Local officials in Houston, Texas are set to decide this week to place a voter-initiated measure to make misdemeanor marijuana possession the “lowest possible enforcement priority” for local police on the November ballot. Activists with Ground Game Texas have submitted nearly 40,000 signatures from registered voters in support of the Houston Freedom Act, which would also ban no-knock warrants in the city. The City Council is expected to receive public testimony on the proposed charter amendment on Tuesday and then vote on Wednesday to place it on the ballot. The cannabis initiative says that its purpose is to “carefully allocating scarce city resources, reducing the risk of discriminatory enforcement practices, and focusing city resources on the highest priority public safety concerns.” “The City shall update its annual budget, police department manual, and relevant policies and procedures to ensure that public safety resources are not wasted on misdemeanor marijuana enforcement, and are instead targeted at other programs that best promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of Houston,” it says. The measure says the city should support diversion options such as referrals to treatment or participation in community service programs as an alternative to arrest for people accused of Class A or Class B misdemeanor marijuana possession. Officers will still be allowed to seize any substance that they have probable cause to believe is marijuana, however. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

There would also need to be a one-time audit of all misdemeanor marijuana enforcement conducted by city police within the past five years, including a breakdown of arrests made and citations issued, with demographic breakdowns for age, gender, race and ethnicity. “To the best of their ability, the City shall determine: (a) the average total staff hours required per misdemeanor marijuana charge, including officer time, transit time, and any staff processing time; (b) the average total cost to the City per misdemeanor marijuana charge; (c ) the estimated total spent by the City on THC testing for each year under review; and (d) the estimated total spent by the City on misdemeanor marijuana enforcement, including staff and testing costs, for each year under review.” Going forward, local officials would also need to issue annual reports on implementation of the lowest-enforcement priority policy for cannabis possession arrests. Ground Game has expressed concerns that local officials have not been processing submitted signatures for the measure as quickly as they had hoped in recent weeks, so they have stepped up pressure—including by asking supporters to testify at the council’s public meeting on Tuesday. Catina Voellinger, executive director of the organization, told Marijuana Moment that activists have been assured by the mayor’s office that if the petition review is not completed in time for Wednesday’s council meeting, a special meeting will be called for August 17, which is the deadline to certify ballot measures for November. Ground Game has previously organized efforts to put more far-reaching measures to decriminalize marijuana under local law on the ballot in several cities across Texas, with some passing and some failing. In general, the measures that have been approved in Austin, Denton, Elgin, Harker Heights, Killeen and San Marcos were aimed at preventing police from making arrests or issuing citations for Class A or B misdemeanor cannabis possession offenses, unless it’s part of a high priority felony investigation for narcotics or violent crime. State Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), however, has sued to block enactment of those local cannabis decriminalization laws—saying that “we don’t allow cities the ability to create anarchy by picking and choosing the laws they enforce.” The Texas Supreme Court sided with the attorney general in his quest to overturn the local voter-approved cannabis laws. Paxton is running for U.S. Senate this November. His Democratic opponent James Talarico recently said that keeping marijuana illegal is an “insane” form of “corruption” that benefits alcohol and tobacco companies. Meanwhile in Texas, regulators have moved to ban certain hemp-derived THC cannabis products, including those containing delta-8 and delta-10 THC. Now classified as Schedule I drugs, possession is treated as a felony, carrying a punishment of 180 days to two years in prison and fines of up to $10,000. The restrictions are being challenged with a federal lawsuit filed by hemp companies.

A bipartisan duo of lawmakers have filed a new bill in Congress that would exempt hemp beverages from a currently scheduled ban on THC products derived from the plant. The legislation’s introductions comes days after the Senate voted to delay the planned recriminalization of hemp, which is intended to give lawmakers more time to craft regulations as an alternative to prohibition. The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act, from Reps. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and Greg Landsman (D-OH), introduced on Monday, would establish a three-tier system for distribution of hemp drinks, similar to the model currently used for alcohol. It would allow adults over 21 to purchase and consume hemp THC beverages with up to 5 milligrams of total intoxicating THC per serving. A draft version of the hemp drinks legislation obtained earlier this year by Marijuana Moment would have used a more permissive limit that measured delta-9 THC specifically. Under the bill as introduced, there would be a new federal tax on hemp drinks of 8 cents per milligram of intoxicating THC—a reduction from the 10 cents contemplated in the earlier draft measure. Hemp drinks would be regulated by the Treasury Department’s Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), with requirements for testing, packaging, labeling and serving and container sizes. “I’ve heard directly from people across North Texas who consume hemp-derived beverages, and businesses who sell them, that they need clarity, not a ban that pushes this market underground,” Van Duyne said in a press release. “The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act brings long-overdue certainty to the industry by regulating these beverages with the same proven structure that has successfully governed alcohol for decades.” Today, I introduced the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act, giving Congress a targeted framework for hemp-derived beverages that protects children, provides regulatory certainty, and allows responsible hemp beverage companies to operate under clear standards. pic.twitter.com/FgNsRlemYf — Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne (@RepBethVanDuyne) August 10, 2026 “I am glad to introduce this bipartisan legislation alongside Rep. Greg Landsman, because American families and responsible businesses deserve structure and sensible regulations that protect children while allowing adults to choose beverages they prefer,” she said. Landsman, for his part, said that “there are people all over Southwest Ohio who have invested significantly in these products, and they’ve done so safely.” “Now the federal government is telling them they can’t sell these products anymore,” he said. “Our bill is bipartisan and very straightforward. It will keep people safe and let these folks stay in business.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year. Patreon supporters pledging at least $25/month get access to our interactive maps, charts and hearing calendar so they don’t miss any developments.

Companies could not sell multi-serving containers larger than 750 milliliters under the legislation. The legislation further clarifies that states, Indian tribes and localities could set regulations that are “more stringent” than federal rules, but says that they could not prohibit the shipment or transportation of hemp beverages through their borders on the way to other jurisdictions. Hemp derivatives with less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis were federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill that President Donald Trump signed during his first term in office. But late last year, the president signed new legislation containing provisions that will redefine hemp to make it so only products with 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container will remain legal after November 12. The Senate over the weekend, however, approved a funding bill that includes a provision to delay the effective date of the ban until December 11. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) had filed an amendment to strip that language and keep the prohibition on track as scheduled, but the body approved a motion to table the proposal from Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in a vote of 61-32. The House of Representatives, which previously passed a separate funding bill that does not include language to extend the hemp ban’s effective date, is scheduled to return from its recess on August 31. The new hemp drinks bill is being supported by some members of the alcohol industry. “For nearly a century, the alcohol regulatory system has kept consumers safe while giving legitimate businesses clear rules to operate under. Rep. Van Duyne’s bill extends that same proven framework to hemp-derived beverages,” Dawson Hobbs, executive vice president of government affairs forWine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA), said. “WSWA is proud to support this legislation and thanks the congresswoman for her leadership in addressing products that have grown in popularity and are already on store shelves. We urge Congress to act before the November 12 deadline eliminates responsible options from the marketplace entirely.” Total Wine & More said the bill “brings low-dose hemp-infused beverages into the same three-tier system that has safely regulated beer, wine and spirits for decades.” “This framework, with licensed manufacturers, distributors and retailers, along with age verification, testing and labeling standards, is a smart way to protect consumers while giving responsible businesses certainty,” the company said. John Bodnovich, executive director of American Beverage Licensees, said the legislation is a “thoughtful and serious approach to regulating hemp beverages in the United States.” “Licensed beverage retailers have been consistent in calling for a safe, well-regulated, and accountable marketplace for hemp beverages, just as they have supported the effective system of state-based alcohol regulation that promotes public safety and responsibility while meeting consumer needs,” he said.

“If we just open stores without more growers online, we’re going to see prices spike, and I don’t think anybody wants to see that.” By Julia Merola and Ella Walker, Spotlight Delaware In 2024, Delaware’s new marijuana regulators granted Louise Shelton two social-equity licenses to grow cannabis for the state’s fledgling recreational market. The licenses were designed to help people who came from areas hardest hit by marijuana prohibition. But two years later, Shelton has not been able to open a cultivation site, and says she may abandon her venture this fall if she can’t find investors for the startup. Shelton recounts a frustrating two-year experience—marked by institutional delays and bad-faith outside consultants—that she said has left her plans at a standstill. After receiving her licenses, Shelton was approached by individuals who presented themselves as investors, she said. It was a welcome development for her social-equity endeavor where outside financing is often essential. But later, Shelton learned that the investors had no money, and instead wanted her to hire them as consultants. “It was frustrating to say the least because last year we could have been doing fundraisers or something,” she said. While the details of Shelton’s story are unique, the end result has become common across Delaware’s new recreational marijuana industry. In the two years since licenses were granted—and one year since legal sales began—the industry has failed to meet early expectations. The only retail businesses that are operating are those shops that converted from selling medicinal marijuana to recreational. Of the cultivation licensees, four have begun operations. And only one of 20 social equity licensees for cultivation has become active, said Keila Montalvo, spokeswoman for the Delaware Office of the Marijuana Commissioner. Also highlighting the underwhelming launch of the recreational marijuana industry is the $53.4 million in revenue it generated in its first year, which officially began August 1, 2025. According to the state’s marijuana tax rate, that translates to just over $8 million for the state government. Prior to the start of recreational sales, Delaware’s first marijuana commissioner, Robert Coupe, predicted the state would see $281 million in sales during the industry’s first year. James Brobyn, president of the Delaware Cannabis Industry Association, attributed the shortfall to a slew of structural issues in the state. He pointed to struggles with raising capital, similar to what Shelton has faced. And he noted there is limited access to usable real estate for marijuana businesses. Those limits stem from restrictive local zoning laws, as well as from an outsize number of properties being owned by banks, which do not do business with marijuana businesses, he said. Still, Brobyn said it is disingenuous to call the industry underperforming. He said roadblocks are coming from state and county leaders who are “ignoring” or “fighting against” the industry, even as residents broadly support the safe cannabis sales. “There’s not a lot of interest in collaborating with the industry and helping move this thing forward in a positive way,” he said. Delaware’s top marijuana regulator largely agreed that the industry’s launch has been slow, but said the state’s priorities go beyond the immediate opening of new storefronts. Delaware Marijuana Commissioner Joshua Sanderlin noted the industry faced two years of pushback from officials at the city, county, and state levels, but said the first year of legal marijuana in Delaware was meant to establish more cultivation sites. “If we just open stores without more growers online, we’re going to see prices spike, and I don’t think anybody wants to see that,” he said. Sanderlin also said he had hoped to see higher sales numbers, but said “until we can get more stores open, that number is going to be kind of low.” To help individuals operate their businesses, Sanderlin’s office will partner with the Delaware Technical Community College and provide business owner classes for current licensees. A new shop coming to Georgetown While shop openings have stalled, Sanderlin said that will change by the end of the summer when a new storefront opens in Georgetown. It will follow a series of policies enacted in recent years to regulate the new industry. Those included revisions to the key state law that made recreational sales legal. The law permitted municipalities to prohibit marijuana businesses from their jurisdictions and gave counties broad authority to dictate where shops could locate. It has led to a third of Delaware towns and cities outright prohibiting marijuana shops. Sanderlin said the biggest delay for licensees within the last year were caused by difficulties of finding eligible properties to open storefronts because of limitations from local governments. “I’ve heard from several of my licensees that you know they have found locations now, and they have already put in requests for zoning verification from the counties,” Sanderlin said. Last year, Sanderlin’s boss, Gov. Matt Meyer (D), vetoed Senate Bill 75, which would loosen zoning regulations around the state’s marijuana industry. Lawmakers responded during the early-morning hours of July 1, when they voted to override the veto. Sussex County leaders respond to an ongoing fight Although the veto override has benefited licensees seeking to open businesses in areas, such as Georgetown, Sussex County leaders say it is another overstep from Dover. Two Sussex County councilmembers—Jane Gruenebaum and Steve McCarron—told Spotlight Delaware the decision of where marijuana can be sold is a local issue. “This is just one more example of the state and up north really trying to have an influence on what’s going on in Sussex,” McCarron said. Gruenebaum also said “the point” of their frustration is not whether localities can override the state, but that where products are sold should be a matter of local control. Last year, Sussex County lowered the barriers on some of its zoning for recreational marijuana stores, including removing some conditional use requirements and lowering the buffer distance from town limits from 3 miles to half a mile. But even after those changes, the county’s zoning was still restrictive, due primarily to its retention of 3-mile buffers to “sensitive places” like schools, parks, substance abuse treatment centers and, crucially, churches. The sheer prevalence of the latter in Sussex County made building a new project virtually impossible. Senate Bill 75 no longer allows churches to be included as a “sensitive place” and lowers all allowable buffers to 500 feet. McCarron said the shortened buffer defeats the purpose of letting towns decide where and if they want marijuana shops. This story was first published by Spotlight Delaware.

A U.S. Senate dispute over whether to implement a forthcoming ban on hemp THC products on time as scheduled or instead delay it in order to give lawmakers more time to craft regulations as an alternative to prohibition has transcended typical partisan and ideological lines. Hemp derivatives with less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis were federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill that President Donald Trump signed during his first term in office. But late last year, the president signed new legislation containing provisions that will redefine hemp to make it so only products with 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container will remain legal after November 12. The Senate over the weekend, however, approved a funding bill that includes a provision to delay the effective date of the ban until December 11. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) had filed an amendment to strip that language and keep the prohibition on track as scheduled, but the body approved a motion to table the proposal from Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in a vote of 61-32. 34 Democrats and one independent who caucuses with Democrats took the pro-hemp position by voting to table Budd’s amendment, as did 26 Republicans. That includes Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Fetterman (D-PA), Rand Paul (R-KY), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Tim Sheehy (D-MT) and Ron Wyden (D-OR). Good news: The Senate voted to reject an attempt to strip the hemp ban delay out of the funding bill. A federal hemp ban would wipe out thousands of Minnesota jobs. Our farmers and small businesses are already following strong safety rules — a one-size-fits-all federal ban… pic.twitter.com/SrfVz0ZYqx — Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) August 8, 2026 “The delay will give Congress more time to get a long-term fix, and I’m working on that too,” Klobuchar said in a video posted to social media after the vote. “We cannot allow this to go into effect.” It is 330 am and good news for hemp farmers, brewers, small businesses & customers! On a 61-32 vote the Senate just defeated an effort to strip my provision that would delay the hemp ban. This gives Congress more time to find a solution, like the sensible safety rules in MN. — Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) August 8, 2026 On the other side of the debate, 21 Republicans voted to keep Budd’s anti-hemp amendment alive, and they were joined by 11 Democrats. The bloc that sided with Budd on keeping the hemp product delay on schedule includes Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), John Cornyn (R-TX), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). “My opponents have asked: What is the harm in a monthlong delay? I am going to tell you,” Budd said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote. “The goal is not an extra month to work on policy, as many have said.” “The well-oiled hemp lobbying machine has already had nine months to do that,” Budd said. “The real goal is to jam us in December on a must-pass package and to permanently entrench their intoxicating products into the machinery of government.” I am disappointed that the Senate chose to protect an industry that insists on selling dangerous intoxicants marketed toward children by delaying the hemp loophole. We agreed to ban these drugs nearly 9 months ago, but clearly our fight to stop this scourge is just beginning. — Senator Ted Budd (@SenTedBuddNC) August 8, 2026 All told, majorities of both Democrats and Republicans voted to quash Budd’s anti-hemp amendment, which was also opposed by the Trump administration. Seven senators were not present for the vote. Paul, for his part, criticized his colleagues who want to ban hemp products, telling Marijuana Moment ahead of the vote that “people take all kinds of prescription drugs to help them sleep, and they’re making a judgment that somehow taking Ambien, Percocet is somehow better than taking hemp.” “Really, I think it’s none of their damn business,” he said of fellow lawmakers. “I think people, adults ought to be able to make a decision on what they want to take for sleep.” Paul also told Marijuana Moment that “there are a couple industries that are opposed to hemp that also sell hemp—meaning the cannabis industry.” “The cannabis industry and some of the alcohol industry don’t like it because it competes,” he said. Advocacy organizations within the cannabis space took differing views about the forthcoming ban and the move to delay it. The U.S. Cannabis Roundtable, which represents some of the largest marijuana businesses in the country, said in a social media post after the vote that it is “disappointed” in the result. “During the August recess, House members will have the opportunity to hear directly from their constituents on whether unregulated and synthetic hemp products should be widely available for sale, including to minors,” the group said. The language that was approved by the Senate includes a carve-out to allow the immediate recriminalization on November 12 of synthetic cannabinoids “that are not capable of being naturally produced by a Cannabis sativa L. plant.” But marijuana industry groups point out that cannabinoids such as HHC and THC-P, which can be produced in low-levels by the plant, would still be able to be chemically converted from hemp-derived CBD under the legislation. During the August recess, House members will have the opportunity to hear directly from their constituents on whether unregulated and synthetic hemp products should be widely available for sale, including to minors. — US Cannabis Roundtable (@USCRorg) August 8, 2026 Michael Bronstein, president of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp, said that “the Senate’s actions will be seen as undermining state laws and efforts to regulate synthetic hemp products such as delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, and THCP.” “These products are not ‘hemp’ and they aren’t even marijuana. Cannabis and hemp licensees want responsible legalization and regulation—not a reprieve for lab created intoxicants, which have no business on gas station shelves or being sold to kids online,” he said. “The Senate’s vote in the short term will embolden those who rely on the loophole to bypass the law, selling synthetics and deceptively market marijuana as THCA ‘hemp’ flower, while penalizing real and compliant businesses.” On the other side of the debate, the U.S. Hemp Roundtable said in an alert to supporters that the Senate’s action “preserves access to lawful hemp products, protects American jobs and businesses, and ensures Congress has additional time to finish the important work of developing a comprehensive federal regulatory framework.” Thomas Winstanley, president of Edibles.com, which is part of Edible Brands, the parent company of the iconic Edible Arrangements, said that “Congress did not solve the hemp issue” with the Senate vote but instead “preserved the opportunity to solve it correctly.” “This extension gives Congress the time needed to establish a durable national framework built on consumer safety, responsible commerce and meaningful enforcement,” he said. “The industry has consistently aligned around these principles, and today’s outcome reflects the growing bipartisan consensus that regulation—not prohibition—is the right path forward.” One vote that surprised hemp industry stakeholders was that of Merkley, who despite being a long-time champion of hemp reform voted against tabling Budd’s amendment to keep the ban on schedule. Marijuana Moment reached out to the senator’s office to find out why he voted the way he did but communications staff did not immediately reply. To that end, Merkley’s home-state colleague Wyden, who took the pro-hemp stance in this weekend’s vote, told Marijuana Moment ahead of the vote that there has been confusion around the issue “for a long time.” “We’re hoping to do something that’s good for farmers, good for retail and good for public health,” he said. Sheehy, who along with Klobuchar is expected to soon introduce a standalone bill to regulate hemp as an alternative to prohibition, posted a video before the vote explaining why he wants to keep the products legal despite his view that “we’ve seen legalization of weed happen all over the country, and for the most part, the results have been absolutely terrible.” “There are very, very legitimate uses of many of these hemp products,” he said, “primarily for pain management , which America’s had a tough relationship with pain management for the past 20 years, 30 years.” “We’ve seen opioids destroy communities from coast to coast, especially in rural America, especially for our veterans who come home from our nation’s longest war,” he said. “Many of them dealing with chronic pain—whether it’s TBIs, PTSD or musculoskeletal injuries—and hemp-derived products have provided, in many cases, a natural, healthy way to ease this pain.” “That’s been life-changing for a lot of people,” Sheehy said. “A lot of them I know personally, which is why I’ve taken up this cause.” Why I support a commonsense approach on hemp pic.twitter.com/ujo0Tx5uB3 — Tim Sheehy (@TimSheehyMT) August 7, 2026 The House of Representatives, which previously passed a separate funding bill that does not include language to extend the hemp ban’s effective date, is scheduled to return from its recess on August 31. Hemp industry advocates will be fighting to get the Senate-passed provision through that chamber intact while also working to convince leadership in both bodies to advance a regulatory framework prior to December 11.

A new public education campaign launched—and then quickly deleted—by Virginia state officials that aimed to discourage marijuana-impaired driving appeared to effectively serve as a commercial advertising the relaxation-enhancing effects of cannabis. The new 30-second spot from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles featured minimal narration, simply telling viewers that “if you get high to relax…relax.” Actors were shown on screen engaging in a variety of relaxing and enjoyable activities, such as watching a nature documentary while snacking, taking a soothing bubble bath and tending to plants in a backyard garden. A couple was also shown digging into a huge haul of Chinese take-out food. On-screen text at the end of the ad said, “Don’t drive.” “Through a lighthearted and relatable message, the campaign reminds drivers that cannabis impairment can affect their ability to drive safely and that the best place to unwind is at home, not behind the wheel,” DMV said in a now-deleted press release on the department’s website about the new effort. “DMV’s message is clear: driving is stressful and requires your full attention. Being high makes it harder to react, stay in your lane and handle the unexpected,” it said. “So, if you use cannabis to unwind, do yourself—and everyone else on the road—a favor: stay put…and relaxxxxx.” The campaign was based on research finding that most people who use marijuana do so to relax, the department said. A focus group showed that the concept, developed by DMV’s Highway Safety Office and its creative partner Two Tango Collaborative, “resonated with the target audience before beginning production” of the ad. “Impaired driving is illegal and dangerous, no matter the substance,” DMV Commissioner Saundra M. Jack said. “We want everyone to travel safely. If you use cannabis, please don’t drive.” DMV suggested that people who are under the influence of cannabis use rideshare services or call sober friends to drive them. The new campaign was scheduled to air statewide from August 10 to September 7, including on TV, social and digital media, billboards and radio, according to the press release. There was also set to be a plane flown over concert venues displaying a banner reminding people not to drive while high. The DMV’s official YouTube upload of the video has now been deleted for reasons that are unclear, but a version that was posted to Instagram by The DMV Daily, which tracks local news in Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia, remains available. A LinkedIn post about the ad from Brandy Brubaker, the director of the Virginia Highway Safety Office, was also deleted. Marijuana Moment reached out to DMV for more information but a representative was not immediately available. Meanwhile, Virginia lawmakers this year enacted legislation to legalize recreational marijuana sales after Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) suggested amendments to, and then ultimately vetoed, a previous version of the proposal. A coalition of hemp businesses are suing state officials over provisions of the legislation that will impose restrictions on the products they produce and sell.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Mehmet Oz sent a letter asking senators not to pass the amendment to keep the hemp product ban on track for November—saying he has “grave concerns” it would undermine a Trump administration initiative to cover CBD products through Medicare. The Department of Veterans Affairs is launching a new clinical trial on whether psilocybin can help military veterans who are struggling with treatment-resistant depression, including those who have concurrent PTSD. Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico said the state keeping marijuana illegal while also banning hemp THC products is an “insane” form of “corruption” that benefits alcohol and tobacco companies and drug cartels. “You’ve got big industries buying politicians and pushing bills that harm people, but benefit them financially.” The point-of-sale and payments service Square said it will no longer allow CBD and hemp to be sold on its platform, citing the forthcoming federal recriminalization of many hemp products. The Rhode Island Cannabis Control Commission launched a new recreational marijuana business licensing process that sets aside slots for social equity applicants and worker-owned cooperatives following the conclusion of litigation that blocked a prior effort. The Georgia Department of Public Health acknowledged delays in processing medical cannabis patient registrations amid a huge influx of applications under the state’s newly expanded law that adds new qualifying conditions, allows vaping of flower and changesTHC potency limits. / FEDERAL Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) launched an investigation into what his office called “the Trump administration’s corrupt ties to Big Tobacco and the kratom industry.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted, “I support the current hemp language in the funding bill. It bans synthetic intoxicants while giving naturally derived products a short extension. That’s common sense, and it gives Congress and the Administration time to negotiate a more substantial bill.” Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) criticized the White House’s push to delay the scheduled hemp THC product ban. The House bill to respect state marijuana laws got one new cosponsor for a total of eight. / STATES A new Colorado law on medical cannabis use by terminally ill patients at hospitals takes effect on Wednesday. A California judge ruled that regulators failed to implement a compliant marijuana track and trace system.

“We understand applicants are eager to receive their cards, and we appreciate their patience as we work through this unprecedented volume.” By Alander Rocha, Georgia Recorder Georgia’s medical cannabis program experienced an unprecedented surge of new registered patients over the past month after the law changed significantly to ease access. The patient registry grew from 36,595 patients in late June to 44,854 on Monday, an increase of more than 22 percent in just over a month. The increase of over 8,200 active patients marks a significant change of pace for a decade-old program that grew sluggishly under the previous law. The steep increase reflects a “pent-up demand” across Georgia, said Gary Long, CEO of Botanical Sciences, one of the state’s medical cannabis producers. Long said that the uptick is encouraging, and he does not expect it to slow down. “We’re in that adoption phase where the word is getting out, and more and more patients are learning about the laws in the state and what they can and can’t do,” Long said Monday. “People are starting to realize that Georgia has evolved its laws, and now if you choose to qualify, and you do qualify, you’re able to get these products as you see fit, from either a dispensary or a pharmacy that is licensed to do so.” Long added that up to 4 percent of people in states with established medical cannabis programs are patients, and with Georgia’s population of nearly 11.5 million, he estimated that 300,000 to 400,000 Georgians could eventually become patients. The new law that went into effect in July eliminated the state’s “low-THC oil” branding and tossed its percentage potency cap, opting for a milligram-based system that is an industry standard. The new framework also allows patients over 21 to purchase products for vaping, but smoking cannabis flower is still prohibited by state law. It also added new qualifying conditions, such as lupus and irritable bowel syndrome, and it gets rid of the requirement that certain conditions, like cancer and AIDS, must be “severe or end stage” to qualify. But the large influx of new patients created a bottleneck for the Department of Public Health (DPH), the agency responsible for verifying and giving patients a medical cannabis card. The agency, which previously took up to a week to verify a patient’s eligibility, is currently experiencing processing times of up to four weeks. “Our team is working diligently to process applications as quickly as possible while ensuring each one is reviewed accurately and in accordance with state requirements. We understand applicants are eager to receive their cards, and we appreciate their patience as we work through this unprecedented volume,” said DPH spokesperson Nancy Shirek. To enroll in Georgia’s medical cannabis program, patients with a qualifying condition must first be evaluated by a DPH-approved doctor. Once evaluated, the doctor submits the patient’s information to the department, which manages the state’s patient registry. After the agency verifies the information, the patient receives a link to pay for their medical cannabis card, which is then shipped to the patient’s address.

“Our focus is to maintain that momentum by implementing the amended Cannabis Act as efficiently as possible.” By Christopher Shea, Rhode Island Current Rhode Island’s Cannabis Control Commission on Friday reopened the application process for prospective retailers after regulators’ first attempt to license more pot shops was halted by a federal court order and voided under a new state law. Gov. Dan McKee (D) on June 10 signed a pair of bills that undo a provision in the original 2022 Rhode Island Cannabis Act that required cannabis retailers be majority-owned by Rhode Island residents, along with kickstarting a new application process within 60 days. They’re changes the state made in order to resolve the trio of federal lawsuits that led to U.S. District Court Judge Melissa DuBose blocking the Cannabis Control Commission from holding the lottery it was planning to hold in May to award licenses. DuBose also stopped regulators from continuing to screen and review any of the 97 retail license applications submitted by the original December 29, 2025, deadline. “Our focus is to maintain that momentum by implementing the amended Cannabis Act as efficiently as possible,” Michelle Reddish, chairperson of the three-member regulatory panel, said in a statement Thursday. The Adult-Use Retail Licensing Portal is now open. Interested in Social Equity Applicant Status Certification? Submit an Interest Form to begin the certification process and review our updated applicant guidance at https://t.co/DZwOPyVORS. pic.twitter.com/MWcBJqTJnc — RI Cannabis Control Commission (@Cannabis_RI) August 7, 2026 Online submissions for the state’s three license types will be accepted through Monday, November 23. Prospective retailers seeking a social equity license, reserved for those adversely affected by the war on drugs, must first receive certification by September 11. The commission’s announcement did not include a timeline for regulators to review applicants nor say when licenses would be awarded. The revised law requires social equity businesses to be majority owned by one or more people who can show they were disproportionately impacted by criminal enforcement of past prohibitions, including being arrested or having a family member who was. Under the 2022 act that legalized recreational cannabis, the commission can offer 24 new licenses to retailers, with six reserved for social equity applicants and another six reserved for worker-owned cooperatives. But not every license type received an application in each of the six geographic zones during the first go, which left regulators with a maximum of 20 licenses to issue across the state. As it stands, nine shops are selling recreational cannabis in Rhode Island under hybrid retail-medicinal licenses grandfathered in from the state’s medical marijuana program. The halt in the state’s first application pool left many would-be business owners continuing to pay rent on storefronts they may not even be able to open. Though they can’t recoup their property costs, the new state law allows those initial applicants to be refunded any fees paid to the commission. All prospective retailers were required to pay an application fee of $7,500 and a yearly $30,000 licensing fee. Fees were waived for the first year for approved social equity applicants. Over half of all applicants—56—sought general retail licenses. Another 19 were worker cooperatives while the remaining 23 were for social equity applicants. Charon Rose, spokesperson for the Cannabis Control Commission, said in an email Friday that refund checks are expected to be issued on a rolling basis beginning next week. She did not state how many of the 75 applicants who paid the original application fee sought refunds. This story was first published by Rhode Island Current.
