A majority of Americans support legalizing cannabis, at least for medical purposes, and the numbers show it.

According to a poll undertaken shortly after the ruling went public, Mississippi voters are in favor of impeaching the judges who overturned the medical marijuana ballot initiative.

420 with CNW — How the State of New York Plans to Tax Marijuana

Last month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo approved a legislation legalizing marijuana and its possession for individuals aged 21 and above in the states.

420 with CNW — CBD Firm’s Appeal Could Allow Cannabis, Psychedelics Companies to Get Trademarks Before Legalization

The 2018 farm bill legalized industrial hemp, which is a nonpsychoactive version of cannabis, and its derivatives for cultivation and sale. The law stipulated that, as long as individuals had official approval from their states or tribes, they could cultivate hemp and sell it for use in everything from textiles and clothing to concentrates. Thanks to the federal status of hemp and cannabis, businesses in the space cannot trademark their products — but this may soon change. A CBD company that recently fell afoul of this regulation is now appealing, and if the company wins, the ruling could have implications…
