As a Rhode Islander, I am a big fan of our former Governor and now Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo. She has always had her eye on the ball of the rapidly developing data privacy and cybersecurity risks and threats to national security.

The legal landscape of cannabis in New Jersey is hazy, at best. The state is home to over 100 licensed dispensaries where adults over the age of 21 can legally purchase intoxicating THC products made from marijuana.

Cannabis products advertised as “delta-8″ or “delta-9″ THC are able to be sold by convenience stores, gas stations, or beer and spirits stores that are not state-licensed dispensaries, even though THC is still federally illegal. The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (the “Farm Bill”) removed hemp and hemp-derived products from the definition of “marihuana,” a prohibited schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Petrella v. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 572 U.S. 663 (2014) allowing copyright plaintiffs to recover for damages incurred during a three-year look-back period even when suit is filed many years after the initial infringement occurred, defendants have argued that plaintiffs’ recoverable damages are limited to those sustained in the three years preceding the lawsuit regardless of when filed or when the infringement was discovered.
