In the meantime in Maryland, Curio Wellness was fined not sufficient cash ($26,000) for digging weed out of a dumpster and promoting it to its prospects.

All proper, just a few fast housekeeping earlier than all of us get out of right here: The Weekly “Meh” (title topic to alter at any level I really feel prefer it) is taking two weeks off so I can keep away from sitting in a darkened room in entrance of a pc for 40 hours per week. We’ll speak once more round March 22.
Not the worst week for parody (thanks Curio Wellness), however simply because there’s no stinking logs on the floor, that doesn’t imply the hashish media litterbox is by any means clear. This week’s not-so-buried treasures embody: Illinois planning to take steps ahead with social fairness program; Verano Holdings studies file income for 2023; and a white couple from Pasadena, California, is screwing up social fairness applications in a number of states. And in that order: At this level, Illinois might do nothing and it could nonetheless really feel like a step ahead for its social fairness program; Who brags about dropping $113 million, certain it’s a file, but it surely’s a extremely dangerous one; and screwing up social progress is a customized prosperous {couples} in Pasadena maintain dearly, please be respectful of their tradition.
