This are some of the local cannabis news from this past few days to help you keep up to date with this dynamic industry:

Cannabis Cultivation Case Against Former Mayor Dismissed

In a surprising turn, prosecutors dismissed the case against Scott Robertson, the former mayor of Winnebago, Minnesota who was charged with illegal cannabis cultivation.

The charges stemmed from a year-long investigation into a commercial greenhouse owned by Robertson, where 240 cannabis plants were found. However, the prosecution couldn’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to its dismissal.

Robertson’s attorney highlighted issues with the search warrant and noted that the plants had not yet flowered. This means that they did not contain any THC. Robertson, who stepped down as mayor amid the charges, expressed relief that the ordeal is over. The former mayor now looks forward to returning to farming, reported Fox9.

Sunland Park, New Mexico, has risen to the fourth spot in cannabis sales statewide, reaching over $84.7 million. The city’s success is attributed to its strategic location near El Paso and Juarez where cannabis remains illegal in both cities.

Mayor Javier Perea noted that the city is already investing in community development using the financial gains from cannabis legalization, reported KVIA.

In July, marijuana prices in Michigan dropped to a record low. The average price was $79.70 per ounce, according to the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency. Despite the price drop, the state saw its second-largest sales month since adult-use legalization. Sales added up to $286.4 million, reported Crain’s Detroit.

Factors contributing to the price decline include oversupply, price compression due to upcoming “Croptober” harvests and competition with illicit market products. The influx of both outdoor and indoor-grown cannabis is driving prices down. Meanwhile, growers and processors aim to clear out last year’s inventory.
