Minnesota cannabis producers have raised concerns over the availability of products when the legal market finally opens. In response, the Minnesota legislature has acted quickly to allow an avenue for early cultivation providing key guidance for the forthcoming Minnesota legal cannabis market. Noting these concerns, industry participants have asked the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and their local legislators to consider opening cultivation and production of cannabis products early, in order to supply retailers with legal products to sell once licenses are awarded and retailers open for business.

The OCM’s problematic decision not to endorse or seek immediate changes for Minnesota cannabis production

The OCM issued a statement recently indicating it will not ask for changes to the current laws that would allow some cannabis cultivators to start growing plants early as a way to have products available and ready for retail when stores open sometime in early spring of 2025. The OCM notes that they remain receptive to proposals that could pave the way for early production, but are not seeking immediate action at this time. This recent decision highlights the issues and complexities of introducing a new legal cannabis market into an

Kaya Holdings Inc. (KAYS), a publicly traded and self-described “mind care company” that holds cannabis licenses in Oregon and Greece, announced this week that it has received a license to administer psilocybin products in Oregon.

Oregon is currently the only state with a program covering the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the naturally occurring psychedelic found in hallucinogenic mushrooms. The FDA has previously given certain formulations of psilocybin the “breakthrough therapy” designation as its studied for safety and efficacy as a depression treatment.

KAYS said in a press release that it’s planning to open its psychedelic treatment center, The Sacred Mushroom, within 30 days of receiving the license.

“The introduction of legal psilocybin treatments in Oregon marks the beginning of perhaps the most disruptive force in the mental health sector, transforming treatment protocol and redirecting resources,” KAYS CEO Craig Frank said in the press release.

“Our distinctive guest experience model, the environment offered by the size and design of the facility and the dedication of our staff are designed to make The Sacred Mushroom the premier choice for anyone turning to psychedelics for relief or transformation. For these reasons, I believe KAYS is well positioned to become a leader in the

Thailand’s Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said this week that he wants to make cannabis illegal again except for medicinal purposes, aligning with the re-criminalization plan proposed earlier this year by the country’s health minister, the Associated Press reports.

Srettha wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he asked the Health Ministry to add cannabis to its narcotics list once again and establish new rules governing medical cannabis access, the report said. In the announcement, the prime minister specifically highlighted concerns about youth access and increased crime rates.

Thailand became the first country in Asia to pass significant cannabis reforms when it decriminalized the plant in 2022 — that policy removed cannabis from the country’s narcotics list and legalized cannabis cultivation and trade to support medical access. But Thailand’s largely unchecked cannabis industry has burgeoned among locals and tourists alike, drawing public backlash and negative political attention.

The re-criminalization proposal seeks to reestablish criminal penalties for cannabis products with a THC level above 0.2%.

The country’s health minister predicted in March that Thailand’s cannabis decriminalization policy could be reversed by the end of the year.

Cannabis industry insiders in Thailand, meanwhile, have argued that the industry is too large to shut down
