/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
Rumors about an imminent federal action on cannabis are swirling, but a Biden
administration official told Marijuana Moment on Tuesday that they would “wave
off” the speculation that anything will be announced this week.
A new Gallup poll shows that Americans are more likely to smoke cannabis than
cigarettes—with young people between the ages of 18 and 34 being more than five
times more likely to use marijuana than cigarettes.
* “Americans’ reported marijuana smoking has more than doubled since 2013.”
Vice President Kamala Harris cited President Joe Biden’s mass marijuana pardon
as an example of actions the administration is taking to appeal to young and
Black voters—saying that “nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) used his budget address to call on lawmakers
to send him a marijuana legalization bill—saying he’s “sick and tired of losing
to friggin’ Ohio” and other neighboring states that have enacted the reform
already.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is so frustrated with the slow launch of the
state’s recreational marijuana market that she’s “looking at opportunities to
make major changes” to the leadership of state cannabis regulatory bodies.
The Indiana Senate passed a bill to create a state fund to support research on
using psilocybin to treat military veterans and first responders with PTSD,
anxiety, depression, chronic pain and other conditions. The Democratic minority
leader filed an amendment that would have created a medical cannabis program,
but didn’t force a vote on it.
Bipartisan California lawmakers filed a bill to legalize psychedelic service
centers where people could access psilocybin, MDMA, mescaline and DMT in a
supervised environment with trained facilitators.
The Alaska Senate Labor and Commerce Committee held a hearing on a bill to
create a Mental Health and Psychedelic Medicine Task Force that would be charged
with recommending frameworks for legalization and possible licensure for
therapeutic practitioners.
The New Mexico Senate voted to allow marijuana drive-thrus to continue
operating, with one lawmaker saying his local police chief told him there have
been no problems associated with the cannabis dispensary windows.
The Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management plans to ask lawmakers to close a
loophole in the state’s marijuana laws that allows sales of high-potency flower
billed as “hemp” to go unregulated.
/ FEDERAL
National Institute on Drug Abuse Director Nora Volkow acknowledged that “there
are people that are able to recover and yet they are not absolutely free of
every substance.”
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) tweeted, “Even if you live in a state where
marijuana has been legalized or decriminalized, we still need marijuana to be
legalized at the federal level. That’s why my Democratic colleagues and I called
on the DEA to fully deschedule marijuana.”
Rep. Andrea Salinas (D-OR) is being accused of potentially receiving “an illegal
prohibited contribution” from a marijuana business.
The House marijuana banking bill got one new cosponsor for a total of 99.
/ STATES

Alaska regulators are proposing changes to rules on marijuana special
investigator hiring standards.
Rhode Island regulators published guidance on marijuana curbside pickup.
Montana regulators published guidance on synthetic cannabinoid products.
Vermont regulators posted guidance about marijuana business license renewals.
The Colorado Department of Transportation conducted a study on the
marijuana-impaired driving behaviors of Generation Z.
Minnesota officials increased the pay scale for the state’s top marijuana
regulator.

treatment provider expand its work.
Wyoming regulators posted a list of licensed hemp businesses.
