Helping You Navigate the Opportunities and Risks
Among the many sweeping legal changes that have occurred in recent decades, perhaps none is more remarkable than the shift toward legalization of cannabis. Currently, cannabis is among the fastest growing industries in the United States, and that growth shows no signs of slowing.
While there are many incredible business opportunities in the cannabis market, there remains a significant amount of associated risk. Federally, although hemp-derived CBD has been legalized for certain uses, and will likely soon be legalized for others, under the Controlled Substances Act, marijuana remains a Schedule I substance. Nevertheless, dozens of states have adopted medical and recreational marijuana programs. Even more have enacted programs for hemp and hemp derivatives, in particular CBD.
