Gambardella, Cipriano, Gottlieb & Hathaway's Cannabis Practice Group
In 2021, Connecticut signed its safe regulation of the adult use of cannabis, joining the growing number of states that have already legalized it under state law. With that, the state is expected to grow in cultivation, distribution, possession, and cannabis dispensaries, which will bring a significant economic impact to Connecticut.
