Cannabis Compliance: Often Overwhelming, But Always Essential



When people consider starting a career or a business in cannabis, they don’t always think about the complex and often challenging demands of compliance. In this webinar, our expert panelists will discuss why you should never cut corners when it comes to compliance. In addition, they'll highlight how while compliance regulations may seem like little more than a nuisance, they are in fact an essential part of running a cannabis business and can be the difference between building a brand that lasts or being a flash in the pan. 

About this Webinar

Running a cannabis business can entail all types of costs and considerations. These can include everything from deciding how much to pay employees to which products to stock and which properties fit the budget for a retail storefront or production facility.  

With so many start-up costs and licensing fees, it can be tempting to cut corners. 

When it comes to compliance, though, cutting corners to save some money can end up costing you dearly. Compliance failures can result in hefty fines, damage to your company's reputation, and even loss of license. 

But how can you know where to start? In the absence of federal legalization, legal cannabis is regulated by a patchwork of state and local authorities, with guidelines that can vary from one jurisdiction to the next.  

In this webinar held by the NHCC in collaboration with Rootwurks - a cannabis education and compliance company based out of Austin - we will speak to compliance expert Rafael Bombonato about the importance of compliance in running a cannabis business, what it entails, and how to simplify your processes so you can make sure to stay ahead of the game.

  • The importance of meeting the compliance demands of cannabis 
  • Why you should never cut corners on compliance
  • Best practices for avoiding compliance failure 
  • The steps cannabis companies take to build a culture of compliance adherence 
  • How compliance protocols are crucial to ensuring safety in the workplace
  • How compliance adherence can help companies avoid product liability claims  
  • How compliance covers things you’ve maybe never thought of - like how to dispose of waste or place a surveillance camera
  • The importance of meeting compliance deadlines  
  • How workplace and cannabis education can improve compliance adherence and safety
  • Why compliance shouldn’t be seen as just a burden - and how it can also help companies protect their employees, customers, and reputation
