A lawsuit set to combat a new Florida law regarding medicinal cannabis licenses might possibly challenge the constitutionality of the state’s rubric—and right injustices against black farmers who wish to obtain it. Designed To Fail The lawsuit was filed by Columbus Smith, a farmer and person of color based out of Panama City, Florida, who opines that a subset of
We like to think that the fledgling marijuana industry is a fertile ground for ambitious souls—whomever they may be—but according to a recent feature on NPR about racial inequities within the market, it’s the furthest from true. Selling weed while black, for instance—even legally—comes with its own set of challenges. So to carve their own place within the market, many

If passed, the measure would further legitimize the manufacture and sale of weed—and the very signing itself indicates Franken’s ever-growing platform on pot. A Natural Progression
A Kentucky judge ruled on Wednesday to uphold Kentucky’s medical marijuana ban. In the ruling, he cited the need to “curtail citizens’ possession of a narcotic, hallucinogenic drug.” While this adjudication might make sense in the context of recreational legalization, the lawsuit was over medicinal cannabis—not recreational.

According to San Francisco magazine, the 28 medicinal retailers currently in operation serve a city population of approximately 864,816, leaving one pot store per 30,886 residents. While this might
On Monday, a man was apprehended by police officers at a cannabis dispensary in the West Adams area of Los Angeles after he purportedly fired multiple shots within the store. When local authorities arrived on the scene, they found one man outside of the storefront, as well as the suspect alone in the store. There was no physical sign of
A former Kentucky county sheriff who allegedly provided cannabis plants to local black market cultivators to grow on his property was caught with the help of microchips and piloted video cameras. Peyman, who once worked as a sheriff in Jackson County, purportedly grew the plants on his farm under the guise of the state’s newly-implemented industrialized hemp program, which was put
On Thursday, the California Assembly voted 60 to 10 to declassify weed as a Schedule I drug, becoming the first state in the history of the United States to formally ask the federal government to do so.
