Two years after initially allowing recreational cannabis in Michigan’s largest city, the Detroit City Council has approved an ordinance permitting sales to begin. When cannabis was first approved in the city the plans to give native Detroit residents preference in licensing was met with lawsuits ultimately leading to a judge ruling it likely unconstitutional. In the time since then, there have been numerous iterations of an ordinance to cater to the city’s needs while also providing a fair chance for a variety of applicants.

Maryland voters will be able to make their voices heard when adult-use cannabis will be on the ballot. Two bills that place the question on the ballot and establish licensing and operational regulations have been allowed to go into effect without the Governor’s signature. HB 1 is the bill placing the referendum on the November 2022 ballot and does not require a final signature by the Governor while HB 837 establishes the rules for the adult-use cannabis program if the ballot measure passes. Governor Hogan announced he would allow HB 837 to pass without his signature to provide regulatory guidance if the ballot measure is approved.

Senate Bill 1326 was set for a hearing on April 18th, 2022 which if moved forward and approved would allow interstate contracts between California and other states for cannabis-related business transactions. If passed, the California governor could enter into agreements with neighboring states to allow for licensed cannabis entities to work together across state lines making it a first-of-its-kind bill and expanding industry opportunities.

New Jersey kicked off adult-use cannabis sales on April 21.

Will this help to expedite New York’s timeline for announcing a go-live date? With each passing day, it is expected that millions of dollars in tax revenue will cross the bridge. How much will New York’s inability to hurry their timeline inflate New Jersey’s exploding cannabis sales numbers? Either way, this is another massive step forward as the east coast continues to make waves.

A campaign, which seeks to place a petition on the November ballot to legalize recreational cannabis, has been given the authorization to begin collecting signatures. Unlike two other cannabis ballot initiatives, SQ 818 and SQ 819, being considered this election season, SQ 820 would not alter the Oklahoma Constitution if approved by voters and therefore requires only 95,000 signatures collected by August 1st deadline. Petition language calls on the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to license and regulate adult-use cannabis businesses and to establish a 15% excise tax on sales to consumers. The measure would also provide a path to redesignate, expunge, or reverse certain cannabis sentences.
