Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at
what's happening in the world of legalized marijuana.
Let's start off with a look at Joe Biden –
what's the campaign's view on cannabis legalization?
How is the FDA handling the mislabeling of CBD products? Will
Pennsylvania legalize marijuana? Will Oklahoma enforce their
medical cannabis rules? What's the latest on the Idaho
ballot? And finally, did you know the marijuana industry is worth
more than the NBA?
where do the candidates stand on marijuana?
Vice President Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders formed a
“Unity Task Force” in an effort to bring the party
together on various issues. One of them is cannabis. The task force
report discusses marijuana on pages 9 and 59.
The recommendation is for federal decriminalization of recreational
use, federal legalization of medical use and expungement of all
past convictions for use and possession. Basically, it's
Biden's long-time position.
