Colorado
The state's marijuana market took an 8% hit in April, despite the 4/20 holiday.
Recreational sales in Colorado were down roughly 12% in April, clocking in at
$112 million, while medical sales were actually up by 10%, at $36.5 million. The
total monthly sales haul for the state's marijuana industry was $148.5 million-a
7.8% drop from March, when sales hit $161 million.
Connecticut
Lawmakers added chronic pain as a qualifying condition to use medical
cannabis, a move that could significantly boost Connecticut's growing,
$100 million-plus market. Chronic pain, which Connecticut defines as pain
that has lasted at least six months, generally is a leading sales driver for MMJ
markets. The bipartisan legislative panel also agreed with a state Board of
Physicians recommendation to add as a qualifying condition Ehlers-Danlos
syndrome, which can cause pain in the joints or muscles.
Florida
The state Supreme Court heard arguments on two issues that could
significantly alter Florida's marijuana industry. One case is a longstanding issue
of whether the vertically integrated structure of Florida's medical marijuana
industry violates the state constitution. If the Supreme Court agrees, Florida's
medical marijuana market would open up to stand-alone licensing opportunities.
The other case deals with whether Make it Legal Florida's recreational marijuana
ballot proposal can go before voters. Decisions on the two cases are expected
later this year.
Georgia
The Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission appointed Andrew
Turnage as the program's first executive director. Turnage has licensing
experience as well as law enforcement experience. Turnage said in a statement
that his goal is to ensure families in Georgia finally get low-THC oil, although he
didn't disclose a timetable for licensing or a sales launch. Six medical marijuana
producer/processor licenses are available in Georgia, and pharmacies rather
than independent dispensaries are expected to sell the products.
