Maryland: Maryland’s hemp industry is taking on the state’s cannabis regulators in federal court, arguing that current licensing practices may run afoul of U.S. law. They are claiming the state’s laws illegally restrict federally permissible hemp products.
Massachusetts: The Massachusetts House of Representatives recently passed a comprehensive cannabis bill, aiming to adapt the state’s regulatory framework to the evolving industry, a development that could have wide-ranging effects on businesses and consumers alike. One of the key provisions in the bill, as reported by Boston 25 News, would increase the number of stores that cannabis companies can own, expanding the limit from three to six over a three-year period.
Minnesota: 249 winners selected in Minnesota’s cannabis business license lottery. More licenses will be awarded in a second drawing on July 22.
Ohio: Already the House Judiciary Committee has taken steps to soften the restrictive bill, SB 56, in response to public pushback. The group’s testimony also noted that SB 56 in its current form still eliminates elements of legalization that voters themselves approved, such as support for social equity and jobs programs.
Pennsylvania: The governor of Pennsylvania says he remains “hopeful” that lawmakers can deliver a marijuana legalization bill to his desk by a budget deadline at the end of this month—and he’s urging the GOP-controlled Senate to “put their ideas on the table” after the defeat of a House-passed cannabis reform measure in that chamber.
