The ban was first…

A Rhode Island Senate committee on Tuesday held the first hearing on a much-anticipated bill to legalize marijuana in the state. But while activists are eager to end cannabis criminalization, the measure faced pushback over a key provision concerning the proposed process for expunging prior convictions. The bill from Sen. Joshua Miller (D), which was unveiled earlier this month, was heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee. A companion House version from Rep. Scott Slater (D) has not yet been scheduled for a committee hearing. This development also comes two months after Gov. Dan McKee (D) included a proposal to end cannabis…

But the state’s license process could leave recreational production to the four current medical producers, at least early on, resulting in demand outstripping supply and high prices that could last for years, according to one industry observer. Jay Czarkowski, a licensing expert and founding partner of Canna Advisors, has been involved with the cannabis industry since opening a Colorado retail location in 2009 and operating his own grow operations.

Oklahoma Lawmakers Approve Psilocybin Decriminalization And Research Bill In Committee – Marijuana Moment
Oklahoma lawmakers on Wednesday approved a bill in committee to decriminalize low-level possession of psilocybin and promote research into the therapeutic potential of the psychedelic.
