Connecticut set to legalize adult-use sales, federal reform bill expected in July

Connecticut will become the 18th U.S. state to legalize cannabis after the state's Senate voted in favour of legislation to allow sales of recreational marijuana. The bill now heads to the desk of Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont to formally become law, which is widely expected. Cannabis industry trade newssite MJBiz reports sales in the state could hit as high as US$750 million after four years of operation. The news comes amid thawing sentiment from southern U.S. states on cannabis legalization, with Marijuana Moment reporting that Texas and Louisiana are expected to sign cannabis reform bills tied to either medical usage or decriminalization efforts. This groundswell of cannabis support comes as policymakers and industry executives await a wide-ranging cannabis reform bill from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that Curaleaf Executive Chairman Boris Jordan said may be introduced in July. That can't come soon enough for some Canadian cannabis producers including Canopy Growth who are eyeing entry into the U.S. THC market, The Canadian Press reports.
