Ian Stewart (Partner-Los Angeles) will present “Brace Yourselves: Cannabis and Hemp Risk & Litigation Are About to Get Wild!” for the CLM 2024 Webinar Series on July 10, 2024. Ian examines looming momentous changes for the cannabis and hemp industries, with the most significant change to federal marijuana policy in 50 years underway — the coming re-classification of marijuana to Schedule III of the Controlled Substance Act. Topics discussed include the potential impact on cannabis companies and their insurers hinging upon the outcome of the DEAs ongoing rulemaking on Schedule III, the negotiations on how hemp will be defined within the new Farm Bill and the emerging “cannabis/hemp civil war” generating lawsuits between companies, by government regulators and on behalf of consumers through new class actions.
