Startup marijuana retailer Lady Jane wants to open ‘luxury destination’ in downtown Hartford – Hartford Business
As Hartford tries to breathe new life into its long-moribund downtown retail scene, Tiana Hercules is scoping out possible locations in the neighborhood for a new venture she’s trying to launch: Lady Jane, an adult-use cannabis dispensary. “I want it to be a luxury destination that not only carries top-of-the-line cannabis products, but really is a space to bring people together around education, cannabis and promoting conscious consumption,” Hercules said. Hercules, a criminal defense attorney at Hartford-based The Stills Law Firm, recently completed a startup accelerator program with Hartford nonprofit reSET, which works with local socially-conscious startups in its Parkville…

Last July, Connecticut turned over a new leaf when it legalized cannabis for adult recreational use. Legal to possess and smoke, but not quite yet to grow. The right to cultivate cannabis plants was granted only to licensed medical marijuana (MMJ) patients, and was delayed until October. The rest of the state’s residents will have to wait until 2023. Mark Mathew Braunstein Join in the work of CT Mirror You may not be on staff, but you can produce the journalism. Why the wait? And has anyone waited?

Will Philip Morris fulfill pledge to be ‘majority smoke-free’ in Connecticut? – The Advocate
STAMFORD — The upcoming arrival of Philip Morris International has revealed a conflict Gov. Ned Lamont and other officials have with the tobacco giant. Lamont and legislators who represent Stamford at the state Capitol and in Congress say they are non-smokers, but they are keen to tout the economic benefits of another Fortune 500 company moving to Connecticut — despite their distaste for cigarettes and recognition that tobacco use has caused thousands of deaths in the state each year. The governor and other supporters of PMI’s relocation argue that the new headquarters at 677 Washington Blvd. — the former home…

If we’re able to breathe easier next November and can welcome the parade back to downtown Stamford, it makes sense that someone will try to entice the tobacco company to become the title sponsor. Handlers of a Marlboro Man balloon could fling candy knockoffs of products to the kiddies. I don’t mean to sound cynical (OK, yes I do), but I can’t conjure the same enthusiasm as Gov. Ned Lamont, Mayor-elect Caroline Simmons & Co. in welcoming Philip Morris to the home of what was once the world’s largest trading floor….

“We’ve done as much as we can, and it’s time for the next generation, new blood,” Melillo, 71, said, standing next to Priam and pointing across a field. “As an example, there are 12 acres over there, a beautiful, flat field. It’s growing hay and weeds. It could grow more vines. It could grow marijuana.”
