Blunt Business welcomes back Jonathan Robbins, head of the cannabis practice at Akerman, to talk about the cannabis industry's persistent hurdles, encompassing federal reform, banking complexities, and state-federal law discrepancies. The stalled DEA rescheduling and the need for a revised hemp bill were key points.
Banking challenges, including debanking and prohibitive tax rates, were highlighted, with the Senate's limited progress in addressing these issues noted. The ongoing legislative battles between branches of government, the impact of specific senators, and the necessity of grassroots advocacy were emphasized.
The conversation also underscored the importance of legal and financial strategies for cannabis businesses, the need for increased cannabis research, and the potential impacts of upcoming Farm Bill amendments and state-level initiatives like Smart and Safe Florida's revised adult-use proposal.
Future steps recommended include cannabis businesses preparing for THC regulation changes, exploring M&A and debt refinancing, and engaging expert advisors, alongside continued advocacy for federal reform.
