Texas Cannabis Policy Conference 2024 to take place this weekend
September 7, 2024
Press release from Texans For Responsible Marijuana Policy and Marijuana Policy Conference
The legal landscape for cannabis in Texas is evolving quickly, with big changes on the horizon. In the next year, how will our government move forward with cannabis policy reform?
Federal Level: Administrative rescheduling, what happens next? Legislation from Congress?
State Level: Expanding the Compassionate Use Program? Regulating or banning adult-use consumable hemp products? What about statewide decriminalization efforts?
Our future is not pre-determined. This conference aims to offer the tools and relationships necessary to make a real impact on our state’s nascent cannabis industry.
Join us NEXT WEEK, September 12-14, 2024 at Texas A&M University, for the Texas Cannabis Policy Conference to hear from industry leaders, current and former regulators, and policy makers to discuss the latest advancements in cannabis science and policy.
Registration starts at $149 for General Admission!
Special Offer: Thanks to our generous sponsors, Texas Veterans and their families can attend for FREE! Use promo code “TXVETS” for complimentary General Admission. Others experiencing financial hardship can email hfazio@txmjpolicy.org for discounted tickets.
Register today and be part of the conversation that will shape the future of cannabis policy in Texas and beyond.
We look forward to seeing you there!
