The Tennessee General Assembly is witnessing a renewed push for cannabis reform in 2025. Lawmakers have introduced bicameral legislation to legalize both medical and adult-use cannabis. However, the effort remains highly partisan, with competing proposals and legislative hurdles posing significant challenges.
Iowa’s medical cannabis program remains one of the most restrictive in the country, to the extent that some advocacy groups do not even recognize it as a legitimate cannabis market. With stringent limitations on product availability, patient access, and dispensary operations, the state’s program offers minimal relief compared to more robust medical cannabis frameworks elsewhere. However, with several reform bills in play this session, Iowa may see incremental changes in 2025.
Texas Cannabis Reform remains a hot-button issue in 2025 as lawmakers debate the state’s restrictive medical cannabis program, the booming hemp-derived THC market, and potential pathways for broader legalization. Despite overwhelming public support for cannabis reform, legislative action remains uncertain in the Lone Star State.
