Medical Marijuana stories
Featured Opinion
The delays in medical marijuana availability aren't because of lawsuits, but the violations of laws those lawsuits target.
Featured Opinion
AMCC director John McMillan tried to paint his commission as a victim of frivolous lawsuits, but such a characterization defies logic and the truth.
President
Marijuana could soon be considered less dangerous in the eyes of the federal government.
Featured Opinion
A new bill from Sen. Tim Melson could fix the troubled medical marijuana licensing by doing the most basic thing: following the law.
Legislature
The new legislation was met with skepticism and anger during a committee meeting that wasn't streamed or recorded.
Legislature
The goal of a new medical weed bill is to "get the commission out of court," and it's not clear the bill does that.
Legislature
Legislation would expand the number of integrated licenses from five to as many as 15, ending many of the lawsuits currently facing the AMCC.
Courts

Courts
Central to this legal face-off is the Commission's licensing process, which has been under scrutiny for months.
