Cannabis Law continues to evolve. New Jersey has gone from legalizing medical marijuana in 2020, to fully legalizing marijuana in 2021. What does 2022 bring?

To keep abreast with the latest developments in this evolving area of law, NJICLE’s 4th Annual Cannabis Law Symposium offers attendees the opportunity to explore cutting-edge issues relating to the gauntlet of federal, state and local laws and regulations that are pertinent to capital markets and financial solutions, employment law, and criminal law along with presentations on new topics involving cannabis and intellectual property, RFA awardees, the latest developments in hemp law, and a look at what is happening across the river—an update on cannabis and New York. In addition, this year’s Symposium will feature an update from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulation Commission Plus, this year Senator Vin Gopal will deliver a special presentation on The Viability of Home Grow in New Jersey.
