March 17, 2026
Time:
Cannabis Rescheduling and Its Impact on Washington State’s Cannabis Industry is a timely one-hour CLE exploring how a potential shift in federal cannabis scheduling could reshape the legal, regulatory, and business landscape for Washington cannabis companies. Hosted by Aaron Pelley and presented by Daniel Shortt, this program examines both the immediate and long-term consequences of federal reform for one of the nation’s most mature cannabis markets.
The presentation will cover the current status of federal cannabis scheduling, the legal significance of rescheduling under the Controlled Substances Act, and anticipated changes to enforcement priorities, taxation (including IRC §280E), banking access, and interstate considerations. Attendees will gain insight into how rescheduling may affect licensing, compliance obligations, contracts, and risk management for Washington cannabis operators.
Designed for attorneys, industry professionals, and advisors, this CLE will provide practical takeaways to help participants counsel clients, assess business impacts, and prepare for regulatory shifts as federal cannabis policy continues to evolve.
