In our latest episode, host Jordan Wellington sits down with Riana Durrett, executive director of the Cannabis Policy Institute at UNLV, to revisit the critical issues and conversations that captivated attendees of the annual CPI Symposium, which her organization co-hosted with Strategies 64 in December.
The two discuss the future of federal cannabis policy reform and the “one-plant solution” proposed by Strategies 64 in a new white paper that was the talk of the event. They also revisit the fascinating panel discussions on tribal cannabis law, the difficulty in defining what is “attractive to children,” and the gaps that persist between cannabis policy and research.
Riana explains CPI’s ranking of state cannabis markets, as well as some of the unique regulatory issues facing Nevada, such as the separation of gaming and cannabis, which has prevented the cannabis industry from fully capitalizing on Las Vegas tourism.
