More than 90% of New York college students support the legalization of recreational cannabis, according to a survey conducted by the Siena College Research Institute.



But Uribe’s beliefs were set. Marijuana was safe. It benefited her life more than it detracted from it. Marijuana should be legalized.

Many of Uribe’s classmates share her point of view, a NewsHouse survey of more than 250 New York college students found.



Numerous participants reportedly also told pollsters they would be interested in taking classes on cannabis and its blooming industry.

Cannabis Subscription Boxes Bring Brands Directly to Consumers



Building brand control

A brand’s largest distribution channel is the dispensary; it’s also one of the worst places for brand discovery. Brands lack control over how their products are displayed—often lost in a sea of selections—and are at the mercy of budtenders.



Brightfield Group survey showed of the 500 cannabis consumers who responded, more than 90 percent rely on a budtender’s advice when considering what to purchase.





Subscription boxes take the budtender out of this equation; meaning brands control the exact content of their messaging and can distinguish themselves from the sea of selections.



Considering the hurdles new cannabis products face, it’s time for brands to join the subscription box movement. The model already has proven successful for brands in other spaces and is a low-risk, lower-cost strategy that solves the issue of brand awareness and product iteration via customer feedback.

Louisiana and Iowa Banned Smokable Hemp, Edible CBD: Is This Legal?



Last week, two sets of regulations rolled out by the Louisiana and Iowa legislatures banned the production, distribution, sale and possession of smokable hemp products among other regulatory actions.

Why Do States Ban Smokable Hemp?

These bans are meant to improve law enforcement on black market marijuana.





“Law enforcement has great difficulty differentiating hemp from products that contain more than 0.3% THC and have decided to get these products banned so that they don't have to worry about the difference or use resources to test it (which is often inaccurate),” said Morgan Fox, a spokesperson for the National Cannabis Industry Association.







“The penalties have most to do with working with law enforcement to allow CBD in a legal form without interfering with their ability to go after the black market,” said Irving.

Another potential reason is the fact that many of these products are produced and sold outside of the regulated CBD or medical cannabis markets in those states, which means they have no safety controls or testing requirements, said NCIA’s Fox.





Louisiana Also Bans CBD Edibles

On June 17, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards signed a bill that regulates the production of industrial hemp in the state.

Along with licensing requirements, application fees, testing, inspection and labeling rules, HB843 establishes fines for persons who break the new hemp regulations of up to $300 for the first offense, up to $1,000 for the second violation and up to $5,000 for third and subsequent violations.



To address this issue, the 2018 Farm Bill explicitly prohibits states from interfering with the transportation of legal hemp through their state, and establishes that the federal law itself does not prohibit interstate commerce



A recent ban on smokable hemp in Indiana was struck down as being an unconstitutional burden on legal interstate commerce, after hemp manufacturers sued the state.
