Stanley A. Twardy, Jr.: Recreational Cannabis is Legal in Connecticut, but There Is a Ways to Go

Of Counsel Stanley A. Twardy, Jr. authored an op-ed for the Hartford Courant titled, "Recreational Cannabis is Legal in Connecticut, but there is a Ways to Go." The piece discusses the legalization of cannabis in Connecticut and how a carefully constructed legal apparatus is needed to regulate the brand new area of commerce for the state.

Twardy opens the op-ed piece with, "I recall more than 30 years ago, when I was U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut, writing an opinion piece on the war on drugs and the need to be vigilant in fighting it – a war that included marijuana as one of its targets. Now, here we are in 2022 and cannabis is legal in Connecticut for both medical and recreational usage. Times change and we need to change with them."
