Dispensary Regulatory Authorities for Cannabis Business
The number of and types of regulatory agencies you will need to work with depends upon your state and local regulations and the type of cannabis business you plan to start. (Louisiana)
Begin by viewing or listening to the presentation, The Regulatory Landscape [audio, 10:22] to learn about regulatory agencies at both the state and national levels that you should become familiar with.
Taking the position of a new dispensary owner (either medical or recreational) come up with a list of agencies you will need to interact with in order to become and remain compliant.
Next, select one compliance rule (local regulation) in your area that might be easily misconstrued. What are the implications?
Finally, consider these agencies from a different business perspective – such as a CBD oil-infused coffee shop or a cultivation and extraction facility. How do the types of regulatory agencies you need to work with change at both the local, state and federal levels? Where will you look to find the appropriate agencies? Remember to include the appropriate law enforcement agencies as well.

Dispensary Regulatory Authorities
For the operations of Cannabis Dispensaries for Medical and Recreational Products, municipal and national government agencies have begun to loosen their restrictions on the use, growth, and sale of cannabis. By 2025, the U.S. cannabis industry will be worth thirty billion dollars yearly. The spread of cannabis will be essential to the development of that industry. Growing support exists for regulating and legalizing marijuana sales. Several regions and states in the U.S. have cannabis-regulating bodies. To operate a dispensary legally in the United States, a person must be aware of the following regulatory bodies: the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Food and Drug Administration, the United States Department of Agriculture (hemp), and the Cannabis Justice Office
