About the Program

Last year, we saw the U.S. suffer the worst economic growth since World War II. The pandemic caused the economy to shrink by 3.5%, and almost doubled the unemployment rate when 10 million Americans lost their jobs.

And yet… the cannabis industry saw explosive job growth in 2020. Join us to uncover the macro-level trends of the 2021 Leafly Jobs Report. Our featured speakers include:

    • Beau Whitney, Founder of Whitney Economics, and co-author of the 2021 Leafly Jobs Report

About the Program

Advance 360 Cannabis Insider Live Online presented by Duane Morris LLP and hosted by NJ Cannabis Insider editor Justin Zaremba, is a highly focused, information-driven talk designed to engage audiences about the most pressing concerns and challenges communities face as the state and federal government navigate the Covid-19 crisis.

News remains fluid day by day in these uncertain times. That said, there has been some progress in the cannabis space out of sheer necessity: curbside pickup and home delivery in some markets to aid medical marijuana patients. A renewed call to allow patients to grow their own weed and telemedicine are also at the forefront of possible changes, especially as the country remains in lockdown. Research for medical cannabis applications, lab testing for reliable and quality medicine and CBD and a resurgent hemp industry are also making strides, despite a stalled economy.​

Can a federally legal cannabis industry help rescue the economy as we enter into what might be one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression? Some analysts believe it will be similar to the way the end of alcohol prohibition boosted the country’s economy at the end of the Great Depression.​
