Republican Gov. Chris Sununu has signed a pair of bills into law expanding patients’ ability to access medical cannabis products. The first bill, SB 357, expands the pool of health care professionals who can recommend medical cannabis to include anyone “who is licensed to prescribe drugs to humans and who possesses an active registration from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration to prescribe controlled substances and who is primarily responsible for the patient’s care related to his or her qualifying medical condition.” The second bill, HB 1278, provides discretion to health care providers to issue medical cannabis recommendations to any…
On April 1, 2024, Germany became the most populated country on earth to adopt a national adult-use cannabis legalization measure. The butterfly effect of Germany’s policy change has since spread to other parts of the European continent, with Slovenia and Czechia serving as the best examples. Earlier this year, during the parliamentary elections in Europe, voters in Slovenia decided on two separate cannabis reform measures. The first asked, “Should the Republic of Slovenia allow the cultivation and processing of cannabis for medical purposes on its territory?” Approximately 66.71% of Slovenian voters answered “yes” to that referendum question. The second question…
Federally funded survey data provided by the University of Michigan reports that teen marijuana use has declined significantly over the past decade and is now at historic lows. Consistent with data previously reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the University of Michigan’s annual Monitoring the Future report finds that cannabis use by young people is at a 30-year low. In the past decade alone, during which time 24 states legalized adult-use marijuana sales, the percentage of 8th graders, 10th graders, and 12 graders who reported having ever consumed cannabis…
Germany is wrapping up the most historic year for cannabis policy and industry in the nation’s history. Starting on April 1, 2024, adults in Germany could legally cultivate up to three plants in their private residences and possess up to 25 grams of cannabis when away from their homes. Next year will likely prove to be another historic year for German cannabis policy and industry. The most anticipated development in Germany for 2025 will be the launch of regional adult-use cannabis commerce pilot trials. Whereas European Union agreements prohibit national recreational cannabis sales, pilot trials are permitted under EU law…

Nebraska voters will decide this Election Day on a pair of citizen-initiated ballot measures regulating medical cannabis access to authorized patients. State regulators last week affirmed that advocates Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana had gathered the requisite number of signatures to place the measures before voters. The two measures are complementary. The first permits qualified patients to possess and use cannabis. The second measure regulates the production and distribution of cannabis to those authorized patients. Advocates had to frame the issue as two separate ballot questions in order to not run afoul of the state’s ‘single subject’ rule. In 2020, the…
Lifetime cannabis use is not associated with cognitive decline, according to longitudinal data published in the journal Brain and Behavior. Danish investigators assessed the relationship between cannabis use and age-related cognitive decline in a cohort of 5,162 men. Subjects’ IQs were assessed during early adulthood (mean age: 22) and then again in late midlife (mean age: 62). Researchers determined that participants with a history of cannabis use experienced “significantly less cognitive decline” over their lifetimes than did non-users. Among cannabis consumers, neither age of initiation nor frequency of use was associated with negative effects on cognition. They reported: “In this…
In the grand scheme of things, the legal global cannabis industry is just getting started. As it stands right now, 57 countries have adopted some form of medical cannabis legalization, and six countries have adopted national adult-use cannabis legalization measures. Of those nations, only some have implemented robust cannabis commerce models. This leaves a significant amount of untapped cannabis industry potential. According to researchers at New Frontier Data, more than 260 million adults worldwide consume cannabis at least once a year. The researchers estimate that global cannabis consumers “spent an estimated $415 billion on high-THC cannabis in 2020,” and that…
