The impact on Delta-8 THC ("D8") of AK Futures v. Boyd Street Distro, a 2022 Ninth Circuit decision, has been widely exaggerated. As my colleague Griffen Thorne explains: What AK Futures actually did was affirm a preliminary ruling in a trademark dispute where legality of delta-8 products was one of a number of issues at play. In order to
2024年对大麻企业和投资者而言将是动荡的一年。诸多事件中包括：总统大选、大麻可能被重新归类为《管制物质法案》第三类物质、即将出台的《农业法案》或将重塑大麻及大麻制品的监管框架，甚至可能出台联邦大麻立法。
One of the most persistent and common failures in the cannabis industry is using handshakes instead of written cannabis contracts. This is an issue I've written about for years (most recently here), and it doesn't seem like there has been much of a willingness to change. A lot of companies would like to move into
您可能认为尽职调查仅适用于商业或房地产交易。但对于大麻贷款交易中的贷款方而言，尽职调查同样必不可少。我最近写过一篇文章，探讨借款人在大麻贷款交易中可以期待什么。今天，我想更深入地探讨一下尽职调查
Welcome to the eighth annual “State of the State” post on Oregon cannabis. Last year was memorable for Oregon the industry, pockmarked by OLCC scandal, heavy regulatory swings, and even marquee litigation. We also saw the state's first very-large-business failure, more trade association consolidation, and other altibajos as my mother-in-law might say. Let’s go! Sales
Nondisclosure agreements (sometimes abbreviated, "NDAs") are some of the most important agreements a company can sign. At the same time, they can be some of the simplest agreements to get in place. Today I want to do a deeper dive into nondisclosure agreements, what they contain, and why they are important. What is a nondisclosure
Cannabis real estate transactions can be notoriously complicated - much more so than your average real estate deal. On January 9, 2024, I'll be speaking on a panel called "Navigating Real Estate Issues Impacting the Cannabis Industry" for the Los Angeles County Bar Association, where my co-panelists and I plan on touching on many of
我偶然读到了杰森·帕特罗维茨（Jason Paltrowitz）最近发表的一篇题为《合法却糟糕：小盘股IPO周期》的文章。文中提出了一些有趣的见解，对于大麻企业而言，我完全赞同其中的观点——除了结论部分。该结论认为，对于小型企业而言，OTCQX和OTCQB市场是美国主要证券交易所的良好替代选择。该
Cannabis companies that need more money than they can generate through sales generally have two options: borrow money (debt) or solicit investments (equity). Over the years as the industry has constricted, equity finance became less of an option. I recently predicted that equity investment will reignite when cannabis is rescheduled. But that hasn't happened yet,
One of the main reasons why I am such a vocal supporter of written cannabis contracts is allocation of risk and liabilities. Parties to a cannabis contract have a number of ways that they can allocate risks and liabilities that they just won't have in a "handshake" deal. Today I'll explore six of the top
