Global Overview

Countries around the world and most US states have legalized some form of cannabis production, distribution and retail sales, whether for medical purposes, recreational use or both. Statutes and regulations governing the activities of cannabis business owners, investors and customers, however, vary widely. This is particularly evident in the United States, where state laws have moved forward to permit the sale and use of cannabis while the federal government is still considering the reclassification of THC-containing cannabis.
