JEFFERSON CITY — A fight is brewing under the Capitol Dome over whether Missouri should allow the sale of hemp-derived cannabis products at gas stations and other outlets across the state. The conflict is pitting the state's convenience stores against representatives for Missouri's legal marijuana industry, which operates a network of more than 200 dispensaries licensed by the Department of Health and Senior Services, following voter legalization of marijuana.

On January 2024, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (Cabinet) published its long-anticipated first proposed set of medical marijuana regulations. These proposed regulations set forth the operating requirements for various types of operators within the program (including cultivators, processors, producers, and dispensaries), and rules for cannabis transportation, packaging, labeling, advertising, and testing.

Artificial intelligence could be a boon for the healthcare sector, cutting down clinicians' administrative work, reducing spending and accelerating drug discovery. But the technology may need guardrails to function safely and effectively, or AI could cause harm to patients or exacerbate existing inequities, lawmakers and witnesses said at a Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee hearing on Wednesday.

The Food and Drug Administration has substantially loosened limits on the first gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a decision that could greatly expand its use even as questions remain about its effectiveness. The agency on Thursday made the therapy, called Elevidys and sold by biotechnology company Sarepta Therapeutics, available to people with Duchenne who are at least four years of age and have mutations in a specific gene, regardless of whether they can still walk.

After years of delays, regulatory rejections, and allegations of animal abuse, Elon Musk's brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, is now recruiting its first human volunteers to have an experimental robot implant an experimental device directly into their brains. In a blog post Tuesday, the company announced that an independent institutional review board and an unnamed hospital site granted approval for the trial to start recruiting volunteers.
