Florida's cannabis legalization campaign has raised more money than any other adult use campaign to-date. It has also raised more than every other adult use campaign to-date...combined. Our story on the states with cannabis on the ballot: https://t.co/Blq41n242S #Election2024

Three new cannabis-focused PACs have formed since last year. What are they up to? https://t.co/dzSSrcN4Mz

The newly-formed Coalition for Adult Beverage Alternatives, which includes Tilray as a founding member, spent $40,000 lobbying in Q3. The group aims “to facilitate the accessibility and commerce of hemp-derived Delta-9 (THC) beverages through traditional retail locations.”

Hemp and rescheduling have drawn new lobbying activity in Congress as entities seek to shape the future of intoxicating hemp products and how the U.S. classifies cannabis. Here's our analysis of the latest federal disclosures: https://t.co/smIqWDn1IV

In a new lawsuit, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission held a cannabis employer responsible for discrimination. EEOC does–albeit rarely–get involved in cases like these, despite federal prohibition. More in the Cannabis Wire Daily newsletter: https://t.co/gY5aDbvYK2

Delaware regulators received 1,269 cannabis business license applications. Adult use sales are expected to start in early 2025. Interest, they said, is “substantially exceeding initial projections.” More in the latest Cannabis Wire Daily newsletter: https://t.co/80TdO9afrF

Monday marked the deadline for California Gov. @GavinNewsom to sign or veto bills on his desk. Newsom signed a much-anticipated bill to allow for fresh food and live music at cannabis cafés. What else did – and didn't – make the cut? https://t.co/W4yhKEROLn

This week, @KamalaHarris reiterated her support for cannabis legalization – the first time since she became Dem nominee for president that she has done so. But Harris' support for reform goes back years. Our story on Harris' comments, past and present: https://t.co/J4OHdhOtnU

Yesterday, @NASDANews heard from @US_FDA on hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Existing FDA regulatory frameworks "do not apply to large segments of the market, like inhalable products, where we have tremendous concerns," FDA's Norm Birenbaum said. https://t.co/AxqgoOyTBZ

Congress is tackling intoxicating hemp. “I want regulators to make hemp-derived products safer. That way consumers, as well as farmers and producers, can benefit from clear rules of the road at the federal level," Sen @RonWyden told Cannabis Wire. https://t.co/XxxAC6XV45

The campaign to legalize cannabis in Florida is, in a word, unprecedented. And, some of the most powerful people in the state are along for the ride—including Donald Trump, who surprised Democrats and Republicans alike with his support for the measure. https://t.co/hS8BcRP7JY
