Program Summary

This CLE will address the legality of various cannabinoids pursuant to the federal Controlled Substances Act, the federal Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “Farm Bill”), and state regulatory frameworks. We will examine prospective changes to the laws governing delta-9 THC and hemp, federal and state enforcement trends, and the future of the cannabis and intoxicating hemp industries.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • An understanding of cannabinoids
  • The federal regulatory framework, including the Controlled Substances Act, Farm Bill, and the role of the Drug Enforcement Agency and Food and Drug Administration
  • The state regulatory framework, including states where medical and recreational cannabis programs exist and states where regulators have begun to address intoxicating hemp
  • Federal and state enforcement
  • Federal preemption issues
