Marijuana Is[n’t] Legal: Practical Impacts of the Federal-State Contradiction. They will explore Federal and State regulatory and legal tensions, the threat of enforcement, and the disproportionate impact resulting from the federal government's failure to clarify the legal status of marijuana. The panel will also address compliance and commercialization challenges created by inconsistent regulations, and practical steps businesses can take now. To ground the discussion with a State-specific example, the panel will highlight the November 3, 2020 ballot referendum for adult-use marijuana legalization in New Jersey.
