Marijuana U.S.A.

"For the first time in its history, the Justice Department is calling for a change in the federal legal status of cannabis — which is currently classified as one of America’s most dangerous drugs.
.
The Attorney General’s office recently confirmed that it’s circulating a proposal to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the federal Controlled Substances Act. The move, which affirms a prior recommendation by the Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA, marks an about-face for bureaucracies that have traditionally maintained a “flat earth” perspective for all things cannabis."

Delaware:
Governor Signs Medical Cannabis Expansion Bill Into Law
May 29, 2024
.​
"Democratic Gov. John Carney has signed legislation (HB 285) into law expanding medical cannabis access to seniors and others.

The new law, which took effect upon passage, provides discretion to physicians to issue medical cannabis recommendations to any patient who may benefit from it — regardless of whether or not they suffer from a state-specific qualifying condition. It also allows those ages 65 or older to self-certify for a registration card absent a doctor’s recommendation.

The law also permits state-registered patients from other states to access Delaware dispensaries.

Last year, lawmakers approved legislation legalizing adult-use marijuana possession and retail sales. However, state-licensed retailers are not expected to be operational under the law until the spring of 2025."

"Lifetime cannabis use is associated with lower rates of prostate cancer, according to observational data published in the journal Biomedicines.

Researchers affiliated with the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa, Florida assessed the relationship between cannabis consumption and prostate cancer in a nationally representative cohort of 2,503 participants.

Investigators reported that subjects between the ages of 50 and 64 who identified as either current or former cannabis consumers possessed a significantly lower risk of prostate cancer diagnoses. Scientists suggested that this finding provides “biological support for the anti-cancer effects of the constituents of marijuana.” Numerous preclinical trials have documented the ability of cannabinoids to inhibit cancer cell growth."

"As expected, members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives rejected a plan approved by the governor and state Senate to legalize adult-use marijuana sales via a state-run retail model.

Thursday’s thumbs-down to Gov. Chris Sununu’s legalization vision by the libertarian-leaning state House means New Hampshire remains the lone holdout in New England without state-regulated adult-use cannabis."

"The Secretary of State’s Office has confirmed that supporters of a proposed statewide ballot initiative, legalizing the possession, use, and cultivation of marijuana, turned in the requisite number of signatures to qualify it for the November ballot. The initiative will appear on the ballot as Measure 29.

November’s vote will mark the third time since 2020 that South Dakotans have weighed in on the issue."

"State lawmakers have advanced a pair of bills to the Governor’s desk amending the state’s marijuana laws.

House Bill 165 amends state law so that the possession of marijuana-related paraphernalia is reclassified to a non-criminal fine-only offense. If enacted, first-time offenders will face a maximum penalty of a $100 fine. Under current law, the possession of marijuana-related paraphernalia is punishable by up to 15 days in jail and a $300 fine."

"City officials in Frederick County, Maryland (population: 287,000) have removed pre-employment drug screening requirements for most public employees.

Under the updated plan, only those seeking jobs in certain “safety-sensitive” positions, such as law enforcement, are required to undergo pre-employment testing for cannabis and other controlled substances. The county employs approximately 3,400 people."

"Regulators on Friday will have applications available for those retailers who wish to engage in the licensed sales of cannabis products to adults. Lawmakers, last month, gave final approval to allow for the expedited sale of adult-use cannabis products by existing medical cannabis dispensaries.

Some retailers, with dual licensure, are anticipated to begin engaging in adult-use sales before the end of the month. However, most businesses will likely require additional time before they open their doors to the adult-use market.

Dispensaries with dual licensure will need to ensure that they have adequate inventory to serve both medical patients and adults, consistently."

"Older adults who reside within a 30-minute drive of a licensed medical cannabis dispensary report experiencing fewer days of poor mental health, according to data published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Researchers affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh and with John Hopkins University in Baltimore assessed whether proximity to medical cannabis dispensaries was associated with self-reported changes in adult’s mental health."

"A Native American tribe in North Carolina that began medical marijuana sales less than two months ago now is preparing to launch an adult-use market.

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ Tribal Council voted Thursday to amend Tribal Code to allow the sale of recreational marijuana, the Smoky Mountain News reported."
