Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at what's
happening in the world of legalized marijuana.
This week we have lots of state action - there's news from
Rhode Island, Mississippi, Delaware, South Dakota, North Carolina
and Missouri. But the feds have been talking about taking action
too. In international news, the United Nations comes out against
cannabis advertising. And finally, you know an industry has gone
mainstream when NASCAR accepts their sponsorship.

bills under consideration, and it may be fall before lawmakers can
agree on final language.
