Throughout October 2020, INCBA will present substantive content every Tuesday. While marijuana is still unlawful at the federal level, each state with a legal regime plays a primary role in regulating the cannabis industry, including that the states are responsible for issuing licenses. Applications and the qualifications states have in place vary from state to state, often requiring a combination of state and local involvement, and the success and speed of the process and the satisfaction with the outcomes by stakeholders is just as varied. This process often requires guidance from counsel, from preparing applicants and completing applications to communicating with state and local agencies to handling appeals and disputes along the way, it is often left to lawyers to navigate these new processes where even lawmakers and agencies lack all of the answers. This track provides updates on the process in various states and provides discussion and learning takeaways from counsel who have dealt with rejections, appeals, and disputes.
