Surge in Cannabis Smuggling Prompts Thailand to Tighten Rules
Thailand aims to clamp down on easy access to cannabis by mandating medical prescriptions amid rising instances of tourists attempting to smuggle out large quantities of weed. Dispensaries will be allowed to sell cannabis only to those with licenses or with prescriptions from medical professionals, including traditional medicine practitioners, when proposed changes to existing rules take effect in about 40 days. The amount sold will also be limited to 30 days of use, according to the Ministry of Public Health.

How many cannabis dispensaries are there in the Lower Hudson Valley? See our map
The marijuana industry continues to grow across the country— and since New York legalized the sale and consumption of cannabis in 2021 for adults, hundreds of legal dispensaries have opened across the Empire State. The arrival of the village of Haverstraw's first legal dispensary, 202 Cannabis Co., in early May, brings Westchester and Rockland's number of legal pot shops up to 19. Read on to learn more about the Lower Hudson Valley's marijuana shops, and where to find them. The first licenses were given to 32 dispensaries in 2022 through the Conditional Adult Use Retail Dispensary program, which granted priority licenses to business owners directly impacted by prior marijuana convictions, or nonprofits with a history of helping incarcerated people. However, the CAURD program met some push back in August 2023, when a state judge blocked new licenses from being granted after a group of service-disabled veterans claimed that state regulators "unconstitutionally awarded initial dispensary licenses to businesses impacted by prior marijuana convictions." This ruling paused licenses from being granted and dispensaries from being open until October 2023. See our map below to find where dispensaries are located in Westchester and Rockland counties. The following is a list of all the legal and licensed dispensaries currently open in the Lower Hudson Valley: 202 Cannabis Co.: 81 West Ramapo Road, Haverstraw Elevate Cannabis: 127 S.

Minnesota's White Earth Nation To Open Cannabis Shops Off Tribal Lands
The White Earth Band of Chippewa will be the first tribal nation in Minnesota to open cannabis dispensaries outside of tribal lands under a compact with the state government signed by Democratic Gov. Walz this week. The compact, which allows the White Earth Nation to open cannabis dispensaries throughout the state, was signed by Walz on Tuesday. Eric Taubel, interim director of the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), said the compact agreement is the first nationwide that allows native American tribal governments to license and operate cannabis dispensaries off tribal lands. Sales of recreational marijuana began at the White Earth Nation's dispensary on tribal lands in in Mahnomen, Minnesota in 2023, the same year the state legalized cannabis for adults. 'I think it's a great statement about Minnesota and Minnesota values, and the respect we have for our neighbors, whether it's a literal next-door neighbor or the nations that we share territory with,' Taubel told MPR News. 'It's an opportunity for tribes to succeed in a sort of marketplace that can drive substantial benefits to their members.' Taubel also noted that the White Earth Nation is the first tribal government to sign a cannabis compact with the state, which were authorized by Minnesota's 2023 marijuana legalization law. 'What the compact really tries to do is delineate in a sense who's doing what and where are they doing it, and then importantly, on top of that, which of the two governments is in charge of regulating those actions when they occur, either on or off tribally regulated lands,' said Taubel. The compact agreement permits the White Earth Nation to operate up to eight cannabis dispensaries outside of tribal lands. Under the agreement, the dispensaries must be regulated by tribal regulations that meet or exceed the state's cannabis rules. Zach Wilson, CEO of the White Earth Nation's cannabis enterprise, Waabigwan Mashkiki, said he expects the business to open its first dispensary off tribal lands in Moorhead in the coming week. He added that the business plans to open another dispensary in St. Cloud by the end of June and to continue opening shops throughout the state until the business reaches the limit of eight retailers specified by the compact. 'Very excited to see it come to fruition. It's just such a historical moment for not only White Earth and the tribes in the state of Minnesota, but really this is going to help set a precedent nationwide of what type of compacts can be drafted, can be negotiated and worked on throughout the country,' said Wilson. 'So very proud of the team, for Waabigwan, the White Earth Reservation RBC and tribal council. It's just a very, very humbling, exciting moment.' Taubel said that Minnesota lawmakers included participation by in the regulated cannabis industry by tribal nations in the 2023 legalization law, which authorizes the governor to negotiate compact agreements with tribal governments. 'We also set forth one of the key elements that the state sought in these compact negotiations, which is a uniformity of standards and uniformity of experience for customers and consumers in the marketplace,' said Taubel. More than half of the tribal nations in Minnesota have developed cannabis enterprises since the state legalized cannabis in 2023. Like the White Earth Nation, several tribes operate dispensaries on their respective lands, including Red Lake Nation, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, Prairie Island Indian Community, Fond du Lac Band and Lower Sioux Indian Community.

White Earth Nation gets approval to open cannabis shops off tribal land
Tribal nation gets green light to open cannabis dispensaries across Minnesota Tribal nation gets green light to open cannabis dispensaries across Minnesota Tribal nation gets green light to open cannabis dispensaries across Minnesota An agreement between the state of Minnesota and White Earth Nation gives the tribal nation the green light to open cannabis dispensaries across the state. On Tuesday, Gov. Tim Walz signed the first tribal-state compact authorized under Minnesota's 2023 cannabis law. According to Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), the agreement allows the White Earth Nation to open up to eight dispensaries outside of Tribal lands. OCM says sales of cannabis products off tribal lands are subject to all state and local taxes. The 2023 law greenlit recreational marijuana with a gross receipts tax of 10% on sales at licensed businesses. A budget agreement announced May 15 would raise it to 15%. The approved tax hike would be in addition to the state sales tax rate of 6.975% and any local sales taxes. This applies to low-dose, THC edibles derived from hemp, too. White Earth Nation has plans for locations in Moorhead and St. Cloud. OCM says with the compact signed, tribal dispensaries can open their doors to the public.
