Written by Ben Hartman | Feb 23, 2022 2:17:04 PM

When people daydream about running a cannabis business, the images often follow a familiar script: perfectly cured buds in jars behind the counter, collaborations with local craft cannabis growers, and days spent testing and tweaking cannabis concentrates on the floor of an extraction facility surrounded by nature’s bounty.

But how often do they think about how to keep a hungry bear from tearing through their dumpster? Or how to carry out a product recall and ensure that all inventory and transactions are reported? What about how to set up security cameras and what to do if there’s a robbery?

In our free guide, “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Cannabis Compliance in 2022,” we take a closer look at a host of compliance issues facing the industry today, including:

  • Why SOPs are so important 
    Take a look at the preventative measures that help cannabis businesses run safer and more efficiently while meeting their compliance demands. 
  • Why you can’t afford to cut corners 
    The “under the table” culture of the underground cannabis world doesn't translate to the legal industry, and why businesses must act accordingly. 
  • Why you shouldn’t skimp on security for cannabis 
    Mainly operating in cash and with facilities full of valuable inventory, marijuana businesses are an attractive target. Take a look at the importance of security SOPs.
  • What a bear with the munchies can teach us about cannabis regulations 
    One person’s garbage is another person’s serious compliance violation. See how the story of one dumpster-diving bear illustrates the importance of proper waste disposal. 
  • How compliance deadlines can make or break a company 
    Even with the best intentions, companies can fall out of compliance simply for failing to renew a license. See how compliance management software can help keep track of deadlines. 
  • Why packaging is of such crucial importance 
    In cannabis, the packaging is about much more than a cool label. Packaging is an essential safety issue that can result in compliance failure, fines, or worse.  
  • How cannabis education can promote safety and boost sales 
    The world of cannabis is more complex than ever. Well-informed dispensary staff can mean more informed and loyal customers and better products on the market.

The legal cannabis industry presents a wealth of opportunities that are difficult to overstate. But the compliance and regulation demands facing the industry can scuttle even the most well-planned and well-funded marijuana business endeavor. 

In “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Cannabis Compliance in 2022,” we shine a spotlight on the compliance hurdles and blind spots facing cannabis professionals and how resources like the Rootwurks Learning Experience Platform (LXP) can provide you the means to secure your dream.
