CONVENING REGULATORS FROM DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT JURISDICTIONS TO DISCUSS LESSONS LEARNED AND EMERGING CHALLENGES IN CANNABIS POLICY AND REGULATION HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT. THE CANNABIS REGULATORS ASSOCIATION (CANNRA) IS A NONPARTISAN, NONPROFIT 501(C)(4) ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ENGAGED IN CANNABIS, CANNABINOID, AND HEMP REGULATION AND POLICY IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS 45 STATES AND U.S. TERRITORIES, CANADA, AND THE NETHERLANDS. THE CURRENT PROPOSAL REQUESTS FUNDING TO SUPPORT CANNRA’S 2024 ANNUAL MEMBER MEETING, A UNIQUE EVENT THAT BRINGS TOGETHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS DIFFERENT REGULATORY ISSUES, SHARE NEW APPROACHES BEING TAKEN IN THEIR JURISDICTIONS, TROUBLESHOOT CHALLENGES, AND BUILD NEW SKILLS AND CONNECTIONS TO SUPPORT THEIR ONGOING GOVERNMENT REGULATORY WORK. THE MEETING IS RESTRICTED TO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ONLY TO ENSURE OPEN SHARING AND EXCHANGE ACROSS GOVERNMENT JURISDICTIONS. THE MEETING HAS TWO SPECIFIC AIMS: AIM 1 IS TO IMPROVE REGULATORY SCIENCE BY IDENTIFYING, DISCUSSING, AND DEBATING EMERGING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE-BASED OUTCOMES IN CANNABINOID POLICY AND REGULATION, AND AIM 2 IS TO DEVELOP AND FOSTER SKILLS THAT GOVERNMENT REGULATORS CAN USE TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES THAT PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND CONSUMER SAFETY. MEETING CONTENT IS GUIDED BY CANNRA’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND PI, DR. GILLIAN SCHAUER, AND A MEETING ORGANIZING COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF THE LEAD CANNABIS AND/OR HEMP REGULATORS FROM SEVEN DIVERSE STATES (CA, CO, GA, IL, MD, MO, OK).

SESSION AND WORKSHOP MODERATORS ARE ALL CANNRA MEMBER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND THE PI AND ORGANIZING COMMITTEE WORK WITH MODERATORS TO IDENTIFY PANELISTS WHO REPRESENT DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES. AGENDA TOPICS ARE SELECTED USING INPUT FROM PAST YEAR MEMBER MEETING PARTICIPANTS AND CANNRA MEMBERS AND INCLUDE SKILL-BASED WORKSHOPS TO IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THE SKILLSET REGULATORS CAN APPLY TO THEIR WORK. PANEL DISCUSSIONS AND WORKSHOPS ARE DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO FDA’S MISSION AND THE MISSION OF THE FDA OFFICE OF REGULATION AND WILL COVER TOPICS THAT INCLUDE: CANNABINOID HEMP PRODUCTS AND POLICIES; CANNABINOID PRODUCT SAFETY AND LAB TESTING; PRODUCT STANDARDS; PACKAGING AND LABELING REGULATIONS; TECHNOLOGY AND CANNABIS; DATA MONITORING; USING SCIENCE TO INFORM POLICY; PUBLIC HEALTH AND YOUTH PREVENTION; AND MORE.
