from High Rise: Cannabis MSOs, Products & Market Analysis

The FDA just blew past a congressionally mandated deadline on hemp regulation — and a $28 billion industry is counting down to a November ban. Missouri is already passing state-level bans, while New York wants liquor stores selling cannabis drinks. Illinois posted its first-ever annual sales decline. The DOJ says cannabis users can't own guns even after rescheduling. Hawaii's trying "legalization lite." Plus: Texas ballot questions, Virginia retail sales, NJ wholesale crashes, and four states pushing medical marijuana into hospitals. We've got the Headset data to make sense of all of it.
