This week’s cannabis news is dominated by a massive federal policy shift that imposes a strict 0.4 mg THC limit on all hemp products—setting off alarms across Minnesota, Michigan, Florida, and beyond. We detail how businesses, regulators, and consumers are preparing for a potential collapse of the intoxicating hemp market.

Plus, we cover Florida’s escalating ballot-access war, Michigan’s wholesale tax lawsuit, New Jersey’s attempt to loosen municipal restrictions, and Pennsylvania’s decision to leave adult-use legalization out of the budget, despite billions in projected economic activity.
