Social equity opportunities seem to be a very popular entryway into the Michigan cannabis business. That makes sense. Nearly 200 municipalities, including all of the state s largest cities, qualify for the fee-reduction and business-resource program. Social equity provisions only apply to recreational licensing, not medical. The basic idea of social equity is to help restore communities that have been disproportionately impacted by marijuana prohibition and enforcement by giving them a leg up in making some money off the thing that caused them so many problems. This even extends to individuals. The Marijuana Regulatory Agency offers a 40 percent licensing fee reduction to people with felony marijuana convictions, and a 25 percent reduction to those with misdemeanor convictions. Sort of a the badder you were then, the better for you now approach.

Tennessee filed an emergency request on Monday asking the US Supreme Court to reinstate a 48-hour mandatory waiting period for abortions pending appeal.
The law was challenged by several doctors and a medical center on behalf of their patients. US District Judge Bernard Friedman held in October that the waiting period was unconstitutional, following “five years of litigation and a four-day bench trial.” He blocked enforcement of the law, stating:
Defendants have failed to show that the challenged mandatory waiting period protects fetal life or the health of women in Tennessee. It is apparent that this waiting period unduly burdens women’s right to an abortion and is an affront to their “dignity and autonomy,” “personhood” and “destiny,” and “conception of … [their] place in society.”
