Welcome back to The Year In Weed, The Blunt Truth's annual
roundup of cannabis-related stories. As usual, I'll adopt
Dave Barry's Year in Review (sadly, no longer
available for free) format and look at stories month by
month. Last year, I hoped that the feds, New York and
Alabama would get their acts together, as I was running out of
metaphors to describe their respective situations. Did that holiday
dream come true? Well…
Let's begin with January, when the
pot situation in Alabama “didn't smell
right,” and New York continued to struggle. Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin (R)
expressed no interest in setting up a retail cannabis market, and
we began the 2024 episodes of the “DEA Re-schedules Cannabis”
story.
