When it comes to school mask rules, K-12 Schools Co-Chair @kebmurphy says that, "schools should use CDC guidance as a baseline for safety, listen to state and local recommendations, consult with experts, and be ready for change."

The SAFE Banking Act bill doesn't get enough attention for how it can help solve insurance issues for the state-legal cannabis industry. I wrote a client-alert here so that you can learn more

A major cannabis bill is being drafted by Sens. Schumer, Booker, and Wyden - it would remove marijuana from the list of controlled substances & tax and regulate it on the federal level while leaving states able to enforce their own laws #cannabisindustry https://t.co/AYPDUxJh4V

8) In other words, I don't think all pain claims made about #CBD #topicals will draw #FDA's ire. More aggressive claims or moderate claims plus aggravating factors will still be Agency's focus, is my prediction.

[Jonathan A. Havens @RegulatoryAtty]

1) - While many will say that FDA is casting a wider net by going after topicals and pain claims, the Agency has gone after such products and such claims, previously (at least as far back as October 2019).

@tomangell Rep. Flowers, the chief sponsor, expressed concerns about the adult use bill during 2019 floor debate that it didn't do enough to help communities harmed by the war on drugs. I think that feeling has only grown. I think this will pass easily (but could be wrong).

[Robin Dusek @dusek_robin]

Not a big surprise to me - the Black Caucus has a lot more power than it did a year ago and Rep Mary Flowers is in leadership with the Black Caucus and a sponsor of this.

I'm guessing Speaker Welch is on board and this sails thru, but we have a new House here #TWILL

[Tom Angell 🌳📰ⓥ @tomangell]

Oh wow: The Illinois House Judiciary - Criminal Committee approved a bill to *remove all possession limits* for legal marijuana and expunge prior cannabis convictions.
