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. Defendants legally challenging…

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.

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…

420 with CNW — New Congressional Bill Could Allow CBD, Hemp to Be Sold as Dietary Supplements

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp and hemp extracts, including cannabidiol (“CBD”), spawning what would soon be one of the most popular health and wellness ingredients in a long time.

420 with CNW — How to Determine CBD Serving Sizes

Wise users of CBD try to be as exact as they possibly can when it comes to CBD doses. However, users should keep in mind that since cannabinoids are plants, they may tend go a little overboard if they don’t focus on the results of the quantity taken instead of the number of milligrams in a dose. In addition, with wide variability also being considered, it’s safe to assume that the dose for one product may not be as effective as a similar dose of another product. Users who are just starting out with cannabinoids, or CBD, or who are…

420 with CNW — Highlights from Arizona’s 2020 End-of-Year Marijuana Report

The State of Arizona Department of Health Services recently released its 2020 end-of-year report. It came as no surprise that, for the eighth year in a row, medical cannabis sales rose significantly. According to the report, Arizonans bought 106 tons of marijuana products from dispensaries this year. Many predict that this number this will only increase in 2021, largely due to the fact that it is now legal for adults to purchase recreational marijuana in the state. This legislative change went into effect on Jan. 22, 2021. Between recreational marijuana and medical marijuana, dispensary firms in the state plan on…
