Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at what's
happening in the world of legalized marijuana.
The southeast was a hotbed of marijuana-related activity
this week. In Florida, Make It Legal's ballot
initiative to legalize adult-use cannabis gathered enough
signatures to trigger a Supreme Court review.
In Georgia, the
state's top elected officials appointed members to a board that
will issue licenses to companies to grow and sell medical
marijuana.
Meanwhile, in Alabama,
the Medical Marijuana Study Commission met to discuss a draft of a
medical cannabis legalization bill.
In the northeast, five states are attempting to
coordinate their marijuana policies, as we've reported before. As this article notes, sometimes it's hard
to get everyone on the same page, even if they belong to the same
political party.
