Legalization Updates

Oklahoma – Early next month, Oklahoma voters will decide if medical cannabis legalization in the state should be expanded to recreational use for adults 21 and older. While intense campaigns on either side of the issue are attempting to swing the vote, industry research shows a possible $821 million in additional revenue for the state over five years if the vote is passed.

New York – On February 10, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced the opening of a third retail dispensary location in Manhattan. The shop, cheekily named “Union Square Travel Agency: A Cannabis Store,” advances New York State’s Seeding Opportunity Initiative which positions individuals with prior cannabis-related criminal offenses to make the first adult-use cannabis sales with products grown by New York farmers.

Kansas – A bill proposed in Kansas would allow individuals to have cannabis-related crimes expunged from their records and release anyone serving probation, parole, prison or jail sentences. As Kansas is one of four states where cannabis remains outlawed for any purpose, this would serve as a backdoor way to relieve people of their penalty.
