Thousands of California Cultivators Call it Quits Amid Wider SlowdownGreenMarketReport.com - While several segments have contracted, cultivators have taken the largest hit. While it’s no secret that California cannabis companies have been struggling for years, it wasn’t until this year that the legal marijuana market actually began to shrink noticeably. Now it’s down by almost 29%, according to permit statistics from the state’s Department of Cannabis Control. As of Oct. 24, the number of active business licenses in the state had dropped to 9,900, a decline of 28.5% since July 2022, when there were 12,719 active provisional and annual cannabis business licenses, the DCC reported.

The legislation, known as the States Reform Act, was reintroduced by South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace, according to a report from online cannabis news source Marijuana Moment. Mace first introduced the States Reform Act in 2021 with support from four Republican co-sponsors. The new version of the legislation has bipartisan support, with original sponsor and California Republican Tom McClintock, Republican Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida, and Democrats Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota and Maryland Representative David Trone signed on as co-sponsors.

Cannabis Sales BanMarijuanaMoment.net - A key House committee will soon consider newly filed amendments to a large-scale spending bill that would prevent drug testing of certain federal job applicants for marijuana and end the blockade that has kept Washington, D.C. from legalizing cannabis sales. Democratic lawmakers recently filed the amendments to Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations legislation covering Financial Services and General Government (FSGG). They will be taken up by the GOP-controlled House Rules Committee, which has rejected numerous drug policy reform measures from floor consideration as part of spending bills in recent months while allowing a small handful of others to advance.

Bill to allow Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes in California goes up in smoke with Newsom vetoLATimes.com - Cannabis dispensaries in California won’t be able to convert their businesses into cafes where they can sell food and host live concerts anytime soon. Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill Sunday that would have legalized Amsterdam-style cafes in the state and provided the cannabis industry an opportunity to host customers in a more inviting lounge setting. Although it’s technically not illegal for customers to consume cannabis at a dispensary, it is illegal for a dispensary to sell non-cannabis products such as coffee or food. Assembly Bill 374, referred to as the Cannabis Cafe Bill, wouldn’t have cleared the way for dispensaries to serve alcohol, but it would have allowed them to move away from a pharmacy-like business model. Read more » Cannabis industry applauds governor’s veto of bill banning cannabis labels deemed ‘attractive to childrenNorthBayBusinessJournal.com - The California cannabis industry breathed a sigh of relief upon Gov. Gavin Newsom splitting the difference on two competing bills among the flurry of more than 900 that have recently hit his desk. Newsom on Sunday vetoed the controversial Assembly Bill 1207, known as the Cannabis Candy Child Safety Act, which bans the sale, distribution or manufacturing of cannabis products with packaging and labeling deemed “attractive to children.” The bill would have defined the appeal as promotional material displaying fictional humans, animals, fruits and vegetables. Read more » Is cannabis today really much more potent than 50 years ago?NewScientist.com - Weed isn’t like it used to be. The psychoactive potency of cannabis is on the rise, which means that so too are the risks of potentially harmful side effects. With a growing acceptance of the drug around the world, as well as legalisation in many countries and US states, regulators are asking one question with increasing urgency: just how much stronger is today’s cannabis? There is no way to comprehensively assess all types of cannabis currently available either legally or illegally around the world. But the data we have suggest that today’s drug is much stronger than the weed of even a few years ago, let alone several decades prior. In the US, some of the most extensive research on cannabis strength comes from the Potency Monitoring Program, a project led by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and carried out at the University of Mississippi. The data shows a clear trend: over the last 50 years, the average amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis – the plant’s main psychoactive component – has increased more than tenfold.

Gavin Newsom has been presented with a bill to allow Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes across California, a bid to help invigorate an industry that has suffered from intense market saturation and a post-pandemic drop in customers. But while San Francisco cannabis dispensaries would regard this change as positive, many proprietors said it would do little to address their biggest problem: There are simply too many shops chasing too few customers, particularly as the city’s tourism industry has taken a hit. “Our revenue has dropped 43 percent in the last 18 months,” said Al Shawa, who owns Mission Cannabis Club on Mission Street near 21st Street, a mainstay in the neighborhood since 2010. Read more » Senate Committee Passes Cannabis Banking BillForbes.com - After a long and arduous wait, it looks like the SAFER Banking Act, the renamed version of the bipartisan law that would allow banks to work with cannabis businesses without penalties, is finally showing some traction after languishing in Congress. Today, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs held a “markup” on the legislation and as expected, the bill passed decisively. Although members of the House did overwhelmingly vote for the SAFE Banking Act, the bill’s earlier version, several times before, today’s vote marks the first time that Senate members have voted in favor of the measure. Now it’s off to the Senate and the House for more debate, amendment and votes before hopefully proceeding to President Biden’s desk. If all goes well, the banking ban that has been the scourge of the legal cannabis industry since its inception will be lifted. Read more » Critics Call Mysterious Bay Area Pot Proposal ‘Evil Genius’SFGate.com - A cannabis tax proposal is rocking the quaint Bay Area town of Sausalito, with controversy swirling around a proposed 4% tax on all marijuana sales. The city council doesn’t seem to want the new tax, the residents say it’s a bad idea, and the local pot companies say it would destroy their livelihoods. And in a surprising turn, an executive at a cannabis company from a bordering county appears to have been involved in organizing the tax proposal. The whole thing has observers questioning who exactly wants the tax measure passed and, even more bafflingly, why a pot company seems to be trying to increase cannabis taxes. “Part of me feels like there’s some underlying tactic here that maybe we just don’t see,” said Nurit Raphael, the owner of the ONA.life, a cannabis delivery service that serves Sausalito and would be affected by the proposed tax. “There’s something bizarre happening, but no one can put their finger on it. It’s wild, totally wild.” Read more » Wisconsin Lawmakers Introduce Marijuana Legalization BillForbes.com - A pair of Democratic lawmakers in Wisconsin last week introduced legislation to legalize recreational marijuana for adults and establish a framework for regulated cannabis sales. If passed, Wisconsin would join the nearly two dozen states that have ended the criminal prohibition of marijuana.
The bill was unveiled in a Wisconsin hemp farm on Friday by Sen. Melissa Agard, the state Senate Democratic Leader, and Rep. Darrin B. Madison. If successful, the measure would legalize cannabis use and the possession of up to five ounces of marijuana by adults aged 21 and older. “I’ve said this time and time again – we know that the most dangerous thing about cannabis in Wisconsin is that it remains illegal,” Agard said in a joint statement from the lawmakers. “For the past decade, I have worked to undo Wisconsin’s antiquated and deeply unjust marijuana policies and put our state on a prosperous path forward.” Read more » Dear Valued Member, Fall is just around the corner, the school year has begun, and Labor Day Weekend is almost here - we're bringing you all the Specials, Price Drops, and New Products you could ever need all month long.

U.S. Health Officials Recommend Schedule III for CannabisMGMagazine.com - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has recommended reclassifying cannabis from Schedule I to a less restrictive Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act, following President Biden’s request last year for the Department of Justice (DOJ) and HHS to “expeditiously” reconsider the plant’s classification. In a letter dated Aug. 29, HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine submitted the department’s rescheduling recommendation to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator Anne Milgram, according to Bloomberg News. A DEA spokesperson confirmed the department received the letter and will initiate a review. After the review is complete, the nation’s top drug enforcement agency will forward its recommendation to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland for action. Read more » Cannabis use disorder is common in one state where marijuana is legalCNN.com - Developing cannabis use disorder is relatively common in Washington state, one of the first states to fully legalize cannabis, and can even occur in people who only use medical marijuana, according to a new study. “There’s a perception that people who are using marijuana for medical reasons have a lower risk of a cannabis use disorder,” said lead author Gwen Lapham, assistant professor at Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine in Seattle. To have cannabis use disorder, or CUD, a person must have two or more of such symptoms as craving weed, becoming tolerant, using more than intended, using marijuana even though it causes problems in life, using it in high-risk situations, experiencing withdrawal and being unable to quit, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Read more » Study finds high blood and urinary metal levels among exclusive marijuana usersMedicalXpress.com - Research conducted at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health detected significant levels of metals in the blood and urine among marijuana users, concluding that marijuana may be an important and under-recognized source of lead and cadmium exposure. This is among the first studies to report biomarker metal levels among marijuana users and most likely the largest study to date, that links self-reported marijuana use to internal measures of metal exposure, rather than just looking at metal levels in the cannabis plant. The results are published online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, Measurements reported by participants for exclusive marijuana use compared to non-marijuana tobacco had significantly higher lead levels in blood (1.27 ug/dL) and urine (1.21 ug/g creatinine). Read more » States That Legalized Medical Marijuana Saw Nearly 20 Percent Drop In Foster Care Cases For Parental Drug Misuse, Study FindsMarijuanaMoment.net - States that legalized medical marijuana saw a nearly 20 percent drop in the number of children entering foster care due to parental drug misuse after three years of the reform, a new study found. Legalizing for adult use, meanwhile, was not associated with any statistically significant change in foster care entries. Researchers at Georgia College and State University set out to learn whether legalization would “lessen stigma, permit proper use, and reduce the chance that a child will be removed” or, conversely, if foster care cases would increase due to expanded access to legal cannabis. The study looked at national data involving 3.4 million foster care cases from 2007 to 2019. Using difference-in-differences analyses, researchers examined rate changes in foster case placements related to drug misuse, comparing states that enacted legalization to those that maintained prohibition. They controlled for factors such as state unemployment rate and per capita income. Read more » The Evidence—and Lack Thereof—About CannabisPublicHealth.JHU.edu - Although the use and possession of cannabis is illegal under federal law, medicinal and recreational cannabis use has become increasingly widespread. Thirty-eight states and Washington, D.C., have legalized medical cannabis, while 23 states and D.C. have legalized recreational use. Cannabis legalization has benefits, such as removing the product from the illegal market so it can be taxed and regulated, but science is still trying to catch up as social norms evolve and different products become available. In this Q&A, adapted from the August 25 episode of Public Health On Call, Lindsay Smith Rogers talks with Johannes Thrul, PhD, MS, associate professor of Mental Health, about cannabis as medicine, potential risks involved with its use, and what research is showing about its safety and efficacy.
