"A Texass appellate court has halted the implementation of San Marcos’ (population: 72,000) voter-initiated ordinance depenalizingmarijuana possession. . Eighty-one percent of city votersapproved the ordinance in 2022. It prohibits local police officers in most instances from either arresting or citing people for Class A or Class B marijuana misdemeanors. . Voters in several otherTexass cities, including Austin and Dallas, have approved similar ordinances. . In February 2024, Republican Attorney General Ken Paxtonfiled suit against San Marcos and four other cities that had adopted voter-approved depenalization laws, opining, “I will not stand idly by as cities run by pro-crime extremists deliberately violate Texass law and promote the use of illicit drugs that harm our communities.” He filed a similar suit against the city of Dallas in December."

"House-backed legislation depenalizing adult-use marijuana possession and expandingpatients’ access to medical cannabis has stalled in the state’s Republican-led Senate. . Senators voted largely along party lines to table two bills: House Bill 75, which seeks to legalize the possession of marijuana by those age 21 and older and House Bill 53, which seeks to permit state-registered patients to home-cultivate limited quantities of cannabis. Members voted 15 to 9 to table HB 75 and 16 to 8 to table HB 53. Both bills had previously passed the House on voice votes. . Senate Republicans currently outnumber Senate Democrats by a margin of two to one. Newly elected Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte is also opposed to liberalizing the state’s marijuana laws. . Statewide polling consistently finds that a super-majority of New Hampshire residents“support the legalization of marijuana for recreational use.”
"Democrat Gov. Wes Moore has signed legislation (SB 432) into law requiring state officials to automatically shield from public view the records associated with past, low-levelmarijuana convictions. . The law stipulates that the Maryland Judiciary Case Search database may no longer “in any way refer to the existence of records of a charge of possession of cannabis in a case with electronic records if the charge resulted in a conviction that was later pardoned by the Governor.” It also expands the range of offenses eligible for expungement relief once a person has completed their sentence. . Last year, Democratic Gov. Wes Moore signed an executive order pardoning over 175,000 Maryland residents with misdemeanormarijuana-related convictions. Pardons, which may be issued by the executive branch, forgive past crimes, but they do not shield records of those crimes from public view or expunge them. . Maryland legalized the adult use cannabis market in 2023."
"Republican Gov. Kelly Armstrong has signed legislation into law regulating the manufacturing and dispensing of cannabis-infused edible products to state-qualified patients. . House Bill 1203 legalizes patients’ access to “cannabinoid edible products.” The law defines these products as “soft or hard lozenges in a geometric square shape into which a cannabinoid concentrate or the dried leaves or flowers of the plant of the genus cannabis is incorporated.” It limits the THC content in edible products to no more than 5 milligrams per serving and 50 milligrams per package. . Approximately 10,000North Dakotans are registered in the state’s medical cannabis access program, which voters approved in 2016."
"Nearly eight-in-ten consumers say that smoking is their preferred method of cannabis ingestion, according to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. . Researchers reviewed marijuana use data provided by more than 138,000 respondents."
"Cannabis has a “well-established role in managing symptoms related to cancer” and there is a “substantial scientific basis” for re-evaluating its classification as a Schedule I controlled substance, according to the findings of a meta-analysis of over 10,000 scientific papers published in the journal Frontiers in Oncology."
"Republican Gov. "Big" Sarah Sanders vetoed legislation that sought to provide greater ease of access for patientsauthorized to use medical cannabis. . House Bill 1889 “authorized deliveries [of medical cannabis products] by dispensaries via delivery vehicles and via a drive-through window located at the dispensary.” Only patients who had previously submitted online orders that same day would have been permitted to use the drive-through option. . In her veto message, Gov. Sanders said that passage of the bill would have “expanded access to usable marijuana, therefore I am vetoing this legislation.”
"Changes in the legal status of cannabis in U.S. states and Canada are not associated with significant changes to traffic safety, according to an analysis published in the peer-reviewed journal Variance. . A researcher affiliated with the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science assessed the impact of adult-use marijuana legalization on car accident fatality rates, insurance claim frequency, and average costs per insurance claim. . The study’s author did not identify any “statistically significant impacts of legalization” on any of the assessed outcomes during the study period. Rather, the author concluded that other factors, such as inclement weather and seasonal spikes in travel, are far more likely to influence trends in traffic safety."
