Important marijuana panel at DPA conference: Roundtable / What Happens Next With Marijuana? This roundtable will focus on what happens next after Washington and Colorado. What does the federal govern- ment’s response thus far mean for states that want to legalize marijuana and move forward with a regulatory model? How do we resolve outstanding issues regarding the industry, taxes, and banking? Is legalization inevitable? What does legalization mean for the political context that we live in? What about the criminal justice context? What will the landscape look like ten years from now?
