In the latest episode of Strategies 64’s Weed Wonks podcast, host Jordan Wellington speaks to Riana Durrett, vice chair of the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board and director of the Cannabis Policy Institute at UNLV, about cannabis policy in Nevada, its implications for other jurisdictions, and the role of research in responsible policy development.
They dive into the intersection of cannabis, hospitality, and gaming and how it could potentially shape the market in Nevada — the hospitality capital of the world — and beyond. They also discuss the collegial atmosphere of the cannabis industry and how it fosters innovation and collaboration, which was evident at the inaugural Cannabis Policy Institute Symposium co-hosted by CPI and Strategies 64 earlier this month at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
