Legal and policy considerations for cannabis in the 117 Congress: L, R or down the middle

Date
April 6, 2021

The presentation will provide a brief synopsis of the current U.S. political climate, and explore possible opportunities and challenges for the cannabis industry in the coming Congressional session. With a more mature market and greater access to modern science, a clearer picture of the value and vulnerabilities of a regulated cannabis industry is now available for lawmakers. How do we package this information against the backdrop of the political landscape to realistically advance the industry?

The remarks will also identify important pillars to be included in federal policy that are needed for market stability. The impact on the economy from the global pandemic underscored the invaluable role of small businesses and the critical need for sound policy to protect a competitive marketplace. The cannabis industry can build off this recent lesson.

The presentation will be delivered through a non-partisan lens, and is intended to continue the conversation on defining a workable federal policy that will advance science, allow market access and encourage innovation.
