As the cannabis industry matures and moves into a “state” of FULL on legalization. We begin to notice changes. These changes can be small or BIG, depending on the new official laws of the land.
With a dividing line between recreational and medical cannabis making an appearance. How do you keep track of what the politicians are doing? When a law changes, do they send you a letter and politely inform you of their recent updates? Or. Is “ignorance of the law” not tolerate, no matter how the law comes into being?
