"Legislation that sought to ban young adults from accessing most state-legal marijuana products is dead for the session. Members of the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee voted unanimously to reject the bill after its sponsors acknowledged that they had received significant pushback from constituents and businesses.
.
Senate Bill 76 prohibited the sale of cannabis products with more than ten percent THC to those ages 21 to 25. It further sought to impose new restrictions on the amount of THC available per serving and per package for all consumers."

"State lawmakers have approved a resolution asking voters to provide legislators with the exclusive authority to amend state laws specific to the legalization or decriminalization of marijuana and other controlled substances.
.
Lawmakers in both chambers passed House Joint Resolution 4 along party lines. It asks voters to decide next year on the following ballot question: “Shall Section 26, Article III of the Constitution of the State of Idaho be amended to provide that only the Idaho Legislature shall have power and authority to legalize the growing, producing, manufacturing, transporting, selling, delivering, dispensing, administering, prescribing, distributing, possessing, or using of marijuana, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances?”

"An estimated 40 percent of veterans suffering from chronic pain consume cannabis products to mitigate their symptoms, according to survey data published in the journal Global Advances in Integrative Medicine and Health.
.
Forty percent of respondents acknowledged using cannabis products to manage their symptoms. However, the study’s authors suggested that this percentage may reflect under-reporting because cannabis use is discouraged within the Veterans Administration."

"Most commercially available hemp-derived intoxicating products are infused with synthetic cannabinoids, including novel cannabinoids like THCP and HHC, according to an analysis of 104 products by the San Diego/Imperial Counties Joint Labor Management Cannabis Committee.
.
Investigators assessed the composition and potency of 104 distinct products from 68 brands. All the products were available online and delivered to California by the US Postal Service.
.
Researchers determined that 95 percent of the products sampled, including 97 percent of vape products, contained cannabinoids produced through a chemical synthesis rather than naturally extracted from the plant.
.
The study’s authors cautioned that exposure to either synthetic cannabinoids or byproducts produced during the chemical conversion process can pose potential risks to consumers’ health."

Women; Trailblazers In Cannabis
March 19, 2025
.​
"From the beginning, women have played pivotal roles in the cannabis movement, often without due recognition—challenging outdated laws, fighting stigma, protecting people, and helping to build an industry from the ground up. Even dating back to ancient times, evidence proves that female practitioners were often on the forefront of innovating cannabis’ medical applications and finding new uses for the herb in daily life."

"Federal law enforcement officials in 2024 — the last for which data is available — charged fewer than 500 people with marijuana trafficking, according to data provided by the US Sentencing Commission.
.
The total marks a 93% decline in federal marijuana trafficking arrests since 2012, when Colorado and Washington became the first two states to regulate the adult-use marijuana market. Annual data provided by the Sentencing Commission’s Sourcebook on Federal Sentencing Statistics shows that marijuana trafficking arrests have fallen every year since then.
.
The dramatic decline in federal arrests mimics a similar decade-long decline in marijuana seizures at the southern border. In 2023, federal law enforcement agents intercepted a record low 61,000 pounds of marijuana at the border. That figure represents a 98 percent decline in marijuana-related seizure activity since 2013."

Virginia:
Governor Vetoes Adult-Use Marijuana Retail / Guts Medical Access Legislation
March 25, 2025
.​
"Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed legislation today that sought to establish regulations overseeing the adult-use cannabis market in Virginia. Youngkin vetoed similar legislation in 2024.
.
State lawmakers in 2021 enacted legislation legalizing the use, possession, and personal cultivation of marijuana by adults. That legislation called upon lawmakers to authorize licensed cannabis sales by no later than January 1, 2024. However, when Republicans gained control of the House and Governorship in 2022, they failed to advance legislation to do so.
.
According to statewide polling data compiled in 2023, 60 percent of Virginians "support allowing the retail sale of recreational marijuana in Virginia."
.
In his remarks, Gov. Youngkin alleged that jurisdictions with regulated adult-use markets have experienced "significant negative impacts” on mental health and adolescents’ safety.
.
Governor Youngkin previously claimed that states that have legalized marijuana have not disrupted the illicit marketplace."
.​
 
"More than 3,500 applicants are seeking adult-use marijuana business licenses in Minnesota.
.
Though the final regulations for the impending market still require sign-off from a judge, hopeful observers told The Minnesota Star Tribune that the application pool suggests adult-use sales could begin sometime in 2025."
.​
 
"NORML has lobbied Gov. Moore’s administration against imposing the tax hike, opining: “Marylanders already pay a premium tax on retail cannabis products. Raising these taxes even higher will undoubtedly drive prices out of reach for some consumers — thereby undermining the primary goal of legalization, which is to provide adults with safe, affordable, above-ground access to lab-tested products of known purity, potency, and quality. … This proposed tax increase will also hurt state-licensed businesses, many of which have already invested millions of dollars in up-front costs and are still struggling to break even.”

"House lawmakers have rejected plans to include a tax hike on adult-use cannabis sales in the state’s two-year budget proposal.
.
Republican Gov. Mike DeWine weenie[1].gif had called for provisions to be included in the budget raising the sales tax on retail cannabis products from ten percent to 20 percent. The Governor had suggested that the tax increase was necessary to in order to provide additional funding for law enforcement."
