels—were distributed for a Supreme Court conference…

Germany’s health minister says he remains confident that a bill to legalize marijuana will pass the national parliament next month and get implemented this spring, despite reports that support is fragmenting among lawmakers. “I continue to assume that the cannabis law will be passed in the Bundestag in the week from February 19th to 23rd and can then apply from April 1st,” Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said, according to a translation. He added that increased THC potency in unregulated products necessitates the reform, stating the illicit market “must therefore be dried up.” “The controlled distribution of cannabis is the…

The groups Ground Game Texas and Texas Cannabis Collective are spearheading the reform efforts, aiming to build on a spate of local decriminalization victories in cities across the Lone Star State.
