Vermont Recreational Cannabis Sales
Adult-use cannabis shops in Vermont sold $2.6 million in October, according to data shared by the state tax department, reported MJBizDaily.

Thailand: Cannabis Bill In Limbo
Thailand’s Cannabis Bill will have to wait, especially after the House meeting collapsed last week due to the lack of a quorum. When the House approved the deletion of “Section 3” of the bill that stipulates cannabis is not a narcotic drug, MPs from both government and opposition parties left the chamber, reported local media.
In November, Thailand’s Cannabis Program took another hit. Cannabis shops and cafes in Thailand will no longer be permitted to allow customers to smoke marijuana on the premises though on-site consumption of medical marijuana will still be tolerated only if the cannabis is sold by a medical practitioner. Thailand opened its first cannabis cafes in late July hoping to beef up its tourism prospects following the pandemic.
