Connecticut state lawmakers are proposing changes to state's cannabis policies as dispensaries face competition from out-of-state businesses. The Act Concerning Cannabis, Hemp and Infused Beverage Regulation would amend certain aspects of cannabis law to reflect laws in states like Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The bill aims to create better pathways for the marketplace, enhance medical use for medical use, and reduce limitations on potency within the cannabis beverage market. However, House Republicans have reservations about the proposal, citing concerns about impaired driving and public health.
