New Senate Bill Proposes Regulatory Framework for Hemp Industry
U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley have introduced the Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act to establish a national regulatory framework for hemp-derived products. This bill responds to a controversial ban on hemp products included in a spending bill signed by former President Trump, which threatened the cannabis economy with a strict 0.4 milligram THC cap.
The new legislation aims to replace the ban with comprehensive standards, including testing protocols and age restrictions. Senator Wyden noted, "A one-size-fits-all approach that bans hemp products... does nothing to protect kids and consumers."...

Maryland Lawmakers Advance Cannabis Legalization and Home Cultivation Bills
Maryland is poised for significant legislative changes as state Democrats, led by Senator Richard Madaleno, propose a comprehensive bill to legalize cannabis. This initiative aims to create an effective regulatory system inspired by successful models from other states and includes provisions for home cultivation for personal use.
The legislation seeks to regulate the cannabis industry by limiting dispensaries and producers, along with a taxation framework where producers pay $30 per ounce and retail sales are taxed at 9%. Revenue will fund prevention programs and educational initiatives. Delegate David Moon has a backup plan to put the issue to a public referendum if the bill fails, expressing optimism about its prospects: "You can feel the inevitability of this measure in the air."...
