Cannabis for Brazilian Pets and Their Humans

A bill (369/2021) to allow veterinarians to prescribe cannabis products has been introduced in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies. Under the terms of the bill, products must be authorized by the Brazilian regulatory authorities or, in the case of imported products, their counterparts in the country of origin. If the government does not issue specific regulations

FREE Webinar – Changing Tides: Lobbying on Cannabis Issues in the Biden Administration

REGISTER TODAY! With Democrats now in control of the White House and Congress, the chances of federal legalization and regulation have never been better. Prior industry lobbying efforts have mostly focused on rescheduling cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act, but the inability to bank cannabis proceeds or deduct business expenses (due to federal illegality) has

Cannabis Litigation: Curaleaf Wins Dismissal of Securities Class Action Lawsuit

Curaleaf received some good news in mid-February when a federal court dismissed a class action lawsuit alleging it violated federal securities laws.

Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Regulations: What Should Cannabis Businesses Be Doing RIGHT NOW?

Six weeks ago, Mexico came out with regulations for cultivating, processing, selling, and importing/exporting medical cannabis, making the country the largest in the world (by population) to have a fully legalized medical cannabis supply chain. We have written several blog posts about Mexico’s new cannabis regulations and we put on a webinar for stakeholders that drew

Cannabis in South Africa: The Rainbow Nation Leads the Continent

South Africa is one of the few jurisdictions outside North America that has legalized recreational cannabis, albeit under very limited circumstances. Appropriately for a country belonging to the common-law tradition, legalization was not the result of a legislative enactment, but rather of a 2018 decision by the Constitutional Court (“ConCourt”) of South Africa, which partially

Arizona Cities Ban Recreational Only Marijuana Establishments

Arizonans knew zoning issues could cause headaches for dispensary owners. However, what was unanticipated are the new bans by some of the Arizona cities for recreational marijuana establishments. Shortly after the passage of Proposition 207, otherwise known as the Smart and Safe Arizona Act (the “Act”), several Arizona cities moved to ban recreational marijuana sales,

Cannabis Litigation: How Effective Are Motions to Dismiss?

Last month, I wrote this post on the latest development in the trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Veritas Fine Cannabis (“VFC”) against Veritas Farms. Unfortunately for VFC, Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty had issued a recommended order that the Court grant Veritas Farms’ motion to dismiss – and to dismiss the claims with prejudice (meaning,

Federal Cannabis Lobbying: Altria Has Entered the Chat

In my experience, lobbying is truly an art and not a science, and a very important art at that. And there’s been no shortage of cannabis lobbying over the years on both the state and federal level. Typically, cannabis trade groups (and there seems to be one for every cannabis topic now, including a recently
