420 with CNW — DOJ Report Says Federal Cannabis Arrests Continue to Decline Annually

According to new data released by the U.S. Department of Justice, federal arrests connected to marijuana have continued to plummet each year as states continue reforming their cannabis laws and creating markets for this substance. The report says that the number of people arrested by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has registered an annual 11% decline from 2010. In that year, a total of 8,215 arrests connected to marijuana charges were made by the federal agency. However, the figure has dropped over time to the 2,576 arrests on record in 2020. It isn’t immediately clear which specific factors are behind…

420 with CNW — Georgia Voters Endorse Ballot Question on Cannabis Legalization

Earlier last week, voters in the state of Georgia approved the language of a ballot measure expressing support for the legalization of adult-use marijuana. Democratic Party leadership in the state placed a number of nonbinding advisory questions on the primary election ballot to help inform lawmakers on where residents in the state stood on various issues, including cannabis legalization. The question on legalization asked residents whether cannabis needed to be legalized, regulated and taxed in the same manner as alcohol for individuals aged 21 and above, with proceeds from its sale being directed toward health care, infrastructure and education programs.…

420 with CNW — Study Says Cannabis Legalization Has Drastically Changed Marijuana Advertising

A recent study has concluded that the cannabis legalization wave sweeping across states and countries has triggered “drastic changes” in the way marijuana is advertised on Instagram. The research found that women are now more noticeable as “marijuana influencers,” and they drive cannabis marketing by posting about the way marijuana can be incorporated in one’s lifestyle. This study is in stark contrast to pre-legalization years in which men where the more expected face of advertising illicit marijuana. The profiles of marijuana influencers now are also authentic, while those of the previous lot of marketers were anonymous or almost identifiable as…

The National Institute on Drug Abuse is seeking new partners that can supply cannabis for study purposes. Last week, the federal drug agency posted a notice on its website for organizations authorized by the DEA to grow marijuana that could acquire or produce marijuana and related materials for research. Before the DEA recently ended the University of Mississippi’s monopoly on cannabis supply and agreed to approve new licenses, the National Institute on Drug Abuse had only a single supplier of marijuana for research. While the agency hasn’t stated how many suppliers it needs, it has listed the criteria for a…

420 with CNW — VA Declines Certifying a Veteran’s Hemp Because of Marijuana’s Federal Status

Last week, the Department of Veterans Affairs rejected an application made by a veteran requesting that his hemp product firm be recognized. In its denial letter, the department stated that the department could not endorse the business because it was involved in products derived from the same genus of the marijuana plant, which would give the impression that a federal agency was endorsing the plant. This rejection highlights the confusion around hemp’s legal status, which is defined as cannabis sativa L., and its derivatives, which contain less than 0.3% THC under U.S. law. Marijuana products with higher THC concentrations are…

420 with CNW — Appeals Court Says Delta-8 THC Federally Legal

According to a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel, products containing delta-8 THC are legal under federal law. The court ruled that the 2018 farm bill was clear and only restricted delta-9 THC to no more than 0.3% of a product on a dry-weight basis. The panel of three judges agreed unanimously that the law doesn’t mention anything about delta-8 THC, so one cannot claim that the substance is illegal under the 2018 farm bill. Delta-9 THC, commonly called THC, is the most plentiful of all cannabinoids and it is responsible for the “high” that marijuana users experience. This substance…
