Job Corps' New Stance On Cannabis, Virginia Marijuana Bill Approved And More Reg Updates
A Virginia House panel green-lighted a revised "compromise" version of a bill to legalize and regulate retail marijuana sales in the commonwealth on Thursday. SB 448 from Sen. Aaron R. Rouse (D) advanced through the Senate earlier this month and was passed by the House General Laws Committee on a 12–10 vote. In the meantime, Job Corps, a drug-free and alcohol-free federal program, updated its marijuana drug-testing policy so that testing positive on cannabis would not be a reason for an automatic dismissal. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) said It will be adding Quick Response (QR) codes to mailed temporary receipts and registration cards by the end of February. New Jersey cannabis activists have gathered at the State House in Trenton on Thursday to celebrate the milestone of over 100,000 people of all ages having avoided being handcuffed over small amounts of cannabis.
