What Are the Main Regulatory Challenges for Cannabis Businesses?

According to the federal Controlled Substances Act, cannabis is a Schedule I substance, making it illegal at the federal level. However, over the course of the 21st century, cannabis has become legal for adult use or medical use in many states. Cannabis businesses have flourished in these states but may be unable to claim certain tax credits or deductions as per Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code.

Additionally, each state in which cannabis is legal has established its own regulatory standards for licensure and product testing, packaging, labeling, and marketing. These standards often vary substantially across states. Cannabis licensing attorneys, and cannabis attorneys in general, are experts in these regulatory variations who will ensure your business remains compliant with all relevant laws.

In which states does Rudick Law Group write applications?
