Navigating the overlapping state and federal regulations that affect cannabis in North America requires deep knowledge in many disciplines and commitment to the evolving cannabis industry. Individual states continue to approve its use for medical and recreational use, while the federal government continues to treat all cannabis products as illicit and dangerous narcotics, except for legally grown industrial hemp. Laws, regulations and enforcement will continue to be murky, leading to new threats of business disruption – and new opportunities.
Our team understands the unique challenges of the cannabis industry from local, national and global perspectives and, as one of the first major U.S.-based business advisory firms to establish a cannabis-specific practice, FTI Consulting is committed to helping the industry grow and succeed.
