Arrests Made In Alleged Forgery Of Florida Marijuana Petitions, Off-The-Clock Weed Use In California And More Cannabis Updates
Two paid canvassers have been detained in Florida for allegedly falsifying signatures on petitions to include a marijuana legalization measure on the state's 2024 ballot. The exact number of impacted signatures has not been confirmed but multiple petitions for marijuana and gambling were submitted. Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has been responsible for the new legislation and has just opened a third public survey; this addresses issues like retail business operations, sanitary standards and an expedited complaint process for local governments. The Alabama Medical Cannabis Association has partnered with the Healthcare Workers' Compensation Fund (HWCF) and Harmon Dennis Bradshaw to provide exclusive workers' compensation benefits to employees of the Alabama medical cannabis industry. The collaboration allows qualified employers affiliated with the state cannabis regulator to join Alabama's healthcare self-insured fund. Starting in January, California will see the implementation of a measure under which employees as well as applicants will be protected from being penalized by their employer for off-the-clock marijuana use.
