Episode Details

Illinois marijuana reform is back on the table. Four new bills have moved to the Senate Cannabis Subcommittee, including two omnibus cannabis bills and two conflicting hemp regulation bills. Is this real progress or another round of stalled reform?

We break down Senate Bill 4015, Senate Bill 4048, and the competing hemp bills including SB 3377, SB 3820, and SB 3919. What does this mean for hemp drinks, intoxicating hemp products, enforcement, and potential fines?

Plus:

• Michigan marijuana sales drop 16 percent after a major tax hike

• Are cannabis taxes finally catching up to consumers?

• The Supreme Court takes up a major case on whether cannabis users can own firearms

• The ACLU and NRA on the same side? Yes, really.

We also feature My Bud Jon’s cannabis review of Superboof by Redemption Botanicals and Superboof rosin by Mountain High Melts. If you are shopping in Illinois, this segment helps you make informed decisions before you buy.
