Hosted by the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) in partnership with the Ohio Cannabis Coalition and the Ohio Independent Operators, and sponsored in part by Frantz Ward, the program includes sessions on the current federal landscape, developments in state legislation, cannabis misuse prevention, and legal enforcement and public safety, along with insights from state regulators and perspectives from current licensees in Ohio.

During his session, Tom will join attorneys from private practice and the DCC for an update on the legal and compliance matters facing Ohio’s cannabis industry.
