ASC is a Leader in the Cannabis Industry
Starting with state security legislation and rules review through vulnerability assessments, policy and procedure development, technology assessments and designs and implementation leadership. All areas in the cannabis industry including Cultivation, Processing, Inspection, Transportation and Dispensing are available in our services.
The State Today – Different requirements State by State
The cannabis industry is rapidly expanding, and operators are mandated to comply with regulations which are defined by each individual state. Often, the operations and security requirements vary dramatically from state to state and it is the responsibility of the operator to decipher those regulations. The operator must then comply precisely with state regulations in order to attain and maintain their license to operate. This patchwork approach to cannabis regulations poses challenges to individual operators and more significantly to Multi-State Operators (MSO). This decentralized approach also causes many of the support industries to thrive in some states and stumble in other.
Moral: Experience increases probability of Success
