Federal Cannabis Legalization In The United States: What Will It Mean?

The Biden Administration has not yet prioritized the federal legalization of cannabis. And with legislative efforts mostly falling short of any substantive relief for today’s state-legal cannabis businesses, operators continue to be burdened with stringent tax and banking restrictions, lack of governmental support and resources, and prohibition of interstate or global commerce. In this session, experts with an intricate understanding of federal regulatory and financial structures will provide valuable insights into: An overview of the temperature and recent efforts from the White House and Congress; The relief that could come for cannabis operators in a federally legal market; The potential market slowdowns under federal regulations; How federal oversight (including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) would impact compliance and related costs; How plant-touching businesses can influence decision-making in D.C.; and How legalization could dynamically shift the competitive landscape and what that shift would mean for your business.
