  5. “We have lots of tutorials, and we have a step-by-step guide that we provide as well. Anybody could sit down and do the application. I don’t think it’s challenging.” By Rebecca Rivas, Missouri Independent The application window to win one of 77 Missouri microbusiness marijuana licenses through a lottery selection will open July 13-27. The selection lottery is scheduled to take place on September 9, and the Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation expects to issue the licenses in December, according to a press release issued Monday. Microbusinesses are marijuana facility licenses that are issued to eligible entities and individuals and are designed to allow marginalized or underrepresented individuals to participate in the legal marijuana market, the release states. Lesley Turek, the division’s chief equity officer, has been traveling the state this month to educate people about the application process. “I really feel strongly that the microbusiness licensees are a community of people, first and foremost, that support each other,” she said. “They’re the ones that are making this program move forward, so I’m looking forward to meeting some new people and sharing as much as I can about the program. It’s a great program.” A big part of what she’s been covering are the new rules that went into effect at the end of May—rules cannabis regulators proposed in 2024 after they revoked numerous licenses due to unconstitutional ownership deals. The new rules, she said, allow regulators to complete an extensive review before the licenses are issued, rather than afterwards. They also provide a deeper explanation of what it means to “majority own and operate” a license, which is a requirement in the Constitution. They mandate that regulators communicate directly with majority owners and that applicants take a course on compliance before applying and after receiving the license. The microbusiness program was established through the 2022 constitutional amendment voters approved to legalize recreational marijuana. In Missouri, there are seven categories where people could qualify for a microbusiness license, ranging from a lower income level or living in an area considered impoverished to having past arrests or incarcerations related to marijuana offenses. Applicants pay a $1,500 application fee that’s refundable if they don’t get picked. The Missouri Lottery will pick 77 applicants for licenses to open up either dispensaries or cultivation facilities. The goal is to fill the remaining slots in the minimum 144 microbusiness licenses mandated by the Constitution. Turek believes the application is pretty straightforward and something people can complete on their own, unlike the much more complicated application for comprehensive licenses. “We have lots of tutorials, and we have a step-by-step guide that we provide as well,” she said. “Anybody could sit down and do the application. I don’t think it’s challenging.” The part that most people don’t often understand is everything that comes with being a marijuana facility owner. “It’s very expensive, it’s very regulated, and so it’s challenging,” she said. “I want to make sure people have a clear understanding beforehand, so that they can make a good decision about whether or not they want to apply to this program.” A big part of her presentation is focused on the fact that the licenses must be majority owned and operated by eligible individuals, she said. They have to hold more than 50 percent of ownership and more than 50 percent of the power to direct the decisions that are made with the license. “It’s more than just ownership percentage,” she said. “It is really about being able to have that control of it.” She also talks about the designated contact, and why in the new rule regulators will require the designated contact to be the applicant or an eligible person who holds majority ownership. The designated-contact role was envisioned as a way to ensure clear communication between the state and licensees. Instead, state regulators discovered many designated contacts have kept the actual eligible applicants in the dark about business and license dealings. Applicants get locked into agreements that limit their voting power and profits in the business. That’s also why the state is now requiring a pre-application training, which is a three-video online course to ensure that applicants have an understanding of “potential predatory practices,” regulators stated in responses to public comments in the rulemaking process. The press release states that those needing assistance with eligibility requirements or application forms can contact facility application services at CannabisFAS@health.mo.gov. Microbusiness education outreach events In-person forums: June 22 – 6 to 8 p.m. – Kansas City Webinars: June 24 – 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 29 – 6 to 8 p.m. Registration is required for all in-person and virtual sessions. Interested participants may register at Microbusiness Education. Additional information about the microbusiness program is available at cannabis.mo.gov.

  18. Virginia’s governor has proposed amendments to budget legislation that lawmakers approved this week, but those changes don’t include alterations to provisions that would legalize recreational marijuana sales. Nor do they address the concerns of advocates who had urged her to cancel out a section that would dramatically increase penalties for public consumption of cannabis—which they say will be enforced in a racially discriminatory manner based on new state data they obtained. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) on Friday sent lawmakers her suggested amendments to the budget bill, which will require the House of Delegates and Senate to reconvene to approve them before the overall legislation and its marijuana provisions can be enacted ahead of a July 1 deadline for the budget. Lawmakers are expected to do so on Monday. The budget bill passed by the legislature contains provisions that advocates generally support to legalize recreational marijuana sales—but it would also increase the current $25 fine for using cannabis in a public place by 900 percent to $250—a spike that advocates are calling a “poverty penalty.” A coalition of advocacy groups led by Marijuana Justice this week released new enforcement stats that they obtained through the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that they say “proves that legalization has not ended racially biased marijuana policing” in the state. An analysis of the state information shows that since noncommercial cannabis legalization took effect in Virginia in 2021, 185 white people and 179 Black people have been charged with public consumption—meaning that, based on the state’s population, Black people are more than three times more likely than white people to face such marijuana charges. Spanberger did not alter the penalty increase in her proposed amendments, however, nor did she suggest any changes to the marijuana section of the bill. Marijuana Justice and other groups like the ACLU of Virginia, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Marijuana Policy Project, Drug Policy Alliance and Latino Cannabis Alliance, among others, recently sent a letter urging lawmakers and the governor not to boost the cannabis penalty, saying it would “deepen racial and economic disparities.” “Higher fines and penalties for low-level marijuana offenses are not neutral,” the organizations wrote in a letter to Spanberger and legislators. “They are enforced disproportionately against Black and brown communities, create debt that low-income people cannot afford and can trigger cascading harms in immigration, housing, education and employment.” Spanberger last month vetoed a previous measure to legalize recreational cannabis sales after lawmakers rejected her proposed amendments to the plan. She later negotiated with Sen. Lashrecse Aird (D) and Del. Paul Krizek (D), who sponsored the earlier measure, on a compromise deal that was included in the budget legislation that passed this week. The new plan differs significantly in several ways from the earlier legislation. For example, it sets the launch date for recreational marijuana sales at July 1, 2027, which is what Spanberger proposed in contrast to the January 1 date in what lawmakers had passed. It also sets the legal public marijuana possession and per-transaction purchase limit at 2 ounces, an increase from the current legal limit of one ounce. The legislation lawmakers passed earlier this year would have allowed adults to possess up to 2.5 ounces. The bill also cedes to Spanberger on language to increase a marijuana excise tax from 6 percent to 8 percent after two years of legal sales. By way of compromise, the new agreement would make public consumption of marijuana punishable by a civil penalty of $250—a significant increase from the $25 in current law but less harsh than the class 4 criminal misdemeanor the governor sought in her proposed changes to the previous bill. Lawmakers passed the initial cannabis sales bills in March, but the governor then suggested changes to the legalization proposal—including delaying the start date for sales by six months, increasing taxes and instituting new criminal penalties for cannabis consumers. The legislature in April declined to take up the amendments during a one-day reconvened session, however, effectively rejecting them. Spanberger then issued a veto. Spanberger said this month that she was having “really productive” and “incredible” conversations with lawmakers about crafting a compromise approach to legalizing adult-use cannabis sales, and Marijuana Moment previously reported on the ongoing talks. The governor, meanwhile, has tried to publicly explain her veto—including by saying it is her view that “taking a little bit longer” to launch the market is not something she sees as “negative” because it is more important to get the details right than to do it fast. A recent survey found that bipartisan majorities of Virginia voters wanted Spanberger to sign the cannabis legislation into law, and that they specifically disagreed with her desire to slow the launch timeline for legal sales. The governor recently acknowledged in a separate interview that “a lot of people are not pleased” with her veto of the cannabis legislation. “Friends and family are displeased as well,” she said. Spanberger has repeatedly responded to criticism of her cannabis amendments from the bill sponsors and advocates by saying the suggested changes came after she spoke to the leaders of other states that have already implemented adult-use marijuana markets. A spokesperson for Spanberger declined to name any other governors she talked to about cannabis in response to a question from Marijuana Moment, however. The governor separately sought to explain her veto in an earlier interview, reiterating that she supports launching a legal cannabis market but worried about what she called a “rushed timeline” and “far more stores across Virginia” than she thinks are appropriate. Personal marijuana possession and home cultivation of marijuana has been legal in Virginia since 2021, but then-Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) twice vetoed bills to provide consumers with a way to legally purchase regulated adult-use cannabis. Here are the key details of the new cannabis plan in the budget and how it compares to legislation that Spanberger vetoed—SB 542 and HB 642—as well as her previously proposed amendments to those measures: Adults would be able to purchase up to 2 ounces of marijuana in a single transaction, or up to an equivalent amount of other cannabis products as determined by regulators. That would represent an increase from the limit in current law of 1 ounce. Lawmakers previously proposed setting the amount at 2.5 ounces and the governor only wanted 2 ounces. Legal sales could begin on July 1, 2027. Lawmakers previously set the date for January 1, 2027, but the governor wanted it pushed back to July 1. There would be an excise tax of 6 percent on cannabis sales as well as a 5.3 percent retail sales and use tax, and municipalities would be allowed to set an additional local tax of up to 3.5 percent. Starting on July 1, 2029, the state excise tax would increase to 8 percent, in line with the governor’s previously proposed amendments. Revenue would be distributed to the Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Fund, early childhood education, the Department of Behavioral & Developmental Health Services and public health initiatives. The earlier measure passed by lawmakers would have allocated specific percentages to each, but the new language doesn’t specify what portion of revenue will go to each program. The governor, in her amendments, wanted to put all revenue into the general fund while earmarking it “for purposes such as early childhood education, behavioral health, public health awareness, prevention, treatment, and recovery services, workforce development, reentry, indigent criminal defense, and targeted reinvestment in historically disadvantaged communities.” Her amendment also sought to eliminate support for the Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Fund. The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority would oversee licensing and regulation of the new industry, and will also take on oversight of hemp, which is currently under the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The body would be governed by a five-member board of directors appointed by the governor, whereas the bill previously passed by lawmakers contemplated a seven-member body with four appointed by the governor, two appointed by the speaker of the House and one appointed by the Senate Rules Committee. The definition of what constitutes a legal hemp product would be narrowed by removing a provision from current law that allows those containing more than 2 milligrams of total THC per package if they also have a ratio of CBD to THC that is 25:1 or more. Up to 350 retail marijuana stores would be allowed to be licensed to operate across the state, the same number that lawmakers had approved and greater than the 200 the governor had proposed. Local governments would not be able to opt of allowing marijuana businesses to operate in their area. Delivery services would be allowed. Serving sizes would be capped at 10 milligrams THC, with no more than 100 mg THC per package. Public use of marijuana would be a civil violation punishable by a $250 fine. That is ten times more than the $25 fine under current law, but less harsh than the class 4 criminal misdemeanor crime the governor had proposed. Possession of cannabis by people under the age of 21 would be punishable by a $25 fine and mandatory participation in a substance abuse treatment or education program or both. The governor had suggested treating underage possession as a class 1 misdemeanor, punishable with a mandatory minimum fine of $500 or 50 hours of community service, as well as the suspension of drivers licenses for at least six months. Existing medical cannabis operators could enter the adult-use market if they pay a $10 million licensing conversion fee. Cannabis businesses would have to establish labor peace agreements with workers. A legislative commission would be directed to study adding on-site consumption licenses and microbusiness cannabis event permits that would allow licensees to conduct sales at venues like farmers markets or pop-up locations. That provision was also included in the earlier legislation lawmakers passed but was suggested for deletion by the governor. Meanwhile, the governor signed several other reform bills this session—including measures to provide resentencing relief for people with past cannabis convictions, protect the parental rights of marijuana consumers and allow patients to access medical cannabis in hospitals.

  22. “If the only thing that we can do is to prohibit sales to under 21, I would rather the pressure grow, and let’s see if we can address it more comprehensively later.” By Jessica Holdman, South Carolina Daily Gazette South Carolinians, including teens, can continue to buy hemp products infused with THC at grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants and vape shops across the state after legislators failed to reach a consensus on regulating the intoxicating gummies and drinks. The effort to rein in what some called the “Wild Wild West” of these products, which can provide an alternative high in a state where marijuana remains illegal, failed Thursday after hemp industry proponents and those seeking an all-out ban collectively defeated it in the state House. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 27-11. But then House members voted 69-28 to kill the bill that would have limited sales to adults over 21 and set rules on what products could be sold and by whom. The issue divided Republicans. The 69 “no” votes included 28 Democrats and 41 Republicans. No Democrat voted for the restrictions. Proposals on how to curb sales of drinks and edibles infused with hemp-derived THC—effectively legalized by the 2018 federal Farm Bill—have divided the GOP in both chambers over the past two legislative sessions. Legislators have generally agreed they want to keep the products out of children’s hands. But they’ve been at odds over what should be legal for adults to buy. The House passed legislation nearly unanimously last year that simply cut out sales of hemp-derived THC products to anyone under 21. But for many legislators, that didn’t go far enough. To try to reach a compromise, House and Senate negotiators removed penalties for people who drive under the influence of these products. Otherwise, a proposal worked out by a the panel largely followed the Senate-passed version of the bill. What resulted was a bill restricting what’s legal to beverages and gummies with no more than 10 milligrams of THC per serving and limited the majority of sales to liquor stores only. Other retailers had the option to apply for a license allowing them to sell 12-ounce beverages with up to 5 milligrams of THC. However, the cans or bottles would have had to remain behind the counter. The proposal barred restaurants from offering the products at all. “My concern about doing something very minimalist is that once you do something on a problem it’s: well, that problem is solved, we have another fire to put out, and we don’t come back to it for 10 years,” Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey told reporters after the failed House vote. “And if the only thing that we can do is to prohibit sales to under 21, I would rather the pressure grow, and let’s see if we can address it more comprehensively later.” The Edgefield Republican said he would have preferred a total ban but he knew, in the Senate, that wasn’t feasible either. On the House said, one faction argued setting these limits would kill the industry and force the closure of mom-and-pop shops, handing the majority of their business over to “big liquor.” “We’re actually taking that from the stores that are selling it now and we’re giving it to another industry, which is called the liquor industry. That, in my opinion, is a government overreach. I think that is a foul. I’m against that 100 percent,” said Rep. Greg Ford, one of the hemp industry’s leading supporters in the House. On the House floor earlier this year, the Summerville Republican told his colleagues how his 24-year-old son uses hemp products with THC for relief from seizures. He credits the products with saving his son’s life. “The reason why he turned 24 is because we found the hemp product,” Ford previously said. And while the legislation would have allowed retailers to keep selling products with a lower infusion of THC, he said it subjected them to some of the same restrictions faced by those that sell beer and wine, such as not being within several hundred feet of a church, school or playground. Ford said one man with 11 stores in the Charleston area would not have been able to operate 10 of them because his leased spaces would not have complied. Another owner he heard from in the Upstate told Ford all 29 of his stores would have to close. In all, some 1,800 small businesses, employing 3,500 people, could have been impacted, Rep. Gil Gatch, R-Summerville said. “What has made this state great is that the government respects business owners. It respects people that employ people, and this is total disrespect to an entire industry,” added Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Columbia. On the other end of the spectrum were those not willing to accept anything less than a total ban. “By passing this bill, we’re about to legalize the most dangerous form of THC,” said Rep. John McCravy. While technically not illegal, sellers of these products have been operating in a legal gray area and the Greenwood Republican said he wanted to put an end to it. “Once we pass this, it will be a flood. We’re going to be the dumping ground for these drinks,” McCravy added. “We’re going have more and more people addicted to this stuff in South Carolina.” House Judiciary Chairman Weston Newton, who sat on the special committee tasked with reaching a compromise, tried to remind House members that a failure to pass the bill would mean a wide array of THC-infused products will stay on shelves available for people of all ages to buy. The Bluffton Republican read from a letter sent by Chief Mark Keel, head of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division: “Currently without regulation and dedicated resources, statewide enforcement of intoxicating THC products is virtually impossible. Posing a significant public safety risk, especially to our young people.” “Not one person has gotten up today and said, ‘Children ought to be able to buy this in South Carolina.’ And yet, we have before us today, the way to stop that,” Newton added. “This debate is and should have been focused the entire time on public safety. I hope you all will join me in standing with the chief of SLED, with our sheriff’s association, and our police departments in South Carolina in supporting this bill.” Ultimately, Newton’s plea was in vain and the size of the opposition made it clear no legislation was likely to pass this year. That leaves the state waiting to see whether the federal government will allow rules reducing the allowable THC content in hemp products to go into effect in November.
