    Problems Marijuana Business Owners Face<\/h2>\n

    The contradiction between state and federal law has caused a major headache for cannabis business owners and entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Larger cannabis operations could be shut down by the DEA, and legal cannabusinesses must compete with a significant black market.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Marijuana businesses also face more pragmatic issues like not being able to open a bank account, problems finding insurance, and the inability to deduct expenses on federal tax returns \u2014 all because marijuana is illegal under federal law.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Hiring a Cannabis Attorney Can Help<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The cannabis industry is one that business owners and entrepreneurs need to enter with as much knowledge and guidance as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Assistance from an\u00a0attorney well-versed in cannabis law<\/a>\u00a0is crucial in order to protect business ventures and to stay out of trouble with the federal government.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
