As lawmakers investigate a their next round of PPP funding, Yahoo Finance is reporting policymakers are investigating ways to help businesses left out of the first rounds of funding - casinos and cannabis businesses.

In a letter to leadership, the publication reports lawmakers said the following:

Cannabis has long been negatively associated with laziness and haziness, and although that isn’t always the case with cannabis consumers, it also isn’t that far off from the truth if you haven’t optimized your regimen.
