Overview
State-licensed production, processing and retailing of “recreational” marijuana began in 2014. Recent legislation is now bringing the sale of “medical” marijuana into the state system. Our presenters will share how implementation is progressing, some of the lessons learned and how the various government agencies are involved. There will be time for discussion.
