The current regulatory environment in cannabis that began in the last couple of decades is now unsustainable at the federal level.

The criminality of marijuana, application of the 280E tax code, and banking for state-licensed cannabis businesses have to be solved in 2021.

The cannabis industry must decide how to fix these 3 issues while transcending all the politically divisive elements that are slowing down the progression, growth, and valuations of our businesses.

The cannabis industry's national trade organizations who have been around the longest are in a tough position. They are not politically experienced and big enough to face the new realities of Washington D.C. without significant financial resources & additional personnel. Our industry has to recognize that.

We need a sophisticated plan and we should be a little more paranoid of what Big Pharma could do at the federal level to take over our industry if we do not do a better job committing and coordinating our resources.

This site will explore this issue until it is resolved and there is a bipartisan consensus with accompanying legislation for The Cannabis Renaissance to thrive in the United States.

I shall occasionally write about matters that are pressing to Arizona's marijuana industry.
