Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at
what’s happening in the world of legalized marijuana.
Those in the marijuana industry in California
will face a higher tax bill in January. The 15% tax rate
will remain the same, but it will be based on a markup rate of 80%,
rather than the current 60%.
We’ve reported previously on groups pushing for a
legalization initiative in Florida. Not everyone in the
Sunshine State is in favor of legal cannabis, however. Floridians
Against Recreational Marijuana are organizing against legalization.
What’s the latest in the world of hemp
transport? Glad you asked. The governor of Idaho (which
has not yet legalized hemp) signed an executive order allowing the
transport of hemp across state lines. Sadly,
that won’t really help much if you’re trying to take
hemp from Colorado to Minnesota.
