The two-day event is being put on by the Southern University Law Center’s Cannabis Compliance, Law and Policy Institute, the university’s Agricultural Research and Extension Center.
“Cannabis (marijuana) has been legalized in at least 33 states in some form,” said Marla Dickerson, director of the Cannabis Compliance, Law and Policy Institute. “The state legalizations have led to a myriad of discussions pertaining to decriminalization, social equity, legal, and medical issues. The symposium will provide panel discussions that will provide understanding to individuals interested in cannabis.”
