. National Survey on Marijuana Laws and Regulations
This survey has been provided by the Fox Rothschild Administrative Law & Government Relations Practice as a quick reference to relevant
laws and statutes governing marijuana usage in the United States.
Legalized cannabis – for medical or recreational purposes – is a rapidly expanding industry in the United States, with various states, including
California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, as well as the District of
Columbia, regulating its use. Navigating the various state compliance regulations – while the consumption of marijuana, regardless of its
intended use, is still prohibited at the federal level – can be a daunting task.
Fox attorneys are experienced in counseling legalized cannabis growers, distributors, processors, investors and others, including those
supplying ancillary products and services, operating in this highly regulated industry. We represent clients in the formation of business
entities and creation of operational plans and shareholder agreements; real estate and land use planning; acquisition of cultivation and
dispensary licenses; preparation and filing of forms required by various states; compliance with relevant state regulations; and assistance
with U.S. Department of Treasury issues for banking and financial services clients engaged in the industry, and more.
We have also advised
clients on Illinois’ Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act as well as similar laws in other states where the product is
legalized and regulated.
