Cannabis Guide for the USA & Canada (Texas)

The Meritas US & Canada Cannabis Guide

September 30, 2021

Written by John D. Robinson

The legal landscape associated with the emerging cannabis industry in the United States and Canada can be confusing. In the US, cannabis remains a Schedule I drug, and therefore illegal on the federal level. However, most US states have some form of medical and/or adult-use cannabis law in place. In Canada, the third anniversary of cannabis legalization, in fall of 2021, will see the start of a legislative review of the Cannabis Act and its impact on public health, potentially leading to significant policy and legislative changes. The Meritas US & Canada Cannabis Guide, a comprehensive overview of national, local, and tribal laws affecting the cannabis, hemp, and CBD industries, will help companies navigate this high-potential but risky business.
