Cannabis cultivation is an industry with great economic promise, but the potential environmental cost of Illinois’ most recent economic boon needs to be acknowledged.

Attorneys with all levels of practice experience who attend this online program will better understand:
- How Illinois’ enabling legislation addressed energy usage, water usage, and solid waste concerns;
- The current status of the cannabis industry in Illinois, as well as the immediate outlook for its growth;
- How the cannabis industry may impact Illinois’ environment;
