Navigating Schedule III: Regulatory, Social Equity and Hemp

Description:

A discussion on how the federal rescheduling of cannabis and possible changes to hemp’s legal status may alter regulatory and social equity landscapes. Concerns about Big Pharma and alcohol distribution networks undermining the economic advantages of small businesses will be addressed, along with the impacts of rescheduling on legacy operators. There are wide-spread challenges in a not yet federally legal industry, and it is critical that businesses operate globally or hyper-locally to remain competitive—policies must be creative, social equity-minded and promote a state-first craft economy.
