The marijuana industry continues to make headlines as various states grapple with the legalization and regulation of cannabis. In Colorado, the black market for marijuana has become a multibillion-dollar driver of the state's economy. Meanwhile, the appointment of House Speaker Mike Johnson has dimmed the political prospects for the cannabis industry, but a new lawsuit from David Boies may provide an alternative path for change. In Georgia, a state representative has announced plans to introduce a marijuana legalization bill. In Ohio, right-wing activists are working to erode abortion access at the state level, with a dark money network spending $18 million to oppose reproductive justice. In Canada, support for cannabis legalization remains high, with 64 percent of Canadians in favor of the move. However, many marijuana businesses across the country are struggling, and the illicit marijuana market in New York has become a public health threat. In Kansas, a judge has blocked a law requiring doctors to say medication abortion can be reversed. The health department in Nassau has reported a fivefold increase in cannabis-related hospitalizations among residents under the age of 15. In Arkansas, medical cannabis sales have exceeded $211 million through the third quarter of 2023. The UK has seen a tripled increase in the size of its medical cannabis imports this year. In Ohio, polls show majority support for marijuana legalization ahead of a ballot initiative vote. In Oklahoma, the marijuana market is contracting. In Missouri, a lawmaker is calling for an investigation into the marijuana social equity licensing process. Kansas has seen a judge strike down several anti-abortion measures, including one requiring doctors to say medication abortion can be reversed. A Missouri appeals court has ruled against Republican-written summaries that described abortion-rights amendments as allowing dangerous and unregulated abortions until live birth. And in Ohio, a ballot measure is personal in protecting life.
