Top 10 Cannabissuer Pictures Of The Week (#3 Rocks)

Next month, the Parkinson’s Foundation will hold a two-day meeting to bring 40 experts including clinicians, scientists, executives from the cannabis industry, and physicians who will discuss cannabis for Parkinson’s treatment.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D) of California recently took a series of actions that yielded varied outcomes for the cannabis industry and advocates of marijuana reform. Notably, he vetoed a proposal to legalize cannabis cafes, which left supporters disheartened as they believed it could have provided new social opportunities for consumers and spurred business growth.

New York’s system is reminiscent of how California used to be. Activists used the governor’s past indiscretions with women to leverage their points. And it worked! New York managed to secure 50% of its licenses for marginalized communities. I personally am not a big fan of this idea, and would much rather see a lower entry point in terms of cost than to see a set amount of licenses to be granted to a selected few.
