Happy Friday!
Welcome back to The Weekly Roll! I hope everyone had a lovely week, here is what’s happening this week in cannabis and art:
WNBA Turning Pro Cannabis : The WNBA has reportedly offered to eliminate cannabis testing for players as part of a new collective bargaining agreement, joining the NBA, NFL, and NCAA in revising marijuana policies. The tentative deal has been agreed to in principle and is pending ratification, though marijuana was not explicitly mentioned in the two-page public summary. Article
MA Fights Back : A group of Massachusetts cannabis businesses has filed suit in the state's Supreme Judicial Court to block a ballot initiative that would repeal recreational cannabis sales, arguing it unconstitutionally combines unrelated subjects and that the attorney general's summary is misleading. The measure faces a May 5 legislative deadline, and 63% of Massachusetts voters oppose it. Article
Interesting Number : Minnesota's legal cannabis market has surpassed $50 million in recreational sales since the first retailer licenses were issued in September, with the state's cannabis regulator expecting monthly sales to double in coming months. The market has faced some growing pains, including limited in-state testing facilities and supply shortages, but officials say conditions are improving as early cultivators' crops mature.

Helmet Recovered : A 2,500-year-old gold helmet stolen from the Drents Museum in the Netherlands in January 2025 — along with two of three stolen gold bracelets — has been recovered as part of a plea deal with suspects. The Coțofenești helmet is considered a Romanian national icon, and its theft had sparked an international incident including Dutch insurance compensation of €5.7 million. Article
Have a great weekend!
