A cannabis multistate operator challenging federal marijuana prohibition plans to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court after it was dismissed by a lower federal court. This is the only venue that can overturn a 2005 Supreme Court decision upholding federal bans on the drug, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Mastroianni ruled on Monday. Darren Weiss, president of Verano Holdings Corp. and one of the plaintiffs, called the decision a “great result.” He posted on X (formerly Twitter), “We’re taking this all the way to the Supreme Court!” #cannabisnews #supremecourt #cannabisreform

Challenging the status quo, a new federal court filing by cannabis businesses argues that the U.S.'s broad cannabis prohibition lacks a "rational basis" amid state-level legalizations. Advocating that federal inaction has made the Controlled Substances Act obsolete, the plaintiffs, led by industry heavyweights like Verano and legal titan David Boies, assert that state-legal cannabis reduces illicit trade and deserves constitutional protection. This pivotal lawsuit questions the federal stance against cannabis, highlighting a shift towards acknowledging the plant's regulated use within states. A landmark debate on federal vs. state regulation is unfolding. #policyreform #cannabispolicy #federalcourt #cannabisbusiness

Congressman Dave Joyce is proposing the STATES 2.0 Act to modify the Controlled Substances Act and reclassify state-legal cannabis. This bill aims to remove federal restrictions on state-legal marijuana while maintaining federal illegality for marijuana not produced within regulated markets. It would create a comprehensive framework to align federal and state cannabis laws and eliminate the punitive tax on state-legal cannabis companies. #CannabisIndustry #CannabisLaw #CannabisRegulation

Really, Ohio?? "The legislation being advanced in the GOP-controlled chamber would eliminate a home grow option for adults, criminalize the use and possession of marijuana obtained outside of a licensed retailer, reduce the possession limit, raise the sales tax on cannabis and steer funding away from social equity programs and toward law enforcement—along with other amendments concerning THC limits, public consumption and changes to hemp-related rules that stakeholders say would “devastate” the market." #cannabis #cannabisbusiness #cannabisindustry #cannabislaw https://lnkd.in/gyRBr__N

Some positive news in Germany, as their bill to legalize cannabis advances! Those opposing the bill did not gain enough support to block it, therefore the next step is to send it to the Bundesrat (Federal Council) for further action. If the measure passes, adults will be allowed to legally possess cannabis and cultivate a maximum of three plants for personal use.

Green light for the Buckeye State? #Ohio congressman's bold move to file cannabis legalization bill could spark national reform. Shawn Hauser stated that under the proposed bill, “cannabis activity in legal, regulated states would no longer be considered trafficking under the CSA and would be subject to federal regulation and protections, while federal illegality would be upheld in states who have not yet legalized marijuana.” Read more on HIGH TIMES: https://ow.ly/kgZz50QilkE #cannabislaw #cannabislegalization #lawfirm #attorney #cannabisindustry
