"Judge's Ruling Shakes Up New York's Cannabis Industry"

An Albany County Supreme Court judge has invalidated all New York State regulations for adult-use cannabis, ruling them unconstitutional, in response to a lawsuit filed by cannabis-focused tech company Leafly Holdings, adult-use retailer Stage One Dispensary, and a customer. The ruling raises questions about the competence of New York’s Office of Cannabis Management and Cannabis Control Board, and the future of the state's adult-use market regulations. The judge's decision may be appealed, but it has sparked concerns about the potential impact on the industry and the possibility of further legal challenges.

The Safety of Cannabis-Based Medicines for Pediatric Cancer Patients

A retrospective review found that the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) dose of edible cannabis correlated with the degree of toxicity in children under 6 years old. THC ingestions of at least 1.7 mg/kg can predict severe and prolonged toxicity, suggesting that exposures exceeding this threshold should be managed in pediatric services with prolonged observation or admission capabilities. The study highlights the need for improved cannabis regulations and emphasizes the heightened risk posed by cannabis edibles in young children.

"Resilient Washington Marijuana Farms Bounce Back from Pesticide Concerns"

Several marijuana farms in Washington state are resuming operations after being halted due to concerns over pesticide contamination. The farms, located on former fruit orchards where DDT was heavily applied and remains in the soil, were found to have unacceptable levels of chemicals related to the banned synthetic pesticide. Although the affected growers did not use the pesticide themselves, they are taking steps to mitigate the residual pesticide and rebuild their brands with state financial support. Pesticide contamination in cannabis is a concern for regulators and consumers in legal pot states, as the plant is often smoked or concentrated, intensifying pesticide levels. Washington state lawmakers have allocated funds to help growers address soil contamination and study the absorption of toxins by marijuana plants.
