Three California agencies
released new draft regulations
for the state market. Key moves include that delivery will be allowed in all jurisdictions, even if they don’t allow cannabis businesses.
There was no change to the loophole, now subject to a lawsuit, which allows companies to acquire multiple small cultivation licenses, and combine them into huge farms.

A study
in the journal Addiction, was the latest to find MED legalization
reduces opioid prescriptions
. More specifically, it reduced prescriptions for schedule III opioids such as Tylenol with codeine, but no correlation was observed for more powerful schedule II opioids such as Vicodin and oxycodone.
Politifact rules the assertion that legalization has led to a spike in ER visits
‘half true.’
With legalization, California and social media are
awash in bogus claims about cannabis’ health benefits
, especially that it can cure cancer. “Marijuana is increasingly described online as a magical elixir, not only for cancer but virtually every disease that afflicts humans,” the L.A.Times writes.
