Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at
what’s happening in the world of legalized marijuana.
Virginia is a state we rarely discuss in The
Week in Weed. A glance at our archives reveals only four mentions
all time. That may be about to change. The state’s Attorney
General hosted a summit on legalizing cannabis in the state.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for further developments.
We all know the old adage, “If at first you
don’t succeed, try try again.’ Legalize ND has
taken that message to heart. The group turned in language for a
ballot initiative to the North Dakota secretary of state’s
office, the first step in getting an initiative on the 2020
ballot.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking
that the Drug Enforcement Administration allow researchers to
purchase products from state-legal dispensaries. The hope is that
more suppliers will allow for better research.
