Andrew Cuomo and the state Legislature approved the law back in March that legalized the sale of weed in New York. But Cuomo — locked in a dispute with the state Senate — didn’t nominate an executive director for the new Office of Cannabis Management or name appointees to the Cannabis Control Board, even though the Marijuana Taxation and Regulation Act was passed months ago.

New Mexico Is Officially Accepting Recreational Marijuana Producer Applications – Marijuana Moment
A California bill to legalize possession of a wide range of psychedelics such as psilocybin and ayahuasca will not advance further this year following a decision by the sponsor that more time is needed to build the case for the reform and solidify its chances of being enacted.

But it was ultimately decided that the proposal would be made into a two-year bill,…
