CBD Oil, Hemp and Cannabis Update: What Lawyers Need to Know in Advising Clients

Are you seeing more and more ads for CBD? What’s legal, what’s not? What the difference between hemp, CBD and THC? Where does NY stand and what’s in store for the future?

Various states have differing laws on hemp products generally and CBD specifically.

But what about all these CBD oil products that are being sold?  This program will provide a practical basic cannabis industry update for attorneys. This program will cover CBD, hemp and the 2018 Federal Farm Bill.
