Some notable news and notes about medical marijuana programs
As students in my marijuana reform seminar know, I think medical marijuana programs do not get nearly as much attention and study as they should. Consequently, I was pleased to see a lengthy new Politico piece on persistent medical marijuana challenges. That got me to thinking it was a good time to do a round-up on the medical marijuana news front:
From Politico, "Dodgy science, poor access and high prices: The parallel medical world of medicinal marijuana in America"
From Marijuana Moment, "Florida’s Medical Marijuana Patient Count Grew 71 Percent In The Past Two Years"
From MJBizDaily, "Utah medical marijuana sales up nearly 60% to $118.7M in 2022"
From Missouri Independent, "Missouri appeals court orders state to issue medical marijuana growing license"
From WLKY in Kentucky, "Republican candidate for Kentucky governor announces support for medical marijuana"
From WLOX in Mississippi, "Five medical marijuana dispensaries given green light to open in Gulfport"
From WRAL in North Carolina, "Medical marijuana legalization bill passes NC Senate in bipartisan vote"
From WTEN in New York, "Medical marijuana being denied to some probationers"
From Dakota News Now in South Dakota, "House committee passes bill clarifying medical marijuana ailments"
