Florida House Bill 389, proposed by Rep. Alex Andrade, aims to outlaw cannabis smoking and vaping in any public place where tobacco smoking is prohibited, including streets, sidewalks, parks, beaches, and businesses. This comes after Florida voters approved medical cannabis in 2016, but adult-use ballot initiatives have failed, and advocates recently sued state officials over attempts to block a 2026 ballot proposal. The state previously banned smoking in enclosed workspaces in 2002 and allowed local restrictions on smoking in public parks and beaches in 2022. < Back Florida Proposal Would Align Cannabis and Tobacco Public Smoking Rules Nov 10, 2025 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A proposal by Florida House Republican Rep. Alex Andrade would make cannabis smoking illegal anywhere that tobacco smoking is prohibited, CBS News reports. The measure, House Bill 389, applies to both the smoking and vaping of cannabis products. The bill targets “public places,” including streets and sidewalks, public parks and beaches, and businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and retail locations. The ban also targets government buildings, airports, schools, and hospitals. Florida voters passed the state’s medical cannabis legalization amendment in 2016. Since then, two adult-use cannabis ballot initiatives have failed Florida voters passed the state’s medical cannabis legalization ballot amendment in 2016. Last year, an adult-use cannabis ballot initiative failed to receive the 60% support needed to pass. Meanwhile, advocates with the Smart & Safe campaign recently sued state officials, claiming the election officials are trying to block their proposal from appearing on the 2026 ballot. Petitioners for the campaign submitted more than 337,000 signatures in June, more than enough to trigger a state review of the proposal. Florida voters banned smoking in enclosed workspaces in 2002, according to the report. In 2022, state lawmakers passed a law allowing city and county officials to restrict smoking in public parks and beaches. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s election victory, the Cannabis Council of Canada called on the new government to address gaps in the legal cannabis industry. The council is calling for tax reforms, and is also urging lawmakers to eradicate criminal forces from the industry. The council is also calling for a national, single excise stamp for cannabis products. Since legalization, the cannabis industry has contributed over $43 billion to Canada’s gross domestic product. < Back Cannabis Council of Canada Calls for Industry Reforms Following Election May 1, 2025 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s election victory, the Cannabis Council of Canada called on the new government to “address glaring gaps and shortcomings in the legal cannabis industry.” In a statement, Paul McCarthy, president of the Cannabis Council of Canada, said, “With a new government in office, it’s time for action. The cannabis industry deserves the same attention and support as any sector of our economy.” “Canada likes to position itself as a global leader in legal cannabis – but since legalization in 2018, the federal government has failed this industry and the tens of thousands of hardworking Canadians it supports.” — McCarthy in a press release The council is calling for tax reforms, describing the current framework as “completely misaligned with today’s market realities,” noting that at the launch of the legal market in 2018, cannabis sold for $10 per gram, but today, producers are seeing about $3 per gram. Yet, the excise tax remains greater than 10% of the product’s value or $1 per gram. The council is calling on the new government to eliminate the $1 per gram floor and replace it with a 10% ad valorem rate – a fixed percentage based on the value of the goods, as determined by the invoice cost – which was proposed by the Standing Committee on Finance last year. The group is also urging lawmakers to “eradicate the criminal forces from the industry,” noting that illegal cannabis sales comprise between 25% and 40% of total cannabis sales in Canada and pointed to recent Government of Canada laboratory testing that found 94% of illegal cannabis products contained pesticides. The council suggests a strategy that includes shuttering unlicensed storefronts and online sales, intercepting shipments of illegal product, and launching a public awareness and education campaign on the dangers of supporting the unregulated market. The council is also calling for a national, single excise stamp for cannabis products, calling the current system, wherein each province and territory requires its own unique cannabis excise stamp, a “significant burden” on the industry. Since legalization, the cannabis industry has contributed over $43 billion to Canada’s gross domestic product, with approximately $7.4 billion contributed in 2024 alone, the group said. A recent survey found 57% of Canadians view cannabis as important to the country’s economy, and another 62% said it could play a more significant role in the future economy. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A federal judge denied a request by anti-marijuana groups to block a Trump administration initiative providing Medicare coverage for hemp-derived CBD and THC products. The program, which allows eligible beneficiaries up to $500 in annual coverage, will proceed while the court considers a preliminary injunction at a hearing scheduled for April 20. < Back Medicare Cannabis Coverage Moves Forward: Judge Shoots Down Attempt to Block CBD and THC Benefits for Seniors Apr 1, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The push to get cannabis-based relief into the hands of those who need it most just cleared a major legal hurdle. A federal judge recently shut down an attempt by anti-marijuana groups to immediately halt a new Medicare program that covers hemp-derived CBD and THC products. This means the initiative, which offers eligible seniors up to $500 a year for these products, is officially moving forward while the broader legal battle plays out. For the everyday toker, this is a massive win for accessibility. It is the first time we are seeing the federal government actually put its money where its mouth is regarding the medical potential of cannabinoids. The program is designed for folks 18 and older enrolled in specific Medicare models, particularly those dealing with chronic pain or oncology issues. By removing the financial barrier, the government is essentially acknowledging that CBD isn't just a wellness trend—it is a legitimate tool for symptom management. The judge’s decision was pretty straightforward: he noted that stopping a federal program requires meeting a very high bar, and the prohibitionist groups simply didn't hit it. Interestingly, the next big hearing is set for April 20th. Whether the court intended it or not, holding a major cannabis hearing on 4/20 is a nod to how much the culture has shifted into the mainstream. If you have relatives or friends on Medicare who have been curious about CBD but worried about the cost or the "legal" stigma, now is the time to have that conversation. They will need to work directly with a qualified physician through a participating organization, as you cannot just buy a bottle at a retail shop and ask for a refund. It is all about professional guidance and lab-tested quality, ensuring that the products are safe and effective. This move isn't just about policy; it's about bringing plant-based relief to a generation that has often been left out of the conversation.

Cannabis Expungement Law Sep 9, 2025 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The federal cannabis scene is currently a bit of a mixed bag. On Capitol Hill, things have hit a "standstill" as we wait for the administration to move on rescheduling. Adding to the tension, some House Republicans are pushing to block a D.C. law that would help clear old marijuana records—a move that feels like a step backward for local justice. On the brighter side, a major new study confirms what many in the community already know: cannabis can actually help folks cut back on alcohol cravings and intake. Plus, public opinion is leaning pro-green, with more Americans seeing legalization as a net positive for society. For everyday tokers, this news is a reminder that while the science and the public are on our side, the politics are still messy. The study on alcohol reduction is a huge win for those using the plant for wellness, proving its value as a healthier alternative. However, the D.C. expungement fight shows why we need to keep pushing for fair laws that don't leave people behind as the industry grows. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
