420 with CNW — Federal Report Says Youth Cannabis Use Stable Despite State-Level Legalization

Most opponents of cannabis reform had one argument against pro-cannabis legislation: passing state-level recreational cannabis bills would inevitably lead to increased use among the youth. They argued that marijuana was a gateway drug and that by making the controversial plant more accessible, states would see their youth use marijuana and other “hard drugs” at much higher rates. However, most studies have found the situation on the ground to be entirely different, with rates of youth use in states with recreational cannabis markets remaining the same and, in some cases, even going down. A recent federal report from the U.S. Department…

420 with CNW — Smokable Medical Cannabis Bill Enacted into Law in Minnesota

Although more than 30 states have passed legislation allowing the use of marijuana for medical purposes, the language in each of these medical cannabis bills varies widely. But one provision that several of these states share is a ban against smokable medical marijuana, forcing qualified patients to use other forms of consumption such as oils and tinctures. In Minnesota, however, patients will soon be able to access smokable medical cannabis after the governor signed a large-scale bill that expanded the state's medical marijuana program. Among other things, this bill includes provisions that grant medical marijuana patients access to smokable products.…
