Cannabis @ Convenience – The Current Landscape and the Road Ahead

Location: Utopia Ballroom

Excitement thundered about cannabis-extract enhanced beverages, snacks, and a revolutionized tobacco backbar anchored in gummies, drinks, vapes, and more. That was only a few years ago. And while adult-use marijuana is authorized in roughly have the states, c-stores are but a minor player in its sale.  

Jonathan Havens, who co-chairs Saul Ewing’s Cannabis Law and Food, Beverage and Agribusiness practices, shares the current roadblocks and opportunities confronting both hemp and marijuana, and why it matters to the convenience industry.
