At the state level, the court victory in Nebraska opens the door for a new legal medical market, while Idaho's ballot push shows that access can still be restricted by future state laws. For local growers, Missouri's crackdown on unlicensed dispensaries highlights the importance of staying within the state's legal, regulated system. Stay legal. Stay growing. 🤝 — The IoP News Desk #LegalRoundup #CannabisNews — Internet of Pot
