“I’m prepared to do my job … all the way into the end zone if it requires additional legislation,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a major hemp-producing state.

Democratic challenger Adam Edelen offers a plan to decriminalize personal possession. More than 11,000 Kentuckians were convicted under prohibition last year.

Beverly Hills and 24 other local governments sued Friday to overturn a rule allowing home deliveries across California, even into communities that banned commercial cannabis sales.

New Hampshire’s House lawmakers passed a bill Thursday to legalize adult-use cannabis, but support appears to be waning and wouldn’t be enough to override a promised veto.

“Even if you have had a green card for 20 years, you had better not work in any aspect of this industry and you better not use marijuana,” one immigration attorney said.
