Welcome to The Week in Weed's look back at the news of 2019;
whether the year has flown by or seemed to last forever, it's
(almost) over now. In tribute to Dave Barry and his always
hilarious Year in Review, we'll organize these
stories by month.
Without further ado, here's a look at the stories that
grabbed our attention in 2019.
January proved that there's always a
cannabis angle, no matter what the topic of conversation. The
new Attorney General said he would not go after cannabis companies; the NFL
announced it would not air a medical marijuana ad during the
Super Bowl; and furloughed federal workers were able to get free cannabis.
In February, we saw the first ever
Congressional hearing on cannabis banking. See the
hearing's webpage, for the details.
