420 with CNW — Colorado House Passes Bill Increasing Marijuana Possession Limit

The state of Colorado established an adult-use cannabis market in 2014, becoming the second state to do so. Despite this, the state’s program is still evolving, with its governor recently signing a bill that would establish a social equity fund for the marijuana industry, and the state assembly approving a bill to increase the cannabis possession limit. Last week, Gov. Jared Polis visited a cannabis dispensary in Denver to sign an initiative that would create a program in the Office of Economic Development and International Trade in the state, whose role would be to support marijuana businesses owned by individuals…

420 with CNW — How Data Analytics Is Proving Invaluable in the Marijuana Industry

After decades of prohibition, marijuana is finally legal in some form in more than 30 states. The industry has made impressive progress, creating thousands of job opportunities and providing states with millions of dollars in much-needed tax revenue. With Democrats now controlling the Senate, House and White House, the country may see lawmakers pass federal cannabis legislation in the next few years, removing most of the roadblocks that have kept the industry from advancing and ensuring its growth. Aside from access to financial service, one factor that will redefine the industry as it grows and matures is data analytics (“DA”).…

420 with CNW — Delaware Legislators Introduce Bill to Legalize Marijuana

States that have legalized cannabis have seen lots of benefits, including the creation of thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue. On top of that, most states have also focused on social equity, expunging the records of people with prior nonviolent cannabis-related convictions and giving individuals affected by the failed war on drugs a leg up in their respective cannabis industries. That is what a bill recently introduced by Delaware lawmakers seeks to achieve, despite the fact that the state governor isn’t a fan of recreational marijuana. The legislation would create a regulated cannabis market in the…

420 with CNW — Florida Legislators Consider Limiting Potency of Medical Cannabis

A legislation whose objective is to limit the amount of THC found in medical marijuana may soon advance to the house floor, despite opposition from medical professionals. Republican Rep. Spencer Roach, who sponsored the legislation, stated that the goal of House Bill 1455 was to regulate the medical marijuana industry in the state of Florida. The bill would not only impose advertising restrictions on physicians who administer medical marijuana but also limit the amount of marijuana a treatment center could dispense over a particular period of time. One provision in the measure that seems to be drawing the most resistance…

420 with CNW — Key Congressman Reveals Cannabis Banking Will Be Handled Before Legalization Is Considered

America’s state-legal cannabis industry has had quite a run, creating thousands of job opportunities, providing states with millions of dollars in tax revenue, and changing the lives of thousands of individuals with prior cannabis-related offenses. Despite achieving so much in a relatively short time, the sector has a lot stacked against it due to its status as a controlled substance at the federal level. One major challenge the industry has faced so far is lack of access to financial services, as banks and lending institutions shy away from working with cannabis businesses. According to a Congressman who has been an…
