Understanding the Cannabis Reclassification Timeline The cannabis industry is closely watching the ongoing evaluation of cannabis reclassification under United States federal law. For years, cannabis has been classified as a Schedule I substance, creating a disconnect between federal restrictions and expanding state markets. In April 2026, the Department of Justice took a meaningful first…
Running a cannabis cultivation or manufacturing business requires precision at every turn. Production schedules are tight, margins even tighter, and every delay or misstep has a downstream impact — from supply chain disruptions to compliance risk. As the industry matures, growth increasingly depends on systems that connect information, anticipate needs, and inform action. For many…
Inventory costing is always important in manufacturing and retail. In cannabis, though, it’s mission critical. Costing touches compliance, profitability, and audit readiness — three areas where the stakes are higher than in most industries. Here we explore the inventory costing methods most relevant to cannabis operators, how 280E shapes what counts as cost of goods…
Ask any cannabis operator what keeps them up at night, and compliance will be near the top of the list. State regulators demand traceability down to the gram, and seed-to-sale systems were created to help them keep you in line.

The industry’s economic footprint is expected to contribute about $123.6 billion to the U.S. economy in…

Meanwhile, consumer demand is shifting, compliance technology is evolving, and sustainability is moving from “good practice”…
Matching production to customer demand is perhaps more critical to greenhouse growers than any other industry. Growing and selling seasons are relatively short, and flowers, shrubs, and trees can’t sit on the shelf forever. If you don’t forecast production correctly and match it to customer demand, you either lose out on sales or end up…
When working with integrating applications from two vendors, the experience can be frustrating for end-users. Data exchanges may not always flow smoothly, particularly when there’s no front-end for one of the applications. Without a front-end, the integration grows exponentially more complex. Users cannot tap into an interface with menus, buttons, and checkboxes to make sure…
The cannabis industry has experienced remarkable growth and state-based legalization, but understanding and following compliance requirements can be a daunting task for businesses in the sector.
