Between Two Chambers
Tensions between Democrats and Republicans may seem high, but those of us on the ground in Maryland’s capital of Annapolis know that compromise is the name of the game. More often than not, lawmakers on opposite sides of the aisle have close working relationships and are even good friends. That’s the stuff you don’t always see in the headlines. I’m Andrew Griffin, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at the Maryland Chamber of Commerce. In this podcast, I’ll have conversations with legislators and government pros on both sides of the aisle to discuss real solutions in the spirit of compromise. Maryland businesses, workers and families are facing some big issues, and we want to address them.Because the only way to get things done in Annapolis is to be, Between Two Chambers.

Adult-use Cannabis Chat with Warren Lemley
Hello and welcome to Season 2 of our podcast series, Between Two Chambers. I’m Andrew Griffin, your host and Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at the Maryland Chamber of Commerce. I am so excited to continue this podcast.
One of the hot topics in Annapolis right now is the legalization of adult-use cannabis, coming to our state July 1 following last November’s referendum. Legislators are currently reviewing the lengthy bill to introduce this budding industry – and so are we!
In this episode, I sit down with Warren Lemley, president, co-founder and owner of Peake ReLeaf, a Rockville-based cannabis dispensary advocating for a safe and regulated Maryland cannabis industry.
