Let’s be honest, medical cannabis is not the most pressing issue in Washington these days. I have experienced firsthand from walking the halls of Congress, that while a majority of members are sympathetic to the needs of patients, most do not understand the issue of medical cannabis much less that there is a way forward.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

In a recent controversial move, Mastercard issued a directive to United States banks, ordering them to block cannabis purchases on its debit cards. The decision has ignited a firestorm of debate, primarily due to the unique nature of debit cards. For years, most major credit cards have prohibited cannabis purchases with minimal public outcry. This new mandate struck a chord because, unlike credit cards, debit cards are linked directly to an individual’s bank account.

Most Americans favor federal cannabis legalization. Nearly all Americans support medical cannabis legalization. This is not a new development. It has been that way for years. And it is a rare non-partisan issue. Over the past few years while support has been its highest, well, ever, a series of federal election cycles have come and gone. You’d think that with a unicorn non-partisan issue with majority and super- or even ultra-majority support, the federal government would have figured some

I must have heard a millions times some form of the phrase, “He’s just an old stoner.” Those outside the cannabis community have used the phrase to belittle. Those in the community have used the phrase to endear. Well, in Illinois, the phrase might fit more than expected. According to a recent report from Headset , a data platform for the cannabis economy, Illinois has a higher representation from Baby Boomer and Gen X generations than other states.

A federal judge has ordered Health Canada to review its Organigram case over what constitutes a cannabis edible. Earlier this year, Health Canada sent cease and desist letters to LPs. They accused the licensed producers of selling cannabis edibles masquerading as extracts. Organigram was one of these LPs. Health Canada said their lozenges, known as Jolts, were really edibles.

The legal cannabis industry is built on the backbone of the legacy cannabis market. Back in 1937, the United States federal government set out to eradicate cannabis with the MJ Tax Act. Since then, the federal government has tried very hard to destroy the life of anyone and everyone caught disobeying this and subsequent anti-cannabis. But why? Was it for their friends in textiles looking to replace hemp with cotton, rayon, spandex, and other fabrics?

How to solve the opioid crisis? Surely, there is no single solution since addiction is a complex problem. Any model that suggests that an addict has freedom of choice must be wrong by definition.
