A coalition of state marijuana regulators met with federal officials and members of Congress this week to discuss the potential impact that national legalization and other cannabis policy changes could have on the local programs they oversee.

The Cannabis Regulators Association (CANNRA) organized the Wednesday meeting. While the group doesn’t take a position on legalization, it’s comprised of members whose states have ended prohibition and would be affected by any federal marijuana actions.

Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Dave Joyce (R-OH), both co-chairs of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, spoke with the state regulators, in addition to staffers from other congressional offices. Representatives from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Food and Drug Administration and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau were also present.
