Cannibas Law

Held 10 March, 2026

To launch our event, we had two fascinating panellists who personalise and informed on the issue of cannabis law from a criminal law and health regulation perspective. This was not a political rally cry or even centred around law reform – instead, we explored the personal and professional journeys of two key figures in the debate, and place this within a legal context.
