CANNABIS

We know what licences and authorizations you need to start-up your cannabis business, how to obtain them, and how to keep them in good standing so you can keep your business running. We know what makes a commercial cannabis space regulation-friendly and how to save you time and money in making your selection (visit our checklist of preliminary leasing steps for tenants and landlords in the cannabis industry).
