/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
A newly disclosed Department of Justice guidance memo obtained by Marijuana Moment shows that officials knew the federal law denying gun rights to cannabis consumers is vulnerable to "potential litigation risk"—a revelation that comes as the Supreme Court is taking up a case on the issue.
The Congressional Research Service published a report on a newly approved federal ban on hemp THC products—saying it "remains unclear if and how" the prohibition will be applied and that Drug Enforcement Administration and Food and Drug Administration officials "may lack the resources to broadly enforce" it.
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) blocked Republican leaders' move to confirm Sara Carter Bailey as director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy on an expedited basis as part of a group of other nominees from President Donald Trump.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said the first medical cannabis products should be on dispensary shelves "within the next couple of weeks" and that the launch of sales is "very, very close"—pointing out that marijuana is an alternative for "people that might have otherwise been taking opioids."
The Ohio Senate is expected to vote this week on a bill to scale back the voter-approved marijuana legalization law by recriminalizing possession of cannabis purchased in another state and removing anti-discrimination protections for consumers in parental rights, organ transplants and professional licensing.

The World Health Organization's Expert Committee on Drug Dependence rejected a proposal to ease a global ban on coca leaf—even as a review showed the plant does not have any "clinically meaningful public health harms" but that its prohibition creates "substantial public health harms."
