    Following the passage of Prop 207, the law and public opinion have changed with respect to the use, production, and distribution of cannabis in Arizona, while the Federal Government has continued to prohibit cannabis, for any use, under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. How will local governments, operators, and developers respond? Our panel of subject matter experts and industry stakeholders will explore this question and more in our January 29th virtual event.  '
