This ongoing event series is important to the New York cannabis industry in a number of ways:
Hands-On Retail Dispensary Experience: The Adult-Use Cannabis Retail Dispensary Showroom and Educational Experience will physically show what an adult-use dispensary needs to be fully compliant in New York. A life-sized dispensary will be built based on current regulations. Education will be based on state regulations and are subject to change.
Workforce Development & Local Community Groups: We will have various organizations who can provide jobs and specific training and certification in the cannabis industry and across the state tabling and participating in this event. This event aims to create equitable workforce and educational opportunities for building generational wealth in under-resourced communities.
Practical Educational Workshops*: Many CAURD applicants and community members have never seen a licensed legal dispensary operation from front-of-house to back-of-house. These workshops will be important for future dispensary operators and budtenders to understand what it takes to compliantly launch and operate an adult-use cannabis retail dispensary.
*Taught by the teams who were part of launching many of the first CAURD licensed dispensaries in New York State.

Changes in Federal Approaches to Cannabis: Process and Impact
2023-06-22 12:00 - 14:00 | Virtual
In 1971, marijuana was designated as a Schedule I drug, meaning that it “has a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision”. After decades-long efforts, President Biden announced in October 2022 that he instructed “the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General to initiate the administrative process to review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.” In January 2023, the FDA stated that a new regulatory pathway for CBD is needed that balances individuals’ desire for access to CBD products with the regulatory oversight needed to manage risks. Although these actions suggest that the federal government is shifting its approach to cannabis, the mechanics of the scheduling review and the implications of such shift are not well understood.
Please join the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center for a two-part event to discuss the process and implications of marijuana scheduling review. A panel of experts will discuss the role of other federal agencies in the scheduling review process and the legal implications of marijuana’s status as a controlled substance and the potential impact of rescheduling marijuana or descheduling it entirely. The panel will consider impacts on criminalization, research, medical access, and the medical and adult use cannabis industries currently regulated by states.
