Recently, in Cannabis is Coming! The Latest on Colombia and Mexico, we wrote about legislative initiatives regarding cannabis in two of Latin America’s most important economies. Today we turn our attention to another of the region’s traditional powerhouses, Argentina, which is seeing developments not just at the national level, but also in its provinces and
Due to the federal illegality of cannabis, cannabis businesses don’t receive normal treatment from the federal government (with maybe one or two exceptions, like the NLRB and the 2014 FinCEN guidance for access to financial institutions).

多年来，我们多次指出联邦机构选择性忽视大麻在联邦层面非法的现象。这种情况的发生频率远超你的想象——具体取决于议题性质（例如参见美国国家劳资关系委员会的案例）。然而令人惊讶的是，有家机构从未对州合法大麻采取过任何行动——尽管它正对CBD展开更深入的审查——那就是
