About this Webinar

Federal legalization may still be a long way off, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Sevices’ call for the rescheduling of cananbis to Schedule III signals a new era for the industry.

If approved by the Drug Enforcement Adminstration, the move to Schedule III is a major sign that the federal government is changing its approach to cannabis.

And for a cannabis industry that has been reeling in recent years, the move should provide much-needed assistance when it comes to issues ranging from taxation to the quest for funding.
