420 with CNW — What Indiana Residents Need to Know Before Buying Cannabis in Illinois

America's state-legal cannabis industry can be quite confusing. Presently, more than 30 states have legalized medical marijuana while 17 states have launched recreational cannabis markets. Each of these states has different cannabis rules, and what's legal in one state could very well get you incarcerated in another state. This patchwork of cannabis regulations has made operating in the marijuana sector especially risky for cannabis tourists who travel to states with legal cannabis markets in order to purchase cannabis. Take Indiana, for example, which has outlawed recreational cannabis use and has no provisions for medical cannabis. It is one of the…

420 with CNW — Poll Reaffirms Campaign Group’s Drive to Reform Medical Cannabis Laws in Michigan

A recently conducted poll has found that most voters in the state of Michigan support medical cannabis being regulated at the same standards as recreational cannabis; the majority is also in favor of new laws. More than a decade ago in 2008, voters in the state passed a medical cannabis measure that established state-registered cannabis growers who could offer marijuana to their state-registered patients. The poll was conducted by the Michigan Cannabis Manufacturers Association ("MCMA"), which has supported various legislations that would change the state’s medical cannabis laws. This organization is made up of some of the biggest commercial businesses…

420 with CNW — Does Diet Impact CBD Absorption?

Barely a year after cannabidiol (“CBD”) was legalized via the 2018 Farm Bill, millions of people were clamoring to use it. Extracted from industrial hemp, cannabidiol is thought to have a wide variety of medical applications. Although research into its purported medical abilities is still scant, people have been using it to relieve pain, anxiety and skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, among others. In addition, a few years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the use of a CBD-based formulation called Epidiolex to treat seizures caused by Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. With researchers trying…

420 with CNW — House Committee Approves Provision Removing Ban on Education Tax Credit for Drug Convicts

Last week, the House Ways and Means committee passed a budget reconciliation legislation that contains a provision to remove a ban which hinders individuals with drug convictions from using education-related tax credits. The committee agreed to remove the restriction, which prevents people with felony drug convictions at the federal or state level from claiming the American Opportunity Tax Credit. Individuals are currently allowed to claim this tax benefit for expenses paid for course materials, fees and tuition for higher learning. The provision was enacted in 2009. Rep. Danny Davis has been calling for an end to it, with Sen. Chris…

The results show that the use of cannabis last year continued to rise, as observed in previous years, with the use of hallucinogens such…

420 with CNW — 80 Leading Law Enforcement Officials Call on Supreme Court to Take on Safe Drug Injection Case

America’s response to the drug-abuse epidemic has been woefully inefficient and, according to most experts, counterproductive. Since 1999, nearly 841,000 people have died from a drug overdose, and the country’s choice to address drug abuse and addiction as a criminal issue rather than a health matter has only exacerbated the problem. As it is widely acknowledged that the war on drugs was an unmitigated failure, drug-reform experts have proposed numerous public health-focused solutions that would see individuals suffering from drug addiction are given the proper medical care they deserve. One of these solutions has been quite controversial and faces an…
