Now, co-founder Ben Cohen is taking his commitment to these values one step further with the founding of a new non-profit cannabis line\u2014Ben\u2019s Best Blnz.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen\u2019s new company aims to tackle the social injustices stemming from the war on drugs. To do this, Ben\u2019s Best Blnz plans to commit 80% of its profits to a grant program for Black cannabis entrepreneurs. The rest of the profits will be split between the Vermont Racial Justice Alliance and the Last Prisoner Project.<\/p>\n<p>Ben\u2019s Best Blnz cannabis is grown in soil free of nonorganic fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals. Products like pre-rolled joints will be available in cannabis shops across Vermont next month.<\/p>\n<p>Would you give Ben\u2019s Best Blnz\u2019s products a try? Would you like to see other cannabis companies make similar social justice commitments? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n<h2>Maryland Reevaluates Its Cannabis Policing Policy<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/maryland\/\">Maryland<\/a> is taking a major step toward curbing a long-held discriminatory policing practice. <a href=\"https:\/\/wjla.com\/news\/local\/maryland-recreational-marijuana-police-smell-test-traffic-stop-search-vehicle-no-longer-use-starting-july-1-smelling-weed-smoking-possession-fines-law-enforcement-detain-contraband-drug-crime-new-law-bill-governor-wes-moore-dui-cannabis-pot-4-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starting July 1, 2023<\/a>, the odor of cannabis in a vehicle will no longer be sufficient probable cause for law enforcement to detain or conduct a search and seizure. That means police will need to have additional reasonable suspicion in order to pull over the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the only good canna-news coming out of Maryland. A bill recently passed in the state\u2019s legislature\u2014now headed to the governor&#8217;s desk\u2014is aiming to tweak the cannabis penalty structure. It would reduce the fine for public cannabis consumption from $250 to $50. Additionally, the bill calls for the expungement of cannabis possession charges for those caught with 10 grams or less.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Maryland\u2019s attempts to bring some cannabis justice? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n<h2>Debate Over Singapore&#8217;s Tough Drug Laws Reignited After Execution<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Wednesday, Singapore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/singapore-executes-man-for-cannabis-trafficking\/a-65431714\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executed suspected cannabis smuggler Tangaraju Suppiah<\/a>. The execution came despite pleas from Suppiah\u2019s friends, family, and activists.<\/p>\n<p>Suppiah was arrested back in 2017 for conspiracy to traffic 1,017.9 grams of cannabis. That total is twice the minimum volume Singapore deems worthy of a death sentence. While Singapore insists that its infamously tough drug laws keep its citizens safe, many around the world have started to voice their concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the loudest opposition comes from the UN&#8217;s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNCHR). In a statement released prior to the execution, the UNCHR said, \u201cWe have concerns around due process and respect for fair trial guarantees.\u201d Given its concerns, the office asked that Singapore not proceed with the execution. Although the UNCHR&#8217;s request was ultimately ignored, it maintains its view that the country should impose a &#8220;formal moratorium&#8221; on its planned drug-related execution.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s your take on Singapore&#8217;s brutal cannabis laws? Do you think UN pressure will change anything?
