PHOENIX (AP) — More marijuana sales mean more funding for community colleges throughout Arizona.

Colleges can use the funds for workforce development, STEM and certain other education programs, the Arizona…

The pandemic arrived “like the snow at the end of ‘The Dead,’” Bloom said, referring to James Joyce’s classic story — a few flakes at first, then blanketing everything. Bloom’s daughter, daughter-in-law and granddaughter came from Brooklyn to ride out the storm. Bloom kept writing in the afternoons. She laughed. “My kids tease me, they say, ‘You expected to be sitting by the pond, in gray gauze, staring into the distance.’” Instead she was absorbed by work and the rhythms of family life. By September 2020, Bloom had a draft to share with her longtime editor, Kate Medina, the executive…

But if you read our cover story this issue, you’ll see that out-of-states companies (in addition to Connecticut-based players) will be rushing to enter Connecticut’s recreational cannabis industry. Many companies, from large national players like Massachusetts-based Curaleaf and Green Thumb Industries in Chicago, to small purveyors like Bay State-based Green Meadows, are working on business plans…

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington lawmakers are making a last-ditch attempt to block intoxicating, synthetically derived cannabis products, including gummy candies and vape oil, from being sold at gas stations, convenience stores and smoke shops after earlier bills failed. “These are being sold right now, without any regulation, without any oversight,” said Democratic Sen. Karen Keiser. “It’s a public health danger and a threat, and it needs to be removed.” With about two weeks left in the legislative session, Keiser and Republican Mark Schoesler introduced a measure Friday to ban the products both within Washington’s legal marijuana industry and outside it….
