Course Overview:
Marijuana decriminalization continues to occur across the United States with twenty-three states passing legislation to make Marijuana legal. An additional eight-teen states have approved marijuana for medical purposes.
It appears that the federal government is on the verge of reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule I controlled Substance to a Schedule III controlled substance.
This training course will provide law enforcement officers with valuable information on the legalization process as well as the continued increase in illicit marijuana operations that occur in states where marijuana has been decriminalized.
These illicit operations pose extreme dangers to communities as well as first responders as there have been an increase in residential explosions related to marijuana grows and THC extraction products.
The course will conclude by providing examples and data related to the unintended crime consequences of the decriminalization of marijuana.
