[PRESS RELEASE] – DENVER, July 7, 2026 – GrowGeneration Corp., one of the nation’s largest suppliers of specialty products for controlled environment agriculture (CEA), commercial cultivation and garden centers, announced its membership in the U.S. Cannabis Roundtable (USCR), one of the nation’s leading policy organizations shaping the future of cannabis regulation. GrowGeneration will be represented in USCR by its CEO and co-founder, Darren Lampert.
The USCR is among the leading voices in federal cannabis reform, bringing together operators, ancillary service providers and policy experts to advocate for responsible regulation, financial access and industry standardization. Its members include the nation’s leading cannabis operators and ancillary businesses and operate in all 41 states where cannabis is legal (medical or adult use).
“We're pleased to welcome GrowGeneration as the newest member of USCR,” said Charlie Bachtell, CEO of Cresco Labs and chairperson of USCR. “With expertise across both agriculture and cannabis, they are uniquely positioned to complement our members' knowledge and experience. We're looking forward to their contributions as we continue to advocate for commonsense industry regulations.”
“We are honored to join USCR and look forward to working with other industry thought leaders during this pivotal time,” Lampert said. “The order moving state-licensed medical cannabis to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act is a landmark event, providing potential 280E tax relief to qualifying operators. This is a meaningful tailwind for our customers, increasing their capacity to invest in the cultivation infrastructure we provide. We believe GrowGeneration is well positioned to support our customers as the industry continues to mature and evolve.”
