KANSAS CITY
Kansas City received $8.3 million in federal money to address homelessness
Potential crackdown on street sideshows
WEED
Missouri lawmakers passed a bill allowing medical weed companies to deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses on their state tax returns that Section 280E of the federal tax code currently prohibits. We’ll see if Governor Mike Parson signs it into law. Then, the Show-Me State appeals court ruled regulators cannot keep cannabiz license applications secret, so the more then 800 denied licensees appealing the application and scoring system used by the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services can now compare their applications to others.
Kansas may be too late to pass their medical bill, but they did open their first industrial hemp fiber processing facility in Great Bend. They’ve contracted with 10 farmers this year totaling 1,000 acres of hemp and they bought their equipment from Colorado, so they are proud to say they are creating 100% American-made products. Hemp will save the world!
New Mexico is getting a $300 million DEA research facility that will create 170 research jobs along with 200 research and agricultural jobs. They were awarded a memorandum of agreement from the DEA, which 30 other private businesses are hoping to also receive.
New York joins Colorado and 10 other states in banning delta-8 and other THC isomers.
Montana lawmakers passed a bill to amend the voter-approved recreational market, pushing the start date back three months, setting a THC cap on flower, limiting edible potency per package, reducing homegrow from 4 to 2 plants, and moving oversight from the Department of Public Health and Human Services to the Department of Revenue, among other changes against the will of the people.
A House-approved decriminalization bill is heading to the Louisiana Senate and could remove jail time for possession. Also up for debate on the Senate floor is a bill to legalize flower and concentrates for patients to smoke. Arizona lawmakers rejected a bill that would have banned weed companies from having billboards or sponsorships in events of all kinds. South Carolina is out of time when it comes to passing a medical bill, but Texas could still expand its narrow compassionate care program to a still incredibly narrow medical market.
Congratulations on legalizing medical marijuana, Greece! Take that, 33 nay votes.
