Prof. Brandeis provides an overview of the final regulations and the licensing timeline for starting a marijuana business.He notes, "This article provides a snapshot of the current landscape of legal marijuana in Alaska. Despite the brevity, it illustrates the complexity of birthing an industry from scratch, of crafting a regulatory framework and of moving the product from a black market to a legal market."
