In this episode of The Cole Memo, host Cole Preston connects with Luke Niforatos, Executive Vice President of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM). SAM advocates for a “third-way” approach to cannabis policy, opposing full legalization and commercialization while promoting responsible regulation.
Cole and Luke discuss current events, including recent state ballot measures and the evolving landscape of cannabis law. They explore the outcomes of recent elections and their implications for the future of cannabis legalization in the U.S. Plus, Luke shares an insider’s perspective on the upcoming rescheduling hearings.
