Federal Agency Loosens Marijuana-Related Grant Funding Restrictions For Mental Health Treatment – Marijuana Moment
An influential U.S. Senate committee on Wednesday voted to advance funding legislation and attached report language that encourages the federal government to reconsider “arbitrary” THC restrictions on hemp and continue efforts to develop a regulatory pathway for CBD products.

Marijuana legalization has been gaining momentum at the state level in recent years, partially because of the prospect of new tax revenue.
