Global Cannabis and CBD News Roundup YouTube
 
Hi,

We are hopeful that South Dakota, North Dakota, and Florida legalize cannabis on election day while Nebraska’s medical efforts face a legal snag. An accountant organization pushed for tax relief for cannabis businesses as the IRS considers reclassification. Meanwhile, despite alcohol-related harms, industry lobbying has kept alcohol prices low. I wonder how cannabis's popularity will affect alcohol prices.

Have a peaceful week!
Jessica
