A week of cannabis headlines puts medical access and legal stability in the spotlight. Mississippi advances bills that could extend patient certifications and adjust THC limits for certain products, while South Dakota blocks proposals that would have tied medical cannabis to federal rescheduling or imposed potency caps. Oklahoma turns up the political heat, with a push to send medical marijuana back to voters—raising questions for patients and licensees.
Meanwhile, the adult-use market debate continues: Virginia advances retail-sales frameworks but clashes over enforcement penalties; New York refines dispensary buffer-zone rules; New Hampshire sees legalization threatened by Senate resistance and a promised gubernatorial veto; and Hawaii hits another stall on recreational cannabis. We also cover Ohio’s referendum effort over rollback provisions, Oregon’s proposed edible-serving limits tied to child safety, South Carolina’s THC hemp showdown, and Arkansas’ Supreme Court ruling that could reshape how voter-approved cannabis laws are modified.
