Regulators from 19 states have joined together in
forming the Cannabis Regulators Association
("CANNRA"). The goal of CANNRA is to share institutional
knowledge and regulatory best practices in order to assist federal,
state, and local jurisdictions that have approved or are
considering the legalization of cannabis. CANNRA is not an advocacy
group, nor does it take a position either for or against cannabis
legalization, but instead is designed as an informational
clearinghouse to help regulators make informed decisions in
creating, developing, and/or expanding cannabis marketplaces.
The interesting byproduct of federal prohibition is that each
jurisdiction has engaged in their own effort and design of
legalization, allowing states to be their own laboratories of
democracy. That being said, some jurisdictions are more evolved
than others, with older jurisdictions providing a wealth of
experience and newer jurisdictions offering a diversity of fresh
ideas. CANNRA
