Medical cannabis access is colliding with regulation, taxes, and federal law across the U.S. In Florida, lawmakers unanimously back a major veterans discount for medical marijuana cards—while bigger 2026 cannabis fights loom. Kentucky raises the national question: should legal state cannabis patients lose gun rights under federal rules? Missouri’s audit reveals licensing flaws, Metrc tracking gaps, privacy concerns, and delayed marijuana revenue distributions. Nebraska tries to unlock patient access with provider immunity, even as a petition-drive notary case tests ballot integrity rules. Oklahoma considers a county weed tax election and bills that could keep new licenses frozen until 2028 while limiting grow permits. And in Oregon and Virginia, lawmakers move to protect cannabis use for hospice and terminally ill patients in care facilities—while South Dakota votes to dismantle its oversight committee.

A week of cannabis headlines puts medical access and legal stability in the spotlight.

A week of cannabis headlines puts medical access and legal stability in the spotlight. Mississippi advances bills that could extend patient certifications and adjust THC limits for certain products, while South Dakota blocks proposals that would have tied medical cannabis to federal rescheduling or imposed potency caps. Oklahoma turns up the political heat, with a push to send medical marijuana back to voters—raising questions for patients and licensees.

Meanwhile, the adult-use market debate continues: Virginia advances retail-sales frameworks but clashes over enforcement penalties; New York refines dispensary buffer-zone rules; New Hampshire sees legalization threatened by Senate resistance and a promised gubernatorial veto; and Hawaii hits another stall on recreational cannabis. We also cover Ohio’s referendum effort over rollback provisions, Oregon’s proposed edible-serving limits tied to child safety, South Carolina’s THC hemp showdown, and Arkansas’ Supreme Court ruling that could reshape how voter-approved cannabis laws are modified.
