Dispensary Regulatory Authorities for Cannabis Business

The number of and types of regulatory agencies you will need to work with depends upon your state and local regulations and the type of cannabis business you plan to start. (Louisiana)
Begin by viewing or listening to the presentation, The Regulatory Landscape [audio, 10:22] to learn about regulatory agencies at both the state and national levels that you should become familiar with.
Taking the position of a new dispensary owner (either medical or recreational) come up with a list of agencies you will need to interact with in order to become and remain compliant.
Next, select one compliance rule (local regulation) in your area that might be easily misconstrued. What are the implications?
Finally, consider these agencies from a different business perspective – such as a CBD oil-infused coffee shop or a cultivation and extraction facility. How do the types of regulatory agencies you need to work with change at both the local, state and federal levels? Where will you look to find the appropriate agencies? Remember to include the appropriate law enforcement agencies as well.
