Federal Marijuana Prohibition Faces Legal Challenge in Appeals Court A significant federal appeals court case is examining whether the longstanding prohibition on marijuana violates constitutional protections. Plaintiffs argue that enforcement of federal marijuana laws conflicts with individual liberties, states' rights, and due process. The case centers on whether federal policies can override state-legal cannabis programs and whether criminalization disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities. This case could set a precedent for future challenges to federal cannabis enforcement as legalization trends grow nationwide.   Please reach out to Holon Law Partners' Cannabis Practice Group at [email protected] with any questions regarding the legal, regulated cannabis and hemp industries.

On November 25, 2024, Ramsey County District Court Judge Stephen Smith halted Minnesota's planned cannabis license lottery, which was intended to provide certain applicants with a licensing advantage in the state's emerging marijuana retail market. The decision came after a group of applicants, who had been denied entry into the social equity pre-approval lottery, filed a lawsuit challenging the process's transparency and lack of an appeal mechanism. Judge Smith's ruling prevents the lottery from proceeding as scheduled, allowing time for further legal examination. The Office of Cannabis Management defended its vetting procedures, emphasizing efforts to exclude applicants seeking quick profits over establishing legitimate businesses.

Trump Taps Pro-Marijuana Legalization Congressman Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General In a surprising move, former President Donald Trump has named Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, an outspoken advocate for marijuana legalization, as his pick for U.S. Attorney General in his 2024 campaign platform. This choice has the potential to reshape federal cannabis policy, with Gaetz previously supporting measures to decriminalize marijuana and end federal prohibition. Key highlights: Gaetz’s appointment could align federal cannabis policy with the growing number of states embracing legalization. His track record suggests a focus on reducing federal interference in state-level cannabis programs. If confirmed, Gaetz’s leadership could signal a significant shift in the federal government’s approach to cannabis.
