The Cannabis Control Board is discussing, and possibly changing, some of the proposed rules and regulations for the recreational cannabis industry, based on the testimony it received during public hearings in November.
The goal during Monday’s board meeting is to start discussing the rules related to cultivation, retail stores, and enforcement and penalties, according to Chairwoman Vanessa Williams, who said more complex issues, such as licensing, will require further deliberation at other board meetings.
The Department of Revenue and Taxation continues to research some of the issues related to taxation, banking and licensing of the cannabis industry.
The cannabis board isn t required to hold further public hearings, even if it changes the rules and regulations.
