Providing sound legal advice to growers, distributors, processors, and investors in the business of cannabis
Legalized cannabis is an evolving and vast new field, with a growing list of jurisdictions now regulating its use for medical and/or recreational purposes. Even with many states fully legalizing cannabis (under state law) or expected to in the near future, due to conflicting state legislation with its continued federal criminalization, cannabis is conceivably the most confounding market segment to operate in. The attorneys at Capehart Scatchard minimize this dilemma by paying close attention to regulatory and legislative developments affecting the industry. Our attorneys are fully capable of assisting New Jersey businesses, public entities, and entrepreneurs interested in entering the multifaceted cannabis market by maneuvering through the complex and intricate state level regulatory legalities for them.
Sheila M. Mints, Esq., chair of the Cannabis Law Group was recently interviewed where she answered questions about New Jersey’s cannabis industry.
