\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The <\/span>Louisiana Senate<\/span><\/a> approved a House-passed bill to legalize smokable medical marijuana. Because the body added some technical amendments, the legislation must now head back to the House before going to Gov. John Bel Edwards (D).<\/span>
\n<\/span>

\n<\/span>

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Attorney General Merrick Garland<\/span><\/a> announced a new federal strategy involving the Drug Enforcement Administration and other agencies that aims to \u201creduce the level of violence in our communities, not to increase the number of arrests or prosecutions as if they were ends in themselves.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The chairman of the American Medical Marijuana Physicians Association reportedly arranged for access to <\/span>Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)<\/span><\/a> for an executive of Alternate Health Corp. while also soliciting $10,000 in campaign contributions.<\/span>

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Nevada<\/span><\/a> lawmakers sent bills reducing marijuana penalties for minors, rescinding per se driving thresholds for THC and allowing curbside pickup at dispensaries to the desk of Gov. Steve Sisolak (D).<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The <\/span>Colorado<\/span><\/a> House of Representatives <\/span>approved<\/span><\/a> a bill to enact limits on marijuana concentrates, place restrictions on medical cannabis recommendations and require the state to study the impacts of marijuana on certain health outcomes, among other changes.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The <\/span>Michigan<\/span><\/a> House of Representatives approved a bill to amend the definition of marijuana.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The <\/span>Pennsylvania<\/span><\/a> House of Representatives approved an amendment to let people with criminal records work in the medical cannabis industry, but defeated another <\/span>amendment<\/span><\/a> to maintain rules requiring that contaminated marijuana be destroyed.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The <\/span>Florida<\/span><\/a> Supreme Court upheld the state\u2019s medical cannabis regulations. The state\u2019s <\/span>agriculture commissioner<\/span><\/a> said the ruling helps only existing, large companies.<\/span>
