Loneliness is another factor influencing consumer interest. In many countries, researchers and policymakers have identified loneliness as a growing social issue. Older adults who have lost spouses, individuals living alone, and people with limited social networks may seek ways to reduce feelings of isolation. While a flat chested sex doll cannot replace genuine human interaction, some owners appreciate the sense of presence and routine that a companion object can provide. The psychological comfort derived from having a familiar presence in the home is frequently cited as a reason for ownership.

I'm usually not the type to write reviews, but this one deserves it. I was in Dehradun for a week-long work trip, dreading the empty evenings. A colleague — yeah, the one you'd never expect — recommended this agency. I booked a Dehradun Call Girl almost hesitantly. Best decision ever. She was intelligent, funny, and surprisingly easy to talk to. We ended up extending our time together because neither of us wanted the evening to end. If you're tired of fake profiles and mechanical encounters, this is your sign to try something real. -

A California Senate committee has approved and Assembly-passed bill that would allow marijuana retailers to offer drive-thru windows to serve customers. The measure, which cleared the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee in a 7-3 vote on Monday, says that licensed cannabis retailers and microbusinesses with storefronts could sell marijuana products “to a customer in a motor vehicle in a drive-through located on the premises.” Under AB 2697 from Assemblymember Gail Pellerin (D), cannabis businesses would need approval from the local jurisdictions in which they operate in order to add the drive-thru option. The sponsor told members of the committee before the latest vote that the bill “will expand access to legal cannabis products while strengthening legal market’s ability to compete with the illicit market.” Annie Aubrey of Chuck’s Wellness Center, a retailer in Placerville, testified that the legislation “is about improving access.” “A significant portion of our customers rely on cannabis as medicine, including seniors, veterans and individuals living with chronic conditions that affect mobility—exactly the population this regulated system is meant to serve,” she said. “For many, even simple tasks like exiting a vehicle or navigating a retail space can be physically difficult or prohibitive… A drive-through option removes that barrier, allowing patients and consumers to access what they need in a way that is dignified and consistent with their health needs.” Amy O’Gorman Jenkins of the California Cannabis Operators Association said the legislation would provide “operational flexibility within a highly regulated system.” “It does not expand who can access cannabis,” she said. “It just allows retailers, with local approval, to serve existing patients and customers in a more efficient manner.” Jenkins also argued that the measure could improve safety. “Today, curbside traction transactions are already permitted. This means employees are regularly required to leave a secured premises while carrying product, and at times cash into parking lots,” she said. “AB 2697 provides an additional mechanism to attain product, but requires a fixed, secure transaction point—keeping employees inside and reducing exposure to theft.” Pellerin, the bill sponsor, previously said that “California cannabis retailers lack a common and accessible transaction path for consumers afforded so many other retailers in California, including fast food, pharmacies, banks and even liquor stores.” “Cannabis consumers who have mobility issues or other disabilities have limited options for being able to obtain cannabis without having to step out of their vehicles. And while home delivery is legal, there are service area restrictions,” she said. “Allowing cannabis retailers to add the consumer-friendly option of a secured drive through, if approved by the local jurisdiction, will enhance the consumer experience, increase safety at cannabis retailers, and help expand California’s legal cannabis marketplace.” The California Narcotic Officers’ Association opposes the proposal, however, with a representative, Ryan Sherman, testifying that it would be harder for dispensary workers to check customers’ IDs for age compliance or to detect signs of current intoxication at drive-thru windows. “This bill prioritizes speed of sale over public safety, while undermining current safeguards designed to prevent illegal sales and protect public safety,” he argued. Under a current policy enacted during the height of the COVID pandemic, dispensaries can already offer curbside pickup. The bill that is advancing in the legislature would mandate that drive-thru sales “shall occur through a fixed-pane security window with a security drawer or similar secure transfer mechanism that is part of a building located within the premises.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), meanwhile, recently took credit for helping to lead the push for the state to legalize marijuana and discussed his own limited experience with using cannabis. In October, however, Newsom vetoed a bill that would have allowed certain marijuana microbusinesses to ship medical cannabis products directly to patients via common carriers like FedEx and UPS, stating that the proposal “would be burdensome and overly complex to administer.” Newsom did sign a bill earlier that month aimed at streamlining research on marijuana and psychedelics. In September, the governor also signed a measure into law to put a pause on a recently enacted tax hike on marijuana products. Separately, the state attorney general says Indian tribes cannot independently engage in marijuana commerce with licensed cannabis businesses without first obtaining their own commercial license from state officials. California officials recently awarded nearly $30 million in grants for marijuana-focused academic research projects.

Top marijuana officials in multiple states are taking steps to make sure that visitors who are in town to watch World Cup games understand local cannabis laws. In Massachusetts, the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) is rolling out a public information campaign to educate soccer fans about where they can legally purchase marijuana, along with reminders about how to celebrate with it responsibly. “Our goal is to make sure both visitors and residents alike avoid committing any dangerous plays this summer while enjoying the festivities surrounding the World Cup by understanding how to consume responsibly,” CCC Chair Chris Harding said in a press release. “The Commission is committed to our public education mandate, so we encourage fans to take advantage of our resources—and in particular MoreAboutMJ.org.” CCC Executive Director Travis Ahern pointed out Massachusetts was the “first state on the East Coast to open adult-use cannabis retail stores in 2018, but legalization is still a novel concept to many nations around the world.” “For those soccer fans who choose to visit the Commonwealth to enjoy the World Cup and experience everything our state has to offer, we hope they will do so safely and responsibly,” he said. Ahead of World Cup matches, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission is rolling out an educational campaign for soccer fans who choose to patronize any of the more than 400 regulated cannabis retail and delivery outlets in the state. Learn more: https://t.co/pyw2tUqfP4 — Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (@MA_Cannabis) June 8, 2026 In New York, the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is similarly putting out public messaging to help make sure tourists who are visiting to watch World Cup matches understand the basics of the state’s marijuana laws, “We certainly don’t want to see any adverse events,” John Kagia, OCM’s executive director, told The New York Post. “It’s really important to access the legal market in a responsible manner,” he said. “Be mindful and respectful and good neighbors. Be discreet. We want fans to be particularly mindful that there are young families with children at these events.” “We have great cannabis products in New York,” Kagia said. “They should not travel with cannabis outside the state.” The post State Marijuana Officials Educate World Cup Fans About How To Celebrate Legally And Responsibly While Visiting appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

Idaho lawmakers have approved ballot language for a proposed constitutional amendment that would prevent voters from ever being able to decide to legalize marijuana via an initiative. The Legislative Council, a bicameral group of lawmakers, voted on Thursday to sign off on a statement of meaning and purpose for the measure, as well as arguments for and against it. If approved in November, the proposal would make it so only lawmakers could legalize cannabis or other controlled substances. Voters could also decide on the same ballot on a separate voter initiative to legalize medical marijuana after organizers last month turned in what they believe are more than enough signatures to qualify the measure. As approved by the panel last week, the statement of meaning and purpose for the measure blocking voters from legalizing marijuana reads: “In Idaho, a law may be passed by either of two methods. The first and more common method is for the Legislature to pass a law. The second, less common method allows the people themselves to pass a law through ballot initiative. This proposed constitutional amendment would give the Legislature exclusive authority to legalize marijuana, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances in the State of Idaho.” The argument in favor of the proposal says: “Drugs destroy lives, tear apart families, and threaten the safety of our communities. Decisions about legalizing marijuana, narcotics, and other psychoactive substances are too important to be made lightly. The proposed amendment would ensure that any proposal to legalize these dangerous substances would go through the legislative process. Public hearings would be held on the proposal, where law enforcement and people whose lives have been damaged by drugs would be able to testify. Legislators would carefully consider each proposal and would be publicly accountable for their votes.” The argument against the measure says: “The Idaho Constitution says that all political power belongs to the people. But the proposed amendment would take power away from the people by getting rid of their ability to pass drug legalization laws on their own through ballot initiatives. The people are as capable of making good, careful decisions about drug policy as legislators are. The amendment is also unnecessary because if the people did ever pass a poorly considered law legalizing drugs, the Legislature would have the power to amend or repeal it.” The proposed constitutional amendment, which would effectively make it illegal for voters to legalize marijuana, was approved by both chambers of the legislature earlier this year. HJR 4 says that “effective immediately upon adoption by the voters of Idaho, only the legislature of the state of Idaho shall have power and authority to legalize the growing, producing, manufacturing, transporting, selling, delivering, dispensing, administering, prescribing, distributing, possessing, or using of marijuana, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances.” If a majority of voters approve the measure on the ballot, it will be added to the state Constitution. The statement and arguments as approved by the Legislative Council last week will now head to the secretary of state, who will include them in a pamphlet that is mailed to every household in the state. At the same time, an Idaho medical marijuana campaign announced last month that it turned in more than 150,000 signatures for a proposed legalization initiative it wants to qualify for the state’s November ballot. County clerks across the state have until June 30 to verify the signatures submitted by the Natural Medicine Alliance of Idaho (NMAI) and report to the secretary of state’s office. At this stage, it’s unclear how many signatures the campaign has collected far are valid and whether activists have met a separate requirement for regional distribution of petitions. To be certified for the ballot, the team needed to submit signatures from at least 6 percent of registered voters as of the state’s last general election, which currently amounts to 70,725. They also needed to meet that 6 percent threshold in at least 18 of the state’s 35 legislative districts. While NMAI has pursued ballot access, Idaho lawmakers have pushed back. In addition the proposed constitutional amendment, both the Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution this session urging voters to “reject” the medical marijuana petition. The measure, sponsored by the Senate State Affairs Committee, claims that cannabis legalization in other states has led to a host of harms, including “increased cartel activity, development of black market marijuana production, human trafficking, and increased crime rates” as well as “increased rates of serious health issues,” environmental harms and “safety concerns on job sites.” It argues that the marijuana initiative would not only increase costs to the state but that its list of approved medical conditions is “so broad that almost anyone could qualify.” “The Idaho Medical Cannabis Act lacks safeguards to such an extent that it would effectively legalize widespread recreational use of marijuana,” the resolution claims. “The legalization of marijuana would have devastating impacts on Idaho children and their families… The Legislature urges the citizens of Idaho to reject any effort to bring the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act to the ballot.” A statement of purpose filed with the legislation says it “addresses the devastating impact that legalizing marijuana has had on other states” and “identifies the significant problems” with the ballot initiative. Contrary to the claims made about marijuana reform in the legislative resolution, advocates often point to data showing that legalizing and regulating cannabis diminishes the size of the illegal market and has not led to increases in youth use. Meanwhile, NMAI recently released an analysis showing that Idaho could see more than $100 million worth of medical marijuana sold on an annual basis and up to $28 million in new yearly revenue for state coffers if voters approve the legalization initiative. The Idaho Medical Cannabis Act, which NMAI unveiled last October, would provide patients with qualifying conditions access to marijuana from a limited number of dispensaries and provide a regulatory framework for the market. Here are the main provisions of the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act: Health practitioners would be able to recommend medical cannabis to patients with conditions that include, but are not limited to, cancer, anxiety and acute pain. Medical marijuana patients or their designated caregiver could purchase up to 113 grams of smokeable cannabis, or 20 grams of THC extract for vaping, per month. The state would be start by issuing three vertically integrated cannabis business licenses, after which point it could license up to six total. Marijuana would be reclassified under state law as a Schedule II, rather than Schedule I, controlled substance. State and local law enforcement would be barred from assisting in federal drug enforcement activities related to the state-legal cannabis program. There would be anti-discrimination protections for those who use or sell marijuana in compliance from state law, preventing adverse actions by employers, landlords and educational institutions. It does not appear that there would be any equity-centered reforms, nor would the initiative provide for a home grow option. “We believe Idahoans deserve access to legal, compassionate, natural care right here at home,” NMAI’s website says. “Our mission is to give patients a legal pathway to natural medicine that can ease suffering and restore dignity without the fear of addiction.” “The Idaho Medical Cannabis Act is our first step forward. It creates a safe, tightly regulated medical program that allows qualified Idahoans to seek medical cannabis treatment with a valid diagnosis from a healthcare provider,” it says. “It supports Idaho agriculture, generates tax revenue to reinvest locally, and ensures that patients can find natural relief.” The campaign in February also released the results of a statewide poll showing that 83 percent of likely voters back medical cannabis legalization, including 74 percent of Republicans, 95 percent of Democrats and 92 percent of independents. Asked how they would vote if the current medical cannabis legalization does appear on the November ballot, 76 percent of respondents said “yes.” Of that cohort, 50 percent said they would “definitively” vote yes, and just 21 percent said they’d vote “no.” After the medical cannabis initiative was unveiled last year, a separate campaign that launched in 2024, Kind Idaho, told supporters that it would be suspending its own signature gathering for a ballot initiative to legalize the personal possession and cultivation of marijuana by adults. Kind Idaho previously introduced medical marijuana ballot measures intended to go before voters in both the 2022 and 2024 elections, but the efforts proved unsuccessful. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

“With rescheduling, it is possible that medical cannabis operations might have similar success filing a chapter 11 in the near future.” By Michael Brandess and Steve Levine, Husch Blackwell LLP The cannabis business can be challenging. Margins are often pretty thin. Customers are fickle. And taxes are pretty high. While other industries have similar problems, until the recent rescheduling of medical marijuana, the industry had been completely frozen out of U.S. bankruptcy courts because it was federally illegal, and bankruptcy law is federal law. To some extent, however, that recently changed. On March 24, The Cannabist Company Holdings (Canada) Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries commenced proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) in Canada, which has similarities to Chapter 11 under U.S. bankruptcy law. The next day, Cannabist initiated a Chapter 15 bankruptcy proceeding in the District of Delaware. The Cannabist Chapter 15 is the first instance of an operating U.S. cannabis business successfully availing itself of U.S. bankruptcy protections, albeit indirectly through the Canadian proceeding and without the full menu of benefits typically available to companies undergoing Chapter 11. Chapter 15 of the U.S. bankruptcy code allows for “recognition” of cross-border insolvency proceedings. Recognition occurs when a company undergoing an insolvency proceeding in a foreign country (e.g., Canada) has assets in the U.S. Chapter 15 allows that company to open an ancillary proceeding in which U.S. bankruptcy courts can grant judicial comity to the reorganization or liquidation ongoing in the foreign country. There was a meaningful question at the onset of Cannabist’s filing as to whether Bankruptcy Judge Brendan Shannon would “recognize” the chapter 15, as U.S. bankruptcy law grants him authority to refuse recognition of the foreign proceeding. That would have left Cannabist’s U.S. subsidiaries exposed to considerable and near-immediate creditor collection activity. But with minimal creditor pushback, the judge quickly granted provisional relief, previewing his inclination to allow the proceeding to move forward. On May, he entered a final order granting recognition and implementing a sweeping stay against creditor collection activity. Although a cannabis business utilizing a complicated restructuring process inclusive of U.S. bankruptcy law is exciting for a particularly narrow subset of people, the business implications are far-reaching. Over the past few years, numerous U.S. cannabis businesses have suffered considerable financial distress. Companies like Schwazze, MedMen, PharmaCann, AYR Wellness and others have undergone receiverships, foreclosures or comprehensive restructurings with their lenders. Many of those businesses had Canadian affiliates or parent companies, and it’s likely that Cannabist will provide a roadmap for similarly situated entities in the future. To appreciate the implications of the Cannabist Chapter 15, it’s important to understand what cannabis companies have been missing. Business bankruptcy often carries a negative connotation. It is psychologically correlated with financial ruin and business failure. And while financial distress is often attendant to bankruptcy, it is only part of the story. U.S. bankruptcy law is intended to provide troubled companies with a breathing spell from their creditors to allow for reorganization or an organized wind down. This breathing spell comes in the form of an “automatic stay,” which is effectively an injunction preventing creditors from seeking collection of their debts or landlords and contract counterparties from terminating their leases and contracts during the bankruptcy proceeding. But U.S. bankruptcy cases are federal proceedings. The cases are overseen by federal judges rather than those elected or appointed in the individual states. U.S. bankruptcy law is federal law, although it incorporates state law in certain instances. But there is good reason to think that the federal government is taking a different approach to cannabis than it has in the past. In December 18, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to expedite the reclassification of marijuana. The resulting rescheduling move undertaking by the Department of Justice immediately pertains to medical, not recreational, cannabis; and accordingly, not all facets of the industry will enjoy the benefits of this regulatory change for now. Even after rescheduling of medical marijuana, adult-use marijuana is still federally illegal as a Schedule I substance. Accordingly, cannabis businesses in the U.S. have previously been precluded from obtaining bankruptcy relief. When they have tried in the past, DOJ’s bankruptcy watchdog, the U.S. Trustee, has zealously, and in most cases successfully, opposed cannabis businesses from obtaining U.S. bankruptcy protection. In addition to being deprived of U.S. bankruptcy relief, cannabis businesses have also largely been restricted from obtaining standard bank loans. Many U.S. banks won’t risk lending to federally illegal businesses. As such, the cost of capital for most cannabis businesses (e.g., interest rates and other fees) has been higher than for non-cannabis businesses. And despite continued market growth, profit margins are squeezed by operational challenges, significant regulatory compliance costs and heightened tax burdens at the state and federal levels. Compressed profit margins for certain operators mean low margins for error without the risk of loan defaults and liquidity problems. And so, when cannabis businesses have had trouble in the past, unlike most U.S. businesses, they have had to seek alternative means of reorganizing their businesses or liquidating their assets. For instance, MedMen had operations across the country. A non-cannabis company with a footprint similar to MedMen would typically have sought chapter 11 bankruptcy relief because a federal court in one state could oversee the reorganization or liquidation of assets across the country. But MedMen, like many before and after, filed a receivership in California, necessitating a more complicated winddown process. The U.S. cannabis industry enjoys more than $30 billion in annual revenues and maintains tens of thousands of jobs. From a corporate insolvency perspective, businesses in this industry deserve the same opportunity afforded to non-cannabis businesses to turnaround and restructure their companies. Patchwork regulations between states and federal half-measures, such as rescheduling for a subset of the industry, create considerable confusion for multistate and cross-border operators. Companies in distress need as much certainty as possible. While the Cannabist development does not provide complete access to U.S. bankruptcy law, it is a meaningful step forward. Following Cannabist, there is now a backdoor to U.S. bankruptcy courts for companies with foreign parent companies or affiliates. It is another potential lifeline for businesses with similar corporate and financial structures as Cannabist. Additionally, with rescheduling, it is possible that medical cannabis operations might have similar success filing a chapter 11 in the near future. But alas, these attorneys can only hope for so much excitement at one time. Steve Levine is a partner and leader of the Financial Services & Capital Markets industry group and co-leads the national Cannabis practice at Husch Blackwell LLP, focused on guiding MSOs, investors and entrepreneurs through complex transactions and strategic growth initiatives in the cannabis industry. Michael Brandess is a corporate restructuring partner at Husch Blackwell LLP, helping businesses, their owners and their creditors manage the complexities associated with financial distress and bankruptcy law.

Federal marijuana trafficking cases fell to another record-low in 2025, with a new report from the U.S. Sentencing Commission (USSC) revealing a continued trend amid the expanding state-level reform movement that has given consumers more places to buy legal cannabis. A recently published USSC fact sheet on drug prosecution trends shows just 383 federal cannabis trafficking cases in the last fiscal year. That marks a decline from the 471 cases reported in 2024. More broadly, USSC said, marijuana trafficking prosecutions have dropped 62 percent from fiscal year 2021 to 2025. Shifting federal priorities, which seem to have coincided with state-level marijuana reform efforts, have gradually pushed cannabis near the bottom of the list of drug trafficking cases. The 383 cases from last year stands in stark contrast to the nearly 3,500 cannabis trafficking cases that were reported in 2015. Just two years before that, in 2013, the marijuana prosecutions amounted to approximately 5,000. Colorado and Washington State became the first two states to approve recreational marijuana legalization in 2012. Methamphetamine trafficking cases have dominated the list over the past decade, the USSC document published last month shows. In 2024, cases targeting fentanyl took over as the second most common drug trafficking target, followed by crack cocaine and powder cocaine. The number of heroin trafficking cases (356) was marginally lower than marijuana last year. A separate USSC data tool shows that the number of people sentenced in federal courts for drug trafficking or possession involving marijuana has declined from 5,554 in 2015 to just 400 last year. Advocates for cannabis legalization have long argued that providing access to regulated marijuana markets for adults would drive down demand for unlicensed products, translating into less illegal trafficking and fewer arrests for illicit production and sales. The latest USSC data continues to reinforce that argument by illustrating a gradual decline in federal cannabis trafficking cases as more states have enacted legalization. USSC’s 2025 Sourcebook of Federal Sentencing Statistics, published in April, separately notes that of all federal drug cases last year—for manufacture, sale and transportation—cannabis accounted for about 2.4 percent. Criminal sentences were also lowest for marijuana among all drug trafficking cases, averaging 44 months—representing an increase from the average 36 months in last year’s report. Via USSC. Notably, federal guidelines from USSC advising judges to treat prior marijuana possession offenses more leniently officially took effect in late 2023. Federal judges have historically been directed to take into account prior convictions as aggravating factors when making sentencing decisions in new cases. But as more states have moved to legalize marijuana, advocates had pushed for the updated guidelines to make it so that a person’s cannabis record didn’t necessarily add criminal history points that could lead to enhanced sentences. USSC also released a report in 2023 showing that hundreds of people received more serious federal prison sentences in the prior fiscal year because of cannabis possession convictions in states that have since reformed their marijuana laws. What remains to be seen is whether recent changes in federal marijuana laws under the Trump administration will translate into further declines in cannabis-related prosecutions. The Justice Department last month moved medical cannabis authorized under state programs from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), and that reclassification could be expanded depending on the outcome of a pending administrative hearing process. Meanwhile, a coalition of Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate are pushing President Donald Trump to commute the sentences of people who are still serving time in federal prison for marijuana. The move, they say, is a logical next step amid the rescheduling actions. For what it’s worth, marijuana arrests are driving the overall war on drugs in states where cannabis remains illegal, according to a 2025 NORML analysis of FBI data. And most of those busts are for simple possession. Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in 2024, meanwhile, showed that seizures of cannabis at southern border declined again in 2023, as the state marijuana legalization movement continued to expand.

Support our work at https://www.patreon.com/marijuanamoment / TOP THINGS TO KNOW The White House Office of Management and Budget is urging Congress to “update the statutory definition of final hemp-derived cannabinoid products to allow Americans to benefit from access to appropriate full-spectrum CBD products” while restricting “products that pose serious health risks.” The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies approved a funding bill blocking federal workers’ compensation programs from covering medical cannabis—”regardless of any change in the scheduling of marijuana.” A coalition of anti-marijuana groups and a cannabis-focused biopharmaceutical corporation are appealing the dismissal of their lawsuit challenging a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services plan to cover hemp products for eligible patients to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Virginia lawmakers and Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) have had “very fruitful” conversations about a compromise approach to legalizing recreational cannabis sales that could pass this month as part of budget legislation, a key lawmaker told Marijuana Moment. A spokesperson for the governor told Marijuana Moment that she “looks forward to moving this across the finish line together” with the sponsors of earlier cannabis commercialization legislation she vetoed. The Michigan House Families and Veterans Committee held a hearing on a bill to create an ibogaine grant program to support research on whether the psychedelic is effective in treating substance use disorder and other mental health conditions—using $50 million in opioid settlement funds. Missouri Republican lawmakers are hopeful that President Donald Trump’s recent psychedelics executive order boosts efforts in the state to allow military veterans to get therapeutic access to psilocybin and ibogaine. / FEDERAL Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in response to a hemp question from Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN) at a hearing that they should meet to discuss the issue. / STATES Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed a bill to revise how marijuana tax revenue is allocated. New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) signed a bill allowing large-size hemp drinks and letting medical cannabis dispensaries add recreational sales without local approval. Iowa Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand said revenue from legalizing marijuana could help avert a “fiscal time bomb” the state is facing. Kansas Republican gubernatorial candidates agreed on opposition to legalizing medical cannabis during a debate. A Texas court stayed an injunction on hemp product restriction rules, allowing them to go into effect pending ongoing litigation. Hawaii regulators are being sued over hemp product restrictions.
