The emergence of public policy by popular referendum that legalizes the sales and distribution of recreational cannabis has prompted a myriad of issues in the public policy domain. This dramatic swing from viewing marijuana as an illegal drug to a legally regulated substance has left many in the public policy arena struggling to deal with this policy shift. Issues such as licensing of retail shops, growing operations regulation, quality control, taxation policy, zoning restrictions etc., are proving to be complex. Public health and safety officials are trying to balance the implementation of these new laws with the public’s concern for safety.
The Certificate in Regulatory Affairs for Cannabis Control applies the public policy framework and provides practical training for implementing the rules of engagement in this new field. It consists of three online public policy courses. Each course delivers a well-rounded foundational understanding of the issues enabling students to act as change agents within their organizations and communities.
