Behind the Scenes of Cannabis Lobbying: How it REALLY Works ft. The Liaison Group


Listen Later

Cannabis reform always feels like it's on the verge of a breakthrough with policy.

We know some policies can pass both the House & Senate yet it doesn’t , but it ends up feeling like a pawn in the horse trading by policymakers who all know that ~70% of Americans are in favor of cannabis legalization. So why does policy that has support from both sides of the aisle struggle to make progress?

  • Stories from Inside DC
  • Measuring Progress 
  • Process of educating Member/Staffers
  • And so much more
