Cannabis News Week: Sales Figures, New State Protections

The road cannabis legalization has taken in the U.S. has been circuitous to say the least, and with each new piece of state-sponsored legislation, the confusing framework is shown to be even more ridiculous. 

Take California, for example. 

Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1954 into law, which would prohibit a physician and surgeon from denying treatment or medication to a qualified patient based solely on a positive drug screen for THC.

While this is a positive development for cannabis users across the state, it is curious it took California, the first state to legalize medical cannabis all the way back in 1996, decades to enact this protection for its citizens.
