Join us for the October edition of our new illuminating “Policy Matters” webinar series! In this dynamic session, we’ll dive into the intricacies of cannabis policy from two critical angles. For this month’s episode, we’re shifting the spotlight to the thriving adult-use cannabis marketplace in Maine, featuring our special guest, John Hudak, the Director of the Office of Cannabis Policy at the Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services.

Discover the unique dynamics of Maine’s cannabis industry, from its regulatory framework to market trends and the challenges faced by industry stakeholders. Gain valuable insights into managing a successful adult-use market while adhering to rigorous regulatory standards. Then, we’ll explore the policy implications of descheduling or rescheduling cannabis, a topic that gained momentum following President Biden’s directive to review its federal classification.

Join our hosts, NCIA Policy Co-Chairs Khurshid Khoja and Michael Cooper and guest speakers, NCIA’s Director of Government Relations Michelle Rutter Friberg and John Hudak, Ph.D, the Director of the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy, as they discuss the potential shifts in cannabis policy, what the process may look like, and what to expect in the coming months.

Needless to say, with multiple federal agencies involved, an election year nearing, and Congress in disarray, this is a complex topic – but policy matters. Stay informed, stay ahead, and be part of the conversation that’s shaping the future of cannabis policy.

Tune in and empower yourself with the knowledge to thrive in this dynamic industry! Reserve your spot today and join us as we continue to unravel the complexities of cannabis policy and regulation.
