Reefer Madness: Responding to Marijuana Use When Marijuana is Legal
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, February 1, 2022
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
State legalization of marijuana, both for medical and recreational purposes, is increasing. Community supervision agencies and their criminal justice partners are faced with difficult decisions about how, or if, they change their responses to marijuana use for people on community supervision. This workshop will look at how states that have legalized marijuana have addressed this issue and share research and other resources to help jurisdictions who are examining their marijuana use restrictions and responses to use make informed decisions.
