Location & CLE

What’s the Buzz? Cannabis is currently a multi-billion-dollar industry, with the passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Farm Act) portending continued explosive growth for hemp-containing products, including CBD, in the coming years. Simultaneously, the vast majority of cannabis-derived products, including CBD, are still illegal under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and in some states despite seemingly ubiquitous marketing of these products. Additionally, marijuana-containing products, although legal for medical and/or adult-use in over 30 states, remain illegal under the Controlled Substances Act, creating a confusing federal/state dynamic for the burgeoning cannabis industry. 

This conference will identify uncertainties in CBD and cannabis regulation and guide attendees on how to move forward despite this uncertainty. The first day of the conference we will engage in level-setting regarding the current federal and state regulatory landscape of CBD and cannabis products. On the second day, industry experts will discuss what issues are in flux, risks and challenges for manufacturers, and what potential solutions look like for the future of regulation.
