Whole Hemp Plant Could Soon Be Recognised as Agricultural Crop in the EU, but States Will Keep Power to Criminalise
The Council of the European Union has adopted proposals that would see the whole hemp plant, including inflorescences and leaves, recognised as an ordinary agricultural product. On October 19, the Council approved document ST 14647/26 as its ‘negotiating mandate’ for post-2027 agricultural market reform in what has been described as a turning point for industrial hemp across the EU. While this would mark the most significant change in regulation for the industrial hemp industry the EU has ever seen, it is still some way from the finish line. |

Kathy Hochul (D) said in a memo about her decision to pursue the chapter amendment process on the legislation, which involves her signing it but only after reaching an agreement with lawmakers to enact changes at the start of the next session. |

We’re retired law enforcement officers. Don’t turn back the clock on cannabis reform.
TEN YEARS AGO, Massachusetts voters made a clear choice about how the state should approach marijuana. After decades of policy defined by prohibition, their 2016 vote on a ballot question created a legal, regulated retail market for cannabis. For those of us in law enforcement, the vote prompted serious reflection. Many of us had spent our careers enforcing cannabis laws. But to what end? The question was not simply whether marijuana carried risks, but whether prohibition was an effective or appropriate response to those risks. We also had to consider the consequences of criminalizing conduct involving consenting adults. |

Cannabis shops in malls in South Africa and the legality issues
We have long wondered about the legality issues of the cannabis shops we see in many malls across South Africa. People are currently allowed to grow for private consumption, not to deal in these shops. Indeed, the government has expressed a desire to grow the cannabis industry, and there are lots of people who want to be involved in the industry. |

Institutional Investors Eye Cannabis, But Regulatory Hurdles Remain
nstitutional investors are warming to US cannabis stocks, but most still aren’t putting new money in, and the wait for federal rescheduling just got longer. That matters because rescheduling is what investors are waiting on, according to Frederico Gomes, cannabis analyst at ATB Cormark Capital Markets. “There’s nothing else that can actually move these stocks,” Gomes told the Investing News Network on October 14. “In terms of actually attracting more institutional capital into this sector, you really need regulatory reform.” |

South African grower starts cultivation as the regulatory framework evolves
In South Africa, licensed cannabis producers and the regulatory framework they answer to are still growing up together. For a couple in Cape Town, that meant three years with the same facility on their minds, from the first plans to a license that arrived in August 2026, after a process that started in December 2024 and took a little more than a year and a half to complete. "One of the main challenges was the lack of clear guidance on certain processes and expected turnaround times. This made planning more difficult, but we kept working through the requirements, and our focus was to bring the right expertise into the business as we were adapting," says Kim Praizovic, who co-founded CannaGrit with her husband. |
