Voters in Washington state chose to legalize recreational cannabis a decade ago, opening the state up to a multibillion-dollar industry that has seen significant growth in just a few short years. But, even though the adult-use cannabis industry has proven to be quite lucrative with retailers in Washington state selling around $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion worth of cannabis in 2022, the industry is not without its challenges. A decade after legalizing recreational cannabis sales, Washington’s cannabis industry still faces a myriad of problems that have prevented the space from fully realizing its potential.

420 with CNW — Federally Financed Study Finds Cannabis Legalization Doesn’t Increase Use Among Teens

The cannabis industry has proven to be extremely lucrative, generating billions of dollars in taxes and creating hundreds of thousands of job opportunities. For the past two decades, states across the country have passed legalization measures and allowed cannabis sales to cash in on the profits. More than 20 states now allow adults aged 21 and over to purchase and consume recreational cannabis at registered retailers. However, efforts to legalize the controversial plant were regularly met with resistance from critics who argued that legalizing cannabis sales would significantly escalate drug use among the youth and lead to increased criminal activity.…

420 with CNW — NY Selects Companies to Construct Social Equity Cannabis Business Premises

America’s state-level cannabis reform movement has put plenty of consideration into ensuring that individuals from marginalized communities are given a chance to participate in the billion-dollar industry. It’s no secret that the war on drugs, and cannabis policing to be more specific, had a disproportionately negative effect on members of Black and Brown communities. Black people are much more likely to be arrested and receive harsher sentences for cannabis offenses compared to white people despite similar use rates. Social equity provisions in marijuana legalization bills were meant to give individuals from these communities a leg up in the industry and…

America’s cannabis industry may be one of the fastest-growing industries in the country, but players in the sector often have to deal with a variety of limitations due to federal prohibitions. For instance, cannabis businesses are largely unable to access financial services even though they generate billions of dollars in taxes. The industry is also wholly excluded from financial assistance from the federal government because cannabis trade is considered illegal at the federal level. As a result, businesses in the sector were unable to access federal financial assistance during the coronavirus pandemic even though cannabis was deemed an essential product…
