The Justice Department is moving to dismiss a lawsuit aimed at enabling interstate commerce of marijuana, which challenges federal prohibition laws. The lawsuit, led by cannabis businesses, argues that federal prohibition undermines state laws where marijuana is legal. This creates financial and operational difficulties for the industry. The DOJ, with backing from the executive branch, seeks to prevent this shift towards interstate commerce by maintaining federal restrictions, despite the growing legal acceptance of marijuana at the state level. #OregonFinanceExperts #CannabisBizCPA #PsychedelicTaxLaw #OregonCPANetwork #CannabisHealthTrends #PsychedelicFinance #TaxInsightsOregon

https://lnkd.in/eb3wAw9n With cannabis legalization in New York and New Jersey, an unintended consequence has reared its head – the proliferation of illegal smoke shops. 🚨 These clandestine outlets are more than just a nuisance; they're a tangible threat to public safety and the integrity of the legal cannabis movement. These illegal shops skirt the law, offering untaxed, unregulated, and potentially harmful products. The absence of compliance not only jeopardizes consumer safety but also sows seeds of violence with cash-based transactions making them prime targets for armed robberies. This is a double-edge sword to patrons and the community at large. Plus, it's not just about dodging taxes or skimping on quality control. A recent bust in Manhattan uncovered fentanyl-laced products on the shelves – highlighting the stark reality of substance danger in these unmonitored environments. It's clear that our communities and the blooming legal cannabis industry deserve better. That's why there's an increasing push for initiatives like the Smokeout Act, aiming to empower law enforcement in clamping down on these rogue operations. ✊💼 Join the conversation on how we tackle this growing concern and uphold the standards of the legal cannabis industry. Because when the smoke clears, it's the safety and well-being of our communities that should remain our highest priority. #CannabisCommunity #PublicSafety #SmokeoutAct #Legalization #CommunityHealth
