NEW YORK, September 28, 2020 – Lawyers who represent clients in the fast-growing legal cannabis industry must keep up with an array of evolving guidelines and regulations. Legal Guide to the Business of Marijuana: Cannabis, Hemp and CBD Regulation, 2020 Edition, from leading legal publisher PLI Press, offers a comprehensive, practical resource.
