Is Your Cannabis License Safe? Supreme Court Petition Update

WHO GETS IN? The cannabis licensing fight reaches a new procedural step—not a Supreme Court ruling.

Sunday, September 20 at 3:05 PM Central with Thomas Howard and Miggy.

A petition asks the Supreme Court whether the dormant Commerce Clause applies to state and municipal cannabis-licensing schemes. Review has not been granted. We unpack the licensing dispute and nine more cannabis-law stories, separating filings and proposals from decisions and effective law.

This week's rundown:
• Supreme Court petition: who gets a cannabis license?
• Third Circuit strip-search limits—and why the plaintiff still lost on qualified immunity.
• New York's marijuana-odor argument, not a decision.
• Texas: a vacated judgment, but an opinion left standing.
• The Federal Reserve's proposed vendor-risk guide, not a new banking rule.
• TerrAscend's procedural defense, not a Section 280E merits ruling.
• Michigan's $2 million processor fine and licensing action.
• Rhode Island's hemp-removal bulletin and the federal dates behind it.
• Illinois HB5815: a filed cash-payment proposal, not an enacted program.
• Connecticut's separate concentrate and flower potency changes.
