This course provides an overview of state efforts to legalize medical and adult-use cannabis programs and the ongoing conflict of these efforts with the federal illegality of cannabis. After a brief overview of the history of cannabis prohibition in the US, the course provides a grounding in the language of the modern cannabis industry. It also looks at current state-level legalization efforts, the impact of conflicts between state and federal law on the industry, and federal efforts to re-align cannabis scheduling and statutes to better support this growing business.
