The goal of the CMRC is to help Cannabis companies hit the ground running by leveraging SNIPP’s deep expertise and the flexible technology platforms it has engineered for highly-regulated industries, which have unique requirements compared to other consumer-oriented segments. The CMRC resource center is designed to help cannabis-related companies launch sophisticated solutions that are also legally-compliant, a very important aspect for all firms in the cannabis space.
