Pot legalization group says North Dakota is ‘intentionally misleading’ voters on measure’s financial impact
https://www.jamestownsun.com/news/north-dakota/pot-legalization-group-says-north-dakota-is-intentionally-misleading-voters-on-measures-financial-impact
Dave Owen, the chairman of New Approach North Dakota, said the abbreviated fiscal note tacked onto his group’s measure is “obviously incomplete” and “intentionally misleading” for voters.
Marijuana legalization has proven a financial windfall for other states, and even a conservative assessment of tax revenue from pot would show North Dakota in the black by millions of dollars, Owen said.
If the legalization measure passes in November, all marijuana sales would be taxed at the statewide rate of 5%, plus local sales taxes of up to 3%. That doesn’t include a much higher excise tax — also known as a “sin tax” — that lawmakers could impose on pot sales.
Using other legal pot states like Montana and Nevada for comparison, North Dakota State University economics professor Raymond March estimates North Dakota would see about $6 million in annual sales tax revenue if pot were sold legally at dispensaries.
Dustin Gawrylow, a self-described fiscally conservative government watchdog who sits on the legalization measure’s sponsoring committee, puts the state’s annual revenue figure at $8 million to $10 million. Gawrylow based his calculation on Montana’s marijuana sales this year and adjusted for North Dakota’s lower population.
Omitting projected tax revenue from the fiscal note is “not logical,” he said, adding that the money brought into the state by legal pot sales would far exceed the costs of the program.
New Jersey Lays Out Guidance For Cannabis Rules in the Workplace
https://hightimes.com/news/new-jersey-lays-out-guidance-for-cannabis-rules-in-the-workplace/
Legal adult-use cannabis sales in New Jersey officially launched in April following the passage of a ballot measure in 2020 to legalize recreational pot in the state.
In August, the Cannabis Regulatory Commission said that the state generated almost $80 million in the first ten weeks of legal marijuana sales.
“The market is improving. It is performing as we expect with the current number of dispensaries, the spread of locations, and the high prices,” Brown said in a statement at the time. “As more cannabis businesses come online, consumers won’t have to travel as far to make purchases, and prices will fall with increased competition. The market will do even better.”
United Kingdom Blocks Bermuda Territory from Legalizing Cannabis
https://hightimes.com/news/united-kingdom-blocks-bermuda-territory-from-legalizing-cannabis/
Media reports that the denial of approval for Bermuda’s bill has caused tension in relations between the U.K. and Bermuda. Bermuda Attorney General Kathy Lynn Simmons explained that this won’t be the end for cannabis in the country. “Disappointing, but not surprising, given the confines of our constitutional relationship with the UK government and their archaic interpretation of the narcotic conventions,” Simmons said. “The people of Bermuda have democratically expressed their desire for a regulated cannabis licensing regime, following the strong endorsement at the ballot box and an extensive public consultation process. The Government of Bermuda intends to continue to advance this initiative, within the full scope of its constitutional powers, in keeping with our 2020 general election platform commitment.
