Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, once praised by legendary investor Warren Buffett as &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/03/31597506/jay-z-says-music-is-like-stocks-warren-buffett-praises-billionaire-rapper-as-the-guy-to-lea">the guy to learn from</a>,&#8221; has come a long way from his Brooklyn roots.
The hip-hop mogul&#8217;s journey from survival mode to embracing emotional intelligence offers valuable insights into his personal and professional growth.
What Happened: In a 2022 conversation with comedian Kevin Hart, Jay-Z opened up about his personal growth and the importance of emotional intelligence.
The rapper, who became hip-hop&#8217;s first billionaire in 2019, admitted that growing up in the projects taught him survival skills but not emotional intelligence.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been taught everything but emotional intelligence,&#8221; Jay-Z said, adding, &#8220;As a young man growing up in the projects, you&#8217;re taught to survive.&#8221;
However, he also spoke about how learning to see things from other people&#8217;s perspectives has helped him grow.
This growth mindset has not only improved his personal life but also contributed to his professional success.

Why It's Important: Since 2019, Jay-Z has more than doubled his fortune, with Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/jay-z/">estimating</a> his current net worth at $2.5 billion.&nbsp;
The rapper's wealth stems from his Armand de Brignac champagne and D&#8217;Usse cognac brands, while his holdings span from venture capital funds to his entertainment company Roc Nation.
Over the years, Jay-Z has made several high-profile business moves.
This includes selling a 50% stake in his champagne brand Armand de Brignac also known as Ace of Spades to French luxury giant LVMH&nbsp; in 2021.&nbsp;
In February last year, he offloaded a majority stake in his cognac brand D&#8217;Usse to Bacardi.
Beyond these ventures, his diverse portfolio also includes a valuable fine art collection, his extensive music catalog, and investments in major companies such as Block and Uber.

Jay-Z, Praised by Warren Buffett as 'The Guy to Learn From,' Once Said He Wasn't Taught Emotional Intelligence, But How To Survive — The Rap Legend's Growth Has Made Him Not Just A Better Person, But Also Worth $2.5B Today

In the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris continues to hold a slender lead over Republican Donald Trump, as per the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll.
What Happened: As detailed by Reuters on Friday, Harris has a 3-point lead over Trump, with 45% to 42% respectively. This gap is consistent with a poll conducted a week earlier. The recent survey, which ended on Sunday, suggests a potential rise in voter enthusiasm, especially among Democrats, compared to the 2020 presidential election.
About 78% of registered voters, which includes 86% of Democrats and 81% of Republicans, expressed complete certainty in casting their vote in the upcoming election. This figure is higher than the 74% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in late October 2020.
Harris jumped into the presidential contest in July after President Biden ceased his re-election campaign. Despite Trump&#8217;s initial lead due to his perceived economic prowess, Harris seems to be gaining traction with voters, particularly on healthcare policy and handling political extremism. However, voters still rate the economy as the number one issue, favoring Trump as the better economic steward.

With the election outcome potentially hinging on seven battleground states, candidates are vying for voters to turnout at the polls. The latest Reuters/Ipsos survey indicates a close race, with Harris holding a 3-point lead over Trump among likely voters.
Why It Matters: Harris&#8217;s lead over Trump has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41347642/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-holds-lead-in-2024-election-poll-but-former-president-is-closing-">fluctuating in recent weeks</a>, with her lead shrinking from a record high six points last week. However, she has managed to maintain a lead in many election polls.
The race to the White House has become <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41331062/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-goes-from-deficit-to-slender-lead-in-new-poll-but-battleground-states">too close for comfort</a>, with Harris leading Trump by just a point in the Harvard CAPS Harris poll conducted between Oct. 11-13.
Despite Trump's slight advantage in swing states, Harris holds a substantial 8-point lead <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41322493/trump-ahead-of-harris-shows-poll-among-early-voters-in-key-battlegrounds-ex-presidents-swing-state-s">among early voters</a> nationwide, with 51% support compared to Trump's 43%.

Trump Falls 3 Points Behind Harris In New Poll, Economic Worries Dominate Voter Concerns: Report

DLPN

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

A week after having a record lead over Donald Trump in a weekly head-to-head poll of likely voters, Vice President Kamala Harris sees her lead shrink with less than one month until the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Harris has had the lead over Trump in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/election-poll"> many election polls </a>and until recent weeks saw her election betting odds and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41284530/trump-widens-lead-over-harris-in-betting-odds-on-prediction-markets-sets-a-new-high-on-cry"> prediction market odds</a> top the former president.
A new Morning Consult <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling">poll </a>of likely voters shows Harris' lead dropping from a record high six points last week. Harris maintains a lead, something she has been able to accomplish most weeks since President Joe Biden dropped out of the election race.
The new poll shows the following results from voters, with results from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41241771/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-hits-record-lead-in-2024-election-poll-but-independent-voters-cou"> the Oct. 8 poll </a>in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 50% (51%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 46% (45%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 2% (2%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 2% (2%)</li>
</ul>
The poll also found that 94% of Democrats backed Harris as their top pick, in line with last week's poll. The poll also found 92% of Republicans backed Trump as their top pick, in line with last week's poll.
Independent voters selected the following as their head-to-head preference, with the results from the Oct. 8 poll in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 46% (45%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 42% (44%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 6% (5%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 6% (5%)</li>
</ul>
The vice president also has the edge in the 18-34 age voters demographic, leading 55% to 43%. The 12-point lead is higher than last week's 10-point advantage, but down from a lead of 15 points three weeks ago. &nbsp;

</ul>
Why It's Important:&nbsp;While Harris sees her lead drop from six points to four points, she still maintains an edge over the former president in the national poll of likely voters.
The vice president also saw her lead in the key Independent voters and young voters demographics grow from the prior poll. Independent voters remain a key demographic for the 2024 election and Harris has a four-point advantage after last week saw the vice president have a narrow one-point advantage.
The newest poll could show that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41214476/will-kamala-harriss-media-blitz-including-60-minutes-and-call-her-daddy-improve-her-2024-el">Harris' media blitz </a>that included appearances on the Call Her Daddy podcast, "60 Minutes," "The Howard Stern Show," "The View" and taking part in a Town Hall may not have paid off in gaining support from voters.
With a gain in Independent and young voters, the media blitz may be working in gaining support from key demographics according the results though.

Harris Vs. Trump: Vice President Holds Lead In 2024 Election Poll, But Former President Is Closing The Gap

The head-to-head matchup between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remains close in election polls and betting odds with less than one month until the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 election day.</a>
The two methods of predicting the winner of the 2024 presidential election appear to differ on who will be sworn in on inauguration day in January 2025.
What Happened: Election polls<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/election-poll"> show a close race</a> between Trump and Harris, with the current vice president getting the edge in most national polls of registered polls.
While some swing state polls point to Trump winning the key battleground states, most national polls show Harris with a strong chance of winning the 2024 election.
After Harris led betting odds and prediction markets for some time, both of these key indicators have shifted to favoring Trump as the winner of the 2024 election, which could put election polls and betting odds in different camps when it comes to predicting a winner.
The betting odds at Bet365 show Trump as the favorite to return to the White House, as reported by <a href="https://www.covers.com/politics/us-election-betting-odds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Covers</a>.
Trump is listed as the favorite at -150, implying a 60% chance of winning the election and Harris listed at +120 as the underdog with an implied chance of 45.6% to win the election.
The betting odds differ from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40993290/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-betting-odds-show-vice-president-maintains-lead-as-race-near"> less than a month ago</a> when Harris was listed as the favorite with odds of -125 and Trump was listed as the underdog at +120.
For comparison, Trump was the favorite at odds of -125 and Harris was listed at +100 back in August.
Polymarket, which calls itself the world&#8217;s largest prediction market, offers betting on items in categories such as politics, sports, cryptocurrency, pop culture and more.
The Polymarket 2024 election outcome winner&nbsp;<a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1729025356478" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market&nbsp;</a>has over $1.9 billion in wagers placed and continues to be one of the most popular markets. The current odds show Trump with a 57.9% chance of winning and Harris with a 41.9% chance of winning.
This differs significantly from weeks ago when Harris was the favorite at 51% and Trump had less than 50%.
On Polymarket, users can deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network, or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). In each betting market, the winning option pays out at $1.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Trump has mostly been in the lead on Polymarket, with Harris remaining close and sometimes taking the lead. Trump held a lead of eight points ahead of the September presidential debate before the two candidates ended up tied after the debate and shortly after.
Harris has seen her odds on the prediction market drop significantly in recent weeks, while Trump's odds to win have come roaring back.
The betting odds and prediction markets have often fluctuated with key political events and assassination attempts on Trump often impacting the markets.
An assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania led to the former president becoming a huge favorite at -250 with then presidential candidate President Joe Biden at +500 and Harris at +800.
Following the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/07/39868243/2024-election-betting-odds-joe-biden-has-8-chance-of-winning-according-to-sportsbooks-pred" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;first presidential debate</a>, Trump had odds of -175, with Harris at +400 topping the odds of Biden at +800 before his withdrawal from the race.
In&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39625294/2024-election-betting-odds-react-to-biden-debate-disaster-trump-odds-hit-all-time-high-kam" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">late June</a>, Trump was listed with odds of -188 with Biden at +350 and Harris significantly behind at +2,200.
Keep in mind that back in January 2021, it was Harris who was the favorite to win the 2024 election with odds of +350 based on the plan that Biden would not run for re-election. Biden and Trump trailed Harris at the time at odds of +400 and +650, respectively.
Most election polls point to seven key swing states that could decide the outcome of the 2024 election. Betting odds for six of the swing states are listed on Bet365, as reported by Covers and are listed below:
<ul>
<li>Arizona: Harris +220, Trump -275</li>
<li>Georgia: Harris +162, Trump -200</li>
<li>Michigan: Harris -125, Trump +100</li>
<li>North Carolina: Harris +150, Trump -188</li>
<li>Pennsylvania: Harris +100, Trump -120</li>
<li>Wisconsin: Harris -125, Trump +100</li>
</ul>
The betting odds imply that Trump would win five of the seven states taking a total of 62 electoral college votes represented by the six states above. Harris would win two states and secure 25 of the 87 electoral college votes.
The election polls and betting odds may differ, but both still show a close race expected between Trump and Harris.

Whether to sell or hold a stock largely depends on an investor's strategy and risk tolerance. Swing traders may sell an outperforming stock to lock in a capital gain, while long-term investors might ride out the turbulence in anticipation of further share price growth.

Investors can compare a stock's movement to its historical performance to gauge whether this is a normal movement or a potential trading opportunity. 
Investors may also consider market dynamics. The Relative Strength Index can be used to indicate whether a stock is overbought or oversold. Southwest Gas stock currently has an RSI of 65.28, indicating neutral conditions.

NexPoint Residential Trust Says Its Properties Did Not Sustain Any Material Damages Due To Hurricane Milton

The U.S. Supreme Court is grappling with a complex case involving a former truck driver, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38523812/ny-supreme-courts-landmark-ruling-upholds-medical-marijuana-patients-rights-under-human-rights-l">Douglas Horn</a>, who claims he was wrongfully fired after a failed drug test, which he attributes to a &#8220;CBD-rich medicine.&#8221; 
Horn is suing under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, a law designed to combat organized crime, seeking triple damages for what he describes as a business or property injury.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Divided Court: &#8216;Medical Marijuana Did Not Fire You&#8217;</h1>
The court was divided during Tuesday's arguments. Some of the conservative justices seemed wary of allowing Horn's case to move forward, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/15/politics/cbd-trucker-supreme-court/index.html">noted</a> CNN, fearing it could lead to a surge in RICO lawsuits over routine personal injuries.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh called Horn's legal theory a "radical shift" in how tort claims are handled in the U.S., Chief Justice John Roberts also raised concerns about the broader implications of the case and Justice Clarence Thomas said, "Medical Marijuana did not fire you."
Conversely, the Court's liberal justices, led by Justice Elena Kagan, argued Horn had indeed suffered a business injury. Kagan pointed out that losing one's job could be considered a harm to one's business under the RICO law. "If you've been injured in your business, which includes your employment, then you're entitled to threefold damages," Kagan stated, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/15/us/supreme-court-thc-truck-driver-drug-test.html">according</a> to the New York Times.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson agreed. "He's not claiming that he got ill because of the product. He's not saying he was personally injured. He didn't even know that he had ingested THC until the testing and the firing."

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's It All About?</h1>
Horn's legal journey began in 2012 after he tried a CBD product called "Dixie X," which he believed did not contain THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis. After failing a drug test, Horn was fired. He then sued the companies behind the CBD product, including Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MJNA#OTC">MJNA</a>), Dixie Holdings and Red Dice Holdings, alleging that they had engaged in a pattern of racketeering carried on through an enterprise that included mail and wire fraud.
A federal district court initially ruled against Horn, but the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed his suit to proceed.
Medical Marijuana and the other companies argue Horn's injury is personal, not a business or property harm as required under RICO. They said a ruling in Horn's favor would dramatically expand the scope of civil RICO lawsuits, turning what they described as a &#8220;garden-variety products-liability&#8221; case into something much larger.
A decision is expected next year.

The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Coinbase Global&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. Active traders interpret this particular indicator as a bullish signal.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Cybersecurity firm Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>) said it observed cyberthreats and darknet activity that threatens the integrity of the U.S. 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41331190/fortinet-fortiguard-labs-observes-darknet-activity-targeting-the-2024-united-states-presidential-e">presidential election.</a>
The Details: Fortinet released an <a href="https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/intelligence-reports/FortiGuard-Labs-2024-US-Election-Security-Report.pdf">intelligence report</a> titled, "Threat Actors Targeting the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election" on Tuesday which revealed threats tied to U.S.-based entities, voters and the electoral process.&nbsp;
&#8220;As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, it&#8217;s critical to recognize and understand the cyberthreats that may impact the integrity and trustworthiness of the election process and the welfare of the participating citizens," said Derek Manky, chief security strategist and vice president of Global Threat Intelligence at Fortinet.&nbsp;
Scams Targeting The Election: According to the report, the company&#8217;s FortiGuard Labs researchers identified more than 1,000 newly registered domain names that incorporate election-related terms and references to prominent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41331062/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-goes-from-deficit-to-slender-lead-in-new-poll-but-battleground-states">political figures</a> in an attempt to trick site visitors into thinking they have visited an official campaign-related page.
Fortinet also pointed to one threat actor that sells two distinct phishing kits, priced at $1,260 each, designed to impersonate presidential candidates Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
AI Impersonations: AI-enhanced and AI-generated content are becoming increasingly commonplace and potent tools used by threat actors in disinformation campaigns. Fortinet's report revealed threat actors on the Darknet advertise deepfake services starting at just $15, making the technology easily accessible to threat actors.&nbsp;

Ransomware Attacks: Fortinet said ransomware attacks targeting government agencies increase before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate">an election</a> and can impact the electoral process. The FortiGuard Labs research team observed a 28% spike in ransomware attacks against the U.S. government in 2024 compared to 2023. 
Espionage Landscape: The report highlighted a total of 23 state-sponsored adversaries have been documented targeting the U.S., with China leading in activity, followed by Russia and Iran. Fortinet said it anticipates increased cyber espionage activities from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korean threat actors aimed at disrupting or manipulating the electoral process and U.S. political landscape.&nbsp;
Safeguards: Fortinet said individuals and organizations can protect themselves by practicing good cyber hygiene which includes using multi-factor authentication and strong passwords, remaining vigilant against suspicious activity and updating software regularly.&nbsp;
"Remaining vigilant and identifying and analyzing potential cyberthreats and vulnerabilities is crucial for preparing and safeguarding against the lures and targeted cyberattacks that could take advantage of a heightened moment in time and even disrupt or influence electoral outcomes,&#8221; Manky concluded.&nbsp;
FTNT Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Fortinet shares ended Tuesday's session 0.23% lower at $82.64.

Hemp regulation is among the most important regulation battles underway in the cannabis space at the moment. This ongoing conflict, which involves multiple stakeholders, has recently experienced various developments. Let&#8217;s review them.
In early October, hemp stakeholders faced significant challenges in both California and New Jersey as court rulings<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41297880/california-judge-rules-gov-newsoms-hemp-ban-stands-despite-industry-pushback"> largely upheld</a> strict regulations on intoxicating hemp products.
A federal judge in California ruled against hemp producers, affirming the state&#8217;s right to enforce emergency regulations that restrict the sale of intoxicating hemp substances, including synthetic products like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/delta-8-thc">delta-8 THC </a>and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41295350/czech-senate-approves-restrictions-on-sale-of-kratom-and-hhc-products">HHC</a>. 
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, hemp businesses gained a partial victory when a judge found parts of the state's new law violated federal commerce regulations, but most of the law remains intact.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">California's Regulatory Win Puts Hemp On Notice</h3>
California's hemp industry suffered a major defeat when Judge Stephen I. Goorvitch ruled in favor of the state's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41012794/gov-newsoms-hemp-ban-goes-into-effect-consequences-for-industry-investors-patients">emergency regulations</a> aimed at controlling intoxicating hemp products. 
The restrictions, enacted to protect young consumers, include bans on the sale of THC-containing products to those under 21 and limits on servings per package. Non-intoxicating CBD products, however, remain available for purchase.
The U.S. Hemp Roundtable which led the legal challenge, argued that the regulations would harm medicinal CBD users by limiting product availability. The court dismissed these concerns, with Goorvitch noting that THC-free CBD products can still be sold at retail stores, while products containing THC can only be sold in licensed dispensaries.
In an official <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/10/11/court-shuts-down-industry-attempt-to-block-enforcement-of-californias-hemp-regulations/">statement</a>, Attorney General Rob Bonta praised the decision.
"In California, we have established strict prohibitions against intoxicating cannabinoids in hemp products, regardless of whether they are naturally sourced or synthetic. The California Department of Justice remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding the interests of legitimate businesses that operate with integrity in this industry. I take immense pride in our Cannabis Control Section and the tireless dedication they have shown in ensuring the success of this initiative," Bonta said.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Pyrrhic Victory For Hemp Industry In New Jersey</h3>
Meanwhile, in a mixed decision, U.S. District Court Judge Zahid N. Quraishi upheld much of New Jersey&#8217;s stringent law regulating intoxicating hemp products. The law places intoxicating hemp under the same restrictions as cannabis, requiring businesses to halt sales until licensed by the state's Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC).
While Quraishi upheld the bulk of the law, he sided with plaintiffs on certain points, agreeing that parts of the law violate the dormant commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.

You can&#8217;t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
Specifically, he ruled that New Jersey cannot unfairly burden out-of-state hemp businesses by subjecting them to civil and criminal penalties, <a href="https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/10/10/judge-gives-partial-win-to-businesses-that-challenged-new-hemp-law/#:~:text="The%20New%20Jersey%20Legislature%20can,in%20his%2024%2Dpage%20decision.">reported</a> New Jersey Monitor. 
"The New Jersey Legislature can continue to otherwise regulate the production of hemp as stringently as it would like so long as it does not prohibit the transportation or shipment of hemp or hemp products," Quraishi wrote in his decision.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other States Join The Regulatory Battle: Tennessee And Utah</h3>
New Jersey and California are not alone in their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40805538/missouri-joins-crackdown-on-unregulated-cannabis-announces-new-taskforce-as-national-hemp-debate">crackdown</a> on psychoactive hemp. Tennessee and Utah are also moving forward with stricter regulations, <a href="https://hemptoday.net/judges-rule-against-intoxicating-hemp-producers-back-restrictions-in-california-nj/">reported</a> Hemp Today.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/37040253/tennessee-virginia-lawmakers-push-for-cannabis-reform-congressional-researchers-highlight-perils">Tennessee</a>, new rules set to take effect on December 26, 2024 change how THC levels in products are measured, which could effectively ban hemp flower and other popular products.
Businesses have pushed back, with the Tennessee Growers Coalition filing a lawsuit arguing that the regulations overstep state law and conflict with the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill.
Meanwhile, Utah is in the final stages of its legislative push to ban hemp products. The state's Department of Agriculture and Food has opened a public comment period, which ends October 15, before finalizing the regulations.

PAX, a globally recognized cannabis brand, has launched its latest innovation in the vape category: an all-new, high-performance ERA system.
The new pen-and-pod vape promises users five times more vapor output, leading to heavier hits and richer, enhanced flavor experiences. This latest product update includes a complete redesign of both the ERA battery and pods, aligning with PAX&#8217;s reputation for quality and consumer-focused innovation.
The new system revolves around the ERA GO battery, which simplifies vaping with its single operating mode, enhanced USB-C charging and longer standby battery life. Designed with user convenience in mind, the battery also includes anti-clog technology and comes in fresh color options like gold, sky, lavender and black. Alongside the battery, PAX has introduced its high-performance ERA pods. These feature premium food-grade materials, a 200% larger atomizer and an improved pod seal that minimizes leaks, enhancing the overall user experience.
In addition to its user-friendly design, PAX ensures that its products maintain the highest safety standards. The new ERA system's closed-loop temperature control regulates low operating temperatures, preserving smoothness and flavor in every puff. &#8220;The launch of our high-performance ERA is a testament to PAX&#8217;s ongoing commitment to consumer-focused innovation, improving our product performance based on insights and feedback,&#8221; explained Scott Collins, senior director of hardware and product design at PAX. "We're thrilled to offer a harder-hitting experience—still on the same cleaner, safer system we've always been known for—in a way that delivers more value to our end customers."
Each product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure vapor is free from harmful substances such as heavy metals, crystalline silica and residual solvents. The redesigned ERA pods last 20% longer than typical 510 systems, further solidifying PAX's emphasis on efficiency and value.
The high-performance ERA system will be compatible with PAX's current lines, including Live Rosin with Diamonds, Diamonds, High Purity and Sleep pods, offering a range of strains and flavors from Strawberry Creme to Purple Afghani. Consumers can also purchase the system as a ready-to-use bundle that includes the popular Blue Dream Live Rosin and a gold ERA GO battery.
Initially, the new products will be available at select retailers across California, with expansions into Colorado, Massachusetts and New York markets expected in Q1 2025.
