Webinar Description
The webinar will provide an overview of the regulated, legal side of the industry which now includes 19 states with recreational/adult use access and 38 states with medical access. This session will lay a foundation focusing on the modern historical background of the cannabis plant and the evolution of laws and regulations related to marijuana and agricultural hemp. The segment is designed to be useful for CPA practitioners desiring to provide or enhance their services within the cannabis and hemp niches. This session includes fast-paced discussion of what has been learned in other more mature markets like Colorado, Oregon and California and what to expect in emerging markets where there is currently only medical access to cannabis or recent state legal regulatory access to recreational cannabis. The state of Colorado will be used as an example of cannabis economics and regulatory oversight.
