High Tide starts selling cannabis seeds in the US, following the move that the seeds fall under the legal definition of hemp
High Tide has started selling cannabis seeds in the U.S. following the American Drug Enforcement Agency’s recent move that the seeds fall under the legal definition of hemp and can therefore be sold openly in the country, writes RTT News.
Following the announcement, High Tide was trading up 4.58% at $1.60 per share in pre-market on the New York Stock Exchange.
Raj Grover, CEO of High Tide, said: “…This new business venture will greatly expand our U.S. customer base, which already sits at 2.4 million through our ancillary cannabis business lines, and sets us up well to take advantage of federal legalization in the United States when it comes.”
OREGON LAWSUIT
If the Oregon lawsuit is successful, companies could start shipping products across state lines
MJBizDaily reports that in the future companies could ship products across state lines without interference from federal or state authorities if a recently filed lawsuit challenging Oregon state law is successful.
In November, a licensed Oregon distribution company, Jefferson Packing House, filed suit against Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and other state officials to overturn a section of Oregon law that prohibits state-licensed operators from shipping cannabis across state lines.
Jefferson Packing House has argued that such prohibition is unconstitutional.
The company’s lawyers wrote: “We believe it is likely that a federal court will treat marijuana like hazelnuts and invalidate state laws prohibiting the export of marijuana notwithstanding the fact that it is illegal under federal law.”

CANNABIS ARRESTS
Study finds that cannabis legalisation has reduced arrests even in states that already decriminalised
A new study is challenging a key argument from legalisation opponents who say that cannabis reform should be limited to simple decriminalisation because it would similarly end cannabis arrests, reports Marijuana Moment.
Published by the American Medical Association, the study found that comprehensive reform produces maximal results if the goal is to stop arresting people over cannabis, with legalisation being associated with a 76% drop in cannabis arrests in states that hadn’t previously decriminalised cannabis.
The paper stated: “If we compare the benefits of RCL [recreational cannabis legalisation] and cannabis decriminalisation based solely on their associations with cannabis possession arrests, this study and the existing literature suggest that both RCL and decriminalisation are associated with a sizable reduction in adult arrest rates.
“Even after decriminalisation was implemented, adults could still benefit from a further reduction in arrests under RCL. The argument that RCL could reduce individual contact with the criminal justice system is supported.”
