Today's stories share a question: who keeps what they built. Massachusetts will now vote on whether its decade-old adult-use market survives, and the campaign that put repeal on the ballot intends to export the result. Todd Blanche put the administration's boundary at medical in writing, under oath. The November 12th hemp deadline reached two new places, the seed vault and the bar tab. And in Vermont, regulators are learning that a suspension order is only as strong as the lock on the door.
🥊 Question 8 is real
⚖️ Blanche's written line
🧬 The seed vault meets November
🥃 Last call before the cliff
A republic, if you can keep it.
