🌱 Why it matters for growers: The proposed federal job protections mean past cannabis use won't lock you out of federal employment opportunities. For local consumers and growers in Missouri, the recent pre-roll recall is a reminder of why strict testing for mold is necessary to keep the supply chain safe. Meanwhile, Alabama's policy shift shows how state-level barriers are starting to fall as federal rescheduling moves forward.
Stay legal. Stay growing. 🤝
