Welcome back to yet another week of legal developments in the world of legalized cannabis. The highlight of the week was the potential passing of the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFER)
Banking Act. You can find more detailed information here. So, as the week ends, a pertinent question is raised – will the rechristened ‘R’ factor in the SAFER Banking Act make all the difference?
We also saw some buzz in the Nebraska legal circles, as voters are likely to get the chance to vote on medical marijuana. While the details are not yet clear, a referendum of this nature could significantly alter the landscape of cannabis laws in Nebraska.
On the eastern side of the country, Massachusetts is witnessing some disturbances within its cannabis industry. Though the origin and potential implications of this upheaval are not yet clear, this marks yet another episode of turbulence within states that have already liberalized their marijuana laws.
Meanwhile, in the Midwest, a Wisconsin politician has set off on a “Grass Routes” tour, drawing attention to another corner of our legal world. Not only does this demonstrate the increasing prominence of marijuana in political campaigns, it offers an exciting glimpse into the possible future of cannabis laws in Wisconsin.
To keep up with these fluid developments in cannabis legislation across the United States, be sure to check back for next week’s update.
