The Haze of Medical Marijuana Laws
Although the federal government has not changed its stance, many states have begun to liberalize their laws regarding the use of marijuana, especially in a medical context.

In “Peering Through the Haze of Medical Marijuana Laws,” Dan examines state laws regarding certifying patients for medical cannabis use, as well as the implications of staff usage in states that permit either recreational or medicinal use of marijuana.
