Commenting on the latter, Matthew Schweich, deputy director of the Marijuana Policy Project told Benzinga, “The majority of South Dakota voters support legalizing, regulating, and taxing marijuana for adults. Elected officials in the state have not taken action to effectuate the will of the people, so the only recourse for advocates is to bring this issue to the ballot for voters to decide.”

In Illinois, the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation disclosed sales of recreational marijuana had almost hit $11 million in their first week, while Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Midway Airport installed boxes for passengers to dispose of any cannabis they might have before boarding an airplane in the wake of the legalization of recreational marijuana in Illinois on Jan. 1.

In Kansas, Gov. Laura Kelly revealed two of the most important goals for the year, one being the expansion of Medicaid, and the other, medical marijuana legalization.

Meanwhile, the Argentine province of Chubut announced a government sponsored cannabis event, at the same time as Mexico prepares for its final debate around the regulation of legal cannabis.

Debra Borchardt, CEO of Green Market Report, told Benzinga, “We continue to see cannabis deals unwind and this week’s termination between Bhang and Origin House is the latest. However, Origin House did note that its deal with Cresco Labs is still on and looks to close pretty soon. The cannabis industry has taken a beating when it comes to valuations and most companies are focused on profitability and not expansion at this point, so I expect we’ll hear of fewer deals in the 2020.”
