North Dakota:
Medical Marijuana Limits To Increase
March 13, 2023
.​

"Medical marijuana dispensaries in North Dakota now can sell up to 6,000 milligrams of THC to patients every 30 days.

The change stems from the state House of Representatives’ approval last week of an increase from 4,000 milligrams every 30 days.

Republican Rep. Brandon Pritchard said the increase was needed because some patients require higher doses of THC to treat conditions such as pain.

Efforts to pass recreational cannabis sales in North Dakota haven’t fared as well as upgrades to the state’s MMJ program.

Voters in the state rejected an adult-use legalization proposal in November."

Antiquated Marijuana Policies Are Exacerbating Supply Chain Issues
March 17, 2023
.​

"Tens of thousands of commercial truckers are leaving their jobs, resulting in higher prices and barren shelves. What’s motivating this mass exodus? Look no further than the federal government’s outdated policies toward marijuana.

Despite the reality that state governments have legalized cannabis use under certain circumstances for the majority of Americans, the federal government still classifies it in the same legal category (Schedule I) as heroin. As a result, commercially licensed truckers are strictly forbidden from consuming cannabis products during their off hours — even if they reside in a state where such use is legal."

Michigan:
1st Black-Owned, "Legacy" Marijuana Retailer Opens
March 20, 2023

"The first Black-owned marijuana retailer with a social equity retail license opened Saturday in Detroit, four years after the Michigan city approved recreational cannabis sales.

Nuggets Dispensary is the city’s first adult-use store owned by a “Detroit legacy applicant,” meaning it’s owned by a longtime resident, the Detroit News reported.

Low-income Detroit residents, people with previous marijuana-related convictions or those whose parents had MJ convictions before 2018 can also qualify for the license."

D. C. :
Legislation Expanding Medical Cannabis Access Enacted Into Law
March 23, 2023
.​

"The new law increases the number of licensed dispensaries that can operate in the District, enacts tax relief for operators, codifies the ability for individuals to “self-certify” that they have a need for medical marijuana, and creates new cannabis business categories, such as on-site tasting / consumption lounges, among other changes.

It also provides opportunities for unregulated operators to apply for licensure and provides law enforcement and regulators with expanded powers to crack down on unlicensed establishments that fail to do so."
