Rounding up recent posts of note from Marijuana Law, Policy and Reform

I am likely to be off-line from much of the rest of today because of the official start of an unofficial holiday weekend in my neighborhood.  So while I am spending some time watching the world's best players on well-manicured grass, readers interested in reform developments surrounding another type of grass might want to check out some recent posts of note from Marijuana Law, Policy and Reform. Here is an abridged listing of MLP&R posts that might be of special interest to sentencing fans: 

• House of Representatives again votes to limit federal interference with state medical marijuana programs

• "Clergy join push to legalize marijuana in mission of social justice"

• Achtung dude: notable talk in Germany about marijuana reform

• Latest polling data in Colorado and Washington continue to show strong support for legalization

• Could the new medicial marijuana law in Texas really send doctors to jail?

• "As States Become More Pot-Friendly, Feds Warn Employees Not To Light Up"

• Highlighting New Yorkers looking for green in state's medical marijuana reform

• Former federal prosecutor: "Legal Marijuana Dealers -- And The Government -- Need Bankers And Lawyers"

• SAM releases new report "Researching Marijuana’s Medical Potential Responsibly: A Six Point Plan"

• Terrific NBC coverage of African Americans and the modern marijuana industry

• Ohio's GOP Attorney General now talking up medical marijuana reform

• Mark your calendar (and plan to attend) the "Ohio Marijuana Policy Reform Symposium" on June 11

I have highlighted the last two items on this list because I continue to believe Ohio is going to be an especially exciting state to watch closely in the next few months. And I think the "Ohio Marijuana Policy Reform Symposium" taking place at The Ohio State Moritz College of Law a week from today is likely to advance in a thoughtful way the dynamic conversations about marijuana reform now taking place in the Buckeye State.
