South Dakota Governor Won’t Rule Out Vetoing Marijuana Legalization Bill That Passed The Senate – Marijuana Moment
The Maryland House of Delegates on Friday passed bills to put marijuana legalization on the state’s 2022 ballot and set initial rules if voters approve the reform in November. The chamber had debated the proposals, rejected several GOP-led amendments and advanced them to third reading on Wednesday. Now lawmakers have given final passage to the referendum and implementation measures—in votes of 96-34 and 92-37, respectfully—sending them to the Senate. “We are at the beginning of an important process where we begin to look again at how we have treated this substance, cannabis,” Del. Luke Clippinger (D), sponsor of both bills,…

New Jersey Governor Says Adult-Use Marijuana Sales Will Start ‘Within Weeks’ – Marijuana Moment
Colorado officials have approved the language of two more psychedelics reform initiatives from the same campaign that already passed that procedural step for two separate measures it submitted late last year, activists say. Now it’s decision time. While the four proposals share commonalities—principally, ending criminalization of people over the use of certain entheogenic substances and providing some avenue for access—activists have to decide which stands the best chance of being approved by voters in November and would best serve the needs of Coloradans. On Thursday, the secretary of state’s office signed off on the two latest measures—about a week after…

In an example of providing supply where there’s plenty of demand, an enterprising Girl Scout in Arizona (accompanied by her mom) recently decided to sell cookies outside of a Tempe dispensary.

“Urban decay” in America speaks a universal language, a vernacular seen and heard in movies, political ads and in real life. It sounds like this: Broken windows, vacant buildings, graffiti-covered walls and doors. Ne’er do-wells loitering outside liquor stores and pornography merchants (less visible in the online era but still a part of this classic trope). But thanks to cannabis legalization, struggling areas in America have another feature: legal cannabis dispensaries. The higher concentration of dispensaries in America’s lower income areas may be due to the destructive practice of “redlining.” According to recent research out of Washington state and published in the journal Drug and Alcohol…

The bill passed by a single vote in the Republican-controlled Senate, showing just how divided lawmakers are on pot legalization. The proposal will next head to the House, where Republicans have pushed tighter restrictions on medical marijuana. They have been prodded by voters, who approved by 54% a 2020 constitutional amendment, known as Amendment A, to legalize recreational pot, medical marijuana and hemp. However, Republican Gov….
