[Webinar] Cannabis Reform During the Coronavirus Crisis
May 15, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted virtually every aspect of our society, and cannabis policy reform efforts are no exception. Prior to the crisis, several states appeared poised to enact legalization and medical cannabis laws through ballot measures or their legislatures. But the landscape has shifted dramatically: Reformers and lawmakers are facing tough decisions about how and when they can move forward, while state and local regulators are evaluating new ways to ensure consumers can safely access essential cannabis products. With so much in flux, many reform supporters are wondering what's next — and what can they do to help.
Watch the replay of Vicente Sederberg LLP and the Marijuana Policy Project discussing how the COVID-19 crisis is impacting state and local reform efforts.
