2020 March Public Affairs Breakfast Series
Legalization of Recreational Marijuana in Minnesota - What does it mean for business?
States across the country are legalizing recreational marijuana, and legalization could be on the horizon in Minnesota in the not too distant future. What are the issues to take into consideration?
How will businesses and employers be affected if Minnesota were to legalize recreational marijuana? This is NOT a for/against conversation but an "If this happens, then...what?"
March's Public Affairs breakfast will feature a panel of speakers who will highlight the legal and real-life challenges that exist for businesses and communities as Minnesota considers legalizing marijuana. We'll discuss the pathway to legalization and related workforce challenges and prepare our business leaders for the legalization debate in Minnesota.
