It was held in San Diego, California.
Judges, attorneys, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, regulators, professors, and industry leaders were billed as attendees.
It was most useful for judges, attorneys, regulators and clinicians who needed to see cannabis law, medicine and public safety discussed together, since the program was scheduled to include legal and clinical luncheon roundtables, impairment detection sessions and a keynote by Nora Volkow of NIDA. Law students could apply for scholarships, and a past attendee cited the mix of disciplines, but cannabis businesses looking for a sales-oriented expo or buyers would have found little of that in a meeting built around research, courts and policy.
Attendees at legal, medical and policy conferences usually wear business casual to business professional, with suits or blazers common among judges and attorneys. A hotel venue in San Diego in October is mild, so a light layer for air-conditioned meeting rooms is typically enough.
