New Jersey’s Premier Cannabis and Psychedelics Law Symposium

Join the NJSBA for a comprehensive review of the rapidly evolving laws governing cannabis and psychedelics.

Leading attorneys and industry experts will analyze the year’s most critical developments, starting with the intersection of federal rescheduling, banking hurdles and New Jersey’s regulated market. The program delves into the practical realities of licensure and municipal zoning, offering strategies for operators to navigate compliance audits and local politics. Beyond the business of cannabis, sessions will tackle the contentious regulation of hemp-derived intoxicants, the emerging legal framework for therapeutic psychedelics and the ongoing challenges of decriminalization and expungement.

Whether advising corporate clients or representing individuals, this symposium delivers the essential strategic insights needed for your practice.
