The sale and use of marijuana for both medical and recreational purposes is now legal at the state level in California, but marijuana remains a controlled (illegal) substance at the federal level. Additionally, California’s Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act provides individual cities the discretion to regulate and outright ban the sale and distribution of marijuana within their borders.

We invite you to join us on March 21 for a one-hour webinar on the fundamentals of California cannabis law hosted by Snell & Wilmer, the Business & Corporations Section of the Los Angeles County Bar Association and PDM, LLP. This program, featuring attorneys from Snell & Wilmer and a CPA from PDM, LLP, will include topics such as:

• An overview of the regulatory environment governing commercial cannabis operations in California.
  
  
• The implications of the conflict between federal and state law on the cannabis industry and the legal challenges that arise from that conflict.
  
  
• The unique tax issues that require careful structuring of cannabis businesses.
