Welcome aboard. I’m a scrappy and dedicated advocate for legal cannabis businesses and entrepreneurs, the new hemp economy and the thriving, living Earth and all its inhabitants. I’m also a keyboardist and songwriter but that’s a whole other story.
For thousands of years, human civilization has utilized the cannabis plant, whose varieties include both marijuana and hemp. Some researchers believe hemp may have been the first plant ever domesticated by humans. The last 80 years of cannabis prohibition, in the scheme of history, is an aberration.
There is a growing national consensus in the U.S. that cannabis regulation should be left to the states. This consensus, however, has yet to reach critical mass in Congress – so it falls upon all of us to continue to prioritize Congressional repeal of federal cannabis prohibition.
Cannabis businesses are popping up all over the US. The states have developed differing regulatory systems as the federal government drags its feet. Great opportunity lies ahead, but significant risk lies with those who enter these choppy waters unprepared. Cannabis and hemp businesses need guidance and advice on any number of fronts, depending on the situation. Setting up and growing a business. Securing intellectual property. Business contracts. Acquiring licenses and permits. Participating in the hemp farming economy. Acting as a retailer or distributor. Legal and regulatory compliance.
