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.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s economy at the end of the Great Depression.\u200b<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Earl Blumenauer<\/strong>, United States Congressman<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Karen O&#8217;Keefe<\/strong>,\u00a0Director of State Policies for Marijuana Policy Project<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chris Melillo<\/strong>, Senior Vice President of Retail Operations for Curaleaf<\/li>\n<li><strong>Katie Neer<\/strong>,\u00a0Director of Government Affairs for Acreage Holdings and an Associate at Greenberg Traurig<\/li>\n<li><a style=\"background: transparent;color: #00233e;text-decoration: underline;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;border: 0px;font-size: 1em\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Paul P.
