"Marylanders already pay a premium tax on retail cannabis products. Raising these taxes even higher will undoubtedly drive prices out of reach for some consumers. They will also hurt state-licensed businesses, many of which have already invested millions of dollars in up-front costs and are still struggling to break even."

Consider it a testament to the ubiquity and flexibility of the endocannabinoid system: we can inhale medicinal cannabinoids via combustion or vaporization; ingest them via food or drink; and absorb them directly through the skin, the bodys largest organ. This latter category is broader and more complex than many of us give it credit for. Inside the mouth, it includes both buccal (between the gums and cheek, as with a lozenge) and sublingual (under the tongue, as with a tincture) modes of absorpt

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

For many cannabis brands, licensing their trademarks can be a savvy business move (for more information on cannabis trademarks generally, check out our webinar, Trademarking Cannabis: Cutting Through the Legal Haze ). But it also comes with its own set of challenges. Unlike in most industries, cannabis operates in a complicated legal gray zone which means you cant just grab your standard trademark agreement and call it good.

Since cannabis remains federally illegal, many banks, who run on a risk-based assessment, refuse to do businesses with cannabis companies. With 24 states, Washington D.C, and Guam having fully legal operating cannabis markets under their own laws, banks are put in an awkward position because of the inconsistencies between state and federal law. In 2021, only 518 of the almost 5,000 commercial banks in the U.S. have reported servicing the cannabis industry.

When it comes to any hot-button issue like cannabis legalization, there are always two sides, often without much middle ground. For those looking through a pro-legalization lens, efforts to continue federal prohibition and bar states from legalizing should be a thing of the past. Whereas, for proponents of anti-legalization, prohibition is a no-brainer.
