Thousands of dollars’ worth of illegal drugs have been seized after another police raid at a magic mushroom dispensary in downtown Chatham.

Members of the Chatham-Kent Police Service Intelligence Unit executed a search warrant at Fun Guyz on King Street West on Thursday, July 4 as part of an ongoing investigation.

Officers seized over 311 packages of psilocybin, worth over $16,000. The drugs, which are considered a controlled substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act, will be analyzed as the investigation moves forward.

This is the third drug bust at the store since it opened in downtown Chatham in May.

Chatham-Kent Police say they remain committed to actively combating unlawful businesses, and remind members of the community that the possession, sale, and production of magic mushrooms, psilocybin, and psilocin are illegal.

Delaware’s Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) is warning of scams related to social equity cannabis licenses. OMC said out-of-state entities are contacting potential social equity applicants and trying to deceive them into paying to help secure an adult-use cannabis license. 

Delaware lawmakers legalized adult cannabis use last year but have not yet issued any licenses. 

“Here’s how to protect yourself:
– Do not pay upfront fees for help obtaining a social equity license.
– Beware of unsolicited calls, postcards or emails promising to guarantee a license.
– Trust official sources for information on social equity licensing. Refer to the OMC website or contact them directly for guidance.
– Consult with an attorney before signing any agreements or contracts.” — OMC in a press release 

The agency is asking individuals who are approached by scammers to report the incident to OMC. It indicated that the scams would be investigated by the state Department of Justice and Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement.  

Other states have warned of similar scams targeting would-be social equity applicants, including Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, and Vermont.

The Minnesota Department of Revenue says the state has generated $10,022,635 in taxes on hemp-derived THC products since the market launched nearly a year ago, according to a MinnPost report.

Minnesota legalized cannabis use for adults last year but the state’s full adult-use industry is not expected to launch until 2025. Lawmakers had previously legalized low-dose cannabis edibles and other products, and the market for hemp-derived cannabinoid products has steadily grown. Officials said the state earned $1,217,450 from 1,873 tax-paying businesses in May alone — and with the monthly taxes now exceeding $1 million per month, and with a 10% tax rate on the sale of hemp-derived cannabinoid products, officials estimated the hemp products market at about $130 million annually.

Some industry operators suggested the state’s numbers seemed low to them:

“$130 million from scratch, that’s pretty good but I think it’s underrepresented. To me they sound low based on what I know.” — Shawn Weber, president of the Minnesota Cannabis Growers Cooperative and co-owner of Crested River Cannabis, via MinnPost

Under the state’s low-potency hemp regulations, companies selling hemp products were required to register with the Department of Health’s Office of Medical Cannabis, which merged on Monday with the

TULSA, OKLA. (KTUL) — Tulsa Police responded to a shooting at a dispensary Friday morning at a shopping center near 61st and Memorial.

One person was taken to the hospital and one of the glass doors to the Bodega Boyz was shattered, the other door was boarded up.

Tulsa Police said officers got a call just before 4 a.m. about someone who had been shot multiple times and that an unknown man was trying to rob the dispensary.

The caller reported it was her boyfriend who fired the shots.

Officers arrived on the scene and found a white man lying on the sidewalk.

He was wearing a ski mask with a hoodie pulled over his head.

Police learned that the business had been burglarized the previous night, so an employee and his girlfriend were staying the night inside the business.

The employee woke up to the sound of glass breaking and saw the subject making his way inside the business.

Police report the employee grabbed his gun and shot the intruder.

The shooting victim was taken to the hospital and is stable.

Bi-partisan legislation introduced in Michigan aims to “modernize” the state’s cannabis laws by merging regulations for the adult-use and medical cannabis industry. The reforms would repeal the state’s 2016 Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, and the bill’s sponsors say the current dual regulatory system “has created burdens for businesses as well as the state’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency.”   

In a statement, State Rep. Graham Filler (R), said “Streamlining and simplifying these laws is a win for everyone involved – from businesses to patients to regulators.”   

“By modernizing the regulatory process, we can help businesses cut costs and increase efficiency.” — Filler in a press release 

Under the current regime, cannabis licensees must renew both a medical and recreational license annually to grow, process, transport, or sell cannabis products. The sponsors say the bill will reduce costs for businesses and improve government efficiency by requiring only one license per activity under the state’s cannabis legalization law while not making any changes to the system for medical cannabis patients and caregivers under the state’s 2008 medical cannabis law. 

State Rep. Jimmie Wilson, Jr. (D) said the proposal “is about making Michigan an attractive

A lawsuit filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for Wyoming is challenging a recent state law banning hemp-derived cannabinoids, such as delta-8 THC, Cowboy State Daily reports. The plaintiffs include 10 hemp businesses and one individual hemp seller who claim the law is unlawful under the 2014 federal Farm Bill which legalized hemp and the 2018 update to the law which prohibits states from blocking interstate commerce of hemp or hemp products. 

“(The new law) creates insurmountable confusion around criminal liability and destroys the mere act of processing hemp into consumable products. (We) face irreparable harm unless this court enjoins (the law).” — The lawsuit via Cowboy State Daily  

The lawsuit names Gov. Mark Gordon (R), who signed the bill into law in March, the state attorney general, the state director of agriculture, and all of Wyoming’s elected prosecutors as defendants.

The plaintiffs contend that the law unconstitutionally lets the state interfere with federal laws, violating the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause, and that the law threatens their businesses “with extinction” by recriminalizing the products, which have been legal in Wyoming since 2017. 

The lawsuit asks the judge to block the
