Happy New Year and welcome to the first Weekly Legislative Roundup of 2019! The new Congress was just sworn in yesterday, and they are not wasting any time. U.S. Reps. Steve Cohen (D-TN) and Don Young (R-AK) re-introduced the Compassionate Access, Research Expansion and Respect States (CARERS) Act, which protects those engaged in state-lawful medical marijuana programs from federal prosecution.

Downtown Vancouver’s Main Street Marijuana has consistently held an unbeatable lead as the state’s highest-selling recreational cannabis store, and it’s quickly approaching a major milestone: passing $100 million in total lifetime sales. The store’s owners expect to cross the threshold on Jan. 15 or 16. “We’re the first one in the state to do it,” says Adam Hamide, one of the store’s three co-owners.

Just fewer than two years since insisting it was a “gateway drug,” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is singing a different tune regarding the legalization of cannabis for recreational use in The Empire State. “It’s a gateway drug, and marijuana leads to other drugs and there’s a lot of proof that that’s true,” Governor Cuomo said in February of 2017. “There’s two sides to the argument.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

As Illinois lawmakers continue to consider input from various stakeholders for legislation that would legalize the possession and use of marijuana for adults 21 and up in 2019, some advocates are feeling left out of the process. This is especially concerning because the majority reside in communities that have been devastated by marijuana prohibition.

Hola 2019! Here’s to 365 days to plant new seeds and harvest what has been planted years prior. In regards to the cannabis plant, Uruguay planted the seeds in Latin America. In December 2013, Uruguay became the first country to legalize cannabis nationwide for medical and non-medical purposes. Now five years later and those seeds have grown throughout the region.

It’s no secret: smoking cigarettes is now considered a nasty habit that most people would prefer to break, if it just weren’t so darned addicting. Telling someone who is addicted to cigarettes to just quit is not as simple as it sounds – an addiction is a habit in both the body and that brain that must be conquered. However, there are now alternatives to smoking cigarettes that can help you overcome the craving in both your mind and body that will ultimately let you kick that nasty habit o

The first state to legalize marijuana for medical use was California. In 1996, voters passed the Compassionate Use Act, and over the past two decades, it has seen a lot of changes and structure within its cannabis laws. In 2016, voters finally got the Adult Use of Marijuana Act passed for recreational cannabis. California Marijuana rules and regulations have a significant influence on how other states regulate and control cannabis for their medical and recreational sales.

Two years later — where are we now? There are now over 150,000 patients licensed to use medical marijuana in the state of Florida. Most of the wave of incoming leaders after our recent midterm elections, at the state and federal level, support expanding access to medical marijuana.
