Ian Stewart (Partner-Los Angeles) will join a panel on “Regulation of Non-THC Cannabinoids” at the third annual Cannabis Law Sessions presented by the International Cannabis Bar Association, via online streaming on June 2, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The event includes six hours of CLE focused on emerging issues in the U.S. and Global Cannabis Markets. Several factors have converged to create a rapidly developing market in non-THC cannabinoids, including the removal of hemp-derived cannabinoids from the Controlled Substances Act, advancements in extraction technology, and an increasingly educated and engaged public. Using the current regulatory landscape of CBD as a jumping-off point, Ian will explore this new market from a regulatory standpoint. Topics include what these cannabinoids are and how they are likely to be used; whether they will face regulatory obstacles similar to those encountered by CBD in coming to market; and whether we should continue to think of cannabinoids as a unified “block” for regulatory purposes, or address each separately. 

More information and registration are available on the event website.
