Global Cannabis and CBD News Roundup YouTube
Hi,

A former METRC executive filed a whistleblower lawsuit, alleging the company enabled illegal interstate cannabis sales and ignored data irregularities despite a $40M contract with California. The Netherlands expanded its cannabis experiment, allowing 80 coffee shops in 10 cities to legally sell cannabis from licensed growers, aiming to fix the long-standing issue of legal sales but illegal cultivation. Italy's government used emergency powers to ban hemp flowers, instantly criminalizing 22K honest Italian workers and jeopardizing a €2 billion industry. Che cosa?! It’s hemp, not heroin! Mama mia, il governo italiano! Sorry, I just love using emotional Italian expressions. ;)

Feel free to subscribe to our Cannabis or CBD News Roundups.

Thanks and have an amazing week!
Jessica
