January 29, 11:04 AM
Although Ohio voted in favor of legalizing recreational cannabis over two months ago, marijuana sales have yet to commence. This is because there have not been any rules defined regarding the legal sales of the recreational drug. According to Speaker of the Ohio House, Jason Stephens, he is working towards achieving a resolution on this issue in the spring. The Senate President, Matt Huffman, is also optimistic that the groups will reach a resolution on this matter within the next month. Several competing bills have been put forward, with both House Bill 86 and House Bill 354 looking to address the issue.

Colorado Wants To Simplify Cannabis Regulations, Eliminate Fungus Testing: A 500-Page Rulebook Is Too Long, Lawmakers Say

By Jelena Martinovic
January 25, 11:11 AM
Colorado lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan bill that aims to remove a rule requiring cannabis products to be tested for a fungus called Aspergillus. The rule, which was implemented by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, resulted in 17 product recalls in 2023, the most in the last seven years. The bill, Senate Bill 24-076, also seeks to make other changes to cannabis business regulations in the state. It would address the issue of labelling mandates for THC-infused products made from remediated marijuana, allow dispensaries to sell consumable goods that don't contain THC or CBD, and extend cannabis licensure from one to two years without any changes in fees. The bill has been brought by the Marijuana Industry Group, which says it is time for Colorado to streamline its regulations, following the lead of states including Nevada, California, Oregon and Maryland.

Maryland residents spent a record $96.5m on cannabis products in December, according to data from the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA). Of that total, $61.5m came from recreational cannabis sales, while medical sales totaled around $35m for the month. Maryland has seen booming sales since the launch of the recreational market last summer. At the time, existing cannabis companies in the state switched to adult-use shops by paying an 8% one-time fee of their 2022 dispensary revenue not exceeding $2m. Licensed stores took in $20.9m in the first week of legal sales. In total, Maryland recorded $787.5m in sales of legal marijuana products in 2023. Over the same period, Rhode Islanders spent more than $107.8m on combined cannabis sales.

By Jelena Martinovic
January 17, 10:17 AM
On Friday, a New York regulator green-lighted two more marijuana multistate operators to transition to the recreational market from the medical. Fiorello Pharmaceuticals Inc. - owned by Green Thumb Industries Inc and running dispensaries in Manhattan, Long Beach, Rochester and Half Moon - and Citiva Medical LLC - owned by iAnthus Capital Holdings Inc. and operating medical dispensaries doing business as "Be" in Brooklyn, Wappingers Falls, Staten Island and Ithaca– were approved by the members of New York Cannabis Control Board (CCB) in the anonymous vote. In the meantime, on Jan. 12, Arkansans for Patient Access, a ballot committee, submitted a proposed ballot initiative to Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin to amend Amendment 98, the state's medical marijuana amendment. In Maine, a new push seeks to decriminalize the possession of small quantities of illegal drugs and allocate resources towards treating substance use disorder instead of enforcing punitive measures. More Floridians are opting to register as medical marijuana patients, at least according to the 2024 Physician Certification Pattern Review annual report that highlighted figures from fiscal year 2023.
