Thursday, August 11 • 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. ET
Agustin Rodriguez and Christina Sava will provide an update on medical and adult-use marijuana (the high-THC version of cannabis) regulation among the states and legalization efforts at the federal level. We will provide an overview of different state-level frameworks for regulating medical and adult-use marijuana businesses, including license types, licensing requirements, and approaches to retail sale. We will also review several major pieces of federal legislation seeking to legalize – or better regulate – marijuana at the federal level.
Topics include:
- A brief overview of the history of marijuana prohibition and the marijuana legalization movement
- Evolution of state-level medical and adult-use marijuana legalization efforts
- Description of a typical medical or adult-use marijuana program using examples from different states
- Tension and issues created by marijuana's status as a federal controlled substance
- Looking ahead: efforts at marijuana legalization at the federal level
The training is approved for MCLE credit in California, Illinois, New Jersey (through reciprocity), New York, and Pennsylvania. We will seek credit for all other states in which we have office locations. Credit for other jurisdictions may be available upon request.
