Inside Portland’s Cannabis Packaging Recycling Facility — Oregon’s Most Extensive Program
Last month, Gov. Phil Scott signed a bill to raise the possession limit to two ounces
Vermont’s top marijuana regulator says a recently passed legislation that doubles the legal possession limit for cannabis will help the ongoing efforts to transition consumers from the illegal market to the legal business. He also believes that interstate commerce provisions could lead to the development of regional standards for the industry.
“My hope is that anything that lifts the ban will encourage more consumers to purchase regulated cannabis,” James Pepper, chairman of the Vermont Cannabis Control Board, told VTDigger.
Last month, Gov. Phil Scott (R) signed a bill allowing adults over the age of 21 to legally possess two ounces of marijuana, or 10 grams of hashish — double what they previously could.

U.S. District Judge Melissa Dubose wrote that she would overturn the ban
A federal judge in Rhode Island said Wednesday that a court order barring state regulators from issuing retail cannabis licenses could soon end.
U.S. District Judge Melissa Dubose wrote in order that it would lift a previous injunction issued on April 8 now that the Rhode Island Cannabis Act no longer requires all retail license holders to be Rhode Island residents.
“The revised Cannabis Act removed language that the court found violated the Dormant Commerce Clause of the US Constitution,” she wrote.
But that outcome depends on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston sending lawsuits over Rhode Island’s former residency requirement for recreational cannabis licenses back to DuBose’s courtroom in Providence.
Tim Rondeau, a spokesman for the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office, said Thursday that state prosecutors have asked to suspend all appeals to allow the district court to issue a preliminary ruling.
Twenty recreational cannabis retail licenses were suspended after DuBose’s April 8 decision, leaving about 100 applicants in limbo — many of whom continued to pay rent for storefronts they still can’t open.

One of the objects is rented, the other is owned
Cannabist Co. Holdings Inc. announced this month that it will close two cannabis cultivation and manufacturing plants in South Jersey, eliminating 86 jobs in the sector on October 11. The closings came after the company won Chapter 15 bankruptcy recognition in the US earlier this year.
Company filed A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice (WARN) to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development on July 14, announcing the closure of businesses in Vineland: at 51 West Park Ave. and at 1560 N. West Blvd.
One of the New Jersey grow and production facilities is leased, while Cannabist Co.’s non-cannabis subsidiary, Columbia Care NJ Realty LLC, owns another facility, with about $16 million still due on a mortgage loan agreement as of March 2026, according to court filings.
Some of the injured workers may receive special legal protection: Cannabist Co. is a member of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 152 collective bargaining agreement covering full-time and part-time cultivation technicians employed in Vineland.
