Southern University
Southern University in Baton Rouge is one of two universities in Louisiana — along with LSU — allowed by law to grow medical marijuana as part of a program originally passed by lawmakers in 2015. However, Southern University is also the only historically black university in the country to be involved in growing medical marijuana, which has put it in the spotlight in recent years as it stepped into the industry.
This session will discuss the emergence of HBCUs in the medical marijuana industry as it relates to agriculture, compliance and the law and shaping the narrative of our institutions in this business that is new to some of our states.
