With the November 2023 passage of Issue 2, Ohio became the 24th state – plus the District of Columbia – to legalize recreational marijuana. Pot's approval means the state's cannabis industry is poised for major expansion, with predictions that the first year of sales could reach $2B, with annual sales potentially climbing to $4 billion within just a few years, according to industry monitor MJBizDaily.  Ohio is seen as fertile territory for the pot industry to take off, with multiple major companies vying to dominate the Buckeye State's enormous new and as-yet untapped market for marijuana sales. Yet the State House isn't yet done making changes to the citizen-initiated statute passed by Ohio voters – with everything from the number of plants home growers can possess, to the tax to be levied on pot sales, to the legal levels of THC permitted in plants and extracts – still to be determined by lawmakers. One thing is for sure: recreational marijuana is poised to become both incredibly lucrative and pervasive in Ohio. With an expert panel, we unpack the present and future of Ohio's blooming pot industry. Featuring: Gus Burns, Cannabis Industry Reporter, MLive James Canepa, Superintendent of the Division of Cannabis Control, Ohio Department of Commerce Ariane Kirkpatrick, CEO, Harvest of Ohio The host is Kate Siefert, Reporter, ABC 6 and FOX 28 Columbus This forum was supported by The Ellis. The livestream presenting sponsor was The Center for Human Kindness at The Columbus Foundation. The livestream partner was The Columbus Dispatch. This forum was recorded before a live audience at The Ellis in Columbus, Ohio's historic Italian Village on February 21, 2024.

In October 2018, Canada legalized cannabis after decades of prohibition. The goals were to improve safety, public health and curb the illegal market. There were great expectations for a thriving cannabis industry. What's changed in the industry since legalization? What challenges does it still face? And where does it go next? Solomon Israel, a journalist covering the cannabis industry for MJBizDaily, explains.

The panel further noted that scientists face “limited access to sources” of cannabis, suggesting that they should be able to study the actual products consumers are purchasing from state-legal dispensaries.The Senate Appropriations Committee passed the legislation—which covers Fiscal Year 2024 funding for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies—and its attached report language last Thursday, advancing it to the floor.In addition to the research-focused drug policy sections of the report, there's also language in the underlying bill that prohibits the use of federal funds “for any activity that promotes the legalization of any drug or other substance included in schedule I” under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), unless there's “significant medical evidence of a therapeutic advantage.”  2.   Small marijuana businesses take advantage of purported 280E loophole                MJ Biz                 A growing number of marijuana businesses are taking advantage of a tax strategy that might reduce the costly financial burden imposed by Section 280E of the federal tax code.Small businesses with a gross income of less than $27 million are able to deduct expenses to a “near-legal” degree, according to accountants specializing in cannabis.                By one estimate, marijuana companies paid nearly $2 billion more in federal taxes than mainstream businesses.But not all certified public accountants are on board with using the relatively new tax strategy, and they warn cannabis entrepreneurs that using it could be risky.Section 280E currently prevents plant-touching companies from deducting many traditional business expenses because marijuana remains a Schedule 1 substance and illegal under federal law.In recent years, a growing number of accountants and professionals specializing in cannabis discovered a small business provision within 2017's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.The provision, called Section 471(c), was designed to simplify accounting for inventory and cost of goods sold (COGS) for businesses with less than $25 million in gross income.“For example, if a business wants to include 100% of its facility costs in its inventory calculation, it could do that if it is based on the company's books and records,” said Justin Botillier, the founder and CEO of Oregon-based accounting firm Calyx CPA.In other words, a cannabis retailer could include expenses associated with renting a storage facility for inventory in its cost of goods sold.For some businesses, the tax savings from including such expenses under inventory costs can be significant.“We can get taxes down to near-legal levels,” Botillier said in an interview with MJBizDaily. According to Richards, costs disallowed under Section 280E do not “disappear” – they just cannot be deducted under the old accounting methods.But under Section 471(c), the limitations of the old accounting methods no longer apply and some of the costs can be recognized as COGS.This creates the possibility of recapturing costs that were previously disallowed under 280E before the use of the 471(c) method.But while a growing number of CPAs are using it, there are still a number of accountants who won't use 471(c), arguing that 280E disallows any kind of deduction and could invite audits. 3.        Automatic expungement, no fake weed: 5 ways Minnesota's legalization could be a national model Possession, consumption, and home grow are all legal Starting today, adults 21 and over are able to have up to two ounces of cannabis flower, eight grams of concentrates, and 800 milligrams of THC edibles in public. Those will also be purchase limits at adult-use dispensaries.The limit for flower possession at a private home is two pounds. Adults can also opt to grow their own cannabis at home; each household is allowed eight plants, four of which can be flowering at any given time.Plants must be in an enclosed, secure area that is out of public view. Rep. Hanson said this decision was made to deter crime.  b.            Defining where you can consume may be toughThe cannabis bill (HF100) in Minnesota effectively makes public consumption legal—but there are a few exceptions.First off, smoking marijuana is not permitted in multi-family dwellings. This means people in apartment buildings or similar properties may have to leave their property if they want to smoke or dab. Eating edibles or drinking THC drinks, however, is acceptable.Smoking in vehicles is also banned as is driving under the influence of cannabis.             C.         Cannabis sales are currently limited to tribal dispensariesWhile adults may be able to have cannabis as of August 1, it may be difficult for them to get it. It could be early 2025 before dispensaries open, as the state takes time to flush out the licensure process and regulations.However, Indigenous tribes in Minnesota have been given a head start and may opt to open adult-use dispensaries essentially as soon as they'd like. So far, two tribes in the northwestern part of the state have decided to take advantage.           D.      Automatic expungement of criminal records starts immediatelyMinnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension will begin automatic expungement of lower-level cannabis convictions right away. Over 60,000 Minnesotans may be eligible, but officials believe it may take up to a year to clear the backlog.“No state has made it automatic,” Rep. Hanson explained. Every state has made their people petition to get their expungements done, which we didn't feel like that was right. That's going to completely free up the lives of so many people.”Felony convictions may take a bit more work to erase from individual records. A Cannabis Expungement Board will soon be formed and will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis.             E.         Synthetic cannabinoids are bannedProducts containing synthesized cannabinoids like HHC and THC-O were outlawed when Governor Walz signed Minnesota's recreational marijuana bill into law earlier this summer. However, they continue to be sold in smoke shops and hemp dispensaries across the state.According to Carol Moss, an attorney and partner at Hellmuth & Johnson, that will likely change this fall. All hemp businesses must register with the state by October 1st. Moss believes that a crackdown could come soon after.“There's still issues with enforcement—I expect there will be more once the state knows who's selling it,” Moss told GreenState via text.

MJBizDaily recently wrote that the cannabis industry is expected to endure more layoffs and pain in 2023 – and perhaps beyond – after a tough year marked by companies cutting hundreds of employees amid falling wholesale prices and slowing demand.Sara was interviewed for an article by Cannabis and Tech Today about how while the cannabis market expands worldwide with new strains, upstart cannabis manufacturers, and many established entities, the need for cannabis companies to differentiate themselves is immediate. She said that people involved in the cannabis world “must be okay doing something innovative and different.” and you urge companies to invest the extra time and resources required to create a brand, whether that means hiring someone in-house or another professional.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

#legalizing #recreational #marijuana436 views • Streamed live 109 minutes ago • #legalizing #recreational #marijuanaWhat states are legalizing cannabis in 2023? 4 states have a good shot at #legalizing #recreational #marijuana in #2023 Source MJBiz dot com. If the Minnesota state Capitol feels different lately, it's not just the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) enjoying the “trifecta” – control of both houses in the Legislature plus the governor's office – for the first time in 10 years. It's also the marijuana – as in a detectable whiff from the direction of state Rep. Jessica Hanson. A second-term lawmaker whose first foray into politics was serving as executive director for a legalization advocacy organization, Hanson co-sponsored bipartisan adult-use legalization legislation that was reintroduced last week. The bill, which passed the state House last year, is expected to get a friendlier reception this year in the now-DFL-majority Senate. “We elected people at a grassroots level to the Legislature in this state who care about this issue,” said Hanson, believed to be the first admitted cannabis consumer elected to state office in Minnesota. The rosy outlook and fresh momentum for legalization in Minnesota – where the Democratic governor has promised to sign a legalization bill into law – can be seen across the country in 2023. At least four states – Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, in addition to Minnesota – have a good chance to legalize adult-use marijuana this year, observers and interested parties told MJBizDaily. In all four states, Democrats now control both the governorship and both chambers of the Legislature. The stronger Democratic majority in Pennsylvania, where some legalization bills were vetoed by a Republican governor in 2020, is particularly favorable for cannabis reformers' prospects this year. By the end of 2023, at least 15 states could have legalized adult-use cannabis, potentially adding $7 billion to the emerging U.S. marijuana industry's annual revenues. Cannabis advocates and industry observers are also hopeful that the more conservative states in the South, including Texas and South Dakota, could legalize some form of medical marijuana this year or soon after. That would be a major breakthrough in the region, where cannabis access is still severely restricted. Get in touch with us:

Katie Stem's journey to a career in cannabis started with traditional Western medicine studies in college. That path took a left turn, however, when she was introduced to natural remedies while researching at Oregon Heath & Science University. She switched gears and completed a master's degree in Chinese medicine instead. She decided to ply her entrepreneurial skills and medicinal expertise to launch Peak Extracts. Katie's expertise, however, didn't shield her from sexism and homophobia in the cannabis industry, nor the challenges of Oregon's saturated market. Katie positioned Peak to thrive by: Intelligently introducing automation into her extraction facility. Recognizing and creatively maneuvering around barriers that others tried to place in front of her. Operating leanly in a saturated marketplace. Taking a hands-on approach to bringing innovative products to market. Who is Katie Stem?

When wildfires struck Northern California a few years ago, much of Erin Gore's life literally went up in smoke. The CEO of the Garden Society, a vertically integrated craft cannabis company in Sonoma County, came dangerously close to taking a finance deal that could have led to professional and financial disaster. But an astute and supportive business coach suggested another path for Erin, and today the Garden Society is on the cusp of going multistate. In this episode of “Seed to CEO,” Erin shares: How her experience in winemaking helped her navigate the cannabis industry – and how it didn't. Why turning away money with the wrong terms can be a boon for your business. Why saying “no” is a critical skill for executives – and how to hold yourself accountable for it. Why you can't be afraid to fire someone who isn't doing your company right. Who is Erin Gore?

Before long, however, she was baking edibles and hosting marijuana parties for her girlfriends.

Erin left Henkel to launch the Garden Society in 2016. Since then, she's also become a passionate advocate and ambassador for women. In 2021, she was a winner of the North Bay Business Journal's Women in Business awards.

On a trip to India in the late 2000s, Raj Grover walked by a paraphernalia store selling glass pipes for pennies, accessories that would retail in Canada for $20. While he wasn't a cannabis user at the time, Raj saw an opportunity. He parlayed that New Delhi encounter into a 500-square-foot head shop in Calgary with two employees. That lone outlet has grown into High Tide, a Canadian retail powerhouse with more than 100 cannabis stores. In this episode of “Seed to CEO,” Raj shares: How he grew from an accessories shop to a vertically integrated chain. How to find and seize opportunities before others do.

Raj also leads High Tide's partnership with World Vision, sponsoring more than 200 children in 2021, and is also a longtime supporter of Operation Smile, an organization that works to deliver free, safe cleft surgery to children in need.
