Cannabis has been recreationally legal in Illinois for three years and medically legal for nearly a decade. Regardless of any flaws in Illinois' Cannabis Act, the state has sold billions of dollars worth of cannabis products in that time and raked in hundreds of millions in new tax dollars. But what of social equity? How equitable has legal cannabis been in Illinois? Representative La Shawn K. Ford of Illinois' 8th District says it has not been nearly equitable enough and he's leading a new state-run cannabis working group with the goal of moving the state into a more truly equitable place, so this "green rush" will actually benefit those who have been hit the hardest by the war on drugs. Rep. Ford already has some bills moving through Springfield on that front, plus a year of events is revealed in the News Joint Wrap!

Is legal cannabis trending in an unsafe direction? In light of recent studies underscoring the potential dangers of products with high rates of THC, it's a fair question to ask. More evidence is showing that CBD can protect our brains from the more harmful elements of THC, and thankfully some companies are leaning into this and finding a "safe and fun" sweet spot for consumers of their cannabis products. Enter Studio TBD, a creative collective in New York City focusing on cannabis products and web3. Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Robert Lund, says he and his team have imbedded into the company and products, the philosophy of keeping cannabis safe and fun for the masses. They are doing this by keeping a ratio of high CBD to low THC in their infused strawberry gummies, such as 25 mg of CBD with 4 mg of THC. Plus a Summer cannabis convention in the News Joint Wrap, and as many states are racing to legalize cannabis - Oklahoma faceplants at the finish line. Enjoy!

Question or Comment Cannabis may already be a 100 billion dollar-a-year industry, even with the patchwork state-by-state legalization in the U.S. right now.

Aspiring entrepreneurs need startup capital to get in the door and laws are changing by the year, with massive upheaval expected when federal decriminalization is finally realized. Is the current legal cannabis landscape in the U.S. setting up thousands of people for failure? That possibility is pondered by cannabis investor and author, Aaron Edelheit, who deeply studied the legal cannabis landscape in the U.S. In this episode, he shares his insights into why he thinks we're focusing on building up the wrong cannabis businesses and where he believes the real opportunity of this green rush lies.
