U.S. health officials have recommended a loosening of restrictions on marijuana, potentially paving the way for an expansion of the national cannabis market. A high-ranking Department of Health and Human Services official penned a letter urging the Drug Enforcement Agency to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act, a move that would signify a significant departure from its current Schedule I status associated with high abuse risk. While not full legalization, this change could be instrumental in reducing taxes on cannabis businesses and encouraging banks and financial institutions to offer traditional banking services to cannabis companies. The announcement led to a surge in marijuana stocks, with the MJ PurePlay 100 Index climbing 13%, showcasing the potential economic impact of such a regulatory shift.

Alabama's medical marijuana program has hit a roadblock as officials have decided to postpone the issuance of business licenses due to inconsistencies in the scoring of applications. The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) discovered discrepancies and potential errors in the scoring process, thus prompting the delay. This setback comes after months of anticipation following the legalization of medical cannabis in the state in 2021.
The decision to delay the licensing process aims to ensure fairness and accuracy in the evaluation of applications. The AMCC intends to address the discrepancies and reevaluate the scoring to uphold transparency and maintain the integrity of the licensing process. While this delay may be disappointing for prospective business owners and patients eager to access medical marijuana, it demonstrates the state’s commitment to a thorough and reliable evaluation process to select qualified operators for the successful implementation of the medical cannabis program. The AMCC is now working diligently to rectify the inconsistencies and proceed with the licensing as soon as possible, providing much-needed clarity and confidence to the industry stakeholders and patients eagerly awaiting the program’s launch.
Alaska
Alaska has been involved in the cannabis industry for quite some time. The journey began in 1975 with the decriminalization of cannabis. Later, in the case of Ravin v. State, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled in favor of privacy rights under the state constitution, specifically safeguarding the right of adults to privately use and possess small quantities of cannabis. As a result, Alaska was the first and only U.S. state to recognize a constitutional right to the use of cannabis at the time. Alaska holds the fifth position in the country when it comes to the number of dispensaries per person. It falls behind Oregon, Oklahoma, Montana, and Colorado in this aspect. Altogether, the state boasts over 150 active retail stores.

According to an article on Talk Business, medical marijuana sales in Arkansas have seen a significant increase of 5.2% through June of this year. The state has witnessed record-breaking sales, reaching $141 million in the first half of 2023. The growth in sales can be attributed to various factors, including the expansion of dispensaries and an increase in patient registrations. With more patients accessing medical marijuana for therapeutic purposes, the industry in Arkansas is flourishing. Experts predict that the positive trend will continue, with overall sales projected to exceed $1 billion by the end of 2023, especially as more dispensaries open across the state.

The Colorado government prohibited the growth and consumption of psychoactive cannabis in 1917. This ban persisted until 2000 when the residents of Colorado voted to legalize its cultivation and use specifically for medical reasons. Then, in 2012, Colorado voters further approved the legalization of non-medical cannabis cultivation and usage for individuals aged 21 and above. As for hemp cultivation, it had been prohibited since the enactment of the federal Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, but in 2013, it was legalized through the implementation of the Colorado Industrial Hemp Act.

Connecticut joined the ranks of medical marijuana-approved states on May 31, 2012, when HB 5389, also known as “An Act Concerning the Palliative Use of Marijuana,” was signed into law. This act offers legal safeguards to patients, doctors, caregivers, licensed dispensaries, and licensed producers who abide by the regulations when using, suggesting, or dealing with medical marijuana. On October 1, 2016, these protections were expanded to include advanced practice registered nurses. In September 2014, the initial six dispensaries commenced their operations in the state.

Delaware
Delaware, the latest state to legalize adult-use cannabis, is not expected to begin recreational marijuana sales until early 2025, possibly a year and a half from now. WHYY News reports that the market is scheduled to launch in September 2024, with a few additional months needed for operators to open their doors. Prior to that, the state must appoint a cannabis commissioner, establish a regulatory office, and issue 125 new business permits. The process begins with accepting business license applications by August 1, 2024. Deadlines for cultivation, manufacturing, testing lab licenses, and retail permits follow, with the potential launch date estimated to be in 2025, depending on the completion of necessary steps. State Representative Ed Osienski notes that it is speculative to provide an exact launch date but suggests it may occur approximately three months after the first cannabis crops are planted and a testing lab is operational.

District of Columbia
The House and Senate have taken steps to continue blocking the implementation of recreational marijuana sales in Washington, D.C., while protecting medical cannabis laws in states. Both chambers have included provisions in their respective fiscal year 2023 spending bills that prevent the District of Columbia from using funds to regulate and tax recreational marijuana sales. However, the bills also maintain protections for medical cannabis programs in states that have legalized it.
This move reflects the ongoing conflict between federal and local authorities regarding marijuana legalization in D.C. Despite the District of Columbia passing a measure in 2014 to legalize recreational marijuana, Congress has consistently used its authority to intervene and prevent the establishment of a regulated retail market. Advocates argue that this interference undermines the will of the voters and hampers the potential economic benefits that could arise from a legal marijuana industry in the nation’s capital. Nonetheless, the inclusion of provisions safeguarding state medical cannabis laws demonstrates a growing recognition of the importance of protecting patients’ access to this form of treatment.

Maryland
SOURCE: MARYLAND CANNABIS ADMINISTRATION & FORBES
Maryland has recently commenced legal sales of recreational marijuana, allowing adults aged 21 and older to purchase and possess cannabis for personal use. This development follows the passage of a bill earlier this year and provides a significant boost to the state’s cannabis industry. While the initial supply has been limited due to the number of licenses issued, the opening of recreational sales has generated substantial consumer demand, leading to long lines and high sales volumes at dispensaries. This enthusiastic response indicates a promising market potential, and experts predict that additional licenses will be issued in the future to meet the growing demand. The launch of legal sales not only benefits consumers by providing a regulated market but also holds the potential for economic growth and increased tax revenue for Maryland.

On November 4, 2008, Michigan approved the Michigan Medical Marijuana Initiative, allowing individuals to legally use up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis if they possessed a doctor’s note. This represented the first instance of cannabis being permitted, even in a limited capacity, in the entire history of Michigan.
A decade later, in November 2018, Michigan achieved another milestone by becoming the 10th state in the U.S. and the first in the Midwest to legalize recreational marijuana. Subsequently, in December 2019, the state granted approval for dispensaries to lawfully sell recreational cannabis products.

Medical marijuana sales have commenced in Mississippi in 2023. The Mississippi Medical Marijuana Association announced that the first purchases took place at three dispensaries - The Cannabis Company in Brookhaven, Hybrid Relief, and Star Buds in Oxford. Over 1,700 patients have enrolled in the medical marijuana program. After a majority of voters approved a medical marijuana initiative in 2020, the state Supreme Court invalidated it, but a bill passed by the Legislature in 2022 authorized the sale of medical marijuana, leading to the current developments. Dispensary owners have expressed their relief and hope for the future as more businesses enter the market to serve patients.

Starting from June 28, 2023, New Hampshire’s Therapeutic Cannabis Program has granted permission to the state’s Alternative Treatment Centers (ATCs) to provide therapeutic cannabis to visitors from outside the state and Canada who are legally allowed to possess cannabis for therapeutic purposes. Visiting patients can buy therapeutic cannabis from a New Hampshire ATC up to three times a year using a valid therapeutic cannabis identification issued by another state or Canada. If the visiting patient has a documented qualifying medical condition that is approved by New Hampshire, they can purchase cannabis from New Hampshire ATCs at the same frequency as qualifying patients from New Hampshire. Visiting patients must present their out-of-state cannabis ID card along with matching photo identification. They are subject to a possession limit of 2 ounces and can purchase a maximum of 2 ounces of cannabis within any 10-day period. Compliance with state laws regarding therapeutic cannabis use is mandatory for visiting patients. New Hampshire currently operates seven ATC therapeutic cannabis dispensary locations in Chichester, Conway, Dover, Keene, Lebanon, Merrimack, and Plymouth, which are listed on the Alternative Treatment Centers webpage.

New York

Despite experiencing delays in the rollout of its recreational market, New York has made headway in granting adult-use licenses. A total of 251 licenses for adult retail have been issued, yet only 16 dispensaries and delivery outlets have been able to commence operations. To combat the illicit cannabis market, the governor of New York has signed legislation aimed at implementing stricter regulations and penalties, with the objective of establishing a safer and more regulated industry. However, New York’s cannabis farmers are facing significant frustrations due to the sluggish rollout of retail dispensaries, resulting in surplus cannabis that cannot be sold to meet market demand. This has caused financial concerns for farmers who made substantial investments in cannabis cultivation. The situation highlights the necessity for an expedited licensing process and prompt opening of retail shops to support local farmers.

Senator Dan Laughlin and Sharif Street have introduced a bipartisan approach, known as Senate Bill 846, to legalize marijuana in Pennsylvania. Their proposal centers around establishing a regulated market for adult-use cannabis, with a strong emphasis on public safety, social equity, and economic growth. The legislation encompasses key provisions related to licensing, taxation, and expungement of past marijuana offenses. The bipartisan effort aims to garner support from both political parties and respond to the increasing public backing for cannabis legalization in the state. If passed, the bill would allow adults aged 21 and older to possess up to 30 grams of flower or 1,000 milligrams of edibles, levy a 5% excise tax on adult-use sales, and enable medical marijuana patients to cultivate cannabis at home.

Recreational marijuana has been a prominent issue in recent election cycles, garnering significant attention. In 2020, the electorate approved a measure to legalize recreational marijuana with a 54-46 majority. However, the state Supreme Court nullified the measure on procedural grounds. Activists made another attempt in 2022, but the measure fell short with a 53-47 vote.
Now, there are indications that a third attempt may be pursued in 2024. Advocates for reform point to lower turnout rates during midterm elections as a potential factor contributing to their previous electoral setbacks. In 2020, the statewide turnout reached 427,529, representing a high 73.9% turnout rate. However, in 2022, only 354,670 ballots were cast, resulting in a lower 59.4% turnout rate. These differing electorates could have played a role in the outcomes. Regardless of the reasons behind the previous failures, it is evident that the state remains divided on this issue, and its resolution is far from settled.

Virginia’s plans for retail marijuana sales by 2024 have been dealt a setback as the last remaining bill to establish a legal market failed to pass. In a party-line vote of 5-3, a Republican-controlled House of Delegates subcommittee rejected the legislation proposed by Senator Adam Ebbin. The bill aimed to enable recreational sales to commence in January 2024, allowing retail transactions through medical cannabis dispensaries and businesses owned by individuals from historically disadvantaged communities.
Currently, Virginians aged 21 and over can possess up to one ounce of cannabis or grow up to four plants at home. While medicinal marijuana can be purchased with a prescription, there is no legal means for adults to buy it for recreational use. The 2021 bill that permitted marijuana possession included a provision for the General Assembly to reapprove the measure and establish a regulatory framework for retail sales. However, efforts to develop this framework have faced delays in the legislature since Republicans gained control of the House of Delegates and Governor Glenn Youngkin assumed office.
