This is Lo with Veriheal keeping you up to date with the latest in cannabis news
After years of delay, New York has finally legalized recreational cannabis
Under the new laws, as much as 40% of cannabis tax revenue will be reinvested back into underserved communities that have been impacted by the War on Drugs
According to the NY Times, the state is slated to become one of the largest markets in the nation
and it’s one of few states where legalization is tied to racial and economic equity.
And now, New Mexico is not far behind!
Even though the governor has not signed legalization into law just yet,
regulators have launched an official website that outlines the states impending cannabis policies.
New Mexico’s Gov. Grisham is expected to make it official by signing the legislation once it reaches her desk.
Next in news,
Michigan’s Lake Superior University launched the nation’s first-ever cannabis-focused chemistry program back in 2019

And lastly,
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declares that congress will push forward with federal cannabis legalization despite a very hesitant President Biden
He was quoted saying,
“I am personally for legalization. And the bill that we’ll be introducing is headed in that direction,”
According to Press Secretary Psaki, Biden is currently a proponent of decriminalization, but he has not expanded his stance on a broader scale that would include legalization.
Schumer is hopeful that the President’s current opinion will evolve with proper education.
After all, Schumer was initially opposed to cannabis legalization until he paid a visit to Denver and spoke with locals about how legalization has helped the state of Colorado.
Schumer stated, “I want to make my arguments to him (Biden)… But at some point, we’re going to move forward.”
