IndustryDevelopments | International & State New Jersey Four marijuana companies are coming under fire from the state attorney general’s office for giving away cannabis to customers who buy other items such as snacks or baked goods. Attorney General Gurbir Grewal and the Division of Consumer Affairs issued cease-and-desist orders to four businesses across the state for the practice known as “gifting.” Each misrepresentation in the sale or advertising of merchandise is a separate violation, and violators may be fined $10,000 for the first violation and $20,000 for each subsequent infraction.
Ohio The State Medical Board of Ohio added three additional illnesses to its list of qualifying conditions for medical marijuana: • Huntington’s disease. • Terminal illness. • Spasticity. Would-be medical marijuana patients in Ohio must have one of the qualifying conditions and receive a recommendation from a board-certified physician. The board rejected petitions to add several other medical conditions to the list: autism spectrum disorder, restless leg syndrome, panic disorder with agoraphobia and spasms. There are now 25 qualifying conditions that can be treated with medical marijuana in Ohio.
