Holiday-season, marijuana-reform headline round-up
The holiday last week and busy times at the end of a semester (and lots of sentencing reform activity) has put a crimp in my blogging lately. But this slow down on the blog does not reflect a slow down in marijuana reform news, and so I will try to catch up here with a few headlines and links to stories that highlight, yet again, that it is always a busy season in the arena of marijuana reform:
-
From the Baltimore Sun, “Medical marijuana sales in Maryland set to blow through one expert forecast, reach $100 million“
-
From the Boston Globe, “Customers spent more than $2 million in first week of Mass. recreational marijuana sales“
-
From CNN, “Louisiana is trying to keep medical marijuana medical. It’s harder than it sounds
-
From the New York Times, “How a Push to Legalize Pot in N.J. Became a Debate on Race and Fairness“
