Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at what’s happening in the world of legalized marijuana. This week, we check in on the state of hemp in the state of Ohio. We note that Medicare will now cover CBD products. Idaho cannabis supporters have collected signatures for a medical marijuana ballot initiative. And finally, could cannabis provide a source of funding for TSA?
OHIO
Restrictions on cannabis products went into effect in Ohio late last week. Opponents of the measure were unable to gather enough signatures to put a referendum on the ballot that might have stopped the implementation of the new rules. Cannabis is still legal in Ohio, but smoking in public is not allowed, there are limits on THC levels, consumers can only purchase cannabis at licensed dispensaries (goodbye gas station weed!), and users cannot possess cannabis grown outside the state.
