Marijuana Policy with Joe DeMenna - The Political Noteboo...

What this episode covers

Joe DeMenna is a lobbyist with experience representing medical marijuana dispensaries in Arizona. He is former executive director of the Arizona Dispensaries Association, and serves on the newly established state medical marijuana testing advisory council. We talk about challenges and opportunities facing the marijuana industry, as well as the recreational marijuana ballot initiative that may go to Arizona voters in 2020. Why did the 2016 initiative fail, and what's different about the Smart and Safe Arizona Act? Will the state legislature try to preempt this initiative and pass a recreational law themselves? We also touch on national policy issues like the SAFE Banking Act moving through Congress right now.
