Next Friday, the second annualNational Cannabis Policy Summit will take place at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., bringing together leaders and activists in cannabis policy and the cannabis industry to discuss important issues relevant to their communities and businesses.

The summit will also address the potential for the cannabis industry to provide a second chance to many victims of that war.Â

Videos of support will come from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL), and Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA).
