Previously we wrote about equity compensation for cannabis employees from the perspective of companies. We have been dealing with more and more companies adding equity to their overall compensation scheme, so now is a good time to revisit it from the employee perspective. For an overview of the types of equity compensation available, see here.
I’ve written a couple of times about the ongoing struggle that is the California cannabis tax situation, and I was recently on a great panel about the future of cannabis taxes in the country. California cannabis taxes are some of the highest in the U.S.. The situation seems to be, thankfully, evolving for the better
Last week, I participated on a great panel about current and future cannabis taxes called “Solving the Cannabis Tax Puzzle: Approaches for an Emergent Industry” hosted by Ohio State University Moritz College of Law’s Drug Enforcement and Policy Center and the Center for New Revenue. The panel covered current and future cannabis taxes from a
I really fought myself on putting together a festivus post of all that went wrong for the cannabis industry in 2021. Instead, I want to focus on the positives for 2022 as the industry continues to mature and expand across the U.S. and abroad. As 2021 comes to a close, here’s what I’m looking forward
For the past year, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has directed its attention to the cannabis industry– in a helpful way! This includes promulgation of cannabis tax guidelines as well as webinars and public forums dedicated to tax compliance for marijuana businesses (together, the “Guidelines”).

Their complaints are warranted given the
He aquí un artículo alarmista publicado la semana pasada en el Willamette Week de Portland. Me gusta bastante esa publicación, pero el artículo hace tres afirmaciones relacionadas con los impuestos que me parecen erróneas. En defensa del autor, hay que decir que los reportajes dudosos sobre los impuestos del cannabis son un pasatiempo habitual en el sector y que la narrativa de las tiendas de cannabis oprimidas fiscalmente resulta atractiva. Consideremos
A continuación se incluyen las traducciones de esta entrada del blog: Chino/中文 Francés/ Français Alemán/ Deutsche Español Trabajo con empresas internacionales del sector del cannabis fuera de EE. UU. y recibo con frecuencia consultas de otras empresas que desean entrar en el mercado estadounidense o que ya venden en él a través de un intermediario, como un agente o un comercial
Recientemente mencioné que, salvo en el caso Champ contra el Comisionado, ninguna empresa del sector del cannabis ha ganado jamás un caso relacionado con el artículo 280E del Código de Rentas Internas. Uno de los reveses más sonados fue un caso de 2018 conocido como Harborside contra el Comisionado, en el que se declaró expresamente que el artículo 280E del Código de Rentas Internas era constitucional. Esa sentencia comenzaba con la memorable frase: «[Harborside] es propietaria de lo que...»
One of the most fundamental questions facing any businessperson in the cannabis industry and every other industry is: “What type of business entity should I use?” This is such a loaded question that your lawyer or accountant will first respond with, “That depends,” and then they will need to ask you at least ten follow-up
