Additionally, Senate Bill 1177 will allow medical cannabis dispensaries to recommend physicians who can prescribe medical cannabis to patients, something current law prohibits. However, a subcommittee of the Senate noted that lawmakers…

420 with CNW — Utah Introduces New Bills to Improve Medical Marijuana Program

Two bills in Utah’s state legislature may bring change to the state’s medical marijuana program. Since the state’s voters passed a bill approving medical marijuana in 2018, the medical program has slowly started progressing. However, it has faced various challenges, which legislators have tried addressing through legislations. One of the legislations follows 2019 research conducted by FOX 13, which discovered that patients who qualify to use medical cannabis find it hard to find doctors who will prescribe it. This has caused many individuals frustration and also allowed the development of specialized medical marijuana clinics, which charge unreasonably high prices because…

420 with CNW — Senate Leaders Have First Meeting to Discuss Cannabis Legalization Plan

The past few years have seen several states legalize recreational or medical cannabis. By 2020, more than 30 states allowed cannabis in various forms, and there was hope that eventually the wave of cannabis reform would reach the federal level. Toward the end of the year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a cannabis decriminalization bill that would definitely have stalled in the then Republican-controlled Senate. However, the Democrats clinched both the House and Senate majority, renewing the hope that one day, cannabis would be legal at the federal level. In late January, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer hosted a…

420 with CNW — Legislators in South Dakota Remain Hopeful about Cannabis Legalization

A circuit judge’s decision to hinder a voter-approved initiative that legalized adult-use cannabis from progressing in South Dakota isn’t discouraging legislators from advancing with a series of marijuana related measures.

Before heading into a strategy meeting with other legislators and lobbyists, Senator Brock Greenfield told reporters that legalizing was still a real possibility and that planning ahead for any situation was the best option.

420 with CNW — South Dakota Circuit Judge Nullifies Cannabis Legalization Measure

A South Dakota circuit judge has rejected an amendment that was approved by voters in the state during the November polls, ruling it as unconstitutional. The judge, who had been appointed by South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem, stated that the change, which would end cannabis prohibition in the state, should not proceed. Judge Christina Klinger supported her ruling by stating that Constitutional Amendment A violated the state’s constitution as it conflicted with the constitution’s language, in addition to defying single subject rule. Pennington County Sheriff Kein Thom and the South Dakota Highway Patrol Superintendent Rick Miller, as well as…

420 with CNW — How Is Marijuana Legalization Impacting Real Estate Prices?

The cannabis industry has come a long way from the days when states that didn’t criminalize the controversial drug were the exception rather than the norm. Now, 36 states have legalized medical use, 15 allow recreational use, and several more are considering cannabis legalization for the future. The road to legalization wasn’t easy, however, with most opponents arguing legalization would increase crime rates as well as cannabis and subsequent drug use among children. Years later, we can see that most of those fears were unfounded. However, although marijuana legalization policies haven’t increased criminal activity or youth drug use, they have…
