- In state elections, cannabis-friendly governors and legislators were elected or re-elected in Hawaii, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
- The DEA cannabis rescheduling hearing is delayed until January or February due to “lack of information about the participants designated to testify."
