On April 17 and 18, NYU hosted the Cannabis Science & Policy Summit where a panel discussion took place titled “Federalism & Cannabis Policy: What Can & Should Washington Do?” The panel consisted of experts in law and drug policy, including Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Sarah Trumble, senior policy counsel at Third Way, a public policy think tank based in Washington, D.C. The panel discussion delved into the restrictions of the DEA’s power to reschedule cannabis by Congress and appropriate policy alternatives to clearing the path for state-by-state cannabis legalization. |
