A bipartisan bill proposed in Wisconsin aims to protect the state’s hemp industry from federal crackdowns by shifting regulatory oversight to the state level and implementing new rules like a 21-and-older age limit, mandatory independent testing, child-resistant packaging, and a 10 mg THC limit per serving. The legislation, which is currently in the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Revenue, also includes language to bypass the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection before violations can be prosecuted. < Back Wisconsin Bill Seeks to Protect State’s Hemp Farmers from Federal Crackdown Dec 3, 2025 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A bill proposed in Wisconsin seeks to protect the state’s hemp industry from the federal crackdown on hemp-derived THC products by aligning state rules with those included in the recently passed federal spending bill, Wisconsin Public Radio reports. The bipartisan legislation imposes an age limit of 21-and-older on the sale of intoxicating hemp products, requires hemp cultivators to have their crops tested by an independent laboratory, and mandate that hemp-derived THC products be sold in child-resistant packaging. The bill would also impose a 10 milligrams of THC limit per serving and would not allow containers with more than two servings Jay Selthofner, owner of Heritage Hemp Farm, told WPR that the federal ban effectively leaves hemp regulation up to the states and that lawmakers are trying to protect the state’s hemp industry from the federal ban by moving state regulations from U.S. Department of Agriculture oversight to state oversight. “Being able to run our own program protects us a lot more than not doing that and allows the state to control much more aspects of it than just relying on a federal program that could be conceived as loosely written.” — Selthofner to WPR The proposal also includes language bypassing the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection before a district attorney or U.S. Department of Justice could prosecute violations of the new rules, which is required under current state law. The bill is currently in the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Revenue. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A Marijuana Policy Project report shows that cannabis arrests have plummeted by over 85% in legalization states, leading to a significant national decline. Despite this trend, over 200,000 people are still arrested annually, with prohibition states recording far higher arrest rates primarily for simple possession. < Back The Good News on Falling Arrest Rates and Where the Battle for Legal Herb Continues Apr 20, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Great news is coming out of the latest data from the Marijuana Policy Project, and it is a breath of fresh air for our community. A new report shows that as more states embrace sensible cannabis laws, the number of people being caught up in the legal system is dropping at a historic rate. It is proof that when we move toward a regulated market, the shadow of unnecessary criminalization starts to fade. Looking at the numbers, annual cannabis-related arrests in the U.S. have plummeted from a staggering peak of over 870,000 in 2007 down to roughly 211,000 in 2025. In states where the plant is legal, arrest rates have dived by more than 85%. This shift is massive because it means thousands of regular people are avoiding the life-altering trauma and lasting baggage of a criminal record for something that is now recognized as a normal part of life in half the country. However, while we celebrate this progress, the report reminds us that the journey isn't over. Over 200,000 individuals are still being funneled into the justice system every year, often for simple possession in states that haven't caught up with the times. In prohibition states, you are over eight times more likely to face a run-in with law enforcement compared to legal jurisdictions. It is a stark reminder of the "zip code justice" that still exists. For those of us navigating this evolving landscape, it’s a good time to stay informed about your local rules. Even in "green" states, some areas still have strict caps on how much you can carry or prohibit home grows. Staying within your state's specific guidelines is the best way to keep your experience positive and hassle-free. This downward trend in arrests is a huge win for accessibility and social justice, signaling a future where we can all enjoy the plant without fear. Let’s keep that momentum rolling toward full national common sense! < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A Texas judge ruled that hemp merchants can continue selling THCA flower until at least this summer. < Back Texas Hemp Shops Win Temporary Reprieve To Keep THCA Flower On Shelves Through The Summer May 4, 2026 Source: Chris Roberts MJbizDaily Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Great news for enthusiasts in the Lone Star State. Texas has always been a bit of a rollercoaster when it comes to plant-based rights, but the latest update from the courts is definitely cause for a small celebration. If you have been worried about your local shop running out of high-quality flower, you can breathe a sigh of relief—at least for the next few months. A judge just gave the green light for businesses to continue offering THCA flower. This comes after some serious tension between state regulators and local hemp entrepreneurs who have been working hard to keep these products available. For those who are not familiar with the science, THCA is essentially the raw precursor to the psychoactive compound most people are looking for. When you apply heat, whether through a flame or a vaporizer, it converts into the classic experience you know and love. Because it fits within specific legal definitions under federal hemp laws, it has become a staple for many people in states with more restrictive traditional laws. This ruling is a significant win for accessibility and the local economy. For many Texans, these hemp-derived options provide a safe, legal way to enjoy the benefits of the plant without the stress of legal hurdles or the limitations of a tiny medical program. It also protects the livelihoods of countless shop owners who have invested everything into the community. My advice is to head down to your favorite local boutique soon. Supporting these businesses while they navigate these legal challenges is the best way to show that the demand for quality greens is here to stay. Since this court-ordered pause only lasts through the summer, it is a perfect time to explore new harvests and maybe tuck a little extra away for a rainy day. Stay positive, stay informed, and enjoy the freedom of the season. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

These approvals are part of the state's new medical cannabis program, which permits a maximum of four licensed cultivators. Two other applications, including one from Crista Eggers of Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana, were rejected. Denied applicants have until October 23 to appeal. The commission had previously missed its October 1 deadline for issuing licenses due to commissioner resignations. < Back Nebraska Regulators Approve State’s First Medical Cannabis Cultivators Oct 9, 2025 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission on Tuesday approved the state’s first two medical cannabis cultivator license applications, Nebraska Public Media reports. The approvals were given to Nancy Laughlin-Wagner, on behalf of Midwest Cultivators Group, and Patrick Thomas. The approval will allow each to receive an offer of licensure to cultivate up to 1,250 flowering cannabis plants for medical purposes. The limit was included as part of the emergency regulations signed by Gov. Jim Pillen (R) last month – the first step in setting up the state’s medical cannabis program. Those regulations only permit up to four licensed cultivators in the state. The approved applications were one of four randomly reviewed by the commission. The other two applications were rejected by the commission – including one submitted by Crista Eggers, the executive director for Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana, which led the successful ballot initiative that enacted the medical cannabis reforms. During the commission meeting, Eggers said that she hopes “the individuals that receive these licenses are good people that have every intention of providing good medicine to the people of this state that so desperately need it.” “I do hope that we see some transparency with a matrix and things,” she said during her remarks, “so that all applications, all licensed applicants, have that information to go forward, so that they know how they scored.” Denied applicants can appeal the commission’s decision until October 23. The commission had missed the statutory deadline of October 1 to begin issuing industry licenses after the resignation of two commissioners led to a slowdown of the process. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

This Marijuana Moment newsletter features updates on Kentucky medical marijuana progress, Virginia hemp business hearing requests, and data on cannabis treatment referrals in non-legal states. < Back The Fight Over Getting CBD Covered by Medicare Moves to the Next Stage in Federal Court Aug 28, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The cannabis landscape is moving fast, and this latest round of industry updates brings a mix of policy shifts, regulatory battles, and crucial data that directly impacts plant lovers across the country. First up, federal courts are officially setting the timeline for a high-stakes legal challenge over Medicare coverage for CBD. Anti-cannabis groups are attempting to block federal health programs from covering hemp-derived remedies, making this a pivotal moment for patient access and healthcare affordability. Meanwhile, state-level medical programs continue gaining momentum. Kentucky's leadership confirmed their framework is past the midway mark toward launching fully operational dispensaries, framing natural plant medicine as a vital alternative to pharmaceutical opioids. Over in Virginia, local hemp operators are demanding official legislative hearings to challenge severe new product restrictions. Small business owners want lawmakers to examine the economic fallout before shutting down popular hemp items. On the national scale, compelling federal data reveals that court-mandated rehab referrals for cannabis remain highest in states where prohibition persists. It turns out criminalization drives forced treatment numbers, not natural consumer demand—proving once again that sensible reform creates healthier outcomes than outdated penalties. Beyond policy, research keeps highlighting the therapeutic promise of cannabinoids, including exciting preliminary findings on CBD in specialized wellness applications. Whether you rely on plant remedies daily or simply enjoy tracking the progress of reform, staying informed is the best way to support a fair, accessible, and thriving green future. Keep an eye on local legislation, support transparent brands, and stay engaged as legal access continues to expand nationwide. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
