North Dakota voters on Tuesday rejected adult-use cannabis reforms in the state 53% to 47%, the North Dakota Monitor reports. It marks the third time in six years that voters in the state have voted down the reforms.  In an interview with the Monitor, Pat Finken, chair of the Brighter Future Alliance, which opposed Measure 5, said the results showed voters understood “that today’s marijuana is not safe and legalization will only add to the addiction and mental health crisis already punishing North Dakota families.”   “Once again, the voters of North Dakota have wisely rejected an attempt to legalize recreational…

A new study of more than 5,000 men whom researchers evaluated over the course of 44 years found “no significant harmful effects of cannabis use on age-related cognitive decline.” In fact, the report says, “Men with a history of cannabis use had less cognitive decline from early adulthood to midlife compared to men without a history of cannabis use.” “Among cannabis users,” the study adds, “neither age of initiation of cannabis use nor frequent use was significantly associated with greater age-related cognitive decline.” Authors of the research, which was published this month in the journal Brain and Behavior, said that…

The Second District Court of Appeal’s unanimous decision draws attention to private property rights in a context where cannabis remains federally illegal, but state law allows licensed cultivation, distribution and sale. Presiding Justice Albert Gilbert stated, “No matter how much California voters and the Legislature might try, cannabis cultivation and transportation are…

The maker of a popular marijuana vaping device posted a video to social media this week targeting Instagram and its parent company, Meta, for what it describes as an overly aggressive campaign to flag and remove cannabis-related content. Puffco’s new video asserts that Instagram’s policing of cannabis posts by brands and individuals effectively stifles efforts at community building among veterans, medical marijuana patients and legal adult-use consumers. “The world didn’t want us, so we made a safe space for our community on Instagram where we could just be ourselves and share what we love,” the video asserts. “Isn’t that the…

Two lawsuits have been filed against Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) aiming to delay the state’s lottery for social equity licenses, the Star Tribune reports. The lawsuit comes after the agency last week denied some 1,200 social equity applicants – about two-thirds of all applications – for issues ranging from inadequate paperwork to “flooding” the application pool in attempts to improve the odds of receiving pre-approval.  The lawsuits were filed last week by eight license hopefuls who contend the OCM denials were arbitrary or without explanation. Jen Reise, an attorney who filed a lawsuit on behalf of six applicants, said the…
