420 with CNW – Florida Moves to Regulate the Potency of Smokable Medical Cannabis

Barely a month ago, Gov. DeSantis signed a bill to allow patients to smoke medical marijuana after protracted legal battles which ended when court ruled that banning smokable marijuana was unconstitutional. Now a bill to regulate the strength of the smokable medical marijuana has been passed by a House committee amidst protests by medical cannabis advocates. On Wednesday (April 3), the Health and Human Services Committee decided that the THC content of the marijuana flower that patients wish to smoke should not exceed 10 percent.

420 with CNW – Georgia on the Verge of Legalizing Medical Cannabis

The state assembly in Georgia has passed a bill that will allow medical marijuana to be grown and processed within the state.

However, that law didn’t create any provision for the cultivation, sale or possession of cannabis oil within Georgia. The bill that has…

As the cannabis market matures in different jurisdictions within the U.S., producers are fine-tuning their products in order to make those products more appealing to different segments of the market.
