What’s better than a Super Bowl?

Good morning. Today is another post-Tom Brady Super Bowl Monday…

Last week was a busy week one in cannabis last week – with a major acquisition and more (and more) US states looking toward legalization. Not to mention, the US Senate Committee on Finance is taking a look at reform as well – in the midst of COVID relief and an impeachment trial.

Have a great week.

Virginia is for (pot) lovers

Hey New York and New Jersey lawmakers: You’re a bunch of losers.

VIRGINIA just lapped you on legalizing marijuana.

Think about that for a minute and then do your fucking jobs. https://t.co/kVjolugXqa
