Germany Legalizes Possession Of Cannabis.
Germany Legalizes Possession Of Cannabis.
The bill to legalize marijuana nationwide in Germany was signed into law and is
now in effect. This came after the German government announced an end to
prohibition and began plans for a legal industry in 2022. Adults are now allowed
to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis and grow up to three plants for personal
use. From July 1, adults can join "social clubs" where they can buy up to 25
grams of cannabis, with a cap of 50 grams per month. Social clubs cannot be near
schools or playgrounds, only one for every 6,000 residents, and have a maximum
of 500 members. There will be an official analysis within 18 months to see
legalization's effect on youth safety.

/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign said in an email that “Trump and his
administration took marijuana reform backwards, withdrawing guidelines to limit
prosecutions of marijuana offenses that were legal under state laws”—even though
the current administration hasn’t reinstated the enforcement guidance.
Congressional leaders have decided not to pursue enacting marijuana banking
legislation by attaching it to a must-pass aviation bill—though they are
assessing other vehicles for the reform—according to the U.S. Cannabis Council.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) said in a leaked audio recording that
she was “offended” when Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reacted
to her concern about Customs and Border Protection agents seizing marijuana
products from licensed businesses in her state by saying, “Who cares? They make
a lot of money.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) criticized cities that are moving to enact local
marijuana decriminalization policies such as the proposal on Lubbock’s May 4
ballot—saying it will lead to “chaos” as municipalities “pick and choose” the
laws they want to abide by.
The New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on a House-passed
marijuana legalization bill—with the Senate president and other lawmakers
pushing for a number of changes, including adding THC limits and removing
provisions allowing noncommercial sharing of cannabis.
The Kansas Senate rejected a motion to advance a stalled medical cannabis
legalization bill to the floor.
The California Senate Labor, Public Employment and Retirement Committee narrowed
the scope of a bill to remove marijuana-related employment protections from
people who work in certain law enforcement positions.
North Dakota Secretary of State Michael Howe (R) approved the format of a
marijuana legalization initiative, clearing activists to begin collecting
signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot.
/ FEDERAL
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra announced that the Biden
administration is delaying a proposed rule to ban menthol cigarettes.
Customs and Border Protection tweeted, “Heading across the border for the
@NFLDraft in #Detroit? Don’t travel with Marijuana! Marijuana is a controlled
substance under U.S. Federal law. Transporting marijuana or any illegal
substances across the border is a bad idea.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) included marijuana banking in a list
of legislation he would like to pass this year.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tweeted, “It’s been 18 months since @POTUS called
on the DEA to review the classification of marijuana, which is currently in the
same category as heroin & a more dangerous category than fentanyl. Lawmakers & I
are calling on the DEA to act now & legalize marijuana.”
Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) tweeted, “Federal legalization of marijuana is not
a matter of IF — it’s a matter of WHEN. The bare minimum should be to reschedule
marijuana. This week, I pushed to do exactly this with a bipartisan group of
Senators and Representatives.”
Rep. Babara Lee (D-CA) tweeted, “By descheduling cannabis, @POTUS has the chance
to reverse more than 50 years of failed, racially discriminatory cannabis
policy. As #CannabisCaucus Co-Chair, I’m calling on him & the DEA to take
action.”
/ STATES
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) directed regulators to issue notices addressing
the sale and distribution of illegal hemp products. Separately, regulators
announced a recall of marijuana products due to the presence of aspergillus and
because of inaccurate labeling.
Nebraska’s attorney general is suing a company for allegedly selling
“mislabeled, contaminated and harmful THC products to children.”
The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court overturned a ruling that found reimbursing
an injured worker for medical cannabis would violate federal law.

that their marijuana business licensing process discriminates against white
males.

standards.
Michigan regulators hired a director for the state’s new cannabis reference
laboratory.
Virginia State Police have carried about a series of searches and seizures at
cannabis-related stores.
Missouri regulators window for marijuana microbusiness license applications
closes on Monday.

and opium for medical treatment and research.
