Legal marijuana is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States, despite operating under a patchwork of conflicting laws and ever-changing regulations. Now, with 19 states regulating adult-use sales and 36 states allowing medical marijuana sales, the cannabis industry is coming out of the shadows and beginning to be accepted and treated as a significant, professional sector. As state legalization laws pass at a rapid pace and a federal legalization bill is poised to be introduced in the United States Senate for the first time, a historic opportunity presents itself to participate in the creation of a new national marketplace rooted in fairness and equity.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the current status of legal and medical marijuana and hemp throughout the United States.
Discover how current and developing state regulatory frameworks are building on previous lessons learned.
Consider how potential federal laws are poised to rapidly change the cannabis industry.
