FIRST STATE OR FOLLOWER? MARIJUANA IN DELAWARE |
26 Widener Law Review 21 (2020) |
Delaware loves being first. We are known as the First State because we were the first state to ratify the Constitution on December 7, 1787, a day we still celebrate as Delaware Day. We are the First State, even our license plates proclaim it. Despite the focus on scientific and business innovation and love of being first, Delaware has traditionally... |

18 Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law 169 (Fall, 2020) |
Marijuana has been a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) for fifty years. However, the tide has turned, thirty-three states and Washington D.C. have legalized marijuana for either recreational and/or medical use, and it is likely that marijuana will eventually be removed as a Schedule I drug and become legal at... |

12 Golden Gate University Environmental Law Journal 175 (Spring, 2020) |
The United States is experiencing a green rush. States have been legalizing cannabis across the nation, and it has created a multi-billiondollar industry.

HALF-BAKED: REMEDYING THE CONFUSION BETWEEN STATE MEDICAL CANNABIS PROTECTIONS AND FEDERAL LAWS ON DRUG TESTING FOR FEDERAL CONTRACTORS |
43 University of Hawaii Law Review 231 (Winter 2020) |
In January 2020, Hawai'i Senators Rosalyn Baker (D) and Brian Taniguchi (D) introduced legislation that would grant medical cannabis users employment protections. This proposed legislation forbids employers from taking an adverse employment action solely because of an individual's status as a medical cannabis cardholder or for a positive drug test... |

IN THE AGE OF DECRIMINALIZATION, IS THE ODOR OF MARIJUANA ALONE ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY A WARRANTLESS SEARCH? |

On March 24, 2017, at around 1:45 a.m., Jesse Hill and Nicholas Willis sat in a parked, but running, car in Bronx, New York. Two plain clothes officers in an unmarked vehicle noticed them and pulled them over for what they asserted to be a traffic violation, claiming the defendants were parked in an area with diagonal white lines. This is where the... |

MARIJUANA LAW REFORM IN 2020 AND BEYOND: WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE'RE GOING |
43 Seattle University Law Review 883 (Spring, 2020) |
2016 was supposed to be a tipping point for marijuana legalization in the United States. Hillary Clinton was a huge favorite to win the presidency and, despite her lukewarm stance on marijuana law reform, many were predicting that the federal ban on marijuana would end during her first term in office. The unexpected election of Donald Trump changed... |

MEDICAL MARIJUANA REGISTRIES: A PAINFUL CHOICE? |

The unprecedented events of 2020 have demonstrated the need for major reforms to the criminal justice system in the United States.

26 Widener Law Review 101 (2020) |
Federal law prohibits the sale, possession, and use of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. Nevertheless, many states have legalized marijuana for medical or recreational uses and have licensed businesses for the purpose of selling marijuana to the public. As a result, a burgeoning marijuana industry has cropped up, and its participants... |

In a rare bipartisan moment under the Trump presidency, Congress passed a celebrated criminal justice reform package, the First Step Act of 2018. The law was necessary to begin remedying decades of an unduly harsh and discriminatory drug sentencing regime, which ushered in the era of mass incarceration.

The last decade has seen the beginning of a new era in United States criminal justice policy, one characterized by a waning commitment to over-criminalization, mass incarceration, and a punitive War on Drugs as well as a growing regret for the consequences of our prior policies. One of the central questions raised by this shifting paradigm is what... |

In the 10 years that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been regulating tobacco products, the agency has been plagued with setbacks, some of its own making, and some the result of outside forces. What has been consistently true is that the public health community has not had as much of a voice as it should have until public health... |

While state drug law reform is moving apace, federal drug law reform has moved much more slowly. Many, including the Judicial Conference of the United States and the United States Sentencing Commission, have urged Congress to enact substantive federal drug law reform for years. But Congress has not acted. As a result, the federal system continues... |
