Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak has made the final two appointments to the state’s Cannabis Compliance Board, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

Sisolak appointed Bryan Young, a Reno-based physician, and Riana Durrett, the former director of the Nevada Dispensary Association, to the five-member board, the news outlet reported.

The new members join former Nevada Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Douglas, former Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman Dennis Neilander and Las Vegas banking executive Jerrie Merrit on the board, which oversees the regulation of the state’s cannabis industry.

The board has met three times this year, the Las Vegas Sun reported, and will hold its next meeting Oct. 20.

The Virginia Legislature has passed legislation that would prohibit police stops based on cannabis odor, sending the bill to Gov. Ralph Northam, according to NORML.

Senate Bill 5029 and House Bill 5058 cleared the legislature in a special legislative session, and would limit the ability of law enforcement to conduct warrantless searches solely based on the smell of cannabis.

“While this will certainly decrease non-essential interactions between law enforcement and otherwise law-abiding Virginians, it is only by legalizing the responsible use of cannabis by adults that the Commonwealth can end its failed experiment with prohibition and begin repairing the decades of damage,” Jenn Michelle Pedini, NORML’s development director and the executive director of Virginia NORML, said in a public statement.

Virginia decriminalized the possession of less than one ounce of cannabis during this year’s regular legislative session, and the law took effect July 1.

The decriminalization bill also established a work group to study adult-use cannabis legalization in Virginia, and the group is expected to issue its recommendations by Nov. 30.

The West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis has issued 10 medical cannabis cultivation licenses, according to a MetroNews report.

The licensees are Mountaineer Holding LLC in Belle, Harvest Care Medical LLC in Kearneysville, Buckhannon Grow LLC in Buckhannon, Holistic WV Farms I LLC in Beaver, Verano WV LLC in Beaver, Columbia Care WV LLC in Falling Water, Tariff Labs LLC in Left Hand, Armory Pharmaceutical Inc in Buckhannon, Mountaineer Integrated Care Inc. in Fort Ashby and Blue Ridge Botanicals Ltd. in Southside.

“This is an important step in the process to make medical cannabis available to West Virginians with serious medical conditions and will generate economic activity throughout West Virginia,” Office of Medical Cannabis Director Jason Frame said in a public statement. “We continue to work toward a goal of providing eligible West Virginia residents the ability to procure quality-tested medical cannabis.”

Regulators will score processor and dispensary applications next, MetroNews reported, with the goal of launching medical cannabis sales in the spring of 2021.

A group of roughly 50 cannabis consumers and advocates met outside the Vermont Statehouse Oct. 4 to call on Gov. Phil Scott to veto a bill that would tax and regulate cannabis sales, according to a WCAX report.

The legislation, Senate Bill 54, cleared the legislature in a Sept. 22 Senate vote, and aims to establish a regulated system for the production and sale of adult-use cannabis products in the state.

The bill would create the Cannabis Control Board to oversee the commercial cannabis market, as well as a 12-member advisory board with appointed members that have experience in public health, social justice and equity issues, women- and minority-owned business ownership, and substance abuse prevention, as well as cannabis experience, WCAX reported.

Some who voiced opposition to the legislation claim that it fails to address social and racial justice issues, according to the news outlet. Among them was Vermont Racial Justice Alliance’s (VRJA) Mark Hughes, who expressed concerns about who would be appointed to sit on the advisory board, WACX reported.

The VRJA recently submitted proposals to the state legislature to revamp the legislation, according to the news outlet.

The Vermont Growers Association also turned out to express concerns about the bill, WACX reported, with member Geoffrey Pizzutillo telling the news outlet that the legislation would prevent many from transitioning from the state’s illicit market to the regulated one.

Scott received the bill Oct. 1, according to WACX, and can either sign it into law, veto it or allow it to become law without taking any action.
