California Treasurer Fiona Ma convened a hearing on cannabis banking Wednesday and used it to argue that Proposition 64 itself should be replaced, a striking place for the conversation to land a decade after the vote. Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones stood up a permanent enforcement unit for the intoxicants that keep arriving faster than the statutes meant to govern them. North Carolina's House is nearing an up-or-down vote on an unamendable hemp bill, with the state's sheriffs and prosecutors pulling one way and a brand-new business coalition pulling the other. And in Texas, the restrictions on converted cannabinoids take effect today. The thread running through all of it is institutional: who holds the pen, who does the unglamorous work, and who collects the headline for pointing at it.
