Daily Recap
A Democratic congresswoman has implored the DEA to “reject any argument” that rescheduling cannabis under federal law would constitute a violation of international treaty obligations.
“Cannabis should be removed from the Controlled Substances Act entirely, however, I acknowledge that the rescheduling of cannabis is a historic first step to addressing the harms of the War on Drugs, which is why I want to ensure that U.S. Treaties are not considered as a potential reason against rescheduling or de-scheduling marijuana.”
Slumdog Millionaire
Amid pressure to clamp down on New York’s thriving illicit market, new rules were introduced last year allowing regulators to impose fines of $10K each day a cannabis business operated without a license, rising to $20K for a second or more offense.

As Florida voters await word on whether they’ll have a chance to legalize recreational marijuana this November, they won’t have to worry about a bill blunting the type of product available.

The British Virgin Island’s Cannabis Bill has been stuck at the Governor’s Office since 2020 because the UK has had issues with it—but the BVI Premier now believes that their laws give elected leaders the authority to pass it without the UK’s approval.
“Our laws currently allow us to legalize marijuana w/o seeking the assent of the Governor.”

Below, we’ll chew through today’s price action, preview Green Thumb’s earnings and review some of what we learned at last night’s U.S cannabis idea dinner in the city.
