Medical & Recreational Marijuana

While roughly half of the states have adopted some form of medical marijuana program, the legalization of recreational marijuana use in the U.S. is a relatively new concept, but one that is quickly gaining in popularity. Unsurprisingly, this new industry is proving to be a highly regulated one, and there is much to consider for a new or existing organization to gain a license to operate in the marijuana industry.

This program looks at the similarities and differences between medical and recreational marijuana programs, as well as the different approaches states take to tackle these issues. Issues discussed include medical vs. recreational governing agencies, include the impact on federal system's control over marijuana, differing tax structures, issues in securing a marijuana business licenses, building code issues, potency and packaging differences, and more.
