(http://bit.ly/3Jo4VIz) The cannabis legalization movement is facing a setback at the federal level, but there is still plenty of reason to be optimistic. In this week's news, we'll take a look at the latest developments in the fight for legalization, including: A bipartisan spending bill amendment that would have assessed the regulatory framework in states that have already legalized was shot down by the House Appropriations Committee. However, this does not mean that federal legalization is dead in the water. There are still a number of bills that are being considered in Congress, and it is possible that one of them could pass in the near future. Maryland finalized their numbers from the first week of sales, showing that the state has already generated over $1 million in tax revenue. This is a significant amount of money, and it shows that the cannabis industry can be a major source of revenue for states. Michigan is seeing a decline in opioid-related deaths, which some experts attribute to the state's legalization of medical marijuana. This is a promising development, as it suggests that cannabis can be a safe and effective alternative to opioids for pain relief. The number of federal marijuana prisoners has declined since states began to legalize the plant. This is a positive step, as it means that fewer people are being incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses. However, there are still concerns about illegal farms and untracked products being found on dispensary shelves in New Mexico and California. These are important issues that need to be addressed as the cannabis industry continues to grow. Despite the setback at the federal level, the cannabis legalization movement is still making progress. With more and more states legalizing the plant, it's only a matter of time before federal legalization becomes a reality. Here Support the showGet our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3VEn9vu
