TAULAMWAAR SENSIBLE CNMI
CANNABIS ACT OF 2018
The CNMI Cannabis Commission was created by the CNMI Government through the Taulamwaar Sensible CNMI Cannabis Act of 2018, which was signed into law as CNMI Public Law 20-66 on September 21, 2018.
In August 21, 2019, CNMI Public Law 21-05 was signed into law by Honorable Governor Ralph DLG. Torres, allowing the CNMI Cannabis Commission to be a full-fledged board.
On September 12, 2019, the Commission organized and elected the Board's officers. A month later on November 12, 2019, the Commission hired their Managing Director.
By statute, the Commission had 180 days to promulgate its rules and regulations. On March 10, 2020 and meeting the 180-day deadline, the Commission published into regulation the emergency rules and regulations for the CNMI's newest industry.
